Good Morning Friday 1st March 2024

Morning all and big fluffy white rabbits from a torrentially raining West Oxfordshire!
It is the monthly WI coffee morning. We usually meet in the local coffee shop but every few months we have what we call a travelling coffee shop. Today we are going to a nearby pottery which apart from having delicious cakes, has a wonderful shop!
I very nearly finished removing the cement from my stained glass piece yesterday but there is still more to remove. I will take it to a picture framer next week. I could try making one myself - there are dozens of YouTube videos - but I think I would botch it.
Have a good day, especially those of you who are suffering.

Good morning everyone from Belfast
It's dark and windy no rain as yet.
Cat fed but she's looking more.
Have to go out today running out of bread.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it is damp and 16°C.

Mizuna happy birthday to your DD, I hope she will be better soon.

It’s also my DD2’s 40th birthday today. Can’t believe how fast the time has gone, nor that she has now spent half her life away from home living in the USA. I remember every detail of the day she was born. Happy days.

I’m with the boys who are their usual sweet selves although littlest one has had his mum up and down in the night so I expect an early nap will be in order!

Take care all and I wish you a good day.☀️

Good morning from a wet, windy Cornwall where I'm texting my daughter who is in a hospital bed on the Wirral on her 45th birthday! She has a raised heartbeat so was admitted yesterday. Being blind she'll find it fascinating. Apparently someone snored all night. 😁 She hurriedly packed a bag before going to A&E and included my present, a big box of Hotel Chocolat mini Easter eggs. She was born weighing 2lbs and not expected to live so I always rejoice on this day in my heart.

Today I'll venture to the beach and breathe the air and have a coffee at the beach café.

Good morning from South Lanarkshire. It’s still dark and I’m not sure what the weather is like but I don’t hear rain or wind so that’s good.

Off to childmind and for the first time in ages we need to leave quite early as DDoutL has changed her working hours.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a dark, frosty South Yorkshire. Had a really good walk with the Thursday group yesterday, but it told on my legs later. I called in on my niece on the way home and then went to pick up my new glasses which I’m pleased with, though it will take a while to get used to the driving prescription. It’s quite strong. Posts going in for the new garden fence this afternoon, so the place will look a mess for a while.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning, I’ve been awake for some time, the wind and lashing rain on the windows woke me up.
I’ve signed up for an art journalling course, online, something I’ve been looking at for a while. I know very little about it so something new to try.
I hope it’s not going to pour down all day, the dog has the dog walker this morning, DD is driving over from Wales for the weekend and I will get very wet going to the surgery for my heart failure review.
I can’t believe how much rain we’ve had, everything is beyond sodden around here now. The lawn squelches when you walk on it!
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning from the South Downs - where I am awake at this ungodly hour because I’m taking my sister to have a cataract removed today. She has to check in by 8.30 and with the morning traffic we thought we had better leave loads of time.

mick is is very disconcerting to hear of people dying from cancer, I felt the same after I had begun to recover from my experience with it. As time goes on though you regain your confidence.

Another day of unremitting rain, so will do some houseworking stuff - not too much and then find something more enjoyable, whilst waiting to hear from my sister to return her home. She has had so much to put up with this autumn/winter - hopefully after her next eye gets done she will have a spring/summer of recovery.

Enjoy your day people .

Peace and harmony to the world.

White rabbits 🐇🐇🐇 and happy St. David’s day to all you Welsh people out there.
It’s cold and very wet here in Bristol, and I really don’t want to go out 🙁
The commissioned quilt has been received and the lady delighted, thank goodness.
I watched “Roman Holiday” the other day. It enchanted me, I had forgotten what a sweet story it was.
I had a lovely evening with the family; even Iris behaved her self, without the usual tantrums and door slamming. I find that very wearing.
Today, other than Spanish, I’m going with a church lady to a “famous” fabric shop somewhere out of town. I may have been told where…. It is closing down because the owners don’t want to carry on, and there are no buyers. No doubt, I shall spend a fortune and fill up my already full stash!
Carpe diem, dear virtual friends 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from s somerset. The rain battering my window woke me up and is set to rain all day

Ash, I wish you all the best, sorry about the tia and I am also angry that you have not been properly diagnosed due to lack of medical care.

I need some minor shopping today, shall try and pick my moment, in between the expected heavy showers. I am trying to keep downstairs resonably tidy so have put most hobby stuff away for now. I am not tidy when I am engrossed

Have a good day
