Good Morning Saturday 15th March 2024

Good morning from a frosty NE but the sun is shining.
Yesterday I hoovered the upstairs and cleaned the bathrooms then retired to the study to do some paperwork.
Sister and BIL will visit this afternoon and so will DS and GD2. GD is going to France next week on a school trip so I will give her some pocket money in Euros.
Have a good day.

Good morning from another sunny day in the Canary Islands, anothe day of not doing very much. I have books! And we have food in the fridge.

Very scary what has happened to GM, I will have to stress to MrOops that he runs anything to do with banking through me, it’s so easy to fall for an email or a phone call from your ‘bank’ and he doesn’t always seem to be on the alert.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞Northampton. Just sitting with a cat on my lap, a mug of tea and waiting for DGD2 to surface so that I can do breakfast. Sausage butty has been promised.....

We had a good time at the rugby last night, although it was bitterly cold. DGD2 enjoyed chips, DD and DS-in-law bought food as they had not had time to cook. We were rewarded with a win 24-10, and lots of the younger players had a run-out. Hot chocolate the order of the day when we got home!

Once DGD has gone home later I need to pop to M&S to pick up an order, then an afternoon of rugby on TV.
Steak for dinner tonight.
Hoping that grandMattie/gets sorted soonest.

Good morning from a bright Suffolk with sun promised later. Yesterday was a glorious day with non stop sunshine until a sudden but brief shower in the early evening.

The rooks are very busy,and noisy,building new nests. There were about a dozen in 4 elm trees last year but,for some reason,only about 4 survived. From a rough count yesterday there will be at least as many as last year when this frenzy of activity is finished. The birds work all day from sunrise it seems until sunset and there seems to be some collaboration going on.

Watching them is my excuse for a large pile of ironing awaiting attention which I might,or should,get round to dealing with today.

Thinking of gM and others with worries of any sort.

Frosty and sunny in Co Durham.

I look after our finances and live in fear of being scammed.
I hope gm is getting the support she needs from her Bank.

Quiet day here. Exercise bike this morning then reading and crosswords for me. I may, like urms make a stew for dh to keep him fed as I’m off to the NW next week for four days. For the second time in five weeks!
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

Wishing the best for grandMattie.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Thinking of grandmattie during this worrying time and hope things get resolved.

Usual housework yesterday followed by lunchtime recital, very good pianist but very small turn out in a lovely church. I give a recital myself there soon so hope for a better turn out. We did aboriginal style artwork in art group in the morning, but it’s not my style and I’m not impressed by my handiwork.

DD arrives from the south today for a few days so really looking forward to that, I always worry about her driving these long distances but she takes it in her stride.
Gardener due and I certainly need the help and some jet washing.
Thoughts to all with worries 🌺

Thinking of gMattie and hoping for news of Marydoll this morning. Nothing planned for today though must put some petrol in the car as I am transport for a couple of events next week. Overslept after a very poor night so am all at sixes and sevens this morning - it’s as well I have nothing particular to do.

Good morning Mick and all. It's a glorious morning here on the Angus coast where the sun is shining from wall-to-wall blue skies and the early frost is fast disappearing. I'm glad we have bad weather (the past two days have been awful) so that appreciation of days like these is all that much greater 😉
I remember my experience of (almost) being scammed like grandmattie - I was just one click away from signing over my money when something made me draw back. I felt for days after as if I had been physically assaulted and really quite sick. And that's without anything having happened! Since then I never answer the phone to a number I don't recognise and nothing would induce me to sign over any money. It was a lesson learnt for sure.
Today I plan to suss out a new Farm Larder just three miles from here. I've been meaning to do so for ages, but it is in the opposite direction to town and I forget to go there. Today is the day!
I had another visit from Dancing GD on Thursday as she was killing time before her placement with a dance class for under privileged people in the next town. She's so near the end of her degree course now and I'm beginning to feel concerned that she doesn't seem to be doing anything about finding work when she has finished, or even to know in what direction she wants to go. She just knows she doesn't want to go on and do her Masters. Unless she asks me for advice, though, I am not interfering - not that I think I have any worthwhile advice to give anyway. But it is so lovely having these afternoons together, just the two of us. Love her to bits.
I hope Marydoll's consultation has yielded at least some better pain relief, and that all others with their crosses to bear feel relief in the sunshine.
Have a good day all x☀️🦋

Good morning on saturday 16th March. I know that is the date because it is my husbands birthday today. Lovely and sunny here and hope it remains like that for the rest of the day. Love to all.

Popped in on my “lunchbreak”.
*grandmattie”, hope you are getting the help you deserve.
I am sitting in the sun in my winter jacket listening to the birds.
Urmstongran My DH packed me off for a week alone to our favourite place when I had been unwell. I sat in the sun, read and slept. I hope your trip recharges your batteries. We obviously have good DHs.

Happy Birthday to MrPurpleixie 🎉🎂🍺
