Good Morning Wednesday 1st November 2023

Morning all from a still dark West Oxfordshire.
It is the WI coffee morning today. Should be fun.
OH has a hospital appointment this afternoon which I’ll drive him to. Parking is so difficult so both of us need to go. I have a WI committee meeting at 6 pm but I’ll to ask someone to deputise as secretary in case I’m not back in time. If we’re home we’ll take the opportunity to watch the covid enquiry with B Johnson probably trying his best to wriggle out of the huge hole he dug for himself.
Have a good day.

Morning from S Hampshire, I could hear wind and rain in bed, my gunky eye needed sorting, hence the early hour.
Final sorting of garden yesterday, tulips and viola’s planted, I’m on call to pick up our granddaughter today when her exam has finished, ditto tomorrow.
Fizz definitely preferable to eggs Ash cheers🥂 to you both.
Safe journey to travellers over the next couple of days.

Good morning from Bristol. Didn’t it rain overnight? I’m glad your trip was easy, RosiesMaw, and I hope that olddudders is safely back in Blighty.
I decided I didn’t want to freeze at tai chi, so walked the 25 minutes to Waitrose, did my shopping, the decided to walk back, instead of taking the bus, as it was very sunny.
The rest of the day was filled with this and that, a lot of hand sewing to finish the quilt, Spanish homework, etc.
I had a WhatsApp chat with DGS, reminiscing about his dad, who loved the chicken wings I was having for dinner. I don’t hear from him much, so it was nice to chat.
May today bring nothing but gentleness and ease to all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a wet Torbay.

Welcome to the soggy South West, RosiesMaw, and good luck with the walk!
Your patio looks intriguing, Mizuna! Lovely to have time with your DGS.

Good news: DH arrived safely and to the local Torre station so I didn’t have to drive to Newton Abbot in the wet weather.
Bad news: we had an egg lobbed at our window. It made the same noise as the fizz bottle we had just opened but not as pleasant to experience!

It’s good to have time together again and we shall probably go to Wednesday Club.

Happy hump day! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a dark, wet Cornwall. The pic is my patio very early yesterday morning with the burgeoning light reflected in the mirrors. Today I'm off to my son's house to stay overnight and 'sit' my 13-year-old grandson while his dad is away photographing a convention at the Eden Project. My grandson is now bigger than me (and I'm tall) yet it seems no time since he was two and I helped my son as he learnt how to be a single dad. Apparently there's a cottage pie in the fridge to share and I have instructions to 'Cook lots of veg to go with it please mum.'

Good morning from soggy Somerset! Well there was ☔️ ☔️ and more ☔️ last night ! Can’t tell if it’s stopped now as it’s dark and the house is very soundproofed.
Easy drive down yesterday, it’s quite relaxing spending several hours driving alone with just Radio 4 and occasionally Classic FM for company .
I have a horrible feeling a walk is planned for this morning “Just a gentle one, Mum, only about 3 miles” 😱😱😱
I may be some time.
Wishing you all a pleasant day
