Good Morning Everyone

From the Great Northern City.
Aka GNC.

Weather coolish,cloudy grey skies and overcast. Had breakfast, put some washing on and managed to book and actually get a Ring and Ride journey for for Hospital scan a week today.

A triumph. Hallelujah made my day

Read the. BBC news and was agog at the man who survived after a 11,000 fall from a plane.

Badly injured but my gran seemed to come off worst years ago when she slipped Donkey stoning the front step back in the day

Off now to take my Daily pain management potion of Paracetamol and Tramadol .

Have a Good Day Girls
And behave yourselves.

Love
😻

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. I fear the weather will not be sunny for very long! MrB visited early today so that we could enjoy a walk while the sunshine lasted and he will be back later. If Storm Amy hasn’t arrived, we will have another walk. The forecast says the storm will hit on Friday.
I hope today will be kind to us all ♥️

Good Morning from a wet Co Armagh, I’m hoping Art class is cancelled tomorrow , if my friend thinks she can drive through the weather she won’t want to miss it
Have a good day

Good morning from the West midlands.
A cloudy day here but rather beautiful too, with lovely hints of lilac in the clouds & a low mist over the fields.
Even though it's only 10.30, I'm thinking about lunch! I may even start having Elevenes's like I used to do. 😶

Wow Thankyou everyone, for such a warm welcome. 💓 Still trying to figure out how this works, settings etc. Hit or a miss with technology. So many kind replies. I am grateful to you all. Thanks Gransnetters. Wishing you all a positive day & healing energy to all.

Goodmorning grammaretto,
Thanks for the welcome.
Funny that, my own Granny was from Hawick. Born in Edin myself. Now live up north. Will always be a HEARTS fan.
Although, don't do the games anymore.
Heartbreaking (5yrs) Sending you strength and positive 🙏

Thankyou hollysteers,
Aww a wee baby bat.. Try not to let it play on your mind though, could always light a candle ✨️

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's sunny but I overslept. The alarm had been un-set.

Since I was awake for so long in the night I finished watching 2 Netflix films.

I tried to sort out financial stuff yesterday by way of the lawyer and the bank - both in Edinburgh. Both helped but there is still more to do. This dates 5 years since DH died.

Then I returned some clothes I had bought online but couldn't spend any more money as I'd left my purse at home!

I need to pack as I'm going away for the weekend. Nowhere exotic just a church conference near London.

Welcome to Scottishthistle.
I wonder if you're anywhere near me.

No wonder you are tired Grandmabatty. Try to rest a little today.
Thinking of Marydoll 🙏

Happy birthday to Iris. GM

Now to begin my day.

Tiny baby bat🦇 😢

Good morning from a brightening northwest coast. Opera co. AGM last night followed by a short rehearsal. I’ve decided to now sing second soprano aa my voice has dropped (as well as everything else…) but means I must work hard to learn the second line as the concerts are not far off. My best friend didn’t make it as her car was being serviced.
The cat left me a present of a tidy baby bat in the porch this morning.

DS 50th birthday today, hard to believe, apart from the difficult breech birth. He’s in London for gigs so a get together will be held when he returns.
DD leaves for the south today and has been v helpful with choosing a carpet for the newly decorated spare bedroom etc. The carpet fitter is coming this morning to measure up.

Iris🎂 Hello Scottishthistle and thank you for the tip for A Horseman Riding By karma, it looks good.
Thoughts to all🌺

Good morning everyone from a cloudy grey Northampton.

Plans have all changed today! Was expecting to be spending today emptying bedroom furniture in readiness for new carpet arriving tomorrow, but just heard from them to say it will now be Monday. However, I think I may make a.start on the job, only not with the urgency I originally planned.

Had a lovely day yesterday meeting RosiesMaw in Milton Keynes, shopping and a nice Italian lunch and . I was tempted and gave in to a pretty long-sleeved winter dress in FatFace; little bright orange flowers on a dark blue background, and the perfect length.

Sainsbury's delivery in about an hour, so I need to get myself ready for that.

I keep finding myself locked out of GN and having to enter email and password details every time, even though I keep ticking the "keep me signed in" box. It is getting to be a nuisance.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Thanks @Grandmabatty
Had a laugh at your post. Love it when the wee ones say the first thing that pops into their minds. (Sometimes) 😉 will read Mick's thread. Thanks grandmabatty.

Thanks @luluaugust

Good morning from overcast Wiltshire.

Parcels to collect today and a top up shop from M&S. First a phone call with a hip consultant,

When GD3 was in Reception she had a meltdown because she accidentally flushed a fly down the toilet whilst at school. She can’t bear the thought of any living thing dying. Well, this week she and GS2 who is currently in Reception have caught nits along with most of their classmates. D2 has applied lotion from the chemist. Cue another meltdown as “baby nits were going to die” - that aspect of her hasn’t changed. 😂

Grandmabatty so sorry to read about your current worries. I hope you feel much better today. Why on earth isn’t sedation given for painful procedures?

Sorry your anniversary went somewhat awry MD. I’m left speechless your vicar would turn up to an event with many elderly people whilst having Covid.

I would rethink your plans for tomorrow Merlotgran I’ve read Storm Amy will be bad in Scotland with ferries cancelled.

Have a good day all

Welcome to Scottishthistle. Mick's thread is very welcoming and there are many kind folk post on it.
I'm back from depositing the boys at school/nursery .I was taken to task by dgs1 for not parking right outside the gates(yellow lines) as he finds it "frustrating". When asked why, he said that his legs are too tired in the morning to walk far- and then he promptly began a game of football 😂

Thanks @jaxjacky 😊 enjoy your walk. Hope you beat the weather.

Welcome Scottishthistle

Thankyou so much @crossstitchfan @ GrannyGravy13
Not great with technology. Yes, I tried to register on mon or Tues however, site was not available. Thought maybe its a sign (to not join) Glad to be here though & wishing you all a good positive day ahead. I'm just pottering around the house today.

Good morning from cloudy s somerset

Up late today, I was determined that I needed to get back to good sleeping, back to the old routine of doing a few things for an hour before bed, no watching screens. I prepped the space in the boiler cupboard to see a tiny drip

Found out it was the pressure release valve doing its job and helped by me, taking out about a cup of water via bleeding a radiator. Pressure was normalised and there are no more drips or oozes. Boiler service or safety check today, I have a few questions ie is a service only necessary if the numbers are not right. I will be asking him how the heat exchanger is performing ie is it clean. They are local and trusted, I just need to know more

I only managed 6 rows of gansey pattern last night, I need to get my skates on and do more, I want this for DS for Christmas

Allotment visit yesterday was lovely, I cycled there wearing 4 layers and cycled back wearing two thin layers, the sun showed itself, I was warm

The whole plot is weeded, the quick way, with a hori hori or hoe apart from the bindweed which creeps in from next door, I dug all that out. The allium bed is ready and I have ample veg which will stand through winter

GM I am shocked at your vicars thoughtless behaviour, with covid, attending in a crowded room, many people there will get covid from him. How awful, all those elderly or unwell people, all at high risk. His covid bugs will have filled the room, just by breathing. Not a good character trait at all, could not care less about other people

Have a good day

Morning from a cloudy sis Hants and welcome Scottishthistle we were all new once!
Much better news Susan56 👍
Happy Birthday Iris 🦩
A very pleasant lunch with a friend yesterday, we called info the farm shop/nursery on the way home, I resisted the beautiful cyclamen. I must buy some bulbs today at another place with a better selection, I’ll try to avoid the tea and cake brigade as it gets very busy in the car park.
A walk will feature as tomorrow looks dire.
