Good Morning Tuesday 3rd October 2023

Good morning Mick & everyone.
A crow has just woken up here and had something to say, then it all went quiet here. Maybe his missus told him she wanted a lie-in!
It's still quite dark, so I can't say I'd blame her.
I'm in the Thanet area, in Kent. It's still quiet here, so far. Some mornings the early staff of the neighbourhood youth club empty bottles into a big outside bin, and I could not be more unhappy with them, but I think they're having a lie-in, too - YAAAAY!!
I'm hoping some stitching cards I've ordered will turn up today so I can get cracked on with those, if my hand is not in too much pain to hold one as I stitch onto it - I'm hoping to do some for my DC & my DGC for Christmas.
Anyway, I've not been asleep yet so I'm off for a nap.
Take care, everyone, but enjoy your day....oh, I'm hearing some birds waking up nearby, chittering & chattering!
Greyduster what are Anzac biscuits, please?

Glad you had a good day yesterday Grandmabatty.

Safe travels to olddudders.

Just remembered it’s Welsh class today🤯

Good morning from Shropshire.

I have had a poor nights rest as the cyst on my head has burst again.I have no idea how long the waiting list I am on is and feel stressed at the thought of doing battle with the drs this morning.

Boiler in yesterday.Today is the shower and radiators.

Harri what a worry for you.If it’s any comfort I have had pre cancerous cells for 17 years.I have regular checks.I know every case is different.I pray that things remain stable for your DD🙏🏻💐

RosesandLilac I hope today is a better day for you.

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a dry South Yorkshire. Venus is very bright in the morning sky at the moment.
I hope Olddudders has a good journey today, Ash. You’ll miss him.
Not sure what is on the cards for me today except to make some Anzac biscuits for GS (and a few for me!) and wash down the garage door which the birds have made a mess of. Oh and try and prepare something for writer’s group tomorrow.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from Bristol. Yesterday, the weather wasn’t too bad until the evening when it rained heavily. Today is said to be mostly dry, so I’ve already washed, ready to hang out.

Ash, I don’t know how you manage your part part-time marriage; goodbyes must be so hard, the solitude difficult.

Iris seems to have had a good time with the Princess, though I’ve only seen a photo her mum sent. I’ll talk to her on Thursday when I visit.

I took time off the toddler group and went to Tesco with my neighbour. After lunch, I lay down to have a nap, but had a niggling feeling, it turned out tone the chiropodist coming in about 20 minutes to cut my nails! No nap 😴.

After that, having already prepared everything, I cooked the piccalilli and marrow chutneys. Not that much - 16 piccalilli and 10 marrow. I also prepared, printed and cut out the labels to glue on when I’ve washed the jars.

Today is quiet; just Taichi then I’ll try to be less busy.

My thoughts and prayers to those who need it, whether though illness, sorrow or solitude. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 11° and dry. RoseandLilac that sounds like a very irritating day. Ash time will pass quickly and you'll be together again before you know it.
A good day with dgs2 yesterday. No meltdowns like last week. Today I'm hoping for more of the same. Have a good day all

Good morning from the NE where we had overnight rain.
I have been awake since 3.30am, probably because I slept nine hours the night before.
Had message from DD to say that her biopsy results were back and they showed that the tissue was pre cancerous but no cancer present. We have all been so worried as she has lost weight too and was tiny to start with.
Another quiet day for me.
Thoughts are with poorly people.

Good morning from the South Downs. Forecast sunny, yesterday we had a shower of rain that latest all of 5 minutes the rest of the day was sunny.

Today is my sister’s birthday, so they are coming to lunch. I’m doing Tapas - about 6 different plates. Something tasty.

mick my dogs bowels are in sympathy with yours I think. I am really struggling to get him normal, we were out at 3am and now just back after another walk. I gave him mashed carrot and sweet potato with his dinner yesterday as that is supposed to harden things up. But that didn’t work. The vet seems to think that there is nothing wrong (which cost me £94 to be told that!) Oh well ever onwards.

Peace and harmony for everyone.

Good morning, another soggy start to the day here.
By mid morning yesterday I was wishing I’d stayed in bed 🫤, my new bank card refused to be activated, the tyre place man was nothing short of unpleasant and patronising and when I went to the bank they said getting another card and new pin will be another 5-10 working days.
Today it’s housework and making a rhubarb crumble I think. Apart from that it’s too wet to garden so I will do more crocheting.
Take care 🌹

Good morning, an ok weather day, bit of sun, bit of rain and bit of wind but not grim like yesterday

I was happily busy all day yesterday, did the upstairs inside windows and wondered at the clean outside glass as I have never had them cleaned. They must be self-cleaning. Blouse is nicely finished too

I want to go on a car ride to my favourite grocery shop this morning, I need some things to help with logistics as I have visitors next week. I think I will prep the fire with logs and starters and generally tidy as I have patterns all over the place

I may also start to crochet an improvised cafetiere cosy from my early thickest homespun wool

Have a good day

Good morning from a dry, dark Torbay.

We have an early start as olddudders is returning to France today but will be back in November. His train leaves Newton Abbot at 7.30 a.m. and he'll be chez lui by mid evening, having been met at the local station by the cleaner/gardener who also feeds the cats in his absence.

Yesterday, I went to my Move It Or Lose It class where I managed most of the routines despite my hip being grumpy in the morning. Today I’m showing a new member around the theatre then attending Props so that will help me face the solitude after DH’s departure.

I hope today brings relief from pain and worries. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
