Good morning from N.Bucks. Dull here but dry.
At home day for me. On line art class at 10. I will make soup for the freezer and make a sample of the next project for craft club.

Healing thoughts for all who need them and a good day wished for everyone.

Good morning from a cracking sunshine today on the east coast of Fife. The best home shop in Fife has its C decorations up the kids love it especially the 2 wee girls I went shopping with they’re so cute. I’m off again to meet up with an old friend from my teenage years we’re going to have a really nice afternoon tea with a glass of Prosecco.

I really live the high life I’m so blessed.

Enjoy your day my friends we don’t know what’s a round the corner

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Off to catch up with a friend I haven’t seen for some weeks. She had some health problems diagnosed so I hope we can try and sort life out a bit. My hearing has really got worse lately I must try and get a retest soon.
Susan thinking of you
Very best wishes

Good morning from a dry NE where the sun has just come out.
Nice chat with the hairdresser yesterday while she worked her magic.
DS and GD2 are coming this morning, they will escape day three of the bedroom fitters and the noise it entails. Poor DIL will have to work from home.
Shopping today and then GD is going out with her camera to gather some material for her artwork.
My condolences baubles 💐

Good morning from a bright sunny Cambridgeshire.
DD2 and the little ones came for lunch and the afternoon yesterday and we carved the pumpkins a big and little one each. Then DH and the 5 yr old started lego together and the 10 year old assembled and painted a Halloween wreath. Everyone was happy and busy.
Today I have a tutu to decorate for DGD2 upcoming ballet medal. DD2 started it and needs help finishing it. I’ll do it whilst the light is good this morning.
This afternoon is hair cut and colour and a pop in to M & S nearby.
Hope everyone has a good day 💐

You are very welcome to commission quilts from me, if delivery date is not fixed!

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey Carlisle.

I was busy with vacuuming and bathroom cleaning but it didn't do my annoying infection any good so I spent the rest of the day sitting about doing admin and reading.
Today I have a hair appointment which I'm determined to keep, I'll just have to take it gently up the steps from the car park. I'm trying to emulate Marydoll 's bloodymindedness!....and I hope you are feeling more up to it today, M.

Some gentle kitchen cleaning when I get back and a catch up with my growing pile of magazines is overdue.

My thoughts are with all of you with problems and I hope FGT finds her pain is nada mucho!

A late morning Mick and all, grey skies again, very dreary.
Yesterday my son, fiancée and her daughter came for a roast, clean plates all round, it was good to have a proper chat too.
Today I have the dentist 🙁, tonight joining WI, hope to hear from my daughter at some point.
Safe journey to the travellers over the next couple of days, Susan I have no words 🌹
FGT I hope your d-dimer test was negative 🤞

Good morning from Somerset where it is fine but still misty.
I’m here for a couple of days with the Birmingham family, easy drive down yesterday and hoping to catch up with one of my oldest friends (we met on a pre-St Andrews meet-up for new students from the Borders when we were 17!) on my drive home.
We’ll be meeting near Amesbury where she lives and haven’t seen each other for far too long.
🤞🤞🤞 for reassuring news from FGT and my wishes for a pleasant day for you all.

Good morning all. Dh is off fishing and I’m still lounging around.

Church first and then a wander around the market. My usual coffee pal is away so I won’t stop for one. I’m expecting a delivery of a pillow for sore ears. It has a hole for your ear to rest in. This is the second one I’ve tried, so I hope it works. 🤞.

Take care all and thoughts to all those struggling, one way or another. Life can be so tough at times.🙏

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
First time at music club yesterday after op and it was lovely to see everyone. I didn’t sing and had a good excuse to get out of the clearing away at the end etc. Then into the village in search of tasty puréed food I can manage. I’d love a bag of crisps!

Strange meal in the evening, a little mashed potato, tinned tomatoes and gravy🤔, but I enjoyed it. Then a quiet evening watching tv with DD followed by a broken night. I’d like to go to the lunchtime recital in town today, as I normally do, but think it may be too much. I might read my book instead.

Thoughts to Susan, hoping for good news FGT, lovely pic Bonnybanko and thoughts to all🌺

Morning from Giffnock, children off to school and having a peaceful coffee.

Susan I hadn’t realised that your mum’s hospitalisation was the result of a pharmacy error, how terrible for her and you. You have so much on your plate but it certainly should be followed up. I wish you strength for that.

I’m heading to the Royal Infirmary this morning to see my 89 year old sister in law. She has been failing for a while and was admitted as an emergency last week. Everything changes.

Condolences baubles, glad you got your flights etc sorted, take care.

So much going on this morning, good wishes to all for the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from a very dull and overcast Northampton, set to remain so all day.

My bedding dried beautifully on the line yesterday, and I actually got the hoovering done upstairs, also did the staircase as well, which I hate doing, as it is a magnet for the cats' fur!
A good walk with the group in the afternoon, then enjoyed coffee and lemon drizzle cake afterwards.
Tried to collect my reserved library book as I had an email saying it was in - but it wasn't. They have re-ordered it for me. So caught up on a couple.of magazines from my stash.

Book club this afternoon - yummy cake and coffee again! Then Bolognese for dinner tonight.

Thinking of all those coping with difficult situations, and hope today brings some relief.

Good morning from a grey Angus coast. I can sense the sun trying to break through though, so I'm keeping the faith.
So much illness and heartache on here today. Baubles flowers. Susan I am so sorry for you, your family and your mum - so cruel.
I had a lovely morning at tai chi yesterday and then dashed home to hang the washing out. It was a beautiful sunny day, but it wasn't a drying day so it's now finishing off indoors - by a radiator and in front of open windows. It will dry at some point, somehow 😉
Today I have an appointment with my large bedroom - it always gets forgotten when I'm in housework mode, so I must start nibbling away at it. The trouble with a large room is that there's more space for the accumulation of clutter......
So off I trot, via today's Wordle and whatever other procrastination I can find. Keeping my fingers crossed for you FGT and hoping all the others feeling unwell start to recover soon x

Mitzuma I hope your gentleman from the bus shelter is now in a comfortable new home with better prospects for the future. smile
