Good Morning Wednesday 18th January 2023

Morning all from an icy cold and frosty West Oxfordshire. I am up at the crack of dawn, even before the heating comes on! I am waiting for a parcel which may come as early as 7.40 am. I have been reading about the Bishops not wanting to discuss gay marriage in church. Dismaying. Anyway, our gardener is coming at lunchtime to finish pruning our roses. It is WI tonight so I must sort out the admin. We have at least two new members coming tonight, but sadly one of long time members died this week. Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cold, frosty corner of Somerset.

All clear at the dentist yesterday, very pleasant young woman, hope she will stay. Meter main failed, apparently no more can be done. Routine today, grocery delivery and dust removal.

Safe trip ash and all on the move. Be careful out there. Thinking of all with health worries of any kind

Hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from North Leicestershire where we appear to have had snow overnight. Alexa tells me that the temperature is 0°.

DH is up early to get on the phone to the gp. He has a really bad back and is concerned that it is something sinister rather than just a bad back. He has also lost weight! He has, coincidentally, upped his sessions at the gym.

I have an appointment at the surgery for a blood test and then have an M&S collection.

The really exciting thing is that it is Bertie's 11th birthday so we will be popping in with his present and hoping for a huge cuddle in return.

Good morning from Shropshire.A light covering of snow but forecast for sunshine from 10am.

I have an opticians appointment this morning.I will be glad to go and find out what is causing my blurred vision although I am quite worried as to the cause.

The opticians is in a nearby town with a lot more shops than where we are and also bigger supermarkets so we will take the opportunity to do some shopping.

Safe travels Ash and olddudders.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from Sefton where it’s 4 degrees and wet underfoot.
Like Mick I need to collect a prescription. At the nail bar I plan to choose a more subtle shade whilst catching up with the lovely Becky’s adventures in Florida. Our DGC will be here later; we’re expecting to look after them when their teachers go on strike.
Whatever you intend to do, have the best day possible.

Good morning from a snowy Torbay! A rare event but we’ve had a covering overnight.

We are due to set off for Portsmouth today for an overnight stay before catching the morning ferry to Ouistreham. It’s five months since I last stayed at DH's home. It was disappointing that, due to my need to recover in this country, we weren’t able to be there for Christmas.

I hope everyone stays well and warm. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning, a very cold frosty start here in Wiltshire, peeping out of the window I can see that the cars are white and sparkling in the streetlights.
Today I have a Zoom art tutorial, I need to set up my laptop, might take a while as I’m not tech-savvy!
I had a lovely meandering walk with DDog yesterday morning, I might take her to the village this morning in the car and go somewhere different.
I gave the kitchen a good tidying yesterday, very satisfying 😄
I hope today goes well for you all x

Good morning from a cold -3c South Downs.

Today we have men arriving in hazmat suits to remove a ceiling with asbestos in the mix. This will mean that the bedroom will be totally exposed to the roof and freezing until they replace the ceiling and insulation - hopefully tomorrow.

Apart from that I shall continue pottering through my spring clean so that by the time I can get into the garden I will be totally free.

Hope everyone is well - I have a throat and cough but I think so has everyone else if the papers are to be believed!
Roll on spring.

Good morning from a clear, still E Kent. The waning moon still looking lovely.
It was very chilly yesterday, but fortunately, there was little breeze and it was sunny mot of the day.
My lovely decorator m yesterday and spent a couple of hours repainting the lower door frames. They also repainted the radiator and skirting boards “as they had marks”. They really are very kind men too. Chatty and friendly.
A great tai chi session, with coffee afterwards.
Waking up from a nap, I received a surprise phone call from a woman I shared a flat with 50 years ago. We have stayed in touch, rather than being great friends. Everything is catastrophic for her…. She is hard work.
The pc man’s remote repairs seem to be working.🤞
Today, knit and natter. The ladies make blankets, scarves and fingerless gloves for “old” people, which are either given away or sold by Age Concern, where we meet. I just do my own thing…
I hope Marydoll 🌷🌷 is more comfortable today, with all her drugs in hand. May everyone have a contented day. Rest assured that, even if I don’t mention you, I do rejoice with you in happiness or pray for you in misfortune. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
