Good Morning Friday 11th October 2024

Good morning, it’s a chilly 3° here in south Glos, frost on the cars and shed roofs. Beautiful aurora photos on the village facebook, I couldn’t capture any here.
A very restless night after a day of feeling like I had flu yesterday. I assume it was a reaction to my second shingles vaccination? The dog was very restless too which didn’t help, we set each other off!
A quiet day today, I will strip the bed and get the washing hung outside as it’s set to be sunny.
The dog walker will be here this morning, I will walk her later. DH is supposed to be back today but I haven’t heard from him 🙄. I assume he’s had a good time away.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning everyone from Essex, where it’s dry, sunny and calm, but with quite a sharp frost!
I had my Covid jab yesterday, so far I only have a stiff and sore arm and I hope that will be the only reaction.
mick I’m sorry you’re having health problems again and hope you are better soon.
Safe journey home bella, hope you find something to do in the time between vacating your apartment and catching your flight home.
A pile of ironing awaits, and perhaps some cleaning. The pest control man came yesterday and has dealt with my wasp problems 🤞. I have to check for further activity and report back to him on Monday. I didn’t see the aurora last night!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from damp South Lanarkshire.

Do try to see your GP Mick, these problems shouldn’t be ignored.

I’ve got the lurgy again so I’ll have to try not to pass it on to the children today.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's not raining.
I'm packing for a weekend in Newcastle and have a train to catch so should get going.

I was ceilidh dancing last night which was good fun.

I hope your bowel problems are
temporary Mick and settle down soon. I'm glad you aren't alone.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from Bristol. A gorgeous sunrise, very chilly with ice on car windscreens..
The avenue off which I live has quite a few Liquidambar trees,some burgundy, some green and a couple decked in scarlet. Fabulous.
A busy day, I’m off to Spanish soon, then go straight to DD’s for lunch before she goes to South Africa with Christian Aid. I’m extremely anxious as, by their very work, she will be taken to the dodgiest part of cities.
Carpe diem🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Krakow where it is damp and expected to rain.

So sorry you are still having problems Mick. I do hope you can get some help to relieve your issues.

Auschwitz yesterday was an overwhelming experience. We had a lovely guide who was so compassionate the way she delivered some truly dreadful facts. I am glad I went. Those poor tortured souls must never be forgotten.😞

Today we must vacate our apartment by 11 so will have a long day to fill in before our respective flights at around 9pm.

So sorry Marydoll is not well again. Sending my love and prayers for a speedy recovery. Also dear Kalu 💐

Belated happy anniversary wishes kitty.💝

DD2 and family have escaped any damage from the tornadoes which hit as a result of the hurricane. Her husband has been out helping neighbouring areas with the clean up as they were not as lucky.

Take care all, I hope you have a good day.☀️

Kitty belated Anniversary greetings, hope you had a lovely day.

MrOops has cancelled his morning appointment so I can breathe! He will go to the house and I will stay here and wait for my rides people to arrive, it was getting quite complicated.

It’s a dry day with a clear sky, the house was quite warm yesterday so he will pop over and wait for the Gas man. We we’re given a 4 hour slot yesterday, thank goodness MrOops took the phone number, he rang them and they said ‘sorry’ hmmmm.

Yes, happier now, no Vertigo for 6 days! Yaaaay

MissOops looking forward to moving into the house in November, a few bits to do in it, before the Winter. Nephew has moved into a rental about an hour away so she will have some breathing space and only herself and the dog to worry about.

Hope the poorlies soon feel better, let’s hope for a warm day.

Did anyone catch the Northern Lights last night? I didn’t but there are some lovely photos on our village FB page. I had an early night, too much excitement for me yesterday.

Good morning all from a chilly North Leicestershire.

Thank you for your good wishes on our anniversary.

Today I have shopping to do - the butcher's, Waitrose and Aldi. This afternoon I am hoping to see a neighbour for a cuppa and a catch up.

Good morning everyone from a still dark Northampton; a.fine sunny day is expected. Up earlier than usual as the DGDs are here, and have to make sure they are up in time for school. What a nice change it makes to have some company in the house!

We had a nice Bolognese for dinner last night, followed by warm chocolate fudge cake and ice cream. The.girls had sat and done their homework first, and then they took themselves off to bed at a suitable time, leaving me to watch 'All Creatures Great and Small'.

Dance classes this morning, then a fairly easy day. DGDs will be here again after school.

Hope.you feel better soon Mick. Take it easy.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and dry but rain is forecast. Mick I hope you get some help for your health issues. Oops best wishes to you. House moves can be stressful but exciting.
Yesterday I had a nice, quiet day. I pottered happily. I cleaned the bird bath and solar fountain, cleaned the kitchen and hoovered throughout then washed all the floors. My two orders didn't arrive though. One is telling me to wait til Saturday then get my money back. It's annoying because it was a Christmas present for dgs1. The other one has disappeared at the moment. Apparently, the aurora was very visible in our area, except where I stay. Too much light pollution I expect.
Today dd will pop in with dgs2 after playgroup for his bowl of soup. She and I enjoy a chat. Apart from that, I'll get washing done. Have a good day all

Good morning from a calm, dry Torbay.

I hope a day taking things quietly helps, Mick.

Yesterday, I made a determined effort to ditch unworn surplus summer clothes so there is less work involved in the seasonal change over. As an inveterate hoarder, that did not come easily but DH (also a hoarder!) kept me on track. We shall have several bags for the Salvation Army clothing bank on our theatre car park.

After that we enjoyed the reward of a meal at The Babbacombe Inn, where we found convivial company as a favourite member of staff was celebrating having a job taking bookings with Holland American Cruises. As she is Dutch, but with excellent English, she is an excellent choice.

The photo shows the calm sea and interesting clouds as we walked over the Downs.

Get well wishes to Marydoll and Kalu and others feeling unwell. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, dry and some sun later

Mick, I am hoping that the bowels calm down down quickly and you can get back into your normal going-out routine

Oops you sound so cheery now, it has been a long haul

Crafting, a walk and soup-making are planned for today, all enjoyable in different ways

Have a good day

Morning all

Hope you are able to see your GP or medical professionals to get some advice Mick

Oops fingers crossed your day goes to plan.

I need to move myself and cook the 9yr olds breakfast and make his packed lunch.

Gym thus morning, DH and I will wander down to the local Indian restaurant for dinner tonight.

Thinking of Marydoll and Kalu 🌸🌸

Have a good day 🙋‍♀️

Sorry to hear that Mick hope you get better soon.
Busy day yesterday cleared out poly tunnel a few tomatoes and courgettes. Trying to over winter beetroot.
Put plant containers in sheltered places. Hopefully all will survive winter.
Made soup will freeze some. Baked shortbread.
I surprised DD with all this activity.
Going out to day to pick up DH trousers they had to be shortened.
Again Mick take care will be thinking of you.
Have the best day everyone.

Sorry to hear about your bowel movements Mick hope it clears up soon.

It’s very dark and cold here on the east coast of Fife with rain expected later on. I felt cold throughout the night so I turned the heating up I’m so cosy now. I’m having a friend for lunch today and I’ll be finishing wrapping up my Christmas presents there will be no rushing about mad for me, it’ll all be done and dusted.

Enjoy your day everyone and try to keep safe

Hope you feel better soon Mick

Still very dark here in Oxfordshire, I’ve been awake since silly o’clock and have to go over to the house early to let in the Gas Man, we waited for an hour yesterday, then phoned to make sure he was definitely coming over to be told that he wasn’t, fingers crossed he arrives today.
I have to get straight back as my car is being valeted, so I hope there are no boiler problems. Just remembered that the window cleaner is also due so I’ll have to unlock the side gate before I go out.
MrOops arranges these things forgetting that he is also somewhere else!
Nice bottle of bubbly from the Estate Agents yesterday and a nice clean house, which helps.

MissOops is busy packing, nephew has moved out, things are starting to come together.

Have a good day everyone, hopefully it will be a dry sunny day.
Fingers crossed.
