Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark with signs of a wet night here in brackley.
Today I will hopefully get the bus to Bicester and plan to meet others I know.
On the health front , will stick to the plan suggested by the nursing team at the JR.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning. As Mawsays rain but very little wind here in N. Bucks at the moment.
Had to take my new varifocal glasses back yesterday. The reading part needs to be changed .
I tried on 5 pairs of jeans yesterday all supposed to be the same size and design. 2 pairs were too small, one fitted perfectly and 4 were too big ! So frustrating.
This afternoons sewing club has been cancelled due to a couple of members having Covid and several others having been in contact. Plenty of things craft type things for me to do at home with no interruption as DH is away to a charity golf day.
Thinking of all who are poorly or troubled and hope MD will be able to post today.

Good morning from cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Photo from yesterday’s very pleasant walk in the woods, daft dug was in heaven.

Happy anniversary Kitty.

I must do some light housework today and possibly even a spit of ironing before I go out dog walking.

Yarn group this evening.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from a wet and fairly quiet NE. My weather app suggests wind speeds of 13943, goodness me I am going to be blown to Kingdom come 😲
I have a sore throat and runny nose, that will be GD1's cold she had on Saturday when she visited from University. A duvet day beckons.
Stay dry and safe.

Yes my bbc weather app says 13505 and hurricane winds. Surely this is an error?

Liberty Thu 10-Oct-24 08:02:41

Good morning from sunny Suffolk with no wind in spite of the BBC app stating winds all day of 1169!

I had a meeting in Ipswich yesterday and decided to travel by train rather than car. I had to be at the station for the 7.58 train. It is ages since I’ve been out so early and had forgotten how busy everywhere was with people travelling to work and schools.

I’m going to my stretch class soon after having missed 2 because of our holiday and my cold. I suspect I’ll feel the effects tomorrow if not today.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Happy Anniversary Kitty enjoy the day today and the celebrations next week 💐🥂❤️
Hoping all goes well holly
A busy day ahead, I’ve got a volunteering session early afternoon then we’re picking up DGD from school and she’s coming back here for a sleepover.
Have a wonderful holiday llfl and looking forward to hearing all about it
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from Durham. Wait a minute …. It’s stopped raining! The wind forecast here is from the Arctic - lovely, not. I hope to get DD2’s laundry dry outside, it’s only breezy here as yet.

Coffee this morning with a friend, then I need to take DD2’s LittleDog out for a walk - I’ll try to find somewhere less soggy.
I hope any medical procedures go ahead successfully today and fingers crossed, we hear from MaryD
Best wishes to all. X

Happy Anniversary, Kitty and Mr L!💐🥂
Hollysteers hope it goes well💐

Good morning Mick and all. It's a showery sunny start to the day on the Angus coast BUT I've just looked at my BBC weather app and see we're forecast hurricane force winds from the north-east! Never seen that before - but it's certainly breezy.
Mick I'm so glad you're taking the advice from the JR team - I'm sure you'll feel better for it.
I haven't read any posts yet (except Mick's) as I'm in a rush this morning as I've a few things to get done before tai chi. One of those things is hanging out the washing in the hurricane force wind - so wish me luck with that!
I hope you all have the best of days and the weather is kind to you wherever you are. Marydoll flowers

Good morning everyone. We will be homeward bound later, off to the airport at lunchtime. Home by teatime (because of the hour back).

We had black storm clouds over the mountains yesterday evening. I even wore my denim jacket for the first time since arriving when we went down to eat. Here it came to nothing but I’ve just read this in the ‘Sur’:

“ The strong gusts of wind associated with storm Kirk in the north of Spain today have forced 41 flights to be cancelled, while 23 journeys have been diverted, as aircraft have been unable to land at their intended destination.”

It was northern Spain (Madrid, Santander) apparently.

The sun is shining here again!

Good morning from a sunny Perth. We enjoyed our visit to Perth Museum yesterday, the presentation of The Stone of Destiny is very well done. Today we are off to The House of Bruar, I keep viewing the cord trousers in the catalogue and now I can view them for real!!
Happy Anniversary Kitty
Happy holiday llfl
Best wishes for the op Holly
Also hoping Marydoll is in touch soon
Best wishes to all

Update on our hurricane - BBC Weather is experiencing a glitch!!

Good morning from a cloudy but increasingly brightening Black Country.

Enjoyable morning yesterday at the Birmingham meet up. As Monk says, good to put faces to names and to meet familiar faces too, and great to meet you Monk.

Over to Mums today, as she is having her first Meals on Wheels delivery and I want to be there. It is a free trial meal. Fingers crossed she likes it. Will take her down to the Charity shop afterwards, as I have a bag of clothes to donate.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning all from a fairly dark but dry day here on the east coast of Fife,

I made delicious lentil soup yesterday with a ham hough and believe it or not spent ages wrapping my Christmas presents. There won’t be any mad dashing about at the last minute in this house.

I’m having my hair done today and I’ve a new gardener coming to give my lawn it’s last cut of the year

Enjoy your day my friends as best you can

Bonnybanko

A special good morning to you Bonnybank from the East Coast of Fife. Can you tell me where you managed to secure a Ham Hough from? Morrrisons have them occasionally.

grandMattie Thu 10-Oct-24 08:43:27

My word, some winds are being forecast! It is perfectly still ATM.
I have lived through winds over 120 mph as a youngster but never 4951 mph as poor Maw is about to experience. No chance of any building surviving that!!! 🤣🤣🤣

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Thu 10-Oct-24 08:45:19

Have a great holiday LLFL you’ll be flying out as I’m flying in! Hollysteers hope your op goes well with a good result. Happy anniversary to the Lesters sure romance will be in the air today. Oops exciting times ahead, best wishes to you both hope your new abode brings much happiness and luck. Bellasnana such a poignant post from you. I hope your fears stay unfounded, the boys are better soon. I’m sure the tears will flow today. Let them. It shows you’re human.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 10-Oct-24 08:49:22

Good morning from a beautifully sunny Glasgow where it is 3 deg.
A busy day today . A charity coffee morning which I was helping at yesterday raised a magnificent £2000!
Some bits and pieces of bric a brac left over to be taken to the charity shop this morning.
I am off to the Guild this afternoon and line dancing tonight so all go go go! My tongue will be getting lots of exercise!
Hoping that Marydoll is ok 💐and all others with worries get through the day ❤️

I got a quick news flash on the iPad saying “We are having problems with our weather app” - I’ll say!
