Good Morning Monday 22nd July 2024

Happy birthday Gingster 🎉💐🎂.

Greyduster, 💐

Good morning all from a drizzly Glasgow, where it is currently 12°C.

DH is of course golfing, the only thing that would prevent him golfing is a nuclear bomb going off!

My cough is at almost breaking the sound barrier level (so embarrassing) and I feel out of sorts again, but the weekday sacristan is on holiday and I said I would cover this morning. I don't like letting people down, so I shall go and do what needs done. Anyway, it means I am too busy to wallow.
Not intending to do much when I return, apart from some sewing jobs and attempting to dehydrate my chillies, I will be resting.. Why are voluminous sleeves so fashionable at present? They make me look as wide as I am tall.🤣

Have a good day folks, GM enjoy your party and good wishes to all who are struggling.

Sorry you feel so poorly Greyduster rest as much as you can, and drink plenty of fluids 👍

Good morning Michael and all GNs. A good covering of cloud in South Yorkshire, in for the day. I feel absolutely awful at the moment and I hope I’m wrong but ithink I may finally have come down with Covid. No way to test but it feels like far more than a common cold. I shall set the Guinea pig up in the garden for the day soon and then come back to bed and try and sleep. What a waste of a day but I haven’t the energy to do anything else.
Have the best day you can folks.

A sudden leak from a bathroom yesterday means I need to be on the phone to a plumber first thing. This is a second and different leak and the recently painted kitchen ceiling looks awful again. I could weep but it wouldn’t help. Hope the solution doesn’t involve major upheaval!

Morning all, there is some blue in the sky, and the sun is hiding behind the numerous clouds.

Gym this morning, then I will take the teen GC home as DS and wife are flying back this afternoon.

Happy Birthday dear Gingster enjoy your special day 🥂🎂🍾🎉

Sat553 I hope you are enjoying your adventure along the Thames.

Have a great day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Our cleaners will be here before 9 and I need to finish off a gooey chocolate cake for our carers thus afternoon.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry with some light grey clouds
We had a really enjoyable day family get together yesterday with both DDs and my 4 DGC all getting on together well. More of the same today, we’re heading off out somewhere with a picnic lunch so hoping it stays dry
Enjoy your class Ash even if it is seated!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

Light rain is expected later. I hope it’s not too much as OH has got U3A croquet this afternoon.

Our cleaner is coming later. I must do a Waitrose shop. The cupboard is nearly bare as OH didn’t shop much when I was in Helsinki last week.

We watched a ‘live’ performance of Present Laughter with Andrew Scott at the cinema yesterday. It was very good. We returned home to news that Biden had stood down!

Have a good day, especially those of you with worries or concerns.

Good morning in a grey and starting-to-drizzle Lancs. So much for the "Summer!"

Good morning from dry s somerset

I did a couple of bits on my coat yesterday and the stitch ripper was out again, it is hard to see the stitches to take out so I am working slowly. I started the hood and my zip has arrived. It is so nice to have this slow steady sewing, I tend to go up between 8 and 9 and potter in my sewing room before bed. No screens and I sleep better

Today will definitely include some gardening and harvesting and juice-making from my own veg

Have a good day

Good morning from Cornwall where it's misty which makes my patio look mysterious and inviting. The gulls are surprisingly quiet, phew. Yesterday I tackled a large denim patchwork throw which I've made and needed tweaking. I added scraps of lace to pretty it up a bit. Today will be a trip to the doctor's to discuss my knee progress, then coffee at Wetherspoons, a visit to the library and some basic shopping.

Good morning from a grey Bristol. We are promised showers before it clears.
I hope your joints behave and manage to cope with your exercise class, Ash. Growing old is not for sissies!
I have a load of washing in the machine, ready for the line. I need to get ready to go away for a couple of days en famille with my offspring and DGC. SiL can’t come, work!
I’m baking all morning for my church “Singles afternoon” tomorrow - rather made a rod for my own back.
In the afternoon, I’m going to the OAP film show in the church hall - Darjeeling Express, then immediately on to one of the residents’ 100th birthday party. Interestingly, the family has invited only a handful of residents; I’m one of the favoured! As no presents were requested, we have had a collection to pay for her newspaper for X number of days… I shall offer her my time, which is so precious when when one lives alone.
I hope that everyone has a good week. Remember to make that random act of kindness. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a dull but close Torbay after a mixed day yesterday which warmed up eventually.

After a long gap for various reasons (being away then the teacher taking a holiday) I shall be back to the Move It Or Lose It class today. I might have to resort to taking part whilst seated, depending on how my grumpy ankle and knee behave.

I hope this is the start of a good week for all, especially those who are suffering, with blue skies for those on holiday. 🦩💐😎🥰🦩
