Good morning from a clouding and dull Black Country. A bit like Skiathos last week....only had a couple of days of sunny weather, never had so much rain on a Greek Island.

Anyhoooo...still enjoyed our break in lovely surroundings and no cooking! Met a couple there from Derbyshire in our Hotel who where there last year.

No Line dancing today as the teacher is away, and I will opt out of my Monday walk as hurt my big toe on holiday and hurts to walk...so will get on with the washing instead.

I had a new debit card delivered whilst away. One letter stated the card will work with your existing PIN, then another letter separately with a new PIN? How to confuse someone lol

Wishing you all the best day possible. With special thoughts to Marydoll & FGT's

Good morning from a still Suffolk after a sunny but chilly day yesterday.

Southwold was heaving yesterday and as we left just before midday,there was a solid stream of traffic entering. A friend who lives in the town showed me a tiny side street very close to the pier which always has space to park and no yellow lines so never any worries however busy it is.

The sea was quite rough as it came in,with huge waves crashing on the beach….magnificent to watch.

Apart from a trip into our nearest toeing to visit the post office it will be the usual walk with the dog and a quiet day at home.

As others,thinking of MD and hoping for a lesser of the evils as the outcome.

Good morning from a dry NE where the sun is now shining
Into my bedroom.
Yesterday I did nothing other than, watch TV, felt grotty, not sure ìf it is due to vaccination as I was okay for the first two days.
DD rang me during the afternoon and we chatted for about an hour. She has health problems which worry me.
Thinking of Marydoll, hoping the procedure goes well.
Thoughts are with FGT'S.

Good morning from dreich South Lanarkshire.

Lovely wreath GrannyIvy.

An anxiety inducing journey for you today Marydoll, thinking of you.

Your DD is lucky to have you Bella.

Safe trip home Sar, I hope your poor husband isn’t too uncomfortable.

I’ve no particular plans today but must get out for a long dog walk, there’s been so much rain recently and neither she nor I get a lot of pleasure from trudging through the puddles.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

A successful trip yesterday to order new sofas and chair. Choosing paint colours for the walls is going to be the difficult job.
Housework and laundry this morning and WI knitting group this afternoon.
Sending thoughts to all with medical appointments and other problems to deal with.

How rotten Sar safe journey home for you both.
Your daughter is fortunate you’re so amenable Bellas.
Lovely late lunch with the children and grandchildren yesterday, grandson scored two goals in the morning helping his team win.
We then won venison and chicken breasts in the usual meat draw.

Good morning from sunny Wiltshire.

A rather quiet weekend. My dahlias did not appreciate the wind on Saturday and many flowers were snapped off. They are still in full flower but won’t last much longer.

School pickup later.

Thoughts with MD and FGTs.

Have a good day all

Aldom Mon 06-Oct-25 08:43:39

Thank you Susan56. The people from whom I am buying can complete around the third week of October, so fingers crossed for then.

hollysteers Mon 06-Oct-25 09:07:39

Good morning from a brightening northwest coast. Another quiet day in store, a walk, music study and house stuff. The week gets busier as it goes on.

Good morning all and it’s a calm day here in Essex.

We popped in to see DIL who was recovering from her op and was quite comfortable and happy that it was all over. We saw one of the gd’s the other one still snoozing after a late party.

Today we have ds2 coming for the day , ds1 will join us later for financial chat with advisors coming in too. My head will be 🤯.

Take care all 🌻

Good morning, Michael12 and all of you!

Storm Amy is currently over in Little Appleby, which is sad for me, as I love all the storms! She was a great and beautiful lady!

About 1:30 am, I was sitting in the kitchen with my laptop, guzzling a tin of Carnation Evaporated Milk and scoffing YumYums and watching a brilliant film called Natural Selection, from 2016, starring Ryan Munzert.

It was very well acted and also so true to life!

Have a brilliant day, all of you!

mamaa Mon 06-Oct-25 09:33:32

Morning all,
Ironing is beckoning me this morning and then deciding on suitable clothes to take with me for a week away with our caravan- going to North Norfolk tomorrow.
Frankly I’d rather stay home as it’s so late in the season but Mr M wants go as ironically we’ve not used it much this summer- too busy but not sure with what!

Hope MDs journey to the hospital is uneventful and the procedure likewise with results being the lesser of the evils 🤞🏻.
Thoughts with the FGTs too 💐

Have as good a Monday as you can all x.

Blossoming Mon 06-Oct-25 09:42:48

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire. It’s not raining at the moment, but it’s very grey and dark. MrB is coming to see me at around 10am and we are planning on going for a walk, weather permitting.
Wishing you all a Happy Monday, sending love and positive thoughts to Marydoll and the FGT2s.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Mon 06-Oct-25 09:54:28

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s chilly and damp. High of 17°C later but Alexa tells me it’s says to expect showers. Thank you for so many kind messages of support for our appointment at Christie’s this afternoon. x

BlueSapphire Mon 06-Oct-25 09:59:40

FGT2 Wishing for a positive outcome for your appointment today, thinking of you both.

GrandmaC47 Mon 06-Oct-25 10:06:15

Good morning from a bright Co Durham.
I’m glad it’s not raining as we are having new flooring laid in the downstairs hall and a second bannister installed, so we are in the lounge and have to leave via the French doors and round the house to access kitchen and downstairs loo. Minor problems I know.
So many of you are facing real challenges. Thinking especially of Marydoll and the Fgt’s.
Hope you get your walk Blossoming.

luluaugust Mon 06-Oct-25 10:27:44
