Good Morning Sunday 2nd March 2025

Good morning all. Cloudy with light rain today in Glasgow but it does feel a tad milder. On the bright side, daylight until at least 6.00pm is very welcome.

Disaster yesterday when raising my clothes pulley, the rope snapped and a full load of washing landed on the floor. Fortunately there was enough rope to tie it back together and rehang the washing. The flat feeling I had for the last couple of days has lifted yet again and I’m beginning to understand the pattern of highs and lows and just to go with the flow to ride out the lows.

What a rotten week you have had baubles and I’m pleased to hear you are on the mend. Look after yourself and take it easy.
FGT A poignant day for you and your stepfather.💐

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. It’s sunny, the sky is blue and clear and it’s freezing outside, minus 3 according to the garden thermometer! I may go out for a walk when the frost has gone. I didn’t go out yesterday, but had some exercise cleaning the bathroom, including the shower tray, and mopping the floor. Then I did a little gardening, cutting back some shrubs and clearing some dead leaves. I’ll try to do some more today.
bellasnana I hope your niece’s baby recovers soon from the infection, and I hope your niece can get some help for her post natal depression. We had to drop everything when DD1 became overwhelmed after the birth of her first baby, and go to help her. So I can understand your feelings at being unable to assist.
baubles there are some very debilitating germs about at the moment. I hope you’re feeling better now.
Have the best day possible everyone, hopefully a sunny day for us all.

Good morning everyone from DD1s in Cambridge where it’s a lovely sunny start to the day wth a bit of frost on the ground
Sorry to hear you’ve been so poorly Baubles but pleased to know you’re feeling a bit better now, take it easy
We had a lovely day yesterday, it was warm enough to sit outside with coats on in the afternoon in the sunshine. The other grandparents came round and we all had a really enjoyable family dinner and then watched Paddington 3 on their big screen. Today youngest DGS has his birthday party at the local sports hall and then all the children are coming back to the house for pizzas etc. so it’ll be a busy afternoon!
FGT 💐
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good Morning from Durham. Just light and another sunny day forecast. Yesterday, I had a day of garden and garage sorting, until DD1 and family popped in on their way home. Today, DD2 is coming here with DGS2. He loves to be out in my garden, which is huge compared to his. No doubt, there’ll be a bag of laundry.
When I had builders here last year karma I gave them quite a lot of DH’s tools. I had no need for them and hope they’re being well used - as you say, expensive items.

Best wishes to all. X

Morning Mick, morning All from a frosty corner of Somerset. A beautiful sunny day ahead. Wonderful.

A very happy day with our grandson yesterday, his parents thought it was a more than odd way to choose to spend our anniversary, we loved it as it’s a rarity now. Many thanks for the kind wishes here.

A gentle morning before we head out for lunch, a wait and see afternoon.

It’s hard when we want to help but circumstances prevent it bellasnana, hope the little one is home soon. Good to know you’re feeling better baubles, take it gently.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning everybody from Málaga where it’s still not really light yer but it’s raining so it’s grey anyway. A sad anniversary of my mum’s death 7 years ago which I shall mention to my stepfather on our daily telephone call. Doubtless I shall raise a glass to such a much loved lady sometime today. I think we plan to eat out this afternoon just not sure where.

Good morning from s somerset, freezing cold just now but it will be sunny all day

Yesterday was varied, including a trip to the plot, where I always meet people, I did not stay long. I did two tip trips after dismantling two big items from the garage. I set up a tall sturdy aluminium cage in a 1m square raised bed to the side of my house, for my one and only sprout plant, no point growing more than one. I got rid of old cage bits, years old, after one of the `flexible` rods snapped

I have two boxes of carving wood in my garage to take to the mens shed. I have at long last, reached the decision to offer an excellent set of large electrical items to the people there, including a rarely used scrollsaw. All high value stuff. I will be having a look/see if they might use them, I won`t separate them but will donate them if they are keen enough. It has taken me 9 years to let them go

Up too early today and now have a resulting mess to sort. I pulled everything out from my larder unit. Its tricky to use, only opens about 6" and I need to see items more clearly. At least the kitchen will be sunny to work in

I am still wholefoods cranks based so have lots of different beans etc, All in containers for storage. I designed my last kitchen, which I do miss. Mostly it was narrow shelves behind doors

I would love to go out on a cycle ride, a short one but bravery is required to get up a hill without e power

Have a good day

Good morning from chilly South Lanarkshire.

Earlier in the week,after our family weekend away, I felt completely and inexplicably exhausted. The following day I came down with what has been the worst cold I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been ridiculously unwell, so much so that DH had to do our childminding stint on his own on Friday. Thankfully I’m back in the land of the living now but just shocked by how floored I was for several days. Is this just an age thing I wonder?

I won’t be doing anything exciting today anyway.

I’ll catch up with everyone’s news now and wish you all the best day possible.

Good morning from a happy granny on the east coast of Fife where the weathers just a little windy today. I had a social worker in last week to assess me for 6 hrs a week direct payments so that I can buy in carers in order for me to access the local community, fingers crossed the council don’t turn me down like they did last year, they’re short of money, I got my social hrs reinstated after my MSP wrote to them good ole Jenny Gilruth.

I’m going to church today for the first time in ages, Bellasnana don’t worry too much about the new baby, new baby’s are very resilient even although they look so vulnerable, mum will get through this too, my daughter had the blues after her first one, it was awful to watch her depression, however 14 yrs later she can recall that period with positivity and she’s an absolutely fabulous mum

Have a good Sunday my friends love to you all 💕

Good morning from Malta where we are promised a cloudy, hazy, humid day with a high of 18°C.

It was hot in the sun yesterday but the wind was cold. I got a few jobs done around the home before meeting my friend for a hot chocolate. We had a good chat but I feel I was a bit of a misery as it has been a week of worries one way and another.

My niece ‘s new baby boy (born a week ago) was taken back into hospital with Group B strep, and I have been so worried about my niece who has been feeling overwhelmed at becoming a mum without the worry of a poorly baby. I wish I could go and help but I’m tied up with the boys.

Today I will go to Mass then have a chat with my friend in Leicester, after which I might go down to the garage and do a bit more sorting. A depressing task but one which needs doing.

Wishing a happy Sunday to you all.☀️

Good morning from Bristol. Looks like a third heavy frost before a lovely sunny day. It makes such a difference to the morale!
Ash, I hope you managed not to sleep on your bad hip. MD, may you have an unharrassed day; FGT and Himself have another happy day in their happy place… and Everyone else has a peaceful day.
My Saturday was as all other Saturdays, coffee in church then empty.
Yesterday, I was messing around trying to plan a 🌷tulip appliqué cushion for my neighbour, whose birthday is next Saturday. I shall do bits of it over the week.
Today, much of the same. As my “sewing room” is unheated, I try not to spend too much time there.
The back of my jumper is finished; the one I tripped over in the eye hospital. It is going to look great.
Have a blessed Sunday everyone. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning everyone from the north 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 nest and belated Dydd Gwyl Dewi greetings!

Yesterday started mid morning after our late flight home and I simply didn’t catch up with you all until bedtime again! 🥂🍾for all the birthdays and anniversaries I missed and 💐 for the poorlies- nil carborundum and all that👏

Lovely to see Blossoming posting - you’ve a lot on your plate but like others on here, you keep buggering on as Churchill used to say 🤗

I shall be trotting out shortly to the next village for my 🗞️ and am hoping the daffs are dancing in the breeze. They were simply budding a fortnight ago and they’re such happy, uplifting flowers in full bloom 🤗

Another day at home with more washing and drying planned, some sewing prep for tomorrow and a very busy week ahead, running around after loved ones (including Mr PG)…oh I pay for my holidays folks 🤣

A peaceful Sunday for all 🙏

Good morning, there’s a frost here in south Glos but not as hard a one as yesterday, more sunshine today!
Yesterday a thick fog descended until mid morning when the sun came out. DH took the dog off for a long walk, I had an all day online art workshop and thankfully the internet behaved until the evening when it disappeared. Again. BT has finally agreed to send a new modem, so hopefully that will sort it out.
Today housework and start to tidy up the garden, it’s small but crammed with insect -loving plants so I’m mindful of not being too tidy. A few hours of pottering around outside in the sun, bliss 🥰
I will prune the roses as I go, they’re beginning to shoot, feed and weed as I go.
Wishing you all the best 🌹
