Good Morning Sunday 25th February 2024

Good morning all from a misty, frosty North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today, just a new chicken recipe to try for dinner.

Have the best day possible everyone.

My crocuses and snowdrops are peeping through

Good morning from a frosty W Kent. Things seem to have ground to a halt here but only a week to go with my boot to wear outside. A chat to my brother and a lunch to cook
Urms just caught up with your good news and Kalu
Mizuna hope you are home feeling better soon.
Best wishes to all

Good morning Mick and all from a bright 2° northwest coast.
I’m off soon on a coach day trip to the Lakes, so will wrap up and have my sarnies and flask ready.

Get well soon Mizuna, nice to see your post Urms and thoughts to all with worries 🌺

Good morning all. A cold & frosty start to the day here in Sefton.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening yesterday - a pre theatre Italian meal with DS2 & DinL, followed by an hour of drinks & nibbles in the theatre's VIP lounge (all part of the package) then Matthew Bourne's wonderful Edward Scissorhands. I am also a big fan Grandmabatty. Love everything he produces.
A quieter day today. A visit to the farm shop then possibly a bit of slow cooker batch 'cooking'. Chop it up, chuck it in, douse in red wine, leave for hours , freeze. Can probably manage that.
Lovely to hear your good news Kalu & Urms. Every little bit of good & positive news must give you a real boost.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s frosty again but with a clear blue sky.
Church this morning, I’m reading the lesson then home to do some ironing. Perhaps a bit more garden tidying too. The grass is really growing but I think still too wet for a cut.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a frosty and misty Colchester.
We had a lovely family day yesterday and DH thanks you for his birthday wishes.
There is some clearing up to do today and leftovers to eat. We will clear our cobwebs with a trip to watch DGS3 play football at lunchtime. Under 8s matches are always entertaining.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning everyone from Inverness, where its a dry and frosty start to the day, only about -2 so hoping it warms up a bit later
Goodness mizuna so sorry to hear you’re in hospital. I hope you get the necessary treatment sorted and you can get home very soon
Just a gentle day today nothing much planned but hopefully DGS will be here tonight for his usual Sunday sleepover
Happy birthday to your DH corner hope he has a lovely day, enjoy your lunch out and family get together
So pleased to hear some better news from Kalu and also Urms, take care
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 0° and dry. It feels cold. Mizuna I'm sorry that you are so unwell. I hope you get better soon. Mick an excitement you could have done without!
Yesterday I went to dgs1's birthday party in the afternoon for an hour or so. He and his little brother had a good time. I enclose a photo of the cake which dd made for him. She made another one for a friend's boy last night. I think she is superwoman!
Today I'll make lentil soup -my favourite - and potter about. I'll visit mum this afternoon and show her the photos of the party. A quiet day ahead. Boeuf bourguinon for dinner. I made it in the slow cooker yesterday and it's very nice. Have a good day all

Brilliant cake Grandmabatty.Your daughter is very talented.

Also what a beautiful view you have Taichinan.

Good morning from a sunny but very frosty Essex coast. I don't envy DH going to his grandsons rugby this morning.
A casserole to prepare for dinner and will try to finish my latest book.
Football to watch this afternoon.
I hope you feel better soon Mizuna. Lovely news from Urms yesterday.
Enjoy Sunday everyone xx

Good morning all and it’s bright, Misty and frosty here in Essex.

Yesterday was very active in the garden with ds1 digging up old shrubs and Dh and me tidying up after him. I I said yesterday DS is very ‘gung Ho’ so a broken spade and cutters will need to be replaced 😳🤣🤣. Never mind , he does a good job. Next weekend we’ll go to the nursery to see what’s required for my garden makeover.

Today DD and little gd will come for lunch and we will spend the afternoon making and doing with craft and games. .

Mizuna let’s hope you can get home to your ‘cosy hub’. The overwhelming heat in the hospitals just make you feel worse.
💐.
Urms glad to hear you have some positive news, and of course wishing everyone else with worries has better news.

Beautiful pics Taichinan. Look at that perfectly blue sky, and what a view you have !

Take care all and enjoy the day . 🌷

Gala we had venison cooked in the slow cooker yesterday. Beautifully tender. Enjoy!

Morning from a chilly S Hants, rain later.
Happy birthdays to your men corner that photo must have cheered you.
🤞you’re allowed home today mizuna.
That sounds positive Kalu 6lb is a goodly amount.
The grandchildren are still asleep, not sure what time their Mum will be back today, we washed their school uniforms to help out. yesterday.
Stunning pictures Taichinan thank you.
🦩🦩

Good morning from Durham.
A cold day forecast and I’ve a sore throat and headache.
Think I’ll be meeting DD2 and DGS2 later, then walk her Little Dog before dark.
Good news Urms.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a frosty and sunny Suffolk but the blue of the sky here doesn’t rival yours Taichinan.

Very uplifting,Urms to hear how Himself is getting on and hope that others struggling with health problems are coping as well as possible and Mizuna is home by this time tomorrow.

Yesterday was such a glorious day and we enjoyed a walk with the dog on our local common with the cafe “Paws for tea”. Our little dog enjoyed her treats and we sat outside enjoying delicious mochas and scones.

I think we are expecting DS and family to pop over( his words…it is an hour’s journey) and we’ll have a walk before them.

Our snowdrops are now past their best but primroses are coming through more abundantly than ever.

Good morning all from a freezing foggy Black country.
Mizuna 🤞you can go home sometime today.
Happy birthday to Mr cornergran 🎂🍺.
Another quiet day here.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 3°C. I've spent the night hanging on to the edge of the bed to stop me falling out, with a knee in my back. Dollie has had a great sleep. 🤣

GM and empty here means having the house all to yourself, it is to be treasured, especially if you are a teenager and your parents are not present or your husband is golfing,

I'm sorry to hear to hear how unwell you are, Mizuna. Please take advice from your clinicians, breathing can deteriorate in minutes and please wait until you are stable..
Taichinan, I agree about speaking to your own GP. As soon as I heard my GPS voice, I felt a great sense of relief.
When I see a GP, who doesn't know me and they look at my record, the usual first comment is, Oh, there is an awful going on here!.

No plans for today, I'm struggling and the industrial strength antibioticsc are making me very nauseous. However, I did anticipate that, so I asked for anti nausea medication.
However, my chest is a bit less congested and they seem have targeted the UTI into the bargain. Result! Onward and upward.

Kalu, enjoy your time with your girls. Have a good day folks!

Aren't slow cookers wonderful Gingster. Chuck it all in, walk away & hours later something delicious emerges. Ooh yum, venison. It does come out a treat doesn't it.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to Mrcorner 🎂🎉🎉🍺

Happy birthday to MrCorner.

Hope Mizuna makes it home safely and that Marydoll enjoys the well slept Dollie. DD is with me which is great, but less great is that Olive the cat seems to have found her presence disturbing and went into full wild cat mode, looking like a Louis Wain drawing and yowling and hissing. We are ignoring her and hoping her calm self reappears but I have never seen a cat behave this way so am worried about her. Obviously not as settled as I thought she was.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny but frosty Carlisle.
It was a pleasant but very cold day yesterday. I drove out for the papers and some gravel from the garden centre. No gravel in stock but I did buy some little plants. They are starting to put out trays of seedlings ready for growing on so I will have to have a think about what I might need. I also got some nicely sprouting seedling potatoes, I'll give those a try this year.
Home to a chat with my next door neighbour and then by phone with my sister. A lazy afternoon followed which included more mattress research. I'll probably make a decision tomorrow once I've gone and bounced on a few.
It will be a paper reading morning today and then a trip to the hospital for a kidney scan this afternoon. It couldn't be a worse time, the appointment coinciding with afternoon visiting time, parking there is very problematic at the best times.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Mizuna, it will be good to be home again.

And have a pleasant Sunday all of you.

Morning all.
Quite an adventure for you yesterday Mick. Glad all was resolved safely.
A quiet day in store today. Church then a few small jobs when I get back, then feet up with a book, I think. However, it’s a bright, sunny start, so if it remains so, a walk will be in order.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Happy Birthday to MrCornergran
