Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is up in South Yorkshire, and it’s bloomin’ cold. Last week’s mild temps lulled us into a false sense of security. I may regret having my hair cut so short but feel a lot better for it. It was lovely to catch up with my hairdresser again. I have house stuff to do today but if the frost clears I may have a walk later.
Have the best day you can folks!

A late good morning from a frosty and sunny Suffolk. I have a day of reading papers for an all day meeting tomorrow of which I am an independent member. This is a monthly event and I can use my previous professional knowledge and experience. Helps to keep those grey cells in working order,hopefully.

Another cuppa,breakfast and dog walk first. Hope today is a peaceful one for all.

Good morning Mick and all from a bright, frosty but sunny south Hants. Am late to this party (it’s getting to be a habit!) but have been busy - am making the most of this burst of energy whilst I have it! 😂
Big lump of beef in the crockpot… I’ll slice up and freeze in gravy later and should be enough for four or five dinners😋
Never got out sofa hunting yesterday so will hopefully do that today. DH caught a few grayling yesterday when fishing - he always puts them back - so he was well pleased.
Not read the posts yet so will settle down with my well earned coffee and read them now.
Have a lovely day everyone. Thinking of those that are poorly 🦩🦩
🤗 and 🌻🌻 for you all x

Good morning from a sunny Angus coast where it's 7°C (my weather app says so fancythat). Can't work out whether the cloud is building, clearing or merely passing by, but it's a bonny day. And that sun/moon fix was still in evidence as the sun rose.
I took myself for a lovely walk at my favourite beach yesterday. There are three to choose from, but this one is least accessible and therefore emptier. There's a board walk up to the top of the dunes and then a long sandy slither down to the beach. That's fine - it's the long sandy slither UP from the beach which is the hard bit! I have frequent stops 'to admire the view' I can tell you! It was just so lovely to be out there - the wind was "bracing" and the cloud had taken over the sky, but I loved every minute of it! So much so that I slept all afternoon, and then all night as well.
Not sure what I shall get up to today - probably just attending to notalot, which is very demanding of my time!
Have a good day everyone x

Good morning Mick and everyone from Hull. It’s beautiful out and no frost today.
I’ve just had mum on the phone in a panic saying she’s updated her I phone and she can’t do a thing with it now and daren’t press anything as she thinks it’s a scam so I need to go over and help her. Just when I’m still in my jamas enjoying my cuppa.
I bought a large bunch of Tulips and a few bunches of daffs the other day. I mixed them in one vase and the leaves on the tulips have gone limp and tatty but the tulips on their own are still beautiful looking. I wonder why.

BlueSapphire I really hope you find your necklace 🤞

Happy birthday to your DH NannyJan enjoy your celebrations 🍰

Hope all medical appointments go well today. Thoughts to those struggling with stress and illness.
Hoping Tuesday brings you all a moment of joy🌻🌻

Happy birthday to MrJ 🎂🍺

Good morning from a bright chilly Co Armagh .
Shaza don’t mix daffodils in with other flowers , until you let the daffodils sit in a separate vase for 24 hours first , get the tulips out of that vase and. Into fresh water , that might revive them

grandMattie Tue 07-Feb-23 09:51:47

Never, ever, mix dates and tulips, Shazza. One of them exudes something poisonous into the water which kills the other…

Jaxjacky Tue 07-Feb-23 09:54:02

Happy Birthday MrNannyJan 🎂🎉 enjoy your day.

dragonfly46 Tue 07-Feb-23 09:59:32

Beat me to it GrandMattie. Having lived in the Netherlands it was drilled into me that you should never mix daffodils and tulips!

Urmstongran Tue 07-Feb-23 10:12:02

My late mum told me that. She used to work in a florist shop before I was born. At present I have a vase with tulips in and a jug of daffs. Both look beautiful.

Wishing MrJ a Happy Birthday 🍺🎂🎉

ShazzaKanazza Tue 07-Feb-23 10:26:55

Thankyou ladies I will separate them. X
My mum texted me to say ‘as you can see I’ve sorted my phone’ . She’s very suspicious and I’m glad she is. She said I didn’t need to go over but it will be nice to pop over for a cuppa with her anyway so off I go.

Good morning from Glasgow. I haven’t looked at the weather app. but it is dry and quite bright although it looks like we may be in for a drizzly day.

DH did the Waitrose shop yesterday and returned with bunches of daffs, still tightly closed they are still a welcoming sight.
Not much on today, collect a script and I may catch up on Happy Valley which I have just started to watch.

Best wishes to all for a good day. 🌼

Good morning Mick and all from a bright northwest coast.
The recital I went to in town yesterday was a let down, dull programme and playing, but a big turn out.
Compensated for that by buying a pink jacket and trousers from M&S.
Long FaceTime with sister in south last night, always lots to talk about,
To music club soon, songs prepared and wayward tooth just about under control.
Hope you all have the best day you can.

Good morning all from Stockport.
Late to the party again.
I have bad nights and so late mornings and have to do jobs before I look at GN or nothing would get done.
Iam having coffee in the conservatory.
It is east facing so on beautiful mornings like today it gets really warm until about 2pm so I love to sit in for a few hours.
Not much to report, I haven’t been through the door since Saturday when I went for a meal with my GD.
She is having elective surgery tomorrow, one night in hospital then 2 weeks recovery and I shall have her company for that time.
I suspect I shall be busy, I think she will milk it.😉
Have the best day you can everyone.

Good afternoon,

I’ve just been out for a short walk and it’s gorgeous outside - not as cold as yesterday, no breeze, just blue sky and sunshine. It was frosty earlier, but that has melted. The birds are singing, the plants are starting to waken up, it’s lovely.

Popping out again shortly for some lunch, we thought we’d treat ourselves and it will save me cooking later. It’s a place local to us and they do a lovely carvery, all home cooked. Very tasty and very good value.

I haven’t read all the posts, but hope you are all ok.
