Good Morning Monday 13th November 2023

Good morning from a rainy Cornwall. My taxi driver son found these medals in his cab last night; hopefully someone will claim them. My eight-year-old granddaughter has scarlet fever so couldn't visit us yesterday but my daughter and I went to my arty daughter-in-law's for a roast, and as they hadn't caught up for a staggering eight years it was a lovely visit. Today, some Christmas shopping and coffee/cake somewhere.

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset is very windy but it seems the earlier heavy rain has stopped.

Disturbed night again, I’m really sleeping very little, just 3-4 hours, pain wakes me. A bit auto pilot. Some admin which won’t take long this morning. Our goddaughter will phone to talk through a worry about her mums care home. Not sure what else.

Have for best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from a blustery North Leicestershire. We had rain overnight which woke me up.

Today I have shopping to do for my sick friend and will pop down to see her later on.

It is the last of our zoom Carer sessions this evening which I am pleased about as I am finding it really hard.

Good morning from a wet and windy but mild Torbay. A few photos taken inside our church. We were glad it stayed dry for our gathering round the war memorial to end the service yesterday morning and then for our walk to the Downs for our celebratory meal.

olddudders really enjoyed his birthday and was touched by the number of greetings he received from the lovely GM gang. Thank you, everyone!

It must be good to feel the end is within reach in the bathroom saga, grandMattie and I’m glad the men are a pleasant crew. No doubt you keep them supplied with some of your tasty baking! The concert sounded wonderful!

I hope the cold doesn’t afflict you too severely, Grandmabatty; with all the caring responsibilities you have, it’s the last thing you need!

Hope today is the start of a good week for everyone. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning, it is going to be dry and sunny in s somerton but very windy

I lit the log fire yesterday, I have a modern closed stove and a fan on top, I kept the living room door open and the warm air blows into the hall and helps take the chill off. I was chilly and just 4 small logs later, I was warm and cosy and let the fire die down before I got too warm

A cosy sweatshirt made yesterday, very quick as it was a tried and tested pattern. Later I ordered warm fabric for three others, a new lovely different pattern with a zipped angled neck, one each for DDs and one for me. It amazes me when I get the ooh that is lovely and yes please, no age barrier to style here and mine will be brightest in lime green

I have an appointment this morning and need to be at the bus stop in good time

Have a good day

Good morning, it’s wet and windy here on the edge of the Cotswolds.
The dog and I got very wet and cold on our walk yesterday, my coat leaked so reproofing it clearly hasn’t worked. It took a hot shower and several hours sat by the log burner before I warmed up ☹️
I have ordered a warm, waterproof coat online, I hate getting cold because it takes me ages to warm up.
Today I want to do some watercolour painting, I haven’t done any for a while and I definitely need to practice more.
I will take the dog out mid morning when apparently the rain will slacken off 🤞🏻, we’ll go to the village in the car and do the bridleway I think.
Take care 🌹

Good morning from a wet Bristol. The forecast stormy winds haven’t started just yet.
I had a quiet day yesterday, punctuated by a visit from my lovely plumber, bringing a dehumidifier to dry the plaster for the ticker tomorrow. I met his German shepherd too.
In the early evening, I went into Bristol to hear DD1 sing. The Bristol Youth Choir and Orchestra joined forces for a practice use of the refurbished (but as yet not officially opened) Beacon Hall. The youngsters were amazing, the concert varied from Elgar and Bruckner to Rutter and spirituals. The other GPS were there too.
I’d taken a bus in, but DSiL took me home.
Today, more bathroom. Most of the racket and dust are over, the work noise tolerable. I think the shower tray is going in.
I’m not enjoying the work, but having it done is fabulous, and the men are really lovely and thoughtful re. mess and noise.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and damp, as far as I can see. Enjoy your cafe visit Mick.
Yesterday I had dgs2 for a few hours while his brother was at a party. When dd and dgs1 returned, they stayed for lunch. Later I visited mum who managed to chat.
Today is early childcare day. I'll do the nursery drop off and bring dgs2 back to my house. Apparently he ran into the corner of a door last night and has a massive bump. Dgs1 has a cold which he's passed on to us all. My throat is sore this morning, so I'm going to get it too. I hope GrandMattie is coping with the bathroom renovations and Ash's DH had a nice birthday. Susan I hope you get your car sorted. Marydoll I look forward to reading about the baptism. Have a good day all
