So unfair, Marydoll. Good thing you’ve got us to sympathise.

For which I will be ever grateful!

I may divorce my family. That will teach them.
I may share the story of the rolling bath bombs tomorrow. 🤣

So unfair, Marydoll. Good thing you’ve got us to sympathise.

I have had a horrendous day. I will not bore you all, suffice to say that I am in an extremely foul mood and no-one cares!!😡

We care 💐

I have ranted about my morning, but DH just ignored me and DD and DIL just laughed.

I tried to join you earlier but my post refused to send!
So BAD GATEWAY followed by lost post followed by a message on my brand new TV saying NO SIGNAL so no chance to waste time on there.
The radio is not getting BBC only local radio.
Some conspiracy?
Ah well I didn't have much to say.
I've had my feet done which was lovely.
I've measured my broken attic window for new glass. I don't think I can afford a glazier. I've been quoted £160 for one small pane. I'll just cover it with a piece of plastic.

Hopefully you are all having a good day.

Now to do my Gaelic homework for tonight's class.

I think ‘Bad Gateway’ is a GN server issue. Perhaps tightening up since the debacle on MN during the night hours a few days ago? If so, a minor inconvenience in a good cause.

It means the GN server is off line. I'm sure they would be aware of it, nothing would be working.

My heart would sink, when I would arrive at school and find the school server was down. It used to also affect the phones. It was my role to deal with it and the younger staff were unable to use a blackboard could not cope without their interactive whiteboards. You would have thought it was the end of the world.

How did we survive before the Internet? 🤣

Another one thrown by the bad gateway! I felt really quite discombobulated without being able to tell you "it's a grey day on the Angus coast" and "off to tai chi now". So glad normal service has been resumed. It's still a grey day and I'm home from tai chi. Have a good afternoon and evening everyone x

Karma my idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
House hoovered, dishwasher emptied and loaded, bedroom tidied and kitchen tidied. It'll all go pear shaped when I pick up the boys 😂. I phoned an aerial fitter who came out to have a look and will sort it tomorrow. I feel I have peaked

Good morning Mick. Thanks for the update, and thank you for the foresight and knowledge to report it to GN.

Good Morning Everyone,
Sorry I am late , I was up early but could not get into Gransnet due to things .
I did go on the the Facebook page and reported that I was not able to get onto Gransnet .
Just returned from Bicester , did a shop saw some people i know etc.
Health wise OK,
Take Crae,
Mick

Good morning from Durham.
Late here too with the BG message.
I’m in M&S awaiting my poorly friend. One final procedure next week to try and explain her 2stone weight loss - if nothing, she really needs to up her food intake - always a size 8, she had no interest in food, never hungry and often misses meals - her RA meds don’t help either.
Another friend’s son in an RTA last night - not injured, but the other party stank of weed. Details exchanged then she ran off. Car probably a write off.

I’ll read through later,
Best wishes to all. X

Late on here owing to Bad Gateway, then walking the dog and man coming about a new liner for the woodburner. Will need a cherry picker as the roof is high, so more expense !

Not sure what we’ll do today , perhaps lunch out, we’ll see!

Glad we’re all back on. I would so miss our morning chat.

A very late good morning from Malta where the sky is blue, the sun is shining and it’s 18°C.

I too found a bad gateway at 7am when I tried to pop in before coming to watch the boys.

We had a lovely day yesterday, I took them to the park which was almost empty but the gardeners were out in force rotavating the soil, taking up old plants to make way for new, the flowers are always so pretty there. The boys were very interested in the machinery and we saw some big fat worms who had been unearthed.

They also loved seeing the cats who live there when they came out to greet their feeders. It was so lovely and peaceful, we stayed a couple of hours then I took them home, gave them lunch and they napped for an hour or so before I woke them, put them in their nursery uniform and handed them over to their other grandparents who kindly drove them to nursery.

Today they have both been coughing a lot but we have spent the morning reading, playing and they have had lunch and are both napping. Such good boys, they go into bed no fussing and straight off to sleep.

I feel so lucky and so happy being able to have this precious time with them.

DGD in the USA messaged me yesterday which also made me happy. We have always been very close despite the distance between us. She will be 14 this month!

Sorry to have rambled on. Hope you are all having a good day.

Take care.☀️

Good morning it’s raining heavy here so not much planned . My dad is coming up for a cuppa soon . We lost my lovely mother in July and we have good and bad days and he gets very lonely bless him so I like him coming to me as gets him out of house for a bit xxxx

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
Dsister left for the south yesterday afternoon after a nice if rather quiet time with me. We get along very well in a relaxed way. This time her train was on time and she watched a film on the journey home on her phone. Our smartphones can be very useful. It was the first time she hadn’t driven up and she doesn’t intend to take the train again what with delays etc. She also had to leave some Christmas presents from other relatives behind as they were too heavy.

My cat is so spoiled, it has water, food, access to outside and still miaows for attention…I’m not a mind reader🙄

Music club later, so need to have a warm up and practise my songs.
Hope you all have the best day you can🌺

Karmalady your fleeting thought about dusting made me laugh out loud. I have similar fleeting thoughts!

Good morning everyone, the sun shone briefly earlier this morning but it’s back to being a dull-skied south Glos hillside.
Yesterday we had a lovely late afternoon dog walk in sunshine, it definitely lifts my spirits being outside in sunshine! It was a three mile walk across fields and through woods, muddy but very pleasant.
So far today I have cleared the bathroom, loo and kitchen, done two loads of washing, sorted through my ridiculous amount of hair products and shoved them in a box that’s now under the bed.
Then sorted out my makeup bag (I look so pale and haggard I definitely need to wear some!) and put in my contact lens for the first time in months 🫣- no, they don’t make me look any less awful! I absolutely love the curly perm I had last week so I’m determined to overhaul my appearance and cheer myself up - I’m definitely not depressed just a little bit meh 😊
Anyway, dog is out with her dog walker, DH is actually doing the vacuuming (!!!) and I ought to start looking for something to cook for dinner.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹
