Good Morning Monday 16th January 2023

Good morning from a Nippy Co Armagh,
Up early as DD has an early appointment, then going to look for a tiny handbag !
I don’t do tiny , but it seems my nice designer bag would count as cabin baggage on EasyJet
Can anyone confirm this ? 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning from Colchester where it's been a rainy night and the "feels like" temperature on my weather app is in minus figures all day.
Thinking of hibernation.
Admin and holiday booking today, so mostly keeping warm except for putting the bins out later.
Will settle down with a cuppa now and read the rest of the thread. I do love being retired on days like this.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from a wet and windy south Hants.
I hope those with medical appointments go as well as they can, with good outcomes.

Not much planned for today other than a DDog walk between the showers 🤞 - although we do need to make a start on sorting and clearing the —junk room— spare bedroom!

Have the best day you can. Thinking of those that are unwell and/or are feeling unwell.
A hug 🤗 and 🌻 for you all x

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s very cold at -3º and we’ve a light covering of snow
Hope all goes well with the scan today mick don’t overdo the walking
This morning I’m going to the Zumba class at the gym and then a bit of shopping at Tesco. I’ll be home by lunchtime then I’ll just do a bit of housework this afternoon and try to keep warm
Sorry to hear you’ve had a restless night greyduster take it easy today, brighter warmer days will be on their way soon
Have a great trip Nannyjan and safe travels!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings💐

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. Sun and a 3 degree temp today.

I didn’t get on the thread yesterday with getting up so late after our get together. The last guests left at 2am. It was a great party everyone enjoyed it.
Grammaretto two of my guests who are friends of my sister in law came and they brought me a hamper made from lots of lovely foods from the Scottish Borders where they live. As they walked in they apologised straight away as they didn’t know I was coeliac so a lot I can’t personally use but it was incredibly kind of them. We have been invited to visit them later this year.

Best wishes for your CT scan Mick.
NannyJan safe journey have a great time.

Have a safe day everyone stay warm and virtual hugs to those feeling under the weather who need a duvet day today. 🌻🌻

Grey skies and noticeably colder this morning and staying put in bed is tempting but I am committed to driving two friends to U3A this morning so must get going. Hate January but won’t get to spring without it.

Good luck with your hospital visit, Mick, and hope that everyone’s plans for the day work out well.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I had a peek through the curtains and it’s dark, damp and dismal. Should be a typical Monday today. Waitrose, laundry and ironing. I may try out my new soup maker at lunchtime. I’ve already taken some pheasant stock out to defrost. I hope all those with difficulties have a better day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a gloomy Sefton. Damp underfoot with raindrops on the window so it has been raining overnight. Dry at the moment & very cold.
A lovely busy day yesterday with both sons & granddaughters for lunch. GD1 stayed for the afternoon to give mum & dad some free time. Then out for a Sunday roast at a local restaurant.
Singing this morning. Always an uplifting start to the week. We will leave our session smiling.

Good morning all from chilly Harrogate- temperature zero!
Yesterday felt sick so didn’t go to church took a while to pass, but OK later.
Good luck with the scan today Mick take care the rest of the day.
Safe journey Nannyjan- I haven’t been to Budapest either.
GrandMattie glad the service was easier than last week.
Greyduster a duvet day sounds good.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning Mick and all from a cold and dark Oxfordshire, if I open the curtains I’ll wake the dog up and as she is snoring peacefully on the spare bed I’ll leave her, so I don’t know what’s happening weather wise.
What a long way to go to Banbury Mick, I wonder why the appointment isn’t at the JR? I hope it goes well for you.
I have a shingles vaccination today, I’ve never had Chicken Pox, but apparently I can catch Chicken Pox from someone who has Shingles and then I will be at risk of getting Shingles later, I seem to be immune to Chicken Pox and GermanMeasles, odd, but there you are. I expect my Mum was relieved that I escaped at least 2 childhood illnesses.
Hopefully the Ukraine Truck will be arriving today, we are surrounded by boxes and I need to clean, I suppose if you are relying on a donated vehicle and volunteer drivers it’s difficult to specify the exact dates.
Apart from that it’s a normal cleaning, dog walking and laundry day. Left overs from Sunday roast so no cooking. Nephew came over too and seemed on good form which was a nice surprise.
I hope everyone’s appointments, travel plans and Duvet days all go well, let’s hope we see some sunshine today. Have a good one everybody.

Morning from S Hampshire at 3, we had rain overnight. Hope today goes well Mick. Enjoy your break NannyJan.
I’m on the voluntary phones today, usually busy, quiz in our local at 8pm, wrapped up warm.
Enjoy your day if you can 🦩🦩

Marydoll and ((hugs))

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
It's supposed to be sunny here today.
I'm going on the U3A walk so must make a packed lunch.
I bought a shopping trolley for trips like yours BlueSapphire . I used to take my heavy pottery to craft fairs so I could use the bus.
Nowadays it's the green option! And they come in bright colours.

Good luck Mick for the scan. Take it easy.
I took my specs off and lost them while taking this photo yesterday.

Good morning all from Glasgow, where its -2°C. At least its not snowing GMBatty, it's probably on its way.

I hope your scan goes well, Mick.
Safe travels to all.
Another groundhog day for me, I'm still struggling and fed up being unable to do much.

Have a pleasant day folks and for those who aren't up to par, have an gentle day. day.

Good morning from the NE where it is -1 and forecast to snow.
I am going to have a quiet day catching up with TV and doing crosswords.
Our Sunday dinner was delicious and SIL took some of the leftovers home with him.
We spent an hour or two trying to reorganise the music room but ended up putting furniture back where it was, the piano was always in the optimum position.
Have the best day you can.

Good morning all from snowy South Lanarkshire.

Good luck with your scan Mick.

Safe journey Nannyjan.

Yesterday was the first Sunday since before Christmas that DH and I got back to our usual routine of meeting up for brunch after I’d been to Mass. we both enjoyed it.

Off to work today, no doubt another busy day.

Have the best day possible everyone.

A very early, for me, Good Morning from Stockport.
I can’t report about the weather as I am still in bed but at least there is no wind and I can’t hear rain.
It is very dark.
Another duvet day for me yesterday as I still wasn’t well.
I must make an effort today though as Sainsbury’s are due to deliver .
Hope holidaymakers enjoy their time away and poorlies feel some improvement.
Have the best day you can everyone .

Thank you Ashcombe we have never been before, so will be interesting. x

Good morning from dark Leicestershire.

Pilates first thing then NWR this evening. We are discussing street names named after women. Apparently there is a dearth of them all over the world.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Safe travels, NannyJan53 and enjoy your visit!

Good morning from a dark west midlands. Dentist for me today and hopefully meet up with my sister if the roads are clear.

No Matt = Monday.

Good morning everyone from Málaga where it’s just beginning to get light. Not a clue what’s on the cards for today but (a) it will involve less walking - we did a long walk yesterday and (b) Himself will be applying sunscreen to his face and pate. We both forgot yesterday, thinking ‘it’s January’ silly us - you’d think by now we’d know better! Himself looked like a Ribena berry going out last night.
😁

Sun’s up quickly.. it’s going to be another nice day of blue skies and sunshine with temperatures reaching 19°C. It’s my sister’s birthday today I must give her a call later. Funny to think she’s only up the coast from here, nearer to Gibraltar. And it’s my stepfather’s turn to ring me today.

Hope your CT scan gives your surgeon a result that is encouraging for you Mick. Pace yourself today.

Morning all

Mick I hope all goes well with your scan today.

It’s still dark here and rather nippy 2° we have rain forecast. I am off to the gym this morning and an afternoon appointment with the dental hygienist (I am not good with anything dental)

Wishing you all a good day 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning from a dark dull Black Country.

Off to the airport this morning on the train (its wonderful to travel there for free!) . Then the flight to Budapest, where it is going to be just as cold if not colder than here. Back home on Saturday.

Wishing you all a lovely day and week ahead
