Good morning from a grey and rainy NE.
Got all the washing done and ironed yesterday, thankfully didn't hang it outside as we had frequent showers.
My hairdresser is coming this morning and then I will have a day to myself probably with my novel.
SIL is collecting his new car today, I will be his first passenger tomorrow.
Have a great holiday FGT

Morning from a grey S Hants, welcome back Susan56 good to see you.
Safe travels llfl and I hope the funeral passes smoothly.
It was dull most of yesterday until late afternoon when the sun peeked out, usual housework. We came third at quiz last night thanks to my daughter who smashed the music round.
We’ll set off later to Worthing, coats will be taken as tomorrow it’s getting colder, windy later today, we’re by the sea, so it’ll be bracing.

What a stunning venue glammagran! Beautiful.

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire. It’s very bright and breezy now but the wild weather overnight kept me awake.

Good to see you back Susan. Glad your tests went well Ash.
Beautiful wedding venue Glammagran.

I got a fair amount of domestic duties done yesterday so I’m feeling quite virtuous now.

The ironing pile hasn’t gone down though so I’ll try to gee myself up to make a start on that.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all and it’s dull with a chilly breeze here in Suffolk. The sea is high and a steel grey.
So we’ll have a blowy walk with the dog and a bit of tidying in the garden, plant some bulbs, then settle down with books and papers for the afternoon. I’ll sit in the summerhouse with a blanket listening to the radio and watching the sea change form and colour. A couple of days ago it was a turquoise green and very clear.

The season is changing so quickly.

Welcome back Susan 👋.
Sounds like a lovely wedding, Glammagran.
Take care and I hope you all have a good day. 🌻

Good morning all from an overcast Black country.
Haven't read through yet I'm running late and have a early appointment with the bank, ironing to do on my return.
fgt2 have a lovely holiday and bring some sunshine back with you.
Safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed ☀️.

Susan56 Tue 10-Sept-24 08:36:52

Thank you for the lovely welcome back messages🥲

Good morning all. A lovely sunny autumn morning - 11° and a brisk breeze on the Angus coast. It feels chilly.
Lovely to see you back Susan!
Oh that looks so lovely FGT. Have a wonderful time.
Lovely photos of the reception venue glammagran. Glad you all had a great day
So glad your bloods came back showing nothing untoward Ash.
RosesandLilac at last!! I hope you will hold a Grand Opening of the summer house! Enjoy it - it's been such a long frustrating wait.
Yes, I think it is probably a 'boy thing's - I can remember one of my DSs had a great attachment to his poo but can't recall any issues with any of the girls.
DGD3 completed her first night shift last night - there was a lovely pic of the sunrise over the hotel waiting for me this morning, so I know she survived!
While she was busy working I was busy being awake - dreadful night's sleep after an early disturbing dream and I feel good for nothing today. But tai chi here I come!
Enjoy your days everybody and make the most of the autumnal beauty around us. 🍂 🍁 ☀️

Raining and much more forecast but as I am going to the supermarket and then out for lunch it doesn’t really matter. It definitely looks and feels like autumn.

Lovely to see Susan posting, as well as a beautiful wedding venue, news of a possibly completed summerhouse, and serious ironing intentions. Safe travel to all in the move.

Good morning from an overcast south coast. We came back from the Isle of Wight yesterday afternoon. Our last visit in the morning was to be to The Poo Museum at Sandown (DH’s idea) but it was unexpectedly closed - I can’t say I was sorry …..
It’s definitely a ‘boy thing’Georgesgran and Granmabatty!
So I popped in to a glass-blowing studio and naturally bought a couple of lovely items as a momento of our little holiday.
Hoping for a gentle day for all, especially those with difficulties and sadness.

Goodness it’s cooled down this week! Good morning all from N Bucks.
Taking a friend out for coffee along with 2 others as it’s her 84th birthday 🥳 🎂 then I think I might be pessimistic and sort out some summer clothes I fear I am unlikely to wear again this year and put them to one side.
Wishing FGT and anybody still or going away happy hols and a pleasant day to you all.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a very wet Carlisle. However, the sky is blue on the far horizon so it may turn out like yesterday when it was sunny by mid-morning.
Busy-ness wise it will be as yesterday for me--a morning of various chores followed by an afternoon of admin and holiday researching. I may also start back on the project of reviewing books for disposal to the charity shop. A whole bookcase full has gone so far. There is also the garden to attend to if it dries up sufficiently, I have a bag full of bulbs to plant amongst other jobs.

Do have a good day/travels/holidays everyone.

Good morning ick and all from a blustery northwest coast. Frustrating day yesterday, eventually going in to the dentist to find they have not referred me to the hospital for my surgery as requested by the initial hospital applied to. More bother today to chase it up. However, have been put on the short notice waiting list for my hernia op, so that’s good news as it could happen maybe in a few weeks.

Cheered myself up with a delicious tuna melt panini in my favourite cafe, followed by a little shopping (when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping).
Long FaceTime with sister in the south in the evening.
Music club today and DS coming this evening, I have two nice lamb steaks awaiting him.

Lovely photos, good news Rosesandlilac and hello Susan🌺

Good morning from s somerset, grey with some rain later

I was up as usual, internet was down, internal problem, now sorted

Two Indian fabric lengths are out, I am pleased to be helping to support artisan villagers. Beady eye on the weather, at least they will be wind-blown if not quite dry. I will need to finish drying indoors today

Tomato sauce made yesterday, 13 meal sizes frozen, all from my own outdoor tomatoes, frozen as they ripened. Nice to get up to a tidy kitchen, I have been making an effort before bed, every day

Kimchi-making this afternoon, long session of slicing, grating and chopping but I am making a large jar again, the last one only has a few more portions left. I keep it in the fridge once fermented. I love it, mine is not too hot

Have a good day

A later good morning from a grey Northampton, outlook not good. Late because I slept until 8.45 this morning! And the cat has been sitting on my knee as usual for half an hour so unable to post using my Kindle tablet. She has just retired to the arm of the sofa and is having a wash and brush-up.

A good yoga class yesterday, then three of us went for coffee in the newly opened cafe just round the corner.
Cut the back grass after lunch, and spent the rest of the afternoon reading.

It will be an early lunch today then a hop on the bus to get to the start point for our Tuesday walk. May cut the front grass when I get back.

Lovely to see Susan back posting!

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from cold, wet Lancaster. I had a restless night and am struggling to keep awake.

Happy Tuesday 🌺

Good morning from a bright cool Co Armagh, there was rain in the night
I got word from the surgery to ring them , yesterday morning , my ear spray to be stopped and to use drops , no reason given , the infection has cleared and I have stopped the spray anyway
Anyway , the very pleasant lady on the phone told me prescription had been sent to our local pharmacy for me to collect !
Off I trotted in the afternoon, to be met by blank faces !
I’ll try again later today
At least I can get the aids back in my ears , I don’t realise how much they help till I have to do without them !
Thinking about Marydoll and others with sadness

good morning to Mick and all GNs, from a very breezy but dry north yorks.. Very late morning as yesterday was at the dentist and generally a tough day which meant my back was very bad . Consequently poor night etc. So today just want to get things cleared up here, so plod on with basics and take it sterady. Have a good day everyone

Tizliz Tue 10-Sept-24 13:21:03

Am I the furthest north? North of Inverness. Though I have been on Gransnet for many years I have never posted on this thread before.

Wet, windy, cold here then the sun comes out to tempt me into gardening then rains again

monk08 Tue 10-Sept-24 14:02:09

Welcome Tizliz👋 and welcome back Susan56
