Good Morning Saturday 1st April 2023

Good morning everyone what’s going on with my posts I keep losing them 🥲

The interview is after the solicitors received the management pack, which in turn took forever to be dealt with. To her credit, my solicitor has been brilliant.
I’m sending a letter asking for a very rapid interview, by zoom or phone! Also pleading homelessness…

Good morning everyone. It’s dry with thick clouds in my corner of Lancashire. We have been out watching the steam trains, back now for a sandwich and a cup of soup. The sun is just peeking out. I need to finish deep cleaning the kitchen this afternoon but could be tempted outside instead

Enjoy your Saturday all.

Late this morning. Visited a friend last evening had some wine, walked home and settled down to watch Pretty Woman, love that film and the soundtrack.
🤞for babydoll. How frustrating GM.
Email to say my second sofa is arriving on Tuesday. After the debacle before Christmas of poor quality sofas from a large, supposedly reputable company I’m so pleased with the quality of the new ones and speed of delivery. Four weeks from choosing, buying to delivery.
Have a good weekend all, hopefully April will bring warmer, drier weather.

Good morning all from Glasgow where it is dry with light cloud for the moment.

We have a new gardener starting today. He sounds knowledgeable so, fingers crossed. Now that the weather is a tad milder, I am enjoying spending time in my She-shed again, listening to music, reading a book and the odd coffee, time to switch off. Bliss. A visit to B&Q today for colour inspiration as I like the idea of painting the inside, thinking a very pale shell pink. Something to keep me occupied at my own pace.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good morning,

It’s yet another grey start to the day, although dry for now after all the rain yesterday afternoon and evening.
Not much on the agenda today. I was hoping to be in the garden a bit but it’s still all so wet, so other than a little bit of general tidying in it, nothing else will be done.

I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning Mick and all from a cold but brightening northwest coast. Talking about colds, I’m full of it. I’d been feeling overly tired and yesterday it hit me. Throat in a vice etc.
Had gone along to art just tired, it was collage and I couldn’t concentrate, produced rubbish, before it really hit me.
Cancelled my friend coming over for a meal and orchestral concert as coughing.
Staying in bed with hot drinks 🙄

What a business grandMattie! Thoughts to all with worries.

Good morning everyone. No prizes for guessing what the weather is doing this morning in West Sussex. Saw on TV that it is the wettest March for 40 years. Certainly feels like it. I had a very pleasant "smash & grab" in M&S yesterday while the puppy was at the groomers. Latest dilemma is - am I too old to wear coloured socks under trousers? Just can't help myself. A random trolly search is a new one on me Marydoll. Does that happen a lot? With weather like this I turn to knitting and jewellery making to pass the time. We are also binge watching every episode of Endeavour.
A peaceful day to all of you.

Good morning all and it’s brightening by the minute here in Essex. 🤞.

I’ve already been supermarket shopping and now enjoying my fresh baguette and coffee. I phoned Dd to see what she needed but she said it’s ok mum I did my shopping yesterday. She’s a trouper that girl of mine ❤️.

Not sure what’s doing today. Hopefully Dh and ds1 will have a footie match to watch but it’s so muddy , will probably be called off. I like an afternoon to myself ! 😉.

GM what an added nuisance for you, so late in the day.😤
Marydoll will they try again to turn babydoll? Is DIL due soon?

Take care all 🌷

Good morning from a dull and dreary Essex by the sea.

Late up this morning as we are both a little under the weather. DH has a nasty chesty cough and slept late.

All this is very unfortunate as DD1 and her 3 girls are coming for dinner tomorrow before their stay in a local hotel and DD2 and her 2 girls are arriving on Monday. I hope we both feel better by tomorrow.

A lazy day today.

GM I cannot believe that this 'interview' has been left til now. What a muddle. I wish you well.

Enjoy the weekend everyone whatever you may get up to. xx

Good morning from a wet Durham. It’s like Groundhog Day here.
Coffee with BF this morning, then home to more admin. It’s that bloody rental house again – how I wish it had sold last year. No viewings despite a knock down price, yet a waiting list to rent it. The Agent blamed the economic state of the area.
💐 Madelaine I lost a good friend last month and still can’t quite believe it.
gM I feel your frustration - cart and horse come to mind?

Best wishes to all for a good weekend. X

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Busy day planned of tidying round before visitors tomorrow, plenty to do!
Ginny glad DD2 got the job, excuse for a celebration.
I hope babydoll turns up soon.
Best wishes to all

Good morning. I’ve missed a couple of day posting but I have been busy.I decided a massive clear out of my craft room was needed. Doing well, two good sized boxes of items to be taken somewhere they can be used. No doubt there will be more.
I have also been trying to get some money that I paid for an event that has been cancelled.
Happy news for DD2 who had a second interview yesterday and got the job.
A very excited FaceTime call from DGS 2 to show us the Easter hat he had made and his school report.
Today we have MIL coming over for dinner( which will be at lunch time). Won’t get much else done.
Happy travels to those on the move and kind thoughts to all.

Good morning from Shropshire.The rain has finally stopped🥳

I am feeling tired after a busier than usual week so hoping for a quiet few days.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s dry at the moment but showers are forecast.
A day at the computer for me. It’s year end so charity accounts, a report on a funding grant and set to work on a photo book of my recent trip to Central America.
The garden needs attention but that can wait for tomorrow when it should be warmer .
GM what a nuisance! I hope you don’t need to make the extra journey.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone and Happy April Fools Day from a dry grey Northampton, rain not forecast till this evening, thank goodness.

Had a pleasant morning at our little retail park yesterday, and somehow came away with another pair of jeans. I need to have a cull.... Also saw a top I really liked that would go with some green trousers I have. Not in my size though, so have ordered it (in two sizes, (to get the best fit).

A late brunch of bacon butty this morning, as I am going to see 'Jersey Boys' at our local theatre this afternoon. Shall call into the bank on the way to pay in my leftover South African currency.

Hope all have a good weekend.

Good morning from a grey and damp NE, yet again.
SIL made it back to the UK but developed D+V as soon as he got home. Fingers crossed he will be well enough to come for his Sunday dinner.
Sister and BIL are away visiting their DD and four GSs so no afternoon drinks this week.
DS and family will visit with a few diversions. GD2 is going to a bowling party and will be dropped off on the way but will need collecting around dinner time. They say she will have eaten but when she sees it is duck for dinner she will probably sit down, she does like her food.
I will give the girls their Easter eggs today as they are going to visit their other GPs next week and will be gone for ten days.
grandMattie I would be having a word with my solicitor about the warden, waiting until completion is really not on.
Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a grey and murky Angus coast. It's not raining at the moment - we have that to look forward to!
Tai chi with the balance clinic yesterday was a great success They were a very appreciative and responsive bunch and there were quite a few of them keen to get up and have a go themselves - two have even signed up for classes.
Afterwards the three of us who did the demo went for a coffee - which we extended to a long leisurely lunch (as you do) - so it was a very satisfying day.
Today I must pop to the next town to visit a friend who has just had an op for a near-detached retina. She is having to spend a week sitting upright with a ten minute walkabout every hour, night and day. She's half way through and ready to climb the wall I think!
Grandmattie that is so annoying - how can they leave such an important thing (to them) to the last minute?! I hope you can get something sorted quickly.
Enjoy your weekend everybody and Happy Cruising ladyleftfield. Safe journey home Bluebalou x

Morn8ng from a wet S Hants, again. Bit of a last minute curved ball gMattie.
Enjoy your breaks Shazza and llfl. Our granddaughter is now in Europe on her way to Austria.
Permanent 6 pointers in this house kitty (Leeds and Southampton)!,
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It is at least dry in South Yorkshire if not sunny, and I slept from ten thirty until eight this morning which is a welcome departure from the recent norm. Yesterday was stressful but worked out well after a visit to the bank in the end (I hope!). I was so tired when I got home I fell asleep on the sofa! A day of not doing much today. I have some alpines to plant on the rockery wall, cuttings to take, and if it stays dry I’ll do a bit of work on the front garden.
Karmalady I love fossils too. I have small pebbles I picked up on holiday last year that contain fossilised corals. They’re actually quite pretty when you look at them through a glass.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
DS &DGD are on their way to stay for a brief visit. He's hired a van to collect furniture and effects from his DGM house, and mine
I have a lot of red things in the fridge so may make borsht.
A 🍰 in the oven for the Saturday café.

Oh dear gMattie How very dare they!!
Bureaucracy is the enemy of creativity and of motivation.

LLFO my district is twinned with eztergom komaron. It looks lovely. I have hosted artists and musicians over the years from there.

Hoping everyone finds some joy this weekend.

Despite the flood warnings the river has not overflowed and we have been spared. After a couple of days not leaving the house a walk to the village seems seriously desirable.

Sorry life is needlessly complicated, gMattie, surely you can do a Zoom interview? Hope Marydoll manages a more restful after yesterday’s excitement and that everyone’s plans work out.

Good morning Mick and everyone from blue-skied sunny Carlisle.
Yesterday, I took the early train to Newcastle for an appointment with a women's health physio. Lots of useful advice and an examination where my prolapse was pronounced mild. It has certainly improved somewhat after months of exercises. I am to return in a few weeks after following said advice etc.
I didn't want to drive through Newcastle as I haven't done so for years. I think I will prefer to go by train again, the old square-wheeled rolling stock has thankfully been replaced so I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery without feeling ill. I also got to enjoy the conversation of my chatty taxi driver and a fellow train passenger.

Today, instead of nipping out in the car, I'm going to walk across the park to the nearest convenience store and investigate their stock. Normally I know what I want will only be got in the likes of Sainsbury's. I'm hoping they will have the papers, if not, I shall just have to do without them.
grandMattie, that's all a bit late in the day! Surely something to have had done at the beginning of the buying process. I certainly hope it's not necessary for you to trek across to Bristol.
Fingers crossed for your DiL Marydoll. My first was a transverse, not the best experience...

I hope you all have the best possible weekend.

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Not much happening here. Hot dogs for DH and DS1 before they go to the football (apparently it's a 6 pointer ) and then a catch up with Doctors and the papers.

Marydoll I laughed at you being on a Most Wanted list. We used to say my dad was on one too. He was a JP, an elder in the Kirk and was always picked for random checks.
