Good Morning Sunday 5th March 2023

Good morning all from a very cold and grey North Leicestershire.

Dh and DS1 are going to the football and have put in a request for hot dogs with onions before they go. I plan to sit and work my way through the papers. Marsala chicken when they get back.

Good morning from an overcast but lovely fresh-feeling south Cornwall. Thank you for your kind birthday wishes for my son yesterday. A fun family evening where I played Mario Kart and briefly yearned to be driving a motorbike again.

My eldest son drove us home so the birthday boy could have a beer. I sat in the back listening to them talk about cars, very unusual for them! Apparently I was sitting in a £44,000 car (comes with the job)! It just looked ordinary to me, though with a dashboard like an aeroplane. 'Why is it so expensive?' I asked. He explained that it won't let him crash; if he veers off at all it corrects the direction, and it brakes if he gets too near the car in front. Of course, for Mrs 'I gave up my car so I could live a little more ethically' this was a complete revelation to me.

I notice this morning that my seven-year-old granddaughter has donated her cold to me, the first for a couple of years, but the evening was worth it!

Good morning from s somerset, a similar day ahead to yesterday, still dull and certainly cooler

I got dressed to go to wells and last minute decided that I would not enjoy it, too cold and too dull. Definitely not garden-watching weather nor for browsing as I don`t want to spend money. As fate would have it, the bus I would have come back on, broke down. Lucky decision to stay

My new sink unit arrived after waiting a month. It had bashed around in transit and the front corners were bent. I think I have fixed it, very carefully, no marks after working on it. Bad packaging by franke was the cause. I am nervous now re fitting, I used to rely on dh to do the measurements. I have checked over and over

I need to light my stove sooner today, the cool is settling in and I have brought my prep in for tomato seed sowing but will wait until after next week as I don`t have a greenhouse. 15 days to officially spring and 21 days to clock changes, which I am ready for as I am waking earlier already

Good morning. Cold and dry down South.
Our small church is not open today[open every other Sunday].
Going to read a couple of what is seen as the more minor, Bible books.
Day of rest.

Good morning from chilly Wiltshire.
Plans are underway for new garden fencing, it’s going to look so good I think! By April my back garden should be transformed 👏👏😀
Today is going to be another quiet day, I have to say I really enjoy the opportunity to do little! DDog and I will have an early walk, then a bit of tidying in the garden before I do some sorting out of my craft stash.
I hope you all have a good day too x

Good morning from a cloudy and cold Torbay.

I hope your iPad continues to work for you, grandMattie. There’s never a good time to be without them, is there? I’m glad you are finding recipients for your unwanted furniture, etc.

My first solo food shopping trip went well with no apparent shortages of fruit or vegetables. I bought a couple of croissants (his choice) and a drink for a poor man sleeping rough outside Lidl. The cashier told me he’d recently asked another customer for sushi. (Not sure this smaller branch sells it…..but I haven’t ever looked!)

Church this morning then a day to hibernate, I think! Take care and keep warm, especially you, Mick. 🦩🥰✝️💐🦩

Good morning from an overcast E Kent.

Church first thing today, the start packing for my trip to Bo’ness tomorrow early; the weather promises to be subzero mist of the time I’ll be there.. I’m have a dog walk with my friend as well. A million things to still check and sort out.

For those interested, I have been in contact with the Salvation Army, Emmaus and the local hospice, to give nearly all of my furniture and worldly goods.

I went into Canterbury yesterday to either buy a new iPad or change the battery. One can’t just have a change of battery; the iPad has to be booked in, sent to the Apple factory for the battery change and this takes 3-5 working days! My battery “isn’t flat enough” for a change. The chap was very sweet and helpful, saying that my device was still very valid, so didn’t need a new one.

I hope everyone has a good, peaceful Sunday with real and metaphorical rays of sunshine ☀️. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩❤️
