Good Morning Monday 21st October 2024

Good morning from a dry and calm Torbay.

The worst of the latest storm largely passed us by. Reading some of the earlier posts today makes it sound horrendous elsewhere. I hope no damage has been suffered.

Beautiful photos, Whitewavemark2!

A day and night of coughing has left me worn out! Another friend and I had hoped to visit a member of the Props team today who is still in hospital, nearly four weeks after her cancer diagnosis. It’s out of the question now as I dare not risk her catching this. Thank you for the get well wishes yesterday.

A good week is wished to you all. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, might be dry today and sunny this afternoon, I hope so

I don`t see dust on the skirtings so I never dusted them, no doubt running a finger along would gather dust but who cares. Out of sight, out of mind. No housework yesterday apart from the daily routine stuff. I forgot to listen to the archers but good, that might be done today, unless I am concentrating again

I have started a new intricate jumper knitting pattern, no being quick with this as it is top down with german short rows as well as blocks of pattern. I am using my own spun yarn, It is beautiful, so even, soft and neat, 3 ply but woollen-spun ie more lofty. My stash is saving me a fortune

Today I am finally getting rid of two large indoor plant pots, self-watering so are bigger. The plants in them are past their best and they don`t give me that Marie Kondo happy feeling any more. Every bit of de-cluttering helps

I want to sort a better system for storage of my many fixed circular needles. I need better, easier, labelled access. More money but what the heck, I spent enough this weekend on beautiful tactile storage for my many chiaogoo interchangeables.

A walk as soon as possible, past a mill stream that is now loud and rushing, mucky underfoot as the water is only evaporating slowly off the tarmac, which is lumpy and broken as befits an old town

Have a good day

Good morning from sunny northern Spain.
Yesterday was packed full. First we went to Santillana del Mar, reputed to be the prettiest town in Spain. The golden sandstone are frozen in XVIIc. We had more time than usual and pottered through the church cloisters also found an improbable exhibition of embroidered Chinese silk vestments.
Next to the reproduction Altamira caves. I was disappointed by them as they were not guided and are much, much smaller than the Lascaux caves.
I wasn’t looking forward to going to the Cabarceno safari park but , as the site is so enormous in a vast disused opencast mine, the animals had plenty of space to roam.
Today, we’re off to the Picos de Europa, a long journey from here. Hope the weather holds.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

One more😊

Good morning from a quiet dry South Downs. What a contrast in weather we are having! The photos show autumn colour last Friday, which was the most beautiful autumn day you could wish for. Compare that to our weather yesterday, which will have brought all the leaves from the Hickory tumbling down. Blink and you will miss that glorious yellow. It was green last week and turned to yellow during the week - now is gone.

Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony

Good morning from a still dark NE where it has been windy all night, so ad I had to wear earplugs to get some sleep.
Been awake since 4.30am with a sore arm where I had my covid and flu vaccinations.
Yesterday was very emotional. After dinner DD, SIL and I watched the final of young musician and I spent the evening in tears. Both pianists played my late DH's favourite concerto and on the anniversary of his death was just overwhelming.
DD and SIL return to Brussels in the morning, it was wonderful to see her three days in a row.
Quiet day for me with my book.

Good morning from a dark Durham. The wind has been horrendous and I had to switch off the security lights - they were
going on and off like Christmas decorations!
It was after 2 when I went to bed, then coughed all night, rounded off by a nightmare. I’m exhausted, but I’ll come back later and read later posts.
Best wishes to all. X

Good Morning from mid-Lancs. Storm Ashley been and gone and now it's oddly mild - 14 degrees before 6am? But no rain....yet. Fingers crossed!
