Good Morning Everyone,
A dark but a dry start here in brackley this morning.
Yesterdays trip to Bicester on the bus did not happen thanks to a accident delaying the bus ,which was caught in tailback traffic as the accident was on the M40 .
I did go by bus to Banbury though,and brought something with my xmas gift cards.
Today unsure yet what to do .
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning from a shivery S Yorks. Overcast, what’s new.
I can’t think of a better place for your memories, Greyduster, beloved also for me, but how come you have the sun just as few miles away from me? That gives me some hope…

My sympathies Susan .

Happy anniversary Cornergran and happy birthday MrSK

I can’t think of a better place for your memories, Greyduster, but how come you have the sun just as few miles away?

“Unforgotton” for me too *Urms

Mc Donalds for chips was a favourite outing with DS. He’d each chip carefully and gaze around peacefully whilst I had once of those rather gross battered apple puddings and coffee.

I have to do a collection of meds and M n S, conveniently close, and I have a Zoom, but yesterday ended up being very full on so plans to read and potter. And do more than just look at my newish treadmill.

Thankyou for your lovely wishes for DH. He is going to walking football though it’s pouring down so it may not happen.
We have a business which he can do as much or as little as he likes so it’s nice as he doesn’t have to rush out in a morning. 🌻

Good morning from another dull dry cold day in Co Armagh
Our seniors club this morning , my walker is in the boot of Daughters car and looks like I’ll have to drag out the battered version that I keep for the garden , I’m sure the dry mud will brush off 🙄

Good morning from a rainy NE where it is 5 degrees.
Yesterday was a relaxed day, after the hairdresser left I spent the day catching up with TV whilst doing crosswords.
SIL is coming to take me shopping but nothing else planned after that.
Enjoy your days out.

Good morning all and it’s chilly again. First day of spring, so we are progressing ! 🌷.

Thanks Marydoll my Dd is seeing her consultant tomorrow 🙏

Dh might go fishing today if it’s not too cold and I’ll get some housework done.

Sar the show sounds fab, glad you enjoyed it. Safe journey home.🤞.
GG your sons birthday celebrations with all the family - how lovely! 🎂.
Happy birthday Mr Shazza - a youngster! 😉.

Hope Urms is feeling brighter. This in-between time is horrid, wondering and worrying. 🙏💐.

Take care everyone and enjoy the day if you can.❤️

Good morning, Michael and all GNs and Happy St David’s Day from South Yorkshire where the sun is out at the moment, but it’s really cold. Despite the weather I drove out to Ladybower yesterday - a pilgrimage, to cast a single red rose onto the water and remember how much DH loved the place we visited so often, to walk, to fish, to stand and stare. He never tired of it. A short walk up the forest road and then on to the fishery office to see how much their prices had gone up for the coming season! I’m really looking forward to getting onto the bank this season. Not until the weather warms up though! Today will be take up with laundry and cleaning.
A very Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Corner! Have a wonderful day!🥂🍾💐
To all, have the best day you can!

Urmstongran Wed 01-Mar-23 08:16:55

And many happy returns of the day to MrShazza who is 10y younger than me. You are both young to be retired! 😊

Urmstongran Wed 01-Mar-23 08:11:42

Happy anniversary to you both Mr&Mrs.Corner! ❤️

ginny Wed 01-Mar-23 08:10:52

Good morning, I think the sun is trying to break through here in N. Bucks.
Had a lovely day yesterday visiting my Brother and Sister in Law. I just wish there was more I could do for them with all the troubles they have.
This morning I am at home and this afternoon it is WI seeing group.
WI meeting tonight and DDs 1 & 2 are coming along as visitors due to their interest in the speakers subject.
Happy celebrations for all the birthdays and anniversaries. Safe journeys to travellers
Wishing a good day for all especially those with illness or other troubles.

Happy St David's Day to all whether or not you are Welsh.

I had my DNA stats updated yesterday by Ancestry but I'm still not Welsh or English

I may make Leek soup. I have already picked daffodils.

Yarn group this morning and the man who has bought my clay mixer is collecting it today.
I'm also on alert to drive DMiL back to the flat she was ignominiously turfed out of a month ago when masonry fell from the top and destroyed the balcony. Hoping you all have a very pleasant day

Happy anniversary to the Corners.
Happy birthday to Mr Shazza.

Urmstongran Wed 01-Mar-23 08:07:02

Here’s Matt.

It’s dry here but looks chilly out. I have a routine dental hygienist at noon then I’m thinking home for a bowl of (not home made) warming soup before we both wrap up and go out for a walk and talk. Being outside lifts the spirits doesn’t it?

Himself has just made me a cuppa. He says he’s looking forward to watching Man. Utd play West Ham tonight on tv. I plan to watch episode 2 of ‘unforgotten’ with the great actress who played the distraught mum in ‘Little Boy Blue’.

Susan56 Wed 01-Mar-23 07:54:14

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus.

Today is my young friends funeral.I will watch online.We had made arrangements to go with friends but I have a cough,not Covid but not fair to subject others to it and have them wondering if it’s Covid.

As it’s Saint David’s day DH will make cawl and Welsh cakes for lunch and a cream,leek and quorn dish for tonight.

He made Welsh cakes to take to DD2 yesterday and will make enough for DD1 today.

Wishing all celebrating a good day🍾🥂

Thinking of Urms and all with worries about family🙏🏻💐

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s grey and cloudy but not too cold

Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Corner 💐💕🥂 and a very Happy Birthday to Mr Shazza 🎂🎉

It’s all go here, DGD stayed over last night, we’re going swimming at the gym this morning followed by a hot chocolate in Costa. An almost exact repeat of yesterdays day with DGS They do like to make sure they’re treated the same , I could have taken both yesterday but much easier with just one at a time. I’ll drop her off home after lunch and then I’m meeting a friend for coffee and a catch up and a sit down.
So pleased to hear the show went well Sar, well done to your DGD and safe travels home
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

monk08 Wed 01-Mar-23 07:38:58

Happy birthday Mr Shazza 🎂🍺 and best wishes to anyone else celebrating, really must go now get ready for playgroup. Catch up later.

Good morning from grey-skied Wiltshire, it’s decidedly gloomy looking out there!
Yesterday I had a lovely catch up with my friend and on the way home I stopped at a little garden centre to get some bags of compost. There were tiny lambs in the fields around it.
The house was very quiet when I got back, DH and DD had left and DDog was sound asleep.
I spent an hour or so tidying up then happily sat and knitted.
I didn’t sleep well so today’s going to be very quiet, I’ll walk DDog shortly, I have an Ocado shop late morning and that’s it.
I hope you’re very wrong about the snow Whitewavemark2 because I’m away then and I hate and avoid driving in snow 🫣

Take care everyone 💐

Happy Anniversary to the Corners flowers

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 3° and cloudy. Marydoll I love solar lights too and have numerous in my garden. Cornergran happy anniversary to you both.
Yesterday, as MD mentioned, I managed to bash my car, turning out of the drive. It's very tight and usually I'm exceptionally careful but not yesterday. I'm very annoyed at myself. Childcare went well. Dgs1 didn't want to go to the park (probably traumatised from our last visit) but we did go to the swings at the end of the street and both boys enjoyed that. I had bought a pop up tent and tunnel and there was riotous play in both. The boys had great fun. So, apart from my stupidity with the car, we had a good day.
Today I'm out fairly early to the opticians for more tests. Then I'll visit my friend. This afternoon I'll be roasting a chicken and making rice pudding at the same time. Have a good day all.

ShazzaKanazza Wed 01-Mar-23 07:35:38

Happy Anniversary to you both Cornergran 💐

NannyJan53 Wed 01-Mar-23 07:35:00

Good morning from a drizzly Black Country.

Lovely afternoon with a friend yesterday, with coffee and scone at a local garden centre. My friend recognised sitting next to us an ex pupil of hers from over 30 years ago! So they chatted for a while.

Out and about again today, take Mum for lunch out.

I totally agree about NHS hearing aids Ashcombe I have had my new ones for a year now, they still have moulds but I can connect to Bluetooth on my I phone so the conversation goes direct to the aids. So hearing about yours it seems technology has increased leaps and bounds since January last year.

Enjoy your day everyone

Happy Anniversary to the Corners 🥂🍾🎂

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a rainy Hull.

grandMattie there will be lots of memories flooding back as you are doing your sorting out to move and discovering hidden treasures.

It’s my DHs 58th birthday today and we are going for a lunch at our local restaurant with some friends. We were supposed to go tonight but I need to be up at stupid o’clock tomorrow so I want to be in bed early tonight. We will celebrate properly at the weekend in London.
We are picking up GS from school later and will probably take him to McDonald’s for a treat though he only eats the fries and despite having a two course lunch neither of us can resist a McDonald’s chip but we will try hard🤦

Have a good day everyone and hope you find lovely reasons to smile 🌻🌼

Marydoll Wed 01-Mar-23 07:30:10

I forgot to say, happy St, David's day to all our Welsh grans. Happy anniversary, Corner, have a lovely day today.

It would have been my dad's 117th birthday today, he came late to fatherhood and was not at ease with it at all. He was a very Victorian type of Father.

Happy Anniversary Corner.
