Good Morning Saturday 5th October 2024

Good morning from a dry NE.
Yesterday's lunch out was not as enjoyable as the last time we ate there, everything is on the bone and charred. I ordered chicken and it was literally half a chicken on the plate. When we came to ordering dessert they didn't have what we wanted.
The wine was fine and we talked to the waiter, my friend asked where he was from as he was obviously not a local. The waiter said he was from Albania and was a qualified dentist but enjoyed working in hospitality. There is a great shortage of dentists in our area but he said there are more important things than money.
DS is coming this morning after dropping GD2 at school, it is open day and she will be showing round prospective pupils and parents. GD is a good ambassador for the school, she is not just academic but takes part in all sorts of extra curricular activities.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning all from the Black country.
Have been awake on and off since 4am, I think it was due the bump we had in the car yesterday playing on my mind. No injuries but slight damage to paintwork nearside.
We both had our flu jabs yesterday DH had the covid one as well, I declined as I was bad last year after I had it.
Will catch up with everybody's happenings later usual full English calling.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans ☀️.

A quick good morning from Krakow where it is lovely and cool!

Arrived late last night, Airbnb is ok but I’d rather be in a hotel if I’m honest. Never mind, my lovely friend and I haven’t stopped talking. It’s so nice to catch up, we’ve been pals since 1976 and she’s been such a rock through my many difficult times.

We are off to explore soon. Will read your posts later.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Another beautiful morning here in Málaga. Temperatures will climb to 32°C again today. Lovely.

Good morning everybody. We slept like logs again, nine hours in total. We will walk halfway to Arroyo (10minutes) to stretch our legs and have coffee and croissants in our favourite little bar/cafe opposite the police station - it’s very popular with them too!

Gardens this afternoon, then we are meeting neighbours who are over from Bognor Regis and we plan just to eat in Pedro’s together tonight. See pic.

I will ring both our girls this afternoon as it’s weekend. Be good to have a catch up see how their week has gone.

Oops we have a gym underneath us at home. I’ve managed never to cross the threshold. 🤣

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Looks like a lovely autumn day. Pity I'm in a zoom meeting all day. First to deliver flowers if the deer have left me any and a cake to the Town Hall for that coffee morning.
So glad your welfare is being looked after Mick.
I had a nice dinner party, just 3 of us last night putting the world to rights. I am hopeful that my lodgers will be back in their own home quite soon.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all. Quiet day planned with some afternoon tea meet up with some work friends. Been hectic week and the weather has turned colder here in the north. Asthma has started as the sun goes down right on time. I joke with hubby it’s time to draw down the hatches and start hibernating! Hate the cold! Have a good Saturday all.

Had my flu and covid jabs yesterday and by evening felt terrible. Disturbed night and feeling very sorry for myself this morning, so a low key day is inevitable with nobody to minister to me - have just pushed myself to make a mug of tea and feel as if I have climbed a mountain. Hope everyone else has a better day!

Lovely photo Grammaretto.
grandMattie ouch! 😱 no wonder you’ve lost your confidence dear lady. It’s been months now. I know we all hope to hear some good news from you soonest. At least your daughter is on the case with you.

Good morning everyone from a dull and overcast Northampton, at least it's dry and no rain forecast till tomorrow. I shall cut the back grass this afternoon.

Had three good dance classes yesterday morning and had coffee with a friend afterwards. Early dinner then out to an evening rugby match. We.had been asked to download an app onto our phones and when prompted in the stadium open the app as our team came out. and we had a wonderful light show as our phones responded to the music! Hope we do it again, it was lovely.

My team were rubbish in the first half and were several points adrift at half-time, but had come out like a different side in the second half - we held on, had some good tries and won by 4 points. Elation all round the stadium! I came home and watched the second half again!

Out to do my top-up shop this morning, plus coffee and a snack.

Hope Saturday is kind to all.

FGT2, is that pole for you to use (dancing)? 🤣

Good morning from a beautiful day in Suffolk. I think I’ll go out with DH for the dog walk soon. I haven’t had the energy because of this wretched cold since we got home from holiday on Tuesday.

It is the annual village Apple and pumpkin day in the hall and on the playing field. It is always a popular event with competitions for the largest pumpkin etc,freshly made apple juice from local apples and lots of activities for the children such a welly throwing. Local produce will be on sale with proceeds for the church.

It’s good it’s such a bright start to the day which will mean a very good attendance.

Old fashioned fun which must have been very common in rural communities years ago.

Good morning. Rather dull here in N. Bucks.
Busy day ahead. DD3 is away for the weekend so we are collecting youngest DGS. from Rugby Tots and taking him to a friends party. His Daddy will be with his older brother at football training.
This afternoon the boys ( plus SIL) have asked to go to the local nursery ( flower) to buy some bulbs and plants for heir garden tubs. They looked after the summer plants so well.
I expect they will come back to us for something to eat.

Wishing all a good day.

Ours will be 5 miles away!

I might need to pop into Greggs afterwards as my reward!

Morning from a dull South Lanarkshire, no rain predicted but the sky looks very heavy.

Lovely picture Grammaretto.

💐*Susan*, difficult times.

I hope you feel better as the day goes on GrannySomerset, it is hard feeling rotten when you’re on your own.

Preparation day here for some family coming for lunch tomorrow, I’m so lazy now, I much prefer to go to them but it will be good for me to rise to the occasion (I hope)!

Lots of difficulties around this morning so good wishes to all. I really hope all the suggestions from your team make a difference Mick

You’ve sussed me grandMattie. A side hussle as they say… only here in Spain.

Late again! But good morning to anyone still reading from a grey Angus coast. Horrible night of very little sleep, but that was in a way self-inflicted. As I was tidying up before bed I discovered I hadn't taken my BP pills that morning, so took them then. But one of them has 'a slight diuretic effect' and I was up and down to the loo like a demented yo-yo until about 4am. I'll not be doing that again!
Anyway I had a lovely lunch in a local hotel yesterday with my fellow tai chi instructors - three hours of chat and laughter. The hotel was my choice of venue because it is carpeted and curtained and makes hearing conversation a little easier - but the food wasn't as good unfortunately.
Anyway, after all the faffing about this past week I am now set for a quiet weekend. I haven't read any of your posts yet so that will be my treat for later. All of you with problems of one sort or another are in my thoughts and I hope all the holiday makers are enjoying their time away.
Have a good weekend x

I do read the posts later Taichinan

Recently you described yourself as a gt gt grandmother. I am sure that's not true! You added an extra great. I am sure you are great in every sense of the word.
