Good Morning Sunday 15th December 2024

Good morning from Malta where the high is only going to reach 16°C and the low 9°C. Crazy weather, we were all roasting yesterday in 23°C.🤪

The Christmas in the Park event was actually really well done. Lots to do and the boys had a whale of a time. I enjoyed it too but wished I had worn a t-shirt as I was far too hot in long sleeves.

Having missed Mass for two weeks due to illness, I plan to go today if I can wake myself up. After which, my weekly chat with my faithful pal in Leicester.

Have a good day all.☀️

Good morning, too dark to see what the weather is doing, but we had a lovely sunny day yesterday.

I wrapped the Christmas presents yesterday, it took me hours! But everything takes me longer to do this year.

Today I need to sort the freezer, too many bits and pieces in there that at some time I thought I would use but didn’t, so it has to go and free up some space.

Apart from that a nothing day, we are ready for the gutter cleaning crew tomorrow, they are going to get to the top of the conservatory and clean the twiddly bits on the top as well, that should be interesting, especially as we have the carpenter here as well, let’s hope they can get on with their work at the same time.

Pleased that you are feeling better, Mike, Mizuna, Ash and GM

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning from a milder Torbay.

I hope another quiet day will help you feel better, grandMattie.

Have a great time on the Santa Special, Mizuna!

Yesterday, I managed my first solo walk to the local shops since I came out of hospital and found myself feeling quite nervous about crossing the road. Although it was cold we had some welcome sunshine so I decided I would drive to the theatre to watch the matinee. No problem with driving and I was astonished by how much the production had improved since I last attended a rehearsal nearly two weeks ago. It was a joy to be part of the audience and to be warmly welcomed by the cast afterwards. It was almost a full house so the stage manager proudly put the sign out with the addition of the word “nearly”!

I hope to attend church this morning. Have a blessed Sunday, everyone! 🦩🎄✝️🎁🦩

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Still dark in South Yorkshire but dry and feels a bit milder this morning. Last night I fell asleep reading in bed and this morning my shoulder is stiff🙄! Apart from a visit to Aldi, I have no plans for today except to do some ironing and wrap some presents.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a mild, dry, quiet Cornwall. Lorries and buses pass by later on a Sunday so my flat is peaceful. Today I'm off to Bodmin Steam Railway to join my family on a Santa Special. 🎉 Yesterday I trawled one of my favourite charity shops in another town and, amazingly, came away with nothing except a 30p key ring! 🤣

I notice that a new shop is opening in our main shopping street. It's a traditional greengrocer's and I suspect it will do a very good trade here. We already have a traditional butcher's shop that is always busy. It's so encouraging to see these small businesses thriving.

I have joined the 3am club! I woke at 2.55 and have been reading a superb book called The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History. It's a very well-written history of the part fabric plays in our lives.

Only 10 more days to Christmas Day!
Good morning from a dark, dry Bristol.
Thank you for your kind words yesterday. I took it really quietly and did little. Regarding seeing my GP, it’s easier to get an audience with the Pope. Actually, I seem to have had an uninteresting tummy bug.
I’m glad your pain is subsiding somewhat, Ash. MD,what can I say, other than don’t do too much, look after yourself.
I got up very late, then went to church to clean - I didn’t, just swept “my” aisle. Another six or seven community events other than services are yet to take place this coming week, so it felt unnecessary to clean thoroughly .
I didn’t stay long for coffee as I had a text from the delivery company with my new food processor, mine died last week. I only had very short notice.
Nothing on today other than church this morning.
Blessed Sunday to one and all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
