Good Morning Saturday 15th February 2025

Good morning from South Lanarkshire.
There was a dusting of snow on the ground when I went to bed last night and it’s still there but thankfully there hasn’t been any more.

Yesterday was bitterly cold in Edinburgh but we still enjoyed an hour running around on the beach with DS, three children and a daft dug, not that DH or I did any running.

A quiet day today, I’m sure I’ll pootle around happily although I have no real plans.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from the NE where there is frost on all the parked cars.
Yesterday was grey and damp so I spent time in the kitchen making carrot and sweet potato soup and courgette Provencal.
Haven't heard from DS but assume he will be visiting with GD so that I can stock up with basics.
Enjoy your holiday Bonnybanko, nice to have some sunshine at this time of year.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Enjoy your day’s folks not follow 🤬

Morning everyone, chilly here 3°

Nothing exciting happening, more rest and reading.

Enjoy your days follow 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a damp but slightly less cold Torbay. Roll on Spring!

Kalu: just a thought: have you ever used this website?

au.direct2florist.com/

I find it very useful if I want to send something quickly to my DD1 in Australia. Service is efficient and she is always delighted with the flowers or pot plants.

Last night we enjoyed a visiting performance at our theatre consisting of a talented band of musicians with a singer (Andrew Bourne) who has appeared on Britain's Got Talent, apparently. A full house told us to expect a good night and we weren’t disappointed. Lots of Rat Pack songs were popular with the audience.

Have a great weekend but remember to relax, you busy folk! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Morning Mick, morning All. Cold and wet sums up oir corner of Somerset.

Balloons bought yesterday we headed to a garden centre for seed potatoes and somehow were drawn to the cafe for tea and very good cake. We’re all prepared for the birthday stuff tomorrow, we’ll transport everything to our son’s before our Chinese meal with the family. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.

Quiet one today. Broccoli and blue cheese soup to make for lunch otherwise it’s back to the photos, so many memories surfacing. I’m quietly amazed at how much we packed in.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from a chilly and damp North Leicestershire - we have had rain but I think it has stopped now.

I need to iron this morning and then we are meeting DSiL2 halfway down the motorway to collect the children.

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.

Good morning from s somerset, cold, dull, rainy, not nice today

I was a busy bee yesterday morning, soup making, bread making, big floofy scones. I did little else and was zonked by lunchtime. I know my body, it was just recovering from the physical work of the last few days so did not force it

Today is an indoor day and I will be making gooseberry and blueberry crumbles, I can see space appearing in my freezer, which is the whole idea. I do still need to do the superficial cleaning and will again be finished by lunchtime. I have more sock presents on my needles and books to read on my coffee table. I hope it leads to a full sleep tonight, same as I had last night

Have a good day

Good morning from a damp Bristol. It is marginally less chilly and definitely wetter. I hope the cold east wind has died down a bit.

I was so lethargic and tired yesterday that I took a “sleeping pill” (half an antihistamine) and had a good night.💤

My Spanish lesson went well although one of the new students that I try to avoid, always sits next to me and we are always paired. There is nothing wrong with her, but it’s nice not to always have the same person…

The afternoon was quiet, I was too tired to do more than read or watch tv. I did make Urms SOAP dish and have enough for another two meals.

Today, apart from coffee and chat, it’s empty. A free concert this evening for the local hospice in church which I might go to if I’m not too tired. The programme is ok, not my favourites but nothing too modern or challenging.

May your weekend be peaceful and occasionally joyous.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, it’s a wet Saturday morning here, chilly too.
Dog walk first thing then a quiet day, so I can start an online drawing course I’ve signed up to.
My Tassimo coffee machine has died so no coffee for me unless I go downstairs but that’ll disturb the dog who will want to come back upstairs on the bed (I really don’t approve of that although I do occasionally allow her to).
Yesterday I had a filling at my lovely dentist’s, they really are so kind and friendly. It was bitterly cold walking from the car, there was a smattering of pellet-like snow 🥶, thankfully nothing more.
I made a bag of dog treats when I got home so she’s happy.
I hope your weekend goes well 🌹

Good morning from Durham. Still dark, cold but not wet.
It was so cold yesterday, I went to bed at midnight, but far too early for me and I’ve been awake for a couple of hours. However, I’ve TIB and the tv on in the background.
Taking DGS2 to a museum today, while his Daddy watches his beloved Toon Army. I hope we can get the disabled parking there, as there’s not much other parking nearby - not easy with a wheelchair and a 3 year old.

Best wishes to all. X

Good Morning Mick and all GN's on another very dark and still morning here in North Yorkshire. Still too dark to even see an outline of the tree but no sound of wind or rain so thats something.

Yesterday there was an open day at the local campus and a new area they have opened for adult learning. So I went to have a look round and see what there was to see. Well done them, they had actually really thought about access for people with all sorts of disabilities as the adult learning was on the second floor. So was able to test them out, and yes I was able to park the yellow peril ok and go up in the lift. decent toilet facilities, chairs that were comfortable to sit in , tick tick tick!! So a lot of options available, with courses on line and in person etc. They had some demonstrations of various different things and made the most of the valentines day theme, including a lecturer who brought in ready made biscuits and then she had all sorts of icing stuff, fondant and various different coloured royal icing etc, and it was quite fun to have a go on the biscuits and of course she was explaining about more fancy stuff.

So I am hoping to go to one of the digital classes. I have been in communications for years but you feel that you are not up to date with stuff and the safety angle etc and avoiding scams So that was very positive and I shall be spreading the word to friends about it.

Today it is going to be , out early to the market, may go mad and have a coffee out, but nothing else special. Then back to put stuff away and then I have another big box of paperwork that I want to go through whilst I have the energy. The weather is cold and they say we may have even some snow later, so then plan to just get on with some ironing , a warm job for a cold day, and listen to radio 3 and practice some songs.

Just started singing with a guitarist, and I usually sing with a pianist, it is quite different, so I want to get more into this, and am also doing some different, more jazz songs and some classics. So the two things go together for me. I shall be able to be ironing whilst singing The Lady is a Tramp, or Fever or Autumn Leaves.

Hope you all have a good day today, and manage to do something you have been trying to get sorted for ages.. Have a little treat for yourselves, you deserve it!!

Good morning from a pleasantly/warm part of Tenerife. It’s still fairly dark but then my blackout curtains don’t reveal too much I think I’ll probably drop off again until 8.30 when my lovely carer will come along and I’ll have a shower before I venture into the dining room.

Enjoy the day my friends as best you can don’t be afraid to live 💐💐

Good morning from Malta where a cloudy, rainy day is forecast with a high of 14°C.

I am up early as the plumber is coming to fix the flushing in my en suite which has been on the blink for a while.

Had a lovely day with the boys yesterday, they are a joy.

Had my hair done in the afternoon and feel much better for it. I know there are people who look absolutely lovely with white or grey hair but I’m not one of them as I feel I’d look even more washed out than I do already. Each to their own.

I need to go to the bank today so hope the plumber finishes in time for me to get there before it closes at 12.30.

I then need to empty the sideboard and clear the decks as I’m having a new air conditioning unit fitted on Monday and it will be a messy job. The old one broke two years ago and I’ve decided I can’t bear another hot summer without it but it’s going to hurt my bank account!😫

Wishing a good day to all ☀️
