Good Morning Sunday 20th August 2023

Good (late) morning blossoming. Hope your hands feel better as the day goes by.

Just popping in to say a late Good Morning. Had a poor night and am slow to get moving. My hands are very painful, the joints seem really stiff.

and again!

Trying again.

Marydoll - I didn’t know there was a recipe for plum crumble!

Just stew the plums first, as in apple crumble. I swap some of the flour for oats.
I tried to post a photo from my recipe book, but the file is to large.

Good morning from a bright West York's.Congratulations Ash and cast for a successful run.
Safe journeys for all on the move. I had an unexpected visit to shop outlet yesterday it was good to catch up.
We are going for a barbeque at daughters later hope sunny weather continues.

Thank you Susan. I given in and taken the emergency nausea and dizzy pills. They are rationed, so a last reort.
DIL has just messaged to say Babydoll? is coming to visit. The best medicine ever ( along with Dollie of course!)

Good morning from Shropshire.

A hectic morning as MIL called to say her stairlift was stuck upstairs as was she.Her phone book was downstairs and we were the last people to call so she was able to call us.We live 140 miles away.SIL who is her main career is away so we have been calling various nieces and nephews to see who has a key.Help is on its way😅

We are hoping to go into town later to the balloon festival.

Ash congratulations on the long and successful run of the play.After your heart surgery last year you have done amazingly well to cope with such a busy schedule💪🏼💐

Mary I hope a quiet day sees you feeling better🤞🏻

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning from a bright & breezy and hopefully sunny Sefton.... I have washing on in anticipation (rather than precipitation!).
A pottering day, some ironing to finish before it gets too hot (🤞). And some tomato sauce to make & freeze with my miniglut of disappointingly tasteless toms. Will have to try another variety next year. That should keep me occupied whilst the football is on. I have no interest in football - or any other team games - but am looking forward to the upcoming athletics. But good luck to the ladies. Hopefully they will show the men how to do it.
Take care.

A late good morning from S Hants, it was clear earlier, now cloud and sun.
Hopefully not too choppy Scapal enjoy your Orkney break.
So that’s a wrap then Ashcombe you must be justifiably proud and just a tad tired!
Our friends swooped in yesterday with pots of goodies, cooked us a delicious bbq served with salads and we chatted for over three hours, wonderful.
We’ll watch the lionesses this morning, then I have weeds to tidy up, chicken crown for dinner, after meat draw in the pub.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

Good morning all, and the sun shines on the Angus coast! It doesn't feel particularly warm, but my app says it's 17°, so warm for here. Methinks a sit by the pond watching the fish will be in order at some point today.
Congratulations on such a successful run Ash and thanks for the various photos along the way. Enjoy your breakfast catch-up with your friend today.
Another busy day for you grandmattie. You've certainly not taken long finding your place in your new life!
Enjoy your final day of your holiday in Oz, LLfl, and then safe journey home. You'll be sad to leave, but no doubt it will be lovely to be home again.
I love the sound of the little "no duddles" GS! (Was that you foxy? - I can't go back to the previous page or I'll lose what I've written here, so sorry if I've got that wrong.)
I have a beautiful quiet Sunday ahead of me which I shall enjoy in my usual lazy relaxed way. Enjoy yours too everybody in whichever way you do best x

Leaving Wick for the ferry to Stromness from Scrabster fingers crossed for a smooth crossing. Hope everyone has the best day they can.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. I have just been dealing with a pile of plums and two crumbles now made. Nannyjan lovely memories hope you have a happy day with your GD.
Glad you had such a success Ash
I shall have my usual chat with DB and watch the football on and off, otherwise a clear day.

Grannysomerset, my DD has just messaged to ask for my recipe for plum crumble.
Her plums were diseased last year, as the previous owner had neglected the tree and left the plums to rot.

Buongiorno from another Glesca gran.

It's best if you start a new thread about this, as the people who could help, probably don't read this thread.

Good morning from Glasgow. Anyone got any tips on plantar fasciitis?

Good morning from a still , misty Co Armagh ,
Bed stripped , wash on , greenhouse opened ( I only close it in case a cat gets in ! ) breakfast eaten .
Now change into Sunday clothes
🙏🏼🕯️

Good morning from a bright blue skied East Yorkshire countryside.

We are only 14 miles from home but it is another world out here. So peaceful and in beautiful surroundings. I’m looking out over lawns and a pond with lots of ducks or as we now call them wack wacks. That’s what my gd calls them!

Today we have a bit of cleaning to do, then we will go for a coffee and we have friends coming over this afternoon.

Wishing the best of luck to the Lionesses today. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The last of the plums to stone and stew for the freezer and at least one washer load but nothing else planned. Yesterday’s shoe sorting has provided a bag full of virtually unworn offerings for a charity shop and a much tidier cupboard so smugness reigns - though not for long.

Will certainly keep an eye on the Lionesses and hope they can show the men how it should be done, but otherwise a fairly empty day.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow,where it is 16°C.

Glad to hear your production has been a roaring success, Ash. What an interesting way to spend your time.

I'm not surprised that your home baking went down well, GM, you are a very talented lady.

I had a successful evening at Mass last night, catching up with people I have been trying to talk to for ages about admin matters. Dollie spent the whole of Mass snuggling into me. 💕 One lady came up to me and commented that she was gorgeous and a real character! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! 🤣

However, our very large church was almost full and I found myself becoming anxious about the gentleman behind me, who was breathing heavily and coughing into the back of my head. At one point I sat back and he was leaning over my seat.
Silly, I know, given the fact that I have a permanent barking cough and people must think the same of me.
Being immunocompromised (for the foreseeable future) I usually sit in a quiet corner, away from people.
However, when I came out to sit with my family, after finishing my duties, the rows were all full.
Not wanting to become a recluse, I'm trying to find a balance. Life is too short to be hiding away.

I have no plans for today, apart from remembering my injection, which I always forget to remove from the fridge half an hour beforehand. No problem if I'm not going out, but the last few Sundays have been very busy.
Although I have people to see, I'm going to give Mass a miss. All the sacristans are back on duty, so no need for me to cover.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel a bit out of sorts and over the last few days the heart issue symptoms seem to be rearing their ugly head again.

Llfl enjoy the last few days with your family.

As always, all the poorlies are in my thoughts and prayers.
Have a good Sunday all.

Good morning Mick and all from a brightening northwest coast.
The large back patio will be seen to today. It’s a mess and a couple of pigeons in an overhanging pine tree make large contributions to it…
After a slothful day yesterday I will sort out some music and make family phone calls.
So glad you had a good production Ash and that you are feeling cheerier grandMattie, you are so very active, which is admirable.
Thoughts to all with worries 🌹

Good morning from a gloriously sunny Suffolk coast. We arrived yesterday and db2 came in the afternoon and stayed over. We had a carvery in the local pub. Very delicious.

We are going to nephews opera in the forest this evening. A lovely venue set deep in the woods created from beautiful wood . An open air theatre! Fingers crossed the weather will be good. This is the third year wev e been and I’m looking forward to it, picnic baskets and fizz to take.

Firstly dog walk along the beach, then watch the wonderful Lionesses.🤞. Later we’ll go to a nursery to buy autumn plants for tubs.

Enjoy the sun, those who have it. 🌻

Bests not bats!

Good Morning from a sunny S Yorks.

Got my haircut at last yesterday and today its Quakers.

Bats for poorlies and carers and may todays endeavours go well.
