Good morning, at last, sunny here today.

I was busy yesterday so I will sit with my kindle today and watch the dust gather in the sun rays.

Have a good day all.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire and hello beechnut!

I’m off to the beauty salon shortly to have electrolysis on my chin! Eek. Then to a Charity shop with a bag of clothes, Waitrose and after lunch a visit to some friends.

Have a good day!

I’ve been trying to post since 8am. “Bad Gateway”. Thanks for opening up Beechnut!

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry, not sunny and chilly. I’m enjoying my second mug of TIB then late morning catching the train from Platform 1 across the road into Manchester Oxford Road station (the end of the line from here). Meeting a friend at HOME cinema with a light lunch first before seeing the new Mike Keigh film ‘Hard Truths’. I’m looking forward to it all very much.

Have the best Tuesday possible everyone. x

Morning from a cloudy S Hants, busy on the voluntary phone yesterday and at quiz last night. Optician this afternoon for usual eye test, new glasses I think.
Enjoy your day

Good morning from rainy South Lanarkshire.

Have the best day possible everyone.

grandMattie Tue 04-Feb-25 09:07:54

Me too, I had a bad gateway until now! I wonder what happened, but I’m glad I’m not alone!
Very quiet day ahead - baking for the FAB cafe tomorrow (cranberry flavoured biscuits and lemon drizzle cake, Spanish homework and finally my “salon” this afternoon. Two neighbours and I have our hair cut…
Washing done and on the line - until it rains this afternoon.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all from South Yorkshire.

I am going to write a short story today- suggestions anyone?

How many words?
How many characters?
What kind of setting?
What happens?

May get back to you later...

Yes, Grandmattie is already serving tea and cakes somewhere and Karmalady is on her allotment.
Have the best possible day everyone.

Morning all, being unable to log in first thing has confirmed my diagnosis of addicted to GN

Back tp the opticians in a moment (third time in a week) to get my glasses fitted, they are lopsided. I have just tried on all my sunglasses (won’t talk about that addiction) and reading glasses and they are not lopsided so it cannot be my face 😹😹😹

Not a lot planned for today, I am beginning to think I have forgotten something big, as I have a lot of free time.

🙋‍♀️

Thanks for opening up Beechnut
And a good morning everyone from a lovely sunny Black country.
Washing out on the line blowing away, must admit have got more done this morning having not spent time on gransnet.
I have a bag to drop round to charity shop having sorted wardrobe yesterday.
Have a good day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find a little bit of ☀️.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 04-Feb-25 09:12:52

Loving the comments loopyloo! 🤣
GG13 is probably doing her bench press ups and squats at the gym ….

Marydoll Tue 04-Feb-25 09:13:30

Good morning all, it's wild here in Glasgow.

It didn't matter that GN was down, I have coughed for over an hour and could do nothing! I sound like a sixty a day person!

The roofers appeared at 8am, the storm damage is worse than we thought and will need scaffolding. 😱 Thank goodness it will be an insurance job.
We also have the eye watering quote to repair our fence. sad

I have some albs to alter and also repair. We have new servers and one has pulled his on so hard, he has ripped it! I have no energy for anything else.

I wish you all a pleasant day, what ever your plans.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 04-Feb-25 09:13:34

I was WRONG❗️ Hehe!

EkwaNimitee Tue 04-Feb-25 09:13:48

Good morning all, a bad gateway here too.

I'm just about to go into town to collect prescriptions and get my hair cut. Naturally, therefore, it's raining!
I'll have a quick trawl through M&S as I need some socks and then it will be homewards bound for me. I've already vacuumed the bedrooms and might swoop around the bathrooms later, or not....I've still got my long book to read, I've barely got halfway.

Have a good day everyone if you can.

Greyduster Tue 04-Feb-25 09:14:15

Oh hello, at last! Good morning, Mick wherever you out and about (I am totally discombobulated without you leading us in!) and all GNs. Sun is shining in South Yorkshire at the moment. I’m just about to walk down to the supermarket and then this afternoon I have a volunteer session at school.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning everyone from a bright Northampton. I too had 'bad gateway'. Have just 'herded' the cats into their carriers ready for their annual check up and jabs at the vets; had to resort to subterfuge to round them up! Waiting for DS to come and pick us up.

Coffee later, early lunch then out for our health walk.

Started my new book for book club yesterday and am enjoying it so far - Cannery Row by John Steinbeck, didn't know what to expect but am pleasantly surprised.

Must go now, DS is here.
Have a good day everyone.

NannyJan53 Tue 04-Feb-25 09:23:46

Good morning from a grey and cloudy Black Country, where the sun is struggling to shine through!

After a busy day yesterday, no real plans today. May pop up to Merry Hell Hill and have a mooch. MrJ is off on his group cycle ride. Hope he is back before the forecasted rain.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 11° and raining. Lots of puddles so dgs1 was happy. Dgs2 not so much. He avoids puddles like a cat.
Yesterday I did a couple of hours in the library but had to stop as I need to label the books. I've ordered labels to arrive today. Technically I could have asked the school to source them but that would take ages. I had my shingles jab in the afternoon which gave me a very decent night's sleep!
The boys are both at school/nursery and I'm facing the chaos of my living room already. We've had building tunnels with cushions and the floor is lava, all before school. I'll do a spot of pottering but my arm aches today, so I'm disinclined to do a lot. Have a good day all.

luluaugust Tue 04-Feb-25 09:28:00

More bad gateway here. Seem to have been up for ages, quite put out.
A quiet day here as DH not feeling great and my constant round of drops make a social life difficult
DGS5 is 14 today the youngest of the GC. He had his friends round over the weekend and we hope to catch up with him next weekend.
Very best wishes to all

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 04-Feb-25 09:31:12

Great book BlueSapphire! Good choice.

Redcar Tue 04-Feb-25 09:32:22

Good morning everyone. Thanks for opening up beechnut, I was getting quite anxious about the “bad gateway” so pleased all is ok now! It’s bright here at the moment, rain forecast for later.
Drove to the garden centre yesterday and got a few bits, but nothing garden related! Felt more comfortable driving, so I’m making progress.
I’ll be cleaning the bathroom today, and possibly my bedroom too. So a very exciting day for me!
Have a good day everyone.
