Good morning all from a chilly feeling North Leicestershire- though Alexa tells me that it is 8°.

Not a lot happening here today. I need to work out what we will have for our evening meal. Maybe tartiflette. And I have about 4 loads of washing to do.

So sorry to hear about your friend, Ash.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from Durham, feeling cold and windy is today’s forecast. Almost back to normality with the usual Monday morning coffee and catchup with a friend and I’ll get some milk. That’s about it.
💐Ash good to have OD here.
Hope MD is feeling more comfortable.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from s somerset. another dull day here

Condolences Ash flowers

I am managing to find things to do at home but gosh what an endless time this is, neither here nor there. DD2 has RSV so I have been keeping my distance, it is rather a nasty virus.

My sock-making is going very well, especially with the new interesting wool, it so nice that I have ordered more. Everyone is getting warm woollen socks for whatever occasion, fortunately they all want my hand-mades. I have a socker gauge, all I need is the shoe size

Today, more of the same but an organic delivery is due later so I will be getting on with my kefir, juicing etc, I have made room in my fridge for all the produce

Have a good day

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a still dark South Yorkshire where we are expecting a dry bright day. DS came after the match and we had a late lunch together which was very nice. Today I will do some laundry and then drive over to one of our lovely parks for a walk.
Ash have a safe journey home. I’m so sorry about your friend💐.
Have the best day you can folks.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, dry corner of Somerset.

I’m so sorry for your loss ash, such sad news. I’m relieved your husband is with you.

Yesterday was a full, enjoyable day. A walk when the mist cleared, a snack lunch in a community cafe full of families and laughter, a garden centre stop before a couple of hours photo sorting. I seem to be reducing the quantity by 50%, that’ll do.

An unusually social day ahead. Coffee and a catch up with our neighbours followed by a visit from a friend this afternoon. We’ll be all talked out.

Wishing all in the move a trouble free journey, especiallyash and her husband. Hope marydoll is more comfortable. Thoughts to all with personal mountains to climb.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it is currently 7°C but is expected to rise to 20°C later.

What sad news Ashcombe. Deepest condolences. Hoping you will have a trouble free journey home.💐

I have to be at DD3’s by 9.30 this morning to look after the boys. Then I’ve got a doctor’s appointment at 5pm.

Best wishes to those of you in sick bay and I hope the day is kind to us all.☀️

Good morning from a very cold and windy start to the day here on the east coast of Fife. I watched the last of Gavin and Stacey on tv yesterday, not a dry eye in the house, a very very good ending to the series., I’ll miss it.

Have a good day my friends. Keep warm and be kind 💐💐💐

Good morning from Bristol. Like Mick, it’s dry and fairly chilly here.
Yesterday was completely uneventful. Church, with a delightful retired vicar doing the sermon. unfortunately it was long and rambling.
Nothing for the rest of the day.
Today, I must go to the building society for cash, then an unnecessary but friendly trip to Tesco with my neighbour- I hope her friend doesn’t come 🤞
The rest of the day is quiet. I have a whole load of letters to answer/forms to fill in, and have been putting it off. I really must do them before “next year”.
I hope all the travellers keep safe, the families happy, the sick and anxious lessso…. Carpe diem ❤️🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a chilly Crewe.

Travelling home today so setting off early.

Too sad to write much - my friend from Props at Toads, who has been in hospital for more than three months, passed away yesterday. Rest in peace and rise in glory. 💐
