Good Morning Tuesday 1sst April 2025

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 4° and dry.
I've been awake for a couple of hours. The care home phoned to say mum died peacefully in her sleep. I will, no doubt, be busy with arrangements and calling people. I tried to contact my brother but he's switched off his phone. Have a good day all

Good morning from Bristol. We are all enjoying this gorgeous weather, it lifts your spirits.
Finally, had permission to have my eyes tested, now done, a big hole in my bank balance. Wonderfully, despite my complicated prescription, it’ll take only about week for new ones, instead of the 2-3 weeks it used to.
Not much to do today. I shall go to have my phone seen to, re. New SIM card and contract. DD can do it but she won’t be available until after Easter.
Baking for the FAB cafe tomorrow later, and Lent prayers this evening.
Enjoy the glorious weather while it lasts. Gentle hugs to those who need it. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

I’m so sad, Grandmabatty. 💐 🫂
There is a website called “tell us once” which is very helpful.

Thank you Matty.

Oh dear Grandmabatty
So sorry. So soon after she moved too.
Sending love and strength to cope with the days ahead. ❤️

Good morning from Malta where the forecast is for thundery showers and a high of 17°C.

Dear Grandmabatty, my heartfelt condolences to you on the loss of your mum. What sad news this morning 😞

I’m at DD3’s waiting for the boys to waken. This hour moving forward has really mucked up their routine.

I had a lovely day yesterday meeting up with friends who are over here on holiday. Really cheered me up to see them.

Wishing you all the best day possible.☀️

Good morning from a chilly Torbay, due to the wind.

Yesterday, I went along to Move It Or Lose It and it was good to be back despite not being able to stand for the routines. At the end I panicked when I couldn’t find my car (and flat) keys. Checked handbag and pockets but to no avail. In my excitement at being back, I had left them in the ignition! Phew! Luckily, my car was parked in the car park adjoining the church hall where we exercise.
I hope to attend Props at our theatre this morning.

My love and condolences, Grandmabatty 💐 on your loss.

Yes, here’s the link for tell us once:-
www.gov.uk/after-a-death/organisations-you-need-to-contact-and-tell-us-once

You will probably find your late mother's bank will need contacting too. I hope your brother will be supportive and share the administrative load.

Thoughts with those who are sad or unwell. 🦩💐✝️💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, sunny all day today

All jobs accomplished yesterday, including making 2 large Cranks wholemeal loaves, which I often made since the early 70s.

I totally messed up the ingredients for my cashew and celery soup, what was I thinking. I used 350g of cashews instead of 75g. It did not burn and was very thick, smelt like a lovely chicken soup. Waste not want not and I now have concentrated soup ingredients in the freezer, also can be used with pasta. Alls well that ended well and it did taste very nice

More outside doings today, perhaps the allotment but certainly I will be in the sun, maybe on my bike, whatever I feel like. Some years, this early sun is our summer, to be grabbed with both my hands while it lasts

Have a good day

Grandmabatty. Thinking of you in your sadness at the loss of your Mum. Sending love and strength for the coming days.

Heartfelt condolences to you Grandmabatty (flowers)

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
A couple from Australia arrived to help me in the house and garden for a few weeks. They claimed responsibility for the gorgeous weather, although secretly they had hoped to see snow. 😅

I had my post op checkup yesterday - a phone call, which went well.

I took my new visitors on a long walk to show them our local estate and stately home. I am still a slow walker but intend to get back to regular walks.

Birthday presents to buy for the DGC .and podiatrist.

Have a good day everyone with not too many tricks!

Good morning all. Our weather in Glasgow predicts many sunny days ahead which is a welcome change into spring.

A few bits of admin this morning before I clear out unwanted stuff from the garage then the day is mine to do as I please.
DD1 will be here for coffee after school drop off with Millie who will be staying with me for a while today, no particular reason apart from I love having her here. I am so looking forward to having a dog padding around the place.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your mum Grandmabatty my heart goes out to you. 💐

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good Morning from Durham.
A fine, sunny day is forecast,
Coffee with a friend today, which usually morphs into lunch.

💐Grandmabatty sad news.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Choir this morning, making a curry this afternoon and DS2 is popping in later.

Sending condolences to GBatty.

Have the best day possible everyone.

So sorry, Grandmabatty, 💐x

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex coast.
My condolences Grandmanatty, very sorry to hear your sad news.
DGD2 (16) was finally admitted to hospital last night after spending 9 hours there with her worsening asthma. I am waiting to hear how she is this morning.
Have the best day you can everyone xx

Oooh that was a good one…lightning and thunder a second apart here in St Paul’s Bay⛈️ on our last full day on this delightful island!

We’ve had the most amazing time Bellasnana and will definitely be back as there are so many places/sites we didn’t get to and that’s with a trip booked most days! Mr PG only had 3 mornings on the sunbeds as I insisted we’d come to sightsee not sleep😂

And now for the saddest news from Grandmabatty 💐. I was so pleased that you’d found a lovely home for your mum and I’m sure that thought will sustain you over the coming tough times without her x

Be kind to yourselves everyone 🥰

So sorry to hear such sad news this morning grandmabatty sending much love ❤️

So sorry to hear your sad news Grandmabatty.Sending you my condolences and love 💐

Morning Mick, morning All. A bright, sunny start to Tuesday.

A medical morning today. Mr C has an early covid jab, mine is re-booked a couple of weeks ahead when I should feel better, this throat-thing shows no sign of leaving me. Other than a call from the hospital O.T. nothing else on the agenda.

I’m so sorry grandmabatty, sending my condolences and love.

Hope you get positive news of your granddaughter sar.

Thinking of everyone facing challenges. Hope Tuesday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a bright W Kent
My condolences Grandmabatty.
A trip into town to visit the hub that now passes for a Bank, rather a long walk for me.
Best wishes to all

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny South Yorkshire. I managed to get quite a lot done yesterday, including in the garden, but I moved a bag of compost and have strained my shoulder, so we’ll have to see how today goes. GS asked if he could come for an overnight today, and help me in the garden, but he has some coursework revision to do so he’s postponed it until next week. I hope we don’t lose the weather. I may drive out somewhere this afternoon and go for a walk.
Grandmabatty my condolences to you and your family💐.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all.

Sending my condolences to you and your family Grandmabatty 💐

Good morning from Cambridgeshire.

Very sad news grandmabatty sending you my sincere condolences 💐

Enjoyed a lovely walk yesterday in the sunshine, a cloudless blue sky but goodness I was tired I am not used to hills living in a very flat part of the country. Today the plan is to catch up on a few household jobs and go out with DH on our e bikes before collecting the little ones from school. They both have horrible colds at the moment!

It is Book Club/Wine Club tonight which is really just a neighbours catch-up in the local pub.

Hope everyone has the best day possible
