Good Morning Monday 6th November 2023

Good morning all from a sunny and dry Angus coast. The washing machine is doing its thing and hopefully, with no rain forecast, all will be dried outside.
Glad you're beginning to feel a bit better Mick.
You must be so glad that 'B' Day is here at last grandmattie - and you'll be even more so when all is finally and successfully concluded!
Gingster I'm so sorry about your poor DD. What a worry for you all. I hope the hours spent in A&E today will give you some answers and comfort
When I got home yesterday - after another delightful drive through Perthshire in all its autumn 🍁 finery - I was aware that 'something was different' as I walked backwards and forwards bringing everything in from the car. Then I realised that there was a large bag of sunflower seeds and an opened packet of suet block on the table in the corner of the garden room which definitely weren't there when I left on Friday. I stood and pondered them and then looked up to see this beautiful bird table outside on the patio! And that definitely hadn't been there when I left. Lovely Gardener, who's hobby is woodworking, has been at it again! This has obviously been his wet weather project for October. As he tells me, he loves to do things as little surprises to put a smile on someone's face. He certainly put a smile on mine! He's one of life's true gems and I count myself so lucky that he came to work for me all those years ago.
Now I must off and get this show on the road - lots to do before my covid booster at 4.58pm. Yes, that's the time in the appointment letter! Precise if nothing else.
Have a good day everyone, particularly Urms and Himself in Malaga and Marydoll with her Dolly-time 😉

What a lovely bird table Taichinan planted with flowers in the bottom would be nice, and what a clever thoughtful gardener you have.

A damp good morning from Co Armagh
It was a glorious day yesterday , lots of tidying outside , patio furniture put away , but coffee’s outside before the chairs were lifted , all my bedding and the spare bed washed and dried !
Needless to say I was wrecked , even though I am chiefly the spectator these days
Shopping today , I have been warned that next Monday is the day for Christmas shopping , mustn’t miss that 🙄
There used to be lovely Craft fairs locally but haven’t heard of any yet this year
🕯️🕯️lit yesterday for those amongst us needing thoughts

Morning from a dry, bright Co Durham.
Welcome claralou. Hope your renovations are swiftly completed grandMattie. Hope your dd gets answers Gingster. Glad your husband is improving ash. Enjoy Dolllie, Marydoll. Lovely bird table, Taichinan.
Off to blitz the house now, not wielded a duster or hoover in 3 weeks #lazy gran.
It’s our dgd’s 9th birthday today, she’s our only gc so very precious. She will call in ( with her mum) after school. She messaged me at 7am to thank us for her birthday card, they do grow up so quickly.
Have the best day possible one and all.

I understand Grandtante 's DH's funeral is today so although I don't expect her to be looking in on GN, I am sending my "virtual" love and support at this difficult time

Morning from baubles bit of South Lanarkshire, where I’ve been staying overnight with DD2 and family. As usual it’s been lovely and I’m now relaxing before heading to DD5 and her ironing! (School uniforms), I do them so much better evidently😂. Usual routine later, I’ll collect DGC from school and see to their tea, I really enjoy the time with them.

Welcome Claralou, you sound like a very busy lady! I hope you enjoy this nice start to the day.

Thoughts very much with you and your daughter today Gingster.

Thinking about you too Grammaretto, soon be all sorted.

Morning coffee in your She shed in the sunshine sounds like a lovely start to the day Kalu

Have a good time with Dolly Marydoll and best wishes to all for a pleasant day.

Hi Claralou I am from West York's has well not many on here from this area.
Gingster hope your daughter gets some answers today.
Urms hope you are sat round the pool taking in sun rays.
Ash hope oh improving and you don't succumb.
Bank this morning then a empty may let furniture see a duster.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 9°C and raining lightly. Glad you are getting back to normal.

The fireworks were noisier last night but didn’t go on too late. I hope we’ve seen the last of them for now, I really don’t like them. We had curried lamb and rice for dinner last night. I was apprehensive about the effect on my acid reflux and hernia. There were a few ominous rumbles and signs of acid but fortunately not a full blown attack. However I think it’s wise to steer clear of hot spicy food for the time being. Shame, as I love it! No real plans for today other than some light housework.

Glad your DH is feeling a little better Ashcombe.

Hope your DD gets some answers Gingster.

Your DH is coming on in leaps and bounds Cornergran. Not literally of course!

Please don’t over task yourself Marydoll and enjoy your time with Dollie.

Good to see you posting here Claralou 😊. Your family must keep you on your toes!

Hoping Urms and DH are now in their happy place and the journey went smoothly.

Thinking of Grammarretto having surgery today and praying all goes well.

Well my mug is empty so I’d best get up! Happy Monday 🌹. Sending love to any poorlies and thinking of our dear Baggs as always.

Good morning all from sunny? Harrogate
Have not read all your posts, hope to catch up later. This man is coming to cut our hedge, it’ll take most of the day. JL is delivering our new fridge/freezer and taking the old one with them. Meanwhile I chat to my friend and then my sisters! Possibly another friend will be coming round with the key for the church hall if she is not well enough to come tomorrow. The photo of the tin mine is stunning, Mizuna but rather anyone else than me set foot in it!

Have the best day possible folks
