Good Morning Tuesday 19th November 2025

Good afternoon all, hope everyone is enjoying this chilly Tuesday☃️❄️. Kind thoughts to anyone struggling with worries or health. Snow nearly all gone from my little patch in the Black Country, thank goodness! Nice to look at, not so good when having to be out and about. Have a lovely evening, keep cosy.

Good afternoon everyone!

It's 2.2C here in little Appleby at 1:12pm! Cold enough to freeze the wool off a beach ball and I'm loving every second of it!

I went to my favourite local cafe this morning as I do twice monthly and stuffed my face with a Full English. a can of Coke, and a glorious cake!

The nasty menopause kept me awake last night again so I spent time in the livingroom hugging a hot water bottle, guzzling mugs of PG Tips and reading The Zealot's Bones book by DM Mark, totally engrossed in it!

Good morning from a bright Co Armagh, it hasn’t snowed here but we had sleety rain yesterday and most of the night
The cold and damp aren’t good for pains ! I couldn’t get comfortable last night , it was 5 before I gave in and downed a couple of paracetamol, I should have taken them earlier
Nothing planned today , yesterday was busy , shopped , made soup , looked to see what I could throw out of the freezer , a couple of unlabelled , unsavoury looking lumps made it to the food recycling,
Great to see good news 😊

Still learning I'm sorry for the loss of what sounds like a remarkable woman.

Very happy for FGT and kittylester today.

It’s just started snowing heavily in North Wiltshire. That wasn’t in the forecast.

Morning from a cold and snowy Co Durham. We took Dgd and her friend for tea in our local pub/ restaurant, two very well behaved 10 year olds who demolished their chosen meals.
Dgd got herself up and dressed, ate her breakfast and left for school with no hassle. I then decided to walk to my hairdresser rather than de-ice the car. Maybe not a good decision as the footpaths were very icy.
Fgt so pleased for you both. Annypop such good news.
Take care everyone, I’m off to read the paper and all your news.

Good morning from another frosty start in Glasgow.

DD1 has been and gone after her coffee drop in once she has dropped GD2 at school. It’s a very welcome start to my day.
Not sure if I will stay home or go out today. It’s a pleasant change for me to have such options now.

First off, wonderful news FGT so pleased for you both.
Also pleased to hear how well your DM is settling in to her new surroundings Susan. DGD choosing an outfit for her GGM is so sweet.
Marydoll Marking the date of our first date, 18/8/73 was a cause for celebration.
Also, wonderful news for your DiL Annypops

Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from a very cold and snowy Northampton! Can't ever remember settled snow in November before. Slept till 8.30 this morning and what a surprise. Methinks it will be a day indoors in the warm, not venturing out on our health walk.

A good yoga class yesterday, followed by coffee in the little cafe - I had collected a full card of stamps so it was my turn for a free coffee!
After lunch, changed the bed, put away clean laundry, and then washed a massive pile of black socks which had been growing for a few weeks. Put together the SOAP dish, and cooked it in the slow cooker - enough for two meals, so it only needs to be reheated in the microwave tonight.

So the plan today, instead of walking, is to make a batch of mince pies.

Just had a tree maintenance man come to the front door; he did a good job for me last time so I asked for a quote for my massive whitebeam in the front garden. It was reasonable so he is doing it now!

So pleased to read FGT2's news. I know that feeling!

Have a good day everyone.

Morning, no snow here in coastal Suffolk, wet and windy though. Lovely to read the good news for FGT and himself.
Off to the hairdresser soon. I will leave the salon looking suitably coiffured but will no doubt be a bedraggled mess in this weather by the time I get to the car!

Fabulous cake Grandmabatty

Morning from a very white South Lanarkshire, not snow but a very heavy frost. Boots on and careful walking on my way to Giffnock today, I’ll be glad the bus drivers are doing their job and not me!

I was relieved and delighted to read FGT’s news, very happy for them both.

My dear sister in law died peacefully on Sunday, she had been moved just a couple of days before to the peace and comfort of a hospice. I’ll miss her, she was both unassuming and rather formidable. She lived her whole life in the house in which she was born having left school at 14. She said she didn’t like school but I suspect she realised another wage was needed to support the large family and made the decision herself, since she eventually got a job with Thomas Cook and went on to start her own travel business which is now well known in Scotland.
She never married but became the centre of the extended family who looked after her wonderfully over the past few years.

I’ve been wondering about Taichinain, does anyone know how she is doing?

Sending good wishes to all.

Good morning from a cold, damp NE.
GD sent a photo of snow in Leeds, quite a lot around her University accommodation.
Woken by my phone pinging, GP surgery telling me to make an appointment, rang them and was given one on Friday morning, usually takes weeks to get one. Now I am worried.
So pleased to hear the good news FGT.
Have a good day.

Snow!

I’ve just remembered that our gardener was supposed to be coming back today to plant the rest of the bulbs! Mmm.

A rather late morning all from a snowy West Oxfordshire.

Such good news FGT2!

I will listen to two V&A lectures this morning on Art History. After lunch I’ll drive to my friend’s house on the other side of the village.

We bought some new coat hooks the other day for the bathroom and office. Hopefully OH will fit them today.

Have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a chilly (looks it) south Manchester. We had a dusting of snow last night as we were going to bed at 10pm but this morning the ground is just wet with frosty rooftops only.

We had wonderful news yesterday at the Christie. The scan done 3 weeks ago showed the tumour no further growth of the tumour or liver met. “It’s gone to sleep for now. Enjoy this gift” the consultant said. Hopefully Himself will not develop any symptoms until his next scan which is scheduled for the beginning of February.

I took ages getting off to sleep last night my mind was racing. As it does sometimes. We both slept in late as yesterday was an emotional one. It’s so good to think we may not need to visit the hospital for 3 months. I’m pleased too for my brother in law who has been such a support to us these last months taking us every week. He too gets extended time off.

Sorry for the long post, spilling all my thoughts this morning.

We have absolutely no plans at all today. We purposely kept the day free. Now we can relax and lean into it. x

I have have just realised the date, the anniversary of my first date with Mr MD in 1975.
It was a frosty, starry night and I knew then, that he was definitely The One. 😍
Shame it was downhill after that! 😂

Good morning everyone from a wet Severnside. When I pulled back the curtains it was snowing and outside has that snowy cold feel in the air.
I am up late as I stayed up to watch a film with Nicholas Lyndhurst in.
When I took my bra off last night I found a pound coin stuck to my boob. I’d forgotten that is where I put it when it was not needed for a shopping trolley 😂
I’ve a day at home today getting on with a few jobs. I have to say as useful as the programme may be Scam Investigators does not replace Doctors for me.

Have a good day all 🍂🍂

I think that cake is brilliant Grandmabatty
Good news about your mum Susan pleased to hear it.

Annypops, the best of gifts indeed. !

Good morning all from a very chilly Glasgow, where it is -3❄C.
The heating came on during the night, so it must have been very cold.

Delighted to hear the good news from the FGTs and pleased to see your mum is settling in Susan.

Yesterday was exhausting with wall to wall busyness. However, I witnessed a miracle, Mr MD can hear again! Well better than he could previously. I will now need to watch what I say about him, he heard me muttering about him last night. 😂

Being his usually stubborn self, he refused to put in the post code for the clinic on his Sat Nav, (^He knew what he was doing^) so we drove round and round in circles.
I had not been in Linwood for about forty years, I didn't recognise it all!
Eventually I insisted he stop and put it in the post code. Two minutes later, we passed the clinic, but he never even saw it! 😡
To my delight, the clinic was right beside a Tesco and a B&M. I abandoned him in the clinic and went shopping. I deserved a break!
Unfortunately, one ear was so impacted that it started to bleed. 🙁. I think he may have learned his lesson.

Another busy day ahead, first Parish Council meeting tonight with the new PP. I would rather stay in my warm house and I hate driving in the dark.There are some forceful new members, I expect it will not be a peaceful meeting.
The tearoom will be freezing, therefore I plan to go down early and put the heating on.

I wish you all a pleasant day and a gentle one for all, who are struggling. 💐

Delighted that the news from Urmston is so good; well done the NHS! Grey skies and a dismal forecast though fortunately we are not threatened with snow, something I no longer welcome. A domestic day with Wonderful Cleaner and WI this evening so all is wel

Good morning from a damp W Kent. Off for a haircut today and quick visit to Bluewater to collect DH’s new reading glasses. I also need to drop information into the Drs so I can have a letter to see a Consultant about having my cataracts done. It all seems to have got very complicated as DH just phoned and asked for a short note to go. Anyway plenty to get on with.
Pleased to hear all went well for FGT
