Good Morning Saturday 15th February 2025

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Yesterday evening’s visit to be signed off for my eye op went well with assurance over the bloodshot eye and good advice for future eye drops for dry eye.
Today a visit to the farm shop and chat to DS who is off for a break with DDiL.
Usual curry later
Bonnybanko enjoy your holiday.

Good morning from Shropshire.Rain forecast all day.

I am sorry your mum has a chest infection Grandmabatty.Hoping she remains comfortable and that the antibiotics do their work.Its such a rollercoaster for her and you💐

We are having a slow start this morning.DGD is reading in bed and H playing Lego.We will go into town later.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning all and it’s back to cloud and chilliness. I don’t know why I thought yesterday morning was milder as I got colder and colder as the day wore on. We saw the sun though which was lovely.

I went to my pedicure at the lady’s house and it’s the best one I’ve had and half the price. I’ll certainly go back. We chatted non stop for an hour and a half .

Today I’ll shop for tomorrow’s lunch as all the family are gathering. Too many for a sit down, so it will be another buffet.

Liberty lovely to hear from you and I’m glad the Bay of Biscay is behaving. We’ve had some ‘shockers’ there. 🌊.
Enjoy !
Bonnybanko have a lovely holiday. ☀️.

Half term this week but I’m not needed for childcare. Gone are the days where activities and trips were planned. I’m not sorry, but I did enjoy it at the time.

I hope all your days are good ones.🌱

Good morning Mick and all. No time to read the posts again this morning because I'm off to the beach! Our Tai Chi on the Beach monthly sessions start this morning! I shall wrap up warm and go down there hoping very much that nobody else does and I can come back home again!! According to my weather app the breeze is coming directly off the sea, the temp is 3° and we can apparently add rain to the mix - just what the doctor ordered!
My friend and I enjoyed our lunch yesterday - three hours of non-stop chat. We don't meet up all that often so there's always a lot to catch up on.
After my trip to the beach this morning I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend. I hope you enjoy yours, whatever you are doing, and that those with illness or troubles feel lighter x

Good morning all from a dull and damp Black country.
Need to go to bank again the details we were given for a transfer were the wrong sort code.
Friends coming later and we shall go to the club.
Those in sunny places enjoy.
Usual full English calling so will catch up with everybody's happenings later.
Have a good day everyone ☀️.

Good morning everyone from a wet and grey Northampton, set to last all day.
Lovely sunshine yesterday and it was quite pleasant walking back from the bus stop after my three dance classes.

Shall brave the raindrops later and hop on the bus to the shops; I quite fancy a steak for dinner tonight, and like to choose my own, so I never order one in my grocery delivery. Shall probably have a coffee and a bite to eat. Then home and watch some catch-up tv. I finished reading Cannery Row yesterday and loved it. I have ordered our next book club book from the library; they will email me when it's in my local branch.
Browsing Facebook last night and succumbed to an M&S advert, and ordered a new bra - exactly the colour, size and style I wanted to wear under my new long dress! I shall collect it on Monday.

Liberty enjoy your cruise - I have a feeling you are on the lovely Adventure - I shall be on her sister ship in April, can't wait!

Hope all have a good day, despite the weather.

Yes BlueSapphire we are and this is our 2nd time on the ship. Excellent,as you will know,in all aspects. April will soon come round.

Morning from a marginally less cold S Hants, grey skies and I think we’ve had light rain, we had sun yesterday afternoon, it was lovely.
Usual trip to our local last night which was busy, good to see friends and catch up on their week, our plumber, electrician and mechanic drink there, always handy if you need a job done.
Today is forecast showery, I’ve got seed potatoes now, they’ll go in egg boxes to chit - that’s the kitchen table occupied for a few weeks, easily moved if necessary.
Enjoy your weekend morningers, hope the poorlies improve.

Thank you for the florist link Ash. A lovely selection found for DDs area which I will use. 💐

Nothing planned so a very leisurely start to the day after a rather restless night. Sky still grey and like others I yearn to see the sun. Supermarket trip now unavoidable so that’s the plan. Hope all the travellers are enjoying their various adventures and that those under the weather have a better day.

Good morning from a chilly County Durham with a sprinkling of snow on the ground.

Yesterday we took a trip to Leyburn, a place we've often driven through and always thought we must return for a wander. It was bitterly cold when we made our way onto the "Shawl", a hillside walk heading out of town. We didn't last long in the chill and hurriedly made our way back to find a coffee shop. The market was in full swing, mostly fruit and veg and we could clearly hear the farmers mart in the distance with the auctioneer rapidly chanting.

Little GD2 collected her framed painting after school, a birthday gift for her mam. She's turning into quite an accomplished mini artist. DH is super proud of his apprentice.

Today we plan to cosy up, it looks so bitterly cold outside. I have my book, knitting, plus plenty of pottering to get on with. Next weekend is our family holiday trip where all seventeen of us are to be reunited for my big birthday. Fingers crossed all goes to plan.
A few tweaks for our Murder Mystery evening. Do I need more props, decorations? I am excited, it certainly takes the sting out of turning 70, but there again I remind myself to be grateful as some people unfortunately do not live to such an age.

Wishing all a peaceful day.

Good morning Mick and all from 3°C Sand Land, northwest coast. Art group yesterday and the room was warmer than last week, when I was chilled to the bone. However the cold seems to have frozen my brain and my watercolour was nondescript.
Today a day at home, which I’m glad about as I can catch up on various things. I might spend next January and February abroad in a warm climate, as people do, I can’t seem to get warm…

Safe travels Liberty and Bonnybanko and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning to u all. It’s pouring with rain here so I’m sending husband and daughter out to get the few things I need and I’m be staying home in the warm . Got my grandson tonight for a few hours . Hope u all have a good day x

Another late good morning from my bit of South Lanarkshire, just as cold as baubles’ I do need to visit the shops and wish I had accepted my friend’s offer to take me there on our way home from our visit yesterday.
Possibly a blast of fresh air will give me a boost.

I’m going to order Cannery Row from the library BlueSaphire, a change from recent detective stories!

I enjoyed a holiday in Cadiz a few years ago Liberty and very much enjoyed it, I hope you do too.

Have as good a weekend as possible everyone

Good morning from a dull Edinburgh,
Been on outings to admire snowdrops ,art exhibitions , lovely lunches , today another excursion somewhere
I’ve hardly had my feet on the ground!
Have a good day/all

Kalu

Good morning all. 1deg. and rain this morning in Glasgow.

We had a power cut last night around 10.00 pm which only affected half of our road. I continued reading my book by candle light until connection was restored. It was quite cosy.
A trip to the PO to post a little surprise for DD2 in Australia who is feeling down at the moment.

Of course each to their own Bella perhaps it was wrong of me to offer my opinion sharing something I would happily accept, not meant to come across as something I was telling you what to do. Far from it. Pleased to hear you are happy with your colour done. I get it.
Enjoy your holiday in sunnier climes Bonny

Best wishes to all for a good day especially those with worries and struggles whatever they may be, I hope you find some respite today.

Dearest Kalu of course it wasn’t wrong of you to give an opinion and I apologise if I gave the impression that I had taken umbrage at your comment. Nothing could be further from the truth, I’m so sorry if my comment came over in a negative way.
