Good Morning Saturday 25th March 2023

Good morning from S Lanarkshire, raining for a change.

Enjoy your visit baubles, I visited there many years ago, there was a framed letter which made me smile, I wonder if it’s still there!

I’ll miss Urms daily posts, if you’re reading, take care and come back soon.

10 year old DGD staying this weekend, we’re going to see the local youth music group perform The School of Rock this afternoon, I hope she enjoys it. I’ll stop writing now because in spite of repeated requests, she won’t/can’t stop talking!
It’s a joy having her, off to have breakfast and then make ice cream.

Wishing everyone a good weekend, so glad your DD is home Gingster, may everything go well. 🦩

Gingster what wonderful, touching news.

Good morning all from showery Harrogate
Glad you are feeling better Mick.
I’m so happy your DD is home Gingster what a surprise for your DGD. Safe travels Ash. Did go to the tenement house long time ago,very interesting. Coupled with a visit to the people’s palace and a narrative on living in a single end.
So sorry about your friend, it must have been hard being with her to the end Grandmabatty.
Glad you made it back Marydoll and that you enjoyed your holiday!
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a damp NE where it does not seem quite so windy.
Sister and BIL will visit this afternoon followed by DS and family.
DS sent a message to say that GD2 had been awarded a music exhibition at school, monetary value is only a tiny percentage of the school fees but it is the recognition of her piano playing that we welcome. Exhibition students get to play in concerts several times a year too.
Good news Gingster that your DD is home.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another bright and breezy day no doubt with associated showers later.
So pleased your DD is home Ginster. Love the blossom pics. We are a little behind “up north”!
I need to pop to town for a gift for my cousin. She’s 80 on Monday and is having a party tomorrow at a restaurant up in the dales.
Other than that a quiet day for me.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a brighter start than expected on the Angus coast - looks like another typical March day.
Welcome home to gingster's DD - that welcome for her from her little DD was so touching.
Oh I do have Spring envy! What beautiful photos of all the blossom. Thank you. I had a wander round my garden yesterday. I have my host of daffodils now, and periwinkles are blooming in abundance - but the buds on the trees are as tightly closed as ever and the rhododendron are showing little inclination to open yet. Oh well, Spring will arrive when it's ready.
Bluebalou enjoy your seaside holiday. And I hope the weather behaves for you. Take lots of layers!
Yesterday I achieved the sum total of notalot. I felt so sluggish all day and after a good night's sleep I still dosed the afternoon away. Brighter today though so the house had better be ready for an onslaught!
I hope all feeling poorly or in pain - corner - have a better day and that Marydoll feels better for her Highland escape.
Have the best day everyone x

Wonderful news Ginster

Wonderful news, Gingster! 🫂🫂🫂🫂

Good morning.
A local food shop this morning .
DD3 and SIL are away for the weekend and DD2 is looking after the boys. We will be meeting them this afternoon for a visit to the park ( weather permitting).
Wishing you all a good weekend .

Gingster it’s such good news that your daughter is home. I would have cried too seeing them reunited. 💐

Great news, Gingster! You must be so relieved.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where its 6°C.

Good to hear you feel a bit better Mick.

You will be missed Urms, but you must do what is best for you.

I have no plans for today, feeling a bit off.
Yesterday on our return from Pitlochry, I sat down after lunch and woke up two hours later. These sleeping episodes come on out of the blue, with no warning and leave me quite discombobulated to say the least. My clinicians say it is a warning to slow down! I couldn't go any slower!

My best wishes to all, who are poorly.
For those who are out and about enjoy. Baubles, I'm envious of your visit. I've never been there.

Have a good day, whatever your plans.

Gingster so pleased your DD is home 💐

Good morning everyone from a very grey and damp Inverness, hopefully it’ll brighten up later.
Nothing much planned today, I was hoping to get out into the garden but I’m not sure the weather agrees with that
Enjoy your meet up Baubles and enjoy time with your family multicolouredswapshop
Safe travels back home Ash and enjoy your holiday BlueBalou
Hoping your DH enjoys his helicopter flight kitty what a lovely present, even if it’s taken so long to organise!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all and it’s damp here in Essex.

Dd came home yesterday afternoon with a lots of meds and instructions to take it easy . Little gd came in from dance class (we hadn’t told that her mummy was home). She saw her mum and dived into her arms. Omg we were all teary eyed. 🥲.

We’ll take each day as it comes and see how we go.

Enjoy your day , those who can and just relax, those who can’t 🌷

Morning all from a very blustery West Oxfordshire. My Stella magnolia is in bloom and looking beautiful. I too will miss Urms’s posts, even though I didn’t agree with her politics! I sent her a pm. Our daughter is arriving sometime this afternoon and will stay until Monday. She is having brunch first in London with her ex-partner. They split up after seven years together a year or so ago. They still get on well. Have a good weekend everyone.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. It’s windy and raining out.
Our magnolia has about 30 opening buds on it but that’s more than it’s had the last two years or so. I suspect DHs pruning to be to blame.

Yesterday I took mum into town to do some banking for my Uncle and as suspected she didn’t want to go for a cuppa and a bite to eat. Why because she’s got food at home so why buy any. ‘Well Mum because I want to treat you’
Yet again she said ‘why don’t you go across to the bakery and have a sausage roll or something’ yet again I said ‘still can’t mum still coeliac’. It’s been 10 years now🤦 Good job I love her eh. 😂

Have a lovely day everyone and safe travels. Enjoy time with friends and family. 🌻🌻

Good morning from a bright and very windy South Downs. I bet the sea is rough.

Dog quietly nagging by sitting with his nose to the door, so I must get on.

If the wind isn’t too chilly I shall go out into the garden today.

kitty I meant to ask you about your new garden bed - what are you planning to go into it?

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning from s somerset, I intend to sit and read near the window this morning after a very wakeful night. The wind was so loud and so was the rain beating down. We are likely to have a bit of sun here soon and I am going to wallow and do nothing much

That is my day sorted, it will be restful with reading and knitting and some indoor exercise but not a lot, only enough to keep my blood moving

Today I will reap the benefits of my productive week and will no doubt have a nap this afternoon

Good morning all from a bright but showery North Leicestershire.

DH is, at long last, having a helicopter flight over Nottingham Forest's City Ground. He was bought it as a present pre covid and it has taken till now to arrange it.

Have the best day possible all.

Good morning everyone from Severnside. The clouds are moving swiftly and blue sky above.

I’ve just looked down the street and saw the bloom on magnolia trees.

Apart from pegging out and getting back in the washing yesterday I spent the whole day card making. With the sun shining outside as well I felt much better to be doing something useful. I’m sending all the destination US cards together before the postage goes up.

As it was windy I brought my new clematis indoors as it’s looking fragile and I don’t want it to break off. Depending how things go I’d like to spend sometime outside and do some more card making.

How anxious were you Mick about having your operation, maybe that’s why your heart rate was like it was. Anyway enjoy your half 🍺later.

Have a good day all ⏰ 🌼

Good morning all from a dull Black country. This time next week will hopefully be sitting on the tarmac on our way to the Spanish sunshine, it will be younger Dgs first flight and he's informed us he doesn't like heights.
Lots of lovely blossom on here this morning, I do like this time of the year when the gardens are beginning to wake up.
Do hope your assessment goes well GM and safe travels Ash and bluebalou.
It's that time again full English calling so will catch up with everybody's happenings later.
Enjoy your Saturday whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a cloudy, breezy Colchester. The sun is forecast to appear later. Yesterday it was sunny one minute and biblical rain the next. Double figure temperatures though.
Just received an email from my energy company raising standing charges and decreasing unit costs. Why? Because they can!
DS is home for the weekend unexpectedly so we need a trip to Lidl. Otherwise no plans today.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from dull South Lanarkshire. The rain during the night was torrential.

Pleased that your symptoms have settled down Mick.

Beautiful Magnolia Ash.

Have a good trip Bluebalou, sounds like you’re well prepared for a wet week.

I’m meeting a Gnet friend and non Gnet friend today. We’re visiting a NT property in Glasgow, a tenement flat which hasn’t changed in fifty years. I’ve been before but they haven’t so I’m hoping they enjoy it.

Wishing everyone the best possible day.

Good morning from under the duvet. I too got soaked (twice) on a visit to D and family in London yesterday and finally had to borrow a pair of jogging bottoms from my SIL while my trousers hit the tumble dryer.
Thunder and lightning ( very, very frightening) and hailstones like gobstoppers! !
I wanted to see them as they are off to Japan for the whole of GS’s Easter holidays-postponed from over 4 years ago when first of all SIL’s Mum’s Alzheimer’s meant she had to go into a care home, then the pandemic etc. Their tickets run out next month and they would have lost the whole cost of the flights. Lovely time to go but I’ll miss them at Easter.
In her absence Urms has asked me to keep you supplied with our daily Matt, so here he is.
Glad you are feeling more up beat Mick hope the Churchill or JR get to the bottom of the problem. In the meantime, keep as fit as you can, walking should get easier as the weather warms up.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.
