Good Morning Sunday 5th March 2023

I’m even later GG13! It’s cool and dry here in Lancashire, some high grey cloud and the sun is just breaking through. Bacon rolls for brunch, a walk around the marina and a lazy afternoon listening to the radio.

Happy Sunday to all 🦩🦩🦩

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday 🙋‍♀️🦩

Wishing grandmachristy a very Happy Birthday! 🎉💐🥂

Good morning from a bright cold breezy Co Armagh
My miniature cherry trees are full of blossom , so cheery to look at , I hope it survives the cold weather forecast

Good morning from a cold West York's,nothing planned for today ,happy birthday grandmachrisy🎂.Chinese for tea .Hope everyone sees a bit of sunshine.

Morning all from a slightly chilly, but dry West Oxfordshire. We’ve just waved goodbye to elder son and granddaughter who are on their way back to London. We had a lovely time with them. I seem to be full of cold this morning and have a weird spot on my eyelid. I should be going to church but don’t want to inflict my cold germs on everyone! I think today might be a quiet day. Lots of newspapers to read. Not sure about Sunday lunch. We’ve been eaten out of house and home but there may be some Guinea fowl left which I could transform into something. Have a good day and especially MaryD with your vertigo. I’ve only had it once and couldn’t get out of bed.

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
Off to my late DHs church to say goodbye and take a gift to one of his old friends dating back to boarding school, a retired vicar who is relocating south to be with family. I need something to get me out of the house after a down day yesterday.

Still faffing around with my new smart tv and no subtitles for a prime Amazon film last night with the actors’ broad Scottish accents. Throw in tinnitus and it could have been in double Dutch.
Happy birthday Grandmachrisy, hope you have a good trip GMattie and thoughts to anyone with worries.

Good morning all from another dull day in the Black country.
Haven't read through yet tablet been charging already 47 posts.
No plans will continue reading my book, roast beef for dinner.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed. Take care all and enjoy your Sunday and may you all find some ☀️.

Grey and cold here so after church will hunker down with the paper and a good book. Sorry that several regular posters are not well and hope tomorrow is better. It’s exhausting to feel unable to do the things we want, especially when the garden is calling, but one of the facts of older life is learning how hard to push ourselves.

Gloomy day yet again in S Yorks.

Quakers today followed by a ? maybe gym. I never do much, just an easy stretch out routine and natters always to be had.

Happy Birthday Grandmachrisy

BlueSapphire very sorry to hear about your sis. and family not being close, it makes one think about future plans!

Have a good physio Greyduster and bests for tomorrow Urms.

My lap top won’t last me long so ££££ ahead but I have an old back up which is fine for the internet, I can’t imagine being without one GMattie

I hope that infection clears quickly Ekwa, TV gets sorted and car damage is minimal, not a good day for you 💐

Happy Birthday Grandmachrisy
Marydoll sorry to read you had a rotten day, I hope today is better.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. Unusually I am up early enough to post before going to Church.
Cold and getting colder her in our bit of Berks.
Roast pork on the menu here, seems to be popular today.
I should have tried getting into the garden yesterday, as it is looking a bit sad, but after shopping, I went back to knitting the button band for my cardigan. It was one of those where you pick up all the stitches on a circular needle (450). Never done it before, and probably never again.
Karmalady, surely you should have reported the damaged sink, and not tried to fix it yourself.
Sorry to hear that you are still so unwell Marydoll. Have a quiet day and enjoy your Korean? soaps.
Glad to know that you appear to have found new homes for your excess furniture GrandMattie.
Better go and get washed and dressed before I make us late.
Have a good day one and all.

Happy Birthday Grandmachrisy 🎂💐

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is cloudy but dry. Had a long chat on the phone with DS yesterday afternoon. He was in his garage working on a thumb stick he is making for a charity auction. I’m looking forward to seeing it. The one he made for me has been much admired. I have a physio appointment for my hip this afternoon. The exercises they gave me last time have been very beneficial. Other than that, not much going on here today. Lamb chops (I lurrve lamb chops😋 even if you do have to take out a second mortgage to buy them!) for tea with roast potatoes and veg. Have the best Sunday you can folks.

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey Carlisle.
Yesterday was a day I should have stayed in bed with the duvet over my head! A kidney infection, a minor prang with my car and finally I gave in to the former and had to get an appointment at the walk-in clinic at the hospital where I got prescribed antibiotics. Let's hope they kick in before I'm off on my hols. On top of that, my supposedly smart tv has stopped connecting to the internet and my endeavours have not succeeded in making it do so. It will have to wait.
Today, lots of little jobs to do at a careful pace.

Happy birthday to you Grandmachrisy, I hope it's a good one.
And also hoping it's a better day for you Marydoll. How very frustrating and unpleasant for you.

The best possible day to you all.

PS Marydoll just seen your post. What a miserable day you had. Sending wishes and prayers for a better day for you today. 💐

Good morning all from another sunny, chilly day in Glasgow, almost spring like, it is a welcoming start to the day.

No plans, just a short walk for us at some point and F1 to enjoy later.

Happy Birthday Grandmachrisy 🎉

Have a pleasant day all.

Morning from S Lanarkshire where I can see blue sky.

Sorry you had another rotten day Marydoll

Happy birthday Grandmachrisy March seems to be a busy month for them! Last year mine fell on a Glesca grannies get together and this year will just miss it by a day.

Today is a big birthday for our family too, DGD2 is 18 and this afternoon we’re having a gathering for family and friends at their farm.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone together, it’s so rare these days with everyone’s busy lives.

I’ll be thinking about you and your DH tomorrow Urms.

Enjoy your trip to Scotland grandMattie, I hope it refreshes you during this stressful time.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday🦩

Good morning from a grey NE where it remains damp.
DS and DIL came for dinner last night after the matinee performance at my city centre. A very rare occasion for neither GD to visit. Eldest was doing college homework and younger GD was working backstage at a theatre in Durham for her school musical production.
DD has caught covid again and is quite ill, second time in four months despite being fully vaccinated. SIL is going to join her in Brussels on Friday, he has asthma and has so far avoided infection so is a little anxious.
Today should be an easy day, some TV and the crossword.
Happy Birthday Grandmachrisy enjoy your day.

Good morning all from dry but chilly Harrogate
Happy birthday Grandmachrisy!
Yesterday had quite a busy afternoon looking after DGS who was intent on playing with bubbles all round the house. He was kicking ⚽️ thought he was going to break all sorts - he might have Down syndrome but he is still a 9year old boy! Pity it was too cold to be outside. Today I shall be going to church then putting all the books and toys away this afternoon. Then rest!
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a grey skies Colchester. DH is cooking breakfast, a rare occurrence.
We have roast pork this evening. I shall probably spend most of the day with a full belly.
DH will be putting a lock on his new shed doors and I will be keeping out of the way!

Happy Birthday Grandmachrisy and love to all 🦩 x

Good morning everyone from a chilly looking Northampton, 3° outside at the moment. Showers forecast later, but I am hoping to get out and sweep up some leaves from the slate borders. I managed to get out yesterday and prune the roses and tidy up a few other shrubs, but there is still much to be done, and the garden looks a mess. Something is digging large holes in the lawn

Spoke to my two younger sisters on the phone yesterday; the elder of the two (who lives alone) had had yet another fall, and the paramedics have had to be called out again. I also fear she has the beginnings of dementia. Apparently she is being advised to go into respite care for a few weeks so she can be looked after and have a complete rest, and also have one of those emergency call things round her neck. A stair lift is also being proposed. Her falls are becoming more.frequent which is worrying. She also lives very far from any family.

No real plans for today, apart from a bit of time in the garden, read the papers and watch tv. A new pie from M&S to try for dinner tonight, chicken tikka flavour. Looking forward to that.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s dry but damp out and seems cold. Brr! Roast pork and stuffing dinner for my stepfather today which is his favourite. A slightly earlier meet up as Himself wants to watch Man. Utd -v- Liverpool at 4:30pm. It’s the start too of the F1 racing season this afternoon but he’ll miss that and catch up with the highlights tonight. I shall be looking for something on Netflix!
😊

Good morning all from "same again" weather on the Angus coast. Mind you, it does feel colder. Lots of quiet days to come on here this morning - I expect we're all preparing for what the weather is expected to throw at us this coming week. A quiet day here too with nothing planned except lamb and roast veg for Sunday lunch. DD and New Man spent yesterday in the Lake District and have now bagged 60 Wainwrights. Their photos are beautiful and some of the views are spectacular. I love looking at them from the warmth and comfort if my armchair 😉😁
Happy Birthday Geandmachrisy. And so sorry you had a bad day yesterday Marydoll.
Have a good day everyone and stay cosy x
