Good Morning Tuesday 28th February 2023

Congratulations Gwenisgreat to you & your DH. [

Thank you for your good wishes.

Good morning everyone from sunny (at the moment) Lancashire. Once again I’m running late, I didn’t manage to post yesterday. Had my 6 month dentist and hygienist appointments yesterday, all good, no treatment needed. Hope everyone is well, I will read the thread later.

Wishing the Gwens a Happy Anniversary 💐🥂

Morning all from a grey S Yorks.
Well Greyduster the forecast sent good…but an outing for a bit of High Peak splendour not one to let go easily.
hulahoop all the best for DS.
*GMattie its must be quite common, the not knowing when you’re moving. I wonder how everyone gets round this?
Have a lovely day Gwen

Loved reading all your days: I overdid it rather yesterday so its a home day with a counselling Zoom at 1pm so top half must look presentable.

But I did make a start on family presents, for all 6 of them have birthdays within a 6 week window. DiL is very good at suitable tip offs - children change tastes so rapidly. so a dinosaur lamp and jumper ordered as a start. The difficult one to buy fr is L with many disabilities including almost no sight, so needs extra thought. she’s off school today. They have closed it for a day, as you cant run a special school with less than full staff. Glad they accommodated your family Shazza

I would love just once to see the Northern Lights, been impossibly overcast for some time here.

Happy Anniversary Gwen.

So pleased your DD is seeing someone at last Gingster. She is often in my thoughts.

Happy Anniversary Gwen - enjoy your day🥂💐

Good morning from a dull cold Co Armagh
Nothing much happening today
I made a big pot of veg soup yesterday in the pressure cooker , I will freeze it in portion sized containers today , then continue my crochet
Thoughts are with the sad and poorly xxx

Gwen Happy Anniversary to you both and hope you have a lovely meal out. 🎉🥂
When I picked up GS yesterday from school I asked his teacher if he was in today and she said they are sending e mails out in the morning at 8. I said well that’s no good to anybody is it. She said quietly my GS would be ok. He is SEN and needs his routine.

Bright but cold here on the south coast without frost today. It’s deceptive as it looks nice but it is so cold! A quieter day here with phone calls to BT to renew our contract and, hopefully, get a cheaper package. Possibly weed a few borders if the sun warms up.
I hope you pace yourself GrandMattie as you have a lot going on. We moved last year, so much to sort out and get rid of. I would find it hard to go through again very soon.

A good day to one and all.

Matt.

My head is elsewhere this morning.

Oh hulahoop, that sounds nasty. I hope your son isn’t too badly injured.

Happy Anniversary Gwenisgreat enjoy your meal out 🥂
That sounds nasty hulahoop I hope for a swift recovery 🤞

hulahoop so sorry to hear about your son. No wonder sleep escaped you! for his speedy recovery.

Good morning all from damp and drizzly South Lanarkshire.

Have a lovely family gathering GG.

Happy Anniversary Gwen and MrGwen. Enjoy your meal this evening.

Dentist this morning for a check up then this afternoon I’m meeting a Gransnet friend for coffee which I’m looking forward to.

I’m another who has never seen the Aurora despite living in Scotland. Sadly it was too cloudy last night.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all. There's a welcome glimpse of blue sky overhead on the Angus coast. I'll not mention the surrounding rain clouds!
Nothing at all to mention from here. No aurora because of thick cloud. DGD3 is still talking about it though - it certainly made a lasting impression on her.
I felt very much under the weather yesterday and just dozed on and off all day, so hopefully today my mojo will have returned. There's washing in the machine ready to be pegged out, and I need to pop down into town for milk and bread - such exciting doings!
Glad you've got your trip to Harrogate to look forward to Mick - a change is as good as a rest, so they say. Grandmattie, all I can say is Phew! You are some efficient whirlwind - my admiration knows no bounds.
Loving hearing about everyone's dancing DGD's. Mine was born dancing and when she was little (and not so little) couldn't walk across a room without throwing in a pirouette! She's now following her dream and enters her degree year at college next year, studying dance. Wonderful to see. I do wonder where it will take her .......
Have a lovely day everyone x

Hope your son is ok hulahoop.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
My visit to the dentist yesterday went well as the dentist said he would leave the back tooth that had troubled me alone. After the antibiotics, it’s no trouble now. Even so, I worked myself up a bit thinking he might do more.

Off to music club this afternoon, I’m not on the desk, but singing and have my Spanish shawl and rose for hair for Carmen😁. I’m still helping setting up and clearing away though.
You will really enjoy your Harrogate break Mick after all this medical stuff.
Happy anniversary Gwenisgreat1 and thoughts to anyone with worries.

Good morning from a drizzly West York's. We have two of our grandchildren here today. I hadn't slept much following phone call from son he was in a accident at work, melton plastic hit him in face and back pictures not good but hopefully face burns don't look too deep some on back a lot deeper .

Gingster….I’m not driving so I’m not sure where we are going! I’d assumed the meeting was in the cinema! I’ll let you know when I’ve been and get home.

Good morning Mick and everyone from gloomy wet Carlisle where it just might brighten up.
I'll get through some housework this morning then need to book a hotel in London for each end of a holiday trip later in the summer. They, the hotels, are getting expensive!
No lights here, too cloudy. I've never seen them in this country. DH and I once spent a week above the Arctic Circle over the spring equinox when the sun was supposed to be very active. Nothing except a brief silvery sparkle one night. A few years later I did it solo over Christmas and we had beautiful displays several nights running. I have say they are more muted when seen by the naked eye, photographs are more vivid.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning all from bright but cloudy Harrogate
I did not see the northern lights either, just the clouds had an eerie glow!
Today we celebrate our 53rd wedding anniversary. Not sure how I’ve survived!! We are going out for a meal tonight.
Today, don’t know what’s happening- the DGCs schools don’t let anyone know when they are on strike and have lost my sympathy. We are available if necessary otherwise will go out for a run in the car.
Have the best day possible folks

Liberty - you’ll be up the road from our cottage by the sea. Is the arts meeting being held in the theatre?

Happy birthday to your son GrannyGravy 🎂🎉

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a damp drizzly Hull.

Gingster I’m so pleased your DD managed to see and speak to someone at last 💐

I have had my sister visiting from Canterbury for a couple of days it’s been busy with family coming here to see her so lots of chat. She was very taken with our Granddaughters and grandson. Our Grandson mostly ignores everyone until he really knows them but he kept glancing over at her and she engages with him so he’s very comfortable with her being here.

Thankfully my GS can go into school today so just picking him up later as usual. Looking after the GDs as is usual on a Tuesday evening. We are going to come home via country and up high there are far reaching views so possibly a view of the Aurora 🤞 it’s clear.

Have a lovely day everyone and thoughts to those with worries and illness 🌻🌻
