Good Morning Saturday 18th February 2023

Happy birthday Kalu have a lovely day x

Good morning from a sunny NE where we have gale force winds again after heavy overnight rain.
Yesterday was awful with the wheelie bins blowing about, even though my bin was full it still blew over several times.
Expecting a delivery this morning and then DS and family will visit and probably my sister and BIL.
Good luck with the flat purchase grandMattie, when we sold ours in the Lakes it took a year and there were no chains either side, so much paperwork going back and forth from the solicitors, a real headache.
Have a good day everyone.

Happy birthday Kalu . Have a lovely day 💐.

I’ll be 73 I. July. 1950 was a good year! 👍

Good morning all. We woke a little while ago to sun…lovely. Apart from the daily morning dog walk no much planned but we will probably return to Lidl later to get a few more bottles of the Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire region we bought yesterday.

We’ve found in the past that wines from there we have enjoyed are not there when we decide to buy some more weeks or months later.

Hope today is a good one for everyone.

Good morning from a grey S Hampshire. Happy Birthday Kalu 🎂🎉🎈enjoy your day. A happy birthday to people’s grandchildren too, have fun with them.
No plans today, other than the paper and I’ve still not decided what we’re eating tonight, a freezer hunt maybe.
You’re having an horrendous time Megs my thoughts are with you 💐.

Happy birthday, Kalu! 🎂🎁🎈🎉
1950 is certainly a good vintage, DH is 73 in June.

Enjoy your day with your family.

Good morning everyone from a grey and overcast Northampton. Light showers forecast this morning.

Should clear up by the afternoon, which is lucky as I am off to Premiership rugby again; we are playing Sale Sharks today, who are having a very good season, so fingers crossed. My lovely neighbour also goes so he has offered me a lift there and back. And I shall meet DD and her husband there, who have seats next to me. Shall have a glass of red wine in hand! Those who watch (it's on tv) I sit behind the South stand goalposts!

At lunchtime I have a man coming to inspect the roof, as I heard squirrels trying to get into the loft again yesterday. The pesky critters are dislodging the mortar in their efforts to get in, so hope the roofer can make it secure. Can't do more than that.

Hope that your flat purchase goes through ok grandMattie.

Have a good Saturday everyone.

Good morning from a grey, breezy Colchester. No rain in the forecast but that'll soon change as I've just put a load of washing on the line 😂
DS came home last night with muddy uniform that needs to be clean and dry by tomorrow night. Mum to the rescue.
DH is taking DGS1 fishing today, DS will catch up on sleep and I will be laundrying and food shopping again!
We took the top off of a sick looking crabapple tree yesterday and I think a bird box or food table would be good on the remaining bit of trunk. DH wants to get it removed completely.
Love to all🦩x

Good Morning from S Yorks.

Was in bed tired most of yesterday after an early complex delivery so today I hope to get out to the gym.

Hoping for the best Gmattie and that made me smile about the curtains Ladyleftfieldlover

Have good days with family and outings and best days possible for poorlies.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a breezy bright Hull.

Happy birthday to your DGC Grandmabatty and Susan. Hope your niece’s new baby is out of NICU soon.
Happy birthday to you too Kalu💐

NannyJan best wishes for your DHs eye procedure.

We have our DD and GDs coming over later and baby B will stay with us while GD1 goes with her Mum to the theatre see a ballet.
We are picking up friends at tea time to go out to our other friend’s 60th birthday meal. He’s the 2nd in our group to turn 60.
We have bought him a large new suitcase so we need to tart it up with ribbons and bows. My friend is coming over with the gift tags she’s made so I’ll leave it her I think.

Have a lovely Saturday with family and friend gatherings and hoping those feeling poorly or sad find something in the day to make them smile. 🌻🌻

Morning from S Lanarkshire, it’s been wet and doesn’t seem promising. I admire the ‘whatever the weather’ walk Momb, I am so weak. Maybe it helps when there are two of you, my sister and her DH do the same.

Happy Birthday Kalu sounds like a perfect day👏🎂.

Have no plans for the weekend so have lots of ‘in home’ plans, hmm, we shall see!

Hope your day works out as you hope Mick and you catch up with friends.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🦩

Good morning all. Well, there's a yellow warning for snow and ice out for Angus - but look what I've found. My first daffodil has opened its lovely little trumpet with a clarion call of Spring! It does lift my spirits and I sort of feel I need that this morning for some reason. Actually it looks lovely (if cold) out with the sun shining in a blue sky over the sea and hills.
Sorry you're feeling a bit wobbly Mick - I hope it soon passes. A stick probably would be a good idea, but I understand your reluctance. Safe journey back to Kent grandmattie, and fingers crossed. All will be well.
Happy Birthday Kalu - have a lovely day.
I'm not sure what I shall get up to - not a lot probably - just stay home and cosy I think, and potter. Cullen skink for lunch and mince and tatties later sounds like a plan.
Enjoy your days everyone x

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Happy Birthday Kalu 🎁🍾🎂

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny South Yorkshire. I have a feeling it will be a mild day. Take it easy today Mick; let’s get you over those wobbles.
I spent a very nice afternoon with my niece yesterday and her lovely little dog. Every time I see it, I am tempted to get a dog. I called in at Lidl and bought some lovely polyanthus - a pack of ten for just over three pounds. I don’t care for them - they’re a bit ‘in yer face’, but DH did and planted them in a trough by the front door every year with tete a tete daffodils. I like to do things that keep us connected.
Nothing much planned for today but to clean the kitchen and put some petrol in the car.
Have the best day you can folks.

Happy Birthday Kalu indeed time with family is the best present!

Happy Birthday Kalu! Have a super day!🎂💐

Good morning from South Lanarkshire where we are currently between showers.

We had eldest GC staying overnight on Thursday. DH collected her in the morning after which they walked around the West End taking in the Botanic Gardens before having lunch in our favourite wee place. I was sorry to miss out.
She and I had our nails done yesterday then spent some time on a latch hook kit until it was time to take her home as she was going to watch a rugby match with her Dad. They have season tickets for their Glasgow team, the weather was awful though, rather them than me.

I’ve an appointment today to have my hair cut then we’re back to DD’s to babysit this evening.

No work for two weeks, I’m so looking forward to the break.

Have the best possible day everyone, especially those who are not in the best of health or are coping with sadness or worries.

Oh and Happy Birthday Kalu, you wear it well! 🎉🎂

Happy birthday Kalu.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday Kalu 🎂🎉🎉

Greyduster I too like to do things to keep us connected 💞

Good morning from the Boggy Brae. Sun's out, lane is a mud bath, birds singing away – almost spring! There is a bullfinch, no, two bullfinches, in the bullace tree I can see from where I'm sitting. They love the just opening buds.

Had a sob yesterday because BrainTumourDD had not sent any news about GS2's birthday and I worried that she felt too ill. I don't want to pester her with enquiries. This morning she had responded to a Whatsapp post from Minibaggs who has been preparing a vegan birthday feast and a Harry Potter film marathon for her lovely bf. He wasn't allowed to read the HP stories as a child but he's well into them now. I reckon it was the Harry Potter books and films that kept Minibaggs sane (just!) through high school. I remember reading the first one after one of my nephews, then aged eleven (now in his thirties), lent me his copy.

Today I'm going to try and finish my artichoke painting. I'm following a tutorial very slowly. Learning a lot. I'll also continue with my sock knitting – amazing how fast it grows now I've challenged myself to knit at least a round a day. An apple and banana cake might be made....

Wishing good days to all.

Happy Birthday, Kalu! 😘

And the sun has now arrived along with all of your birthday wishes GM friends. Thank you everyone

Gingster and MrMD….obviously a good year - 1950. 😄

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent.
Happy Birthday Kalu
Take it easy Mick
It seems to be turning into a washing day today and I need to keep busy as DD2, SIL and DGC are driving from Scotland to Kent today.
All the best for today.
