Good Morning Sunday 26th November 2023

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 0°, frosty with grey skies. Susan good news for you! Baubles not so good for you. I hope your voice returns soon.
Today I'm looking after dgs2 for a couple of hours while dgs1 has yet another party. Sil is working. After that, I'll visit mum. So a fairly busy time. Have a good day all

Good morning from an icy, but overcast Black Country.

It was a very sunny but bitterly cold day yesterday. The car was still iced up at midday. Lovely lunch out with DD and the family and Mum. Mum finds it hard to join in conversations when in a noisy environment though. I struggle to sometimes.

Gym this morning, then baking this afternoon as I fancy making an orange marmalade cake. Probably ironing too!

Labadi0747 you may be better off starting your own thread regarding your question, as this is mainly a good morning thread.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning all from a frosty North Leicestershire.

Bits and bobs to do today and a reassessment of the Christmas present situation. And keeping warm.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from Glasgow, where its -1°C.

I am so pleased to hear your results are OK Susan, what a relief. Its not the most pleasant of procedures.

GG, isn't it a wonderful feeling have the wee ones in bed with you.
Dollie spent the whole of the Vigil Mass last night, cuddling into me. 💕. However, it may be nothing to do with loving her gran, but the fact that the heating was broken. I don't think I have ever been so cold in my life! 🥶

Yesterday's visit from Babydoll was delightful. However, I think she is a papa's girl. She follows his voice everywhere and when DS couldn't get her settled, she sat contentedly on DH's lap. She badly need a nap, so DIL had to walk her in the pram from Dollie's home, a half hour walk, to try and get her to sleep, while DS2 drove down. It didn't work, there was so much going on and she is an inquisitive wee soul. 😂

Yesterday, I received a new treatment plan from my rheumatologist, suggesting yet another type of biologics.
I'm unsure what to do, because they can be quite brutal and he couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't suffer similar.ar side effects as the previous two treatments. The bonus is that they are also supposed to help prevent heart issues from the RA.
I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Excrutiating pain or having nausea and BPPV. I may wait until after Christmas and then begin them.

I have to run down to church this morning after spending ages defrosting my car to prevent an issue escalating. I will need my diplomacy hat on! Whatever I do, will probably be wrong! 😉

Have a pleasant Sunday everyone and as always thinking of those who are struggling. 💐

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where there's a frost.
Last night we could see the Northern Lights from here for the first time in ages.
My df arrived late after a 10 hour train and bus journey from northern Scotland.
She's here for a memorial service. I lit the fire and cooked a simple meal. I hope she wasn't disturbed by my nighttime coughing.
I see you are still poorly Baubles. This virus is not nice.

I hope you didn't get too cold waiting for that bus gMattie
Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Frost on the garden in South Yorkshire this morning and no sun in evidence. It was a lovely bright day yesterday. DS came down and managed to sit still long enough to eat a hot lunch before he went to the football, and then DD and the menfolk came over to go for a walk along the river, and stayed to have fish and chips for tea. Altogether a good day. Today will be a quiet one. I need to finish some writing and my knitting is pleading for attention.
Have the best Sunday you can, folks.

Mr & Mrs Corner, get well soon!

Baubles, DH sees my permanent hoarseness as a bonus and an excuse to say I never asked him to do anything. 😂 I hope you feel better soon.

Grammaretto that is a fabulous photo. I love the way The Plough is captured right in the middle.

Morning from Connel, this flipping iPad is playing up and my newsy posts yesterday and this morning’s have just vanished so in this attempt I’ll just wish all those who are struggling with this nasty virus as well as Covid, a quick return to health. Thank you for condolences last week on the death of my cousin, I appreciated them.

I’ll try and attach a lovely picture that I did not take but shows just where I am, DD’s house is just behind the bridge ( if it appears!

Have a good day all.

Hope the Corners start to feel better soon - just what they didn’t need. Painter here to continue work on water damaged ceilings plus a couple of small touch up jobs. The stuff which goes over the leak marks before the paint smells disgusting so windows are open and I am wearing an anorak. All in a good cause and I may escape to church shortly if that fits with my paint fairy’s timescale. Otherwise today involves sheep knitting and the paper.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s dry. Himself has a cold. Mixing again with folk. He will stay warm and cosy at home watching the F1 racing. I will pop into the larder for some bits my stepfather needs and go to see him this afternoon on the bus. Glad to hear your good news Susan56. Your relief will be huge. Sadly awful news for us was also given as we left and we took home a sheet of paper with all the frightening news typed up on it and left to stew on it all over the weekend. It was a brutal way to find out.

Here’s Matt.

Chilly lancashire here,have not poked my nose out yet,but will be doing as I am off to work at the Supermarket,I hope my customers are kind today! Brrrrrr..bfn

Good morning everyone from a very grey and frosty day in Northampton; -1° outside, rain showers expected this afternoon. Sitting on the sofa with a blanket over my knees waiting for the house to warm up before I go and have my shower, Boom radio playing on Alexa.

A quiet day in yesterday with the papers and watched my teams recorded rugby match from Friday night (even though I had actually been at the match!)
Binge watched all episodes so far of the Michael Portillo Andalusia series, and longed for the warmth, colour and sunshine!

Out to the cinema, braving the cold, after brunch to see the Cliff Richard film of his anniversary concert.
An M&S roast beef in Yorkshire pudding for dinner tonight, cannot be bothered to cook after an afternoon out.

Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a back to grey Carlisle where it is 2°C. It was so cold yesterday that the iron-hard ice in the bird bath still hasn't entirely melted.
I went to the garden centre yesterday morning, after a considerable amount of time was spent defrosting the car which had a layer of ice inside the windscreen as well as out. I bought two poinsettia plants, one pink ,one cream, which will be my sole effort at Christmas decoration.
In the afternoon, I went out and did some pruning, especially of my crab apple bush tree which has grown rapidly. There are still plenty of fruits left on it for the blackbird which comes in regularly for them. I got very cold and was glad to get in for coffee and my first mince pie of the season (I used to start at the beginning of September....a box of mince pies a week from then till Christmas does not do waistlines a favour!)

I shall stay in today and work at various little jobs and read the papers.

What a beautiful part of the world you live in Stillearning. I've visited that area several times.

I hope all you poorlies find improvements today, best wishes!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning , no frost this am ,
Urms 💐 🕯️ and 🙏🏼

Morning everyone from a cloudy but dry north Kent. Still lolling about so no idea what the temperature outside is, but suspect it’s chilly.

Can’t decide whether to go for a walk along the seafront later this morning or whether to sort out the clothes I want to take on holiday. We go on January 2nd and will be away until the beginning of March so quite a bit to sort out; must unearth my swimming costumes from the depths of the wardrobe just to make sure I look reasonably decent in them 🤣.

Hope those with covid and other illnesses have a reasonable day and that everyone has a good Sunday

Urmston, I'm sorry to hear you've had some very bad news...

A hug and love to you both urms.

urms 💐 . Susan56 so pleased for you. Hope those feeling poorly soon get relief.
Off to cycle through The Archers, as usual.

Just to clarify - that news was back in April.

Good morning all. I don't usually read this thread but was up very early and am glad I did. I don't have a very exciting day in store which is fine. Yesterday was busy and next week has filled up with activities (how does that happen?!) Among other things, we're going to visit a potential new cattery for 'the boys'. The old one we used to use changed hands and really isn't very well run at all now.

What smashing pictures Grammaretto and Stillearning thank you.
Morning Aveline 👋👋.

I do hope Urms post refers to past experience, when Himself was first diagnosed and not a new development? X

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 2°C.

I have not posted for a few days as I haven’t received some shocking news regarding two friends and I am struggling to process it. Life can be so cruel sometimes.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday 🌹

Good morning from a cloudy Oxfordshire, a bit warmer but although yesterdays sun was brilliant to be in, it was -4 for most of the day. We went to buy MrOops some walking boots to keep his feet dry when he is dog walking, came home had a cup of tea and I was suddenly very sick, that continued all evening and part of the night, so I’m feeling a bit fed up.
Excellent news Susan 💐
GM at last the end is in sight for you, you must be so pleased.
Urms 💐yes it’s brutal isn’t it.
MD 💐
Hope all those with Covid soon get better and that all poorlies get well soon.
Have a good day everyone
