Good Morning Monday 13th November 2023

Babydoll is so gorgeous, Marydoll! lucky you having all those cuddles and kisses with such a lovely baby!

What a delightful baby girl Marydoll. You must be overfilled with joy and love. Delighted you got to the Baptism but sad for you that you missed the 'afters'. However, you still have those lovely memories to hold on to. Take care and keep safe xx

Such a beautiful baby, Marydoll.

Good day all! Breezy but dry and bright here in West Sussex.

I was pleased to see a post from you, Auntieflo, as I was thinking you hadn’t posted recently (although I am an irregular reader so may have missed you). Hope your washing dries in the wind and smells sweet when you bring it in.

Marydoll, lovely Christening Day photo of Babydoll. Sorry you had to go home early but glad you made it for the main event.

Susan, I laughed (kindly, I hope), at your thinking maybe you do too much! I don’t know how you manage all the driving, childminding, Mum visiting. Grandmabatty is the same. And then there are all the busy crafters. I am embarrassed by my relative laziness.

Must go and do useful things 🙂. Good wishes to Mick and all.

Good morning/afternoon Mick, Annie and all. Late again! I was reading through the posts, and realised that I hadn't read yesterdays. So went back to catch up. Then had to go and put the first lot of washing on the line, while it is still dry, but blowing hard. DH had put the rubbish together and left it, supposedly safe by the porch, until tomorrow, but one of the bags blew away.
Glad to hear that your bathroom is coming along nicely GrandMattie. You will be so pleased to have it all new and shiny.
I woke myself up coughing last night, and it lasted for ages, so will have a snooze later on. ( that's normal though for me these days).
Yesterday DD and SIL came for lunch as their boiler is broken and so no heating. Luckily they have a wood burner, so are not freezing. It was lovely to have them here, but tiring. What an old grouch I am.
DH is going out to lunch with friends today, so I will choose from the left overs what to eat.
As is usual, I have now forgotten all the replies I was going to make. So sending all with worries a hug.
Have a good day one and all.

Absolutely Grammaretto.This was a day I would never see. A day full of love and joy. 💕

I am glad you were able to be at the Christening Marydoll but sorry you felt so unwell.
90% wonderful day
10% dreadful. would you say?

Good Morning from a stormy Co Armagh, we were going out this morning , but have delayed till after lunch time .
The power must have been off in the night , so now some clocks have to:be reset again
Lovely picture of your beautiful Granddaughter, Marydoll
I love her Christening Gown , my eldest grandchildren were Baptised wearing the gown I had been Baptised in. The next lot were too big to fit in it , mine was sized for a newborn

Heavy rain and strong winds in Eden. I am praying it will bring down next doors dangling enormous branches before the children come home on the school bus. We can then involve the council as it will block the highway and they can become involved. Which they have declined to do in the past.
Washing day is a washout.

What a beautiful baby marydoll! 💕

Marydoll what a gorgeous wee girl Babydoll is!

Marydoll what a cutie

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s actually sunny and still here. A nice start to the day. I’m going with my stepfather to a new out patient appointment later this morning. His GP has referred him to a renal specialist. It’s a non urgent appointment so neither of us are overly concerned. As he said yesterday at lunch ‘I’m 91y now so some things are to be expected’. He is very pragmatic and not a worrier. Must be his West Highland genes.

No Matt = Monday.

Babydoll looks such a sunny baba! A real cutie.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 11°C. There are severe weather warnings in place, with strong winds and rain forecast. Yesterday was non stop rain but it seems calm at the moment.

I haven’t read the thread yet, but I must say what a beautiful wee girl Babydoll is. I’m sorry you were unwell Marydoll and hope you feel better soon.

What a beautiful photo of Babydoll - such a lovely wee smile.
Georgesgran I have night's like that from time to time when I am just wide awake, for no discernable reason. So annoying!
Susan enjoy a restful week - we all need some down town so that we're fit for the up times.

What a beautiful baby Marydoll. She looks so happy and content.

Good morning from a wet and windy Essex coast.

DH has gone to try and get a GP appointment. He has had a chesty cough for about 5 weeks now and finally feels it is time to see a doctor !!!!!

I have some admin to do today, no other plans.

What a beautiful baby Marydoll.

I hope you all have the best day possible xxx

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Wet and windy here. Walking group has been cancelled.
I have a craft group later but otherwise an empty. I may sort another drawer out….
Beautiful baby Marydoll. I hope you manage to sort your meds.
Have a good day everyone.

Lovely baby, Marydoll😊!

Good morning from Shropshire.Bright sunshine but strong gusts of wind.

It was torrential rain for the Remembrance parade yesterday.DGD and her two little friends were the colour party for the Beavers and led the parade.I ended up marching beside them as two leaders were unwell.Thank gooodness I wore my new coat🙈😂I hate having my photo taken but have ended up in a lot of peoples photos😖

DD collected us to take us to the parade then SIL brought us home.He took us shopping on the way home then fixed our car in the pouring rain.It is booked in for a pre winter service next week but we are confident in SIL’s skills that all is well to drive it.

DH has caught either a chill or a cold standing in the rain yesterday so a day in bed for him.I have cancelled everything apart from Welsh class for this week so hopefully a good rest and he will be well enough for DGD’s birthday celebrations at the weekend.I think we do too much sometimes.

Hope you feel better soon Grandmabatty.It’s hard doing childcare when you aren’t feeling great yourself💐

Mary Babydoll is beautiful.I can’t believe she is 7 months old already.So sorry you missed the gathering at your sons house.Hope today is a better day💐

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning from a wet and windy Suffolk . Our paper was delivered at the usual time this morning so the lanes must be passable.

The ironing pile is still lurking and,given the weather, I think I will tackle it this morning. Apart from that, I’’ve got papers to read before a day’s remote meeting on Wednesday so today seems a good day to get through them. Not a very exciting day but necessary things to get done.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Morning from a wet and windy S Hampshire but I had a good eight hours sleep.
Voluntary phones today, quiz tonight, sausages and mash for dinner after MrJ’s car has been dropped for an MOT tomorrow.
Your bathroom team sound very cheery and efficient gMattie good progress.
Have a pleasant day all.
🦩🦩

What a little poppet, babydoll appears to be! So sad for you that you were unable to join the parties, Marydoll, but glad you felt well enough to atten£ the actual christening and see the family! 🫂

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a very wet Carlisle, though we do have patches of blue sky appearing. The clouds are driving over fast. I hope it's not going to be too bad later as I have to go out, a rather busy day ahead.

I hope no one is unduly troubled by bad weather.
And now, must go!

An empty will be welcome though I need to totter to the village for one or two things but as the rest of the week is quite busy I really need a bit of space. I resent this but see it as part of being old and have to put up with it.

Glad the renovations are going well, gM, sorry you are still feeling so rough, Marydoll and hope the threatened storm does not cause problems. Quite windy in my part of the world but I think we are south of the real problems.
