Good Morning Monday 20th November 2023

Good morning from Shropshire.A day of sunshine and showers forecast.

Glad you were able to get the pebbles to help stop the weed growth on the graves Mick.

Today is DGD’s eighth birthday.I helped at her birthday party on Saturday, a tie dye party for 14 little girls😳it was good fun and the children all enjoyed it.Yesterday I looked after H while DD and SIL took DGD to Liverpool for lunch, shopping and the theatre.

I am having a week off everything this week.It has been a tricky couple of months with my own health, DH being unwell and trying to support our elderly and unwell mothers.I have been feeling overwhelmed by it all so am taking a week to hopefully relax and feel better.

Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles and dealing with illness whether their own or of loved ones.

Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning Mick. Miserable and wet here in the NE.
It was mildish yesterday so SIL and I had a walk round the estate to blow away the cobwebs.
We got some paperwork sorted and then prepared dinner, a sausage casserole with several vegetables, it was delicious.
Going to be a difficult day today as I have been awake since 3.30, brain is spinning with various problems mostly the ongoing fiasco with the bank, six months and counting.

Good morning from a damp but mild Torbay.

A difficult evening, not helped by migraine dazzles at the rehearsal which has developed into a headache this morning. I also spent an hour and a half on a Zoom call with my friend from school days whose husband has oesophageal cancer. Tough times.

On a brighter note, the photo is of a plane tree I can see from my bedroom window. It’s one of the last to lose its leaves as most of the other trees in the park are nearly bare.

Wishing you all a good week. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a damp Bristol.
Due to the ceilidh taking place in the church nave on Saturday evening, the services were held in the hall. It was very intimate.
Saw a post by DD, saying that she had a service in her newly refurbished church (one of three she serves),not only was it the first time she preached from the pulpit, but it was the first time a woman had done so! #proudmum.
Quiet day, dozing, catching upon sleep yesterday.
Today, the bathroom floor is being lino-ed, the plasterer is doing the hall walls. No doubt, I shall have the dehumidifier on for the next three days, for the walls to dry, ready for the painter. The work is proceeding well.
I have the WI AGM this afternoon; I shall go but not stay very long.
Gentle thoughts for those who are sick, unhappy or in distress. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and damp. It sounds like you had a busy time.
Yesterday was busy but pleasant. Dgs2 had a very nice birthday, although he couldn't have cared less! He loved the gift bag I brought his presents in and used it to house his new cars. 😂 I visited mum in the afternoon and we chatted for half an hour or so.
Today is very early childcare. I'm looking after the boys all week as the other grandparents have gone on holiday and DD and Sil don't have any holiday days left. I will be exhausted! Have a good day all
