Good Morning Monday 15th April 2024

Good morning Mick. Good morning All from a cloudy West Cheshire.
Very happy birthday 🥳 grandMattie wishing you a lovely day full of fun and laughter, cuddles and cake.
Same to you Gala, hope it’s a good ‘un.
I’ll take some of that sunshine Pant and happily exchange for some overnight rain.
Off to Chester in a mo for a bit of a wander along the Roman walls followed by lunch at a canal side pub.
Wishing you all the best of days

Happy Birthday Gala 🎂🎉🥂

We have two builders here, they are in the process of covering all of the flooring in hall stairs and landing which is rather a puzzle as the hall floor is coming up 🤷‍♀️

It doesn’t seem like only five and a half years we had all this work done (unsuccessfully). I do remember threatening the stragglers that they would be wearing fairy lights if they were still here the second week of December 🤣

Good morning from a very windy NE after overnight torrential rain.
Quiet day yesterday with no contact from anyone.
Today I will do some laundry but it will not be going on the line, can't cope with wind.
Happy Birthday grandMattie and Gala
Glad you enjoyed the ballet Ashcombe.
Have a good day all.

Happy Birthday, Gala. Have a good one.

Good Morning , the sun is shining, making the raindrops on the plants shine like fairy lights
Nothing on today , we might take a trip to Lakeland to find out what we didn’t know we desperately needed 😁
Happy Birthday to the Birthday ladies

Happy birthday Gala

Happy Birthday grandMattie and Gala 💐🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and all from a bright but very gusty northwest coast.
Quite a long day yesterday running through my programme with pianist. We need another couple of rehearsals. After that we enjoyed an excellent roast at his local pub.
I caught the train back and picked up a bag of books etc I had bought in the city halfway on the journey in a pub, very pleased to have them as I left them there weeks ago.
I had two glasses of red wine with our meal and as I don’t drink now, I feel the effects🙄

Happy birthday to the birthday girls and thoughts to all with troubles 🌺

Good morning all from a sunny and very windy Angus coast. No sitting out in the warm sun here - that gusty wind is blasting all the 'sit-ooteries' and taking away all the warmth from the sun.
Sorry I've been away. From time to time I become very depressed and just close in on myself. I know I shouldn't be like that as I am physically fit and well - but try telling that to my mind at times such as those! Anyway it has lifted now thank goodness. Nothing that a brain transplant wouldn't cure 😉
Happy Birthday wishes to both Grandmattie and Gala - enjoy your day, both of you.
Ash how lovely to see your little DGD dancing with the English Ballet - I can well understand your pride! And so glad you have been cleared to drive again!
Mizuna I hope you're enjoying your little break away - you are such a resourceful and up-beat lady.
I hope your time in the dentist's chair isn't too bad Bellasnanna - soon be over.
Mick you kept that quiet! Those Wiltshire Farm Foods really are so good! While I was 'down' an offer for '5 meals for £15' came in the post so I ordered them. I've had three so far and they are really tasty. I now have their full catalogue (wow!) and my next order has been put in. Yes, I know it's lazy - I'm more than capable of cooking my own meals - but it's such a pallaver for one person, and my stamina now doesn't extend to big cook-ins for the freezer. (That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it 😉😁)
I had a lovely face time with my (almost) five-month-old great grandson the other day. What a darling he is, and so like his daddy and grandpa. And his grandpa (my DS1) is the image of my grandfather, so it's wonderful to see that likeness passing down through the generations! Living history.
Today lots of little tasks - but it may be that some will wait a little longer 😉. However this cool wind is making me think a pot of leek and potato soup will be just the thing for lunch, so that will be task no 1.
Enjoy all your gardens and trips and workmen today everyone. And enjoy that lovely warm sunshine Pantglas.

Taichinan my sympathy is with you, you could be describing me. I’m hoping spring and some sunshine will help. 💐

Taichinan I'm sorry that you have been down. It's such a curse, isn't it? Scotland is dark for so long, and often grey too, which doesn't help. 💐

Taichinan I’m sorry that you have been feeling so low.Good to see you feel well enough to post today💐

Fellow sufferer here so my sympathies, Taichainan. Knowing one is comparatively fortunate doesn’t help so it’s more a case of keeping on keeping on until the worst passes.

Sending you a virtual hug Taichinan. Glad to hear you’re starting to feel more yourself again. I can only imagine how awful the ‘Black Dog’ curse must be for sufferers.

Thank you everybody for your kind words and for fellow sufferers. Black Dog it certainly is. But there's always a bright side, and this time it is Wiltshire Farm Foods 😉
