Good Morning Monday 5th February 2024

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset looks dry and draughty.

Read for most of yesterday, must galvanise myself into action today. Or try to. Soup to make, some tidying to do, general faffing really. Mr C has a dental appointment late afternoon, I’ll drive as parking there is dire. Expecting a call from our goddaughter who is in a major tizz. The day will be filled and then I’ll wonder what I’ve done.

Hope you feel better as the day goes on grandmab and Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning from south Glos, I can hear the wind blowing but I’m not getting up to look outside. The dog has joined me on the bed because DH has been crashing around getting ready to leave for a hospital appointment 🙄
I’ve been awake since 2am for no apparent reason so it’s going to be a very long day today.
I have finished my sorting out, 4 black bags for charity, everything is tidy so I am rather pleased with myself. I suspect I have completely overdone it so that’s why I had a bad night? I felt most peculiar yesterday afternoon and evening 😵‍💫
A quiet day today will be good.
Take care 🌹

Good morning everyone from a still dark and dry Northampton. High winds forecast this morning.

No yoga this morning as I have a dental appointment, just a check up. May go for coffee afterwards at the village bakery; they have a little coffee shop, but I must hasten past the large display of cakes and buns for sale....

A tidy up day indoors today and must wield the duster and Shark in the sitting room; I have a coffee morning here on Wednesday and don't want to look a slattern; everyone else's houses seem to look like show homes.

A Bolognese sauce to make for dinner tonight after an afternoon of reading. Yesterday afternoon I sat and watched a recorded film 'The Secret Garden'; I loved the book as a child, and was not disappointed.

Have a good Monday everyone.

Good morning from Oxfordshire, not sure what is happening weather wise, but the birds are singing, if I get up the dog will want to go out and it’s too early for that.

Shopping delivery later, no cleaning as we’ve just come home after a week away and I cleaned before we went. Just ironing to do and dog walks.

Have a good day everyone, my thoughts are with those who are having a tough time.

A very windy good morning from me 💨 - I need to put the recycling out but don’t want to be trotting after it down the street in my dressing gown…🫣

What a lovely word ‘marmalading’ is grandMattie - tempting and comforting at the same time! Wish I was closer so I could purchase a few 🫙 instead of thinking of making my own!

Off to Conwy for MrPGs scripts later then coffee and..ahem…a 🍰 might slip onto the tray, accidentally of course…😇

Hopes for a good day everyone x

Good morning from Sefton. No idea what it's doing out there & I am definitely not getting up to have a look. It doesn't sound wet or windy.
Singing group this morning, cake baking this afternoon, WI this evening. A full day.
Take care all.

Good morning from Shropshire.Sounds windy out there.

We are both feeling tired after a busy weekend with the children.

We are off to Cheshire to see my mum today.The usual lunch out and then she wants to go shopping.

You are very organised Mick and good that your team will arrange your appointments round your outings.

I hope you feel better as the day goes on Grandmabatty.Your comment about lots of eating made me laugh.DGD is permanently hungry.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I can hear the wind whistling outside! I be won’t be getting up quite yet. Probably around 8 am.
I bought a beautiful mini teacup and saucer yesterday from an Antique Fair. We might go to more of these things,
Usual Monday Waitrose shop plus quite a bit of admin has popped up. I have a WI committee meeting on Wednesday so will need to prepare. Oh, I have to collect a present for my brother whose birthday is this month. He lives in Australia so I have to allow a fair bit of time for delivery. He’s just got the date through for his major heart operation which will be next week. He’s having to go to Sydney for it so I’ll send it c/o my sister who lives there.
Have a good day everyone. I’m thinking of Urms and others with worries and difficulties.

Good morning from Cornwall where it's cloudy and breezy and mild. A sweet day yesterday. My eight-year-old granddaughter announced that she'd like to live in a big house with three floors with me so that we could have a different room for all the different things we do. I could have wept.

Then to church for a farewell service for our young vicar and her family, and she brought communion to my seat as I couldn't queue on my crutches. I didn't even know she'd seen me there and was touched by that too. So quite a sniffly day really. A lavish cream tea followed the service. We have lots of young people in our congregation and I met a man about to qualify as an anaesthetist. Ten years since he started his medical training, yikes.

Today I'm off to hospital to see the volunteering team, to try and trace my DBS form which has gone awol. Then I'll pop to M&S to buy avocadoes.

Glad to see you back Ash. I missed you yesterday

Good morning, dull and windy today in s somerset

I had a lovely relaxing zen day yesterday, Started making a really nice hoodie, slowly and carefully with plenty of breaks.

Archers, call the midwife and a cosy fire lit later in the evening

Meanwhile a dd was running 70k from Brecon to Cardiff, I was tracking progress and was so glad when she finished. She is in very good spirits

Craft group today and basic tidying in the house, got to keep on top of it

Have a good day

Good morning from a breezy Torbay.

What a good idea to inform your nursing team about your unavailable dates, Mick. Saves everyone's time.

I hope you continue to feel better, Grandmabatty, especially with your grandsons to care for.

I'm sorting out my (ridiculous amount of!) costume jewellery to see if a friend from Toads can make use of it in his jewellery making hobby or sell any of it as he regularly trades at craft fairs. I'm happy to see him benefit as he’s a good hearted chap.

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

Good morning from Bristol. Overcast, but dry, I think. Relatively warmer.
Quiet day again, not much after church yesterday. I’m finishing almost a week’s worth of onion soup. Delicious but a bit repetitive after the third or fourth day.
In the late afternoon, I decided to go to DD’s evening service in town. The church also has one of the Bristol Light Show installations. The service was quite odd; reflective and with discussions, finishing with prayers. We trooped off to see the installation (the service took place in a side room) then came back and talked about it. As I said, quite different. Not my cup of tea. DD was surprised to see me, the congregation welcoming (being the vicar’s mum helps!)
Today, toddler group then the last marmalading for the year, I think.
Take care, be kind to yourselves. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and others from Polmont where it's currently 10° and wet. It was very windy in the night..It's good for you to get out! Enjoy all your trips ahead.
Yesterday I ended up feeling rather unwell and did nothing in the afternoon. Lots of self care.
Today is early childcare day. My stomach pains are still there but receding. There will be playing with cars on the agenda, drawing and lots of eating by the boys. Nursery drop off and pick up too. Have a good day all
