Marydoll flowers Sorry to hear you’re ‘no weel’. Everyone is missing your posts. I think we all knew you were still doing too much! And that was the stuff you admitted to doing! Rest, hot water bottles, Turkish soaps, and TLC from DH are the order of the day.
It’s a dreich day in Kent. Can’t believe it’s less than four weeks to Christmas. Have a good day all!

A late Good Morning from Durham.
Grey, but dry here. It was a late night for DGS1, as he has ‘discovered’ reading. Dyslexia runs in the family, so it’s not been easy.
He and DGS2 enjoyed meeting up after school last night to see Fenwicks window display and Newcastle’s Christmas lights.
We’ve no plans for today, but he has a new Lego to construct, which will take him hours.
Sorry to hear our Marydoll isn’t well. Thank you GG13 for the update.

Best wishes to all. X

Morning from South Lanarkshire and 💕 to Kalu
I’ve been scanning rather than reading over the last week or so, another of my close friends has become seriously ill, I can hardly believe the suddenness of this. Still hoping but very distracted just now. I do keep all who need it in my thoughts and send good wishes to everyone.
Glad things going well for your family Karma

Late good morning from the NE where the forecast is for rain all day.
Had a message from DS to say that GD had a dreadful cold so she wouldn't be well enough to visit. Maybe he will come tomorrow, he says he doesn't want me to catch it.
GD at university has been poorly all week with flu like symptoms and had to stay in bed. She had just returned after Reading week.
Sorry to hear Marydoll is poorly, hoping she feels better soon.
Thoughts are with those who are poorly and sad.

For Kalu on this anniversary day with bittersweet thoughts.
And for Marydoll who is unwell and not posting.

Good morning everyone from a very wet Northampton, glad I went out to shop yesterday in the lovely sunshine.
Successfully collected my new shoes, tried them on in the shop, a perfect fit. As the shop is sited in a garden centre with a cafe, I decided to have a coffee and was tempted by the lemon drizzle cake which was delicious.
Had forgotten there was a Waitrose next to this garden centre so decided to do my shop there instead of my usual visit to M&S Food and Sainsburys, which made my journey home easier.

Will be making my Christmas sausage rolls later on today; I normally get 4 dozen cocktail sized ones out of one batch - if course I shall need to try a couple for quality control purposes.....
Then will spend the rest of the day perusing the Saturday newspaper, and my rugby team's match is on tv early evening.

Now to go back and read the whole thread to see what everyone is up to.
Wishing all a pleasant day.

I've just seen that Marydol is very poorly.
My warmest thoughts are with you Marydol. Hoping you feel better very soon. flowers

Good morning from a very damp and grey Black Country, where it rained overnight, and it is forecast for most of the day!

So only plans today are staying in and housework. MrJ has a recipe for cooking Duck Breast for dinner tonight.

Sorry to hear Marydoll is so unwell. Hoping that you feel better soon MD

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

Mary D and the FGT2S 🪻🪻🪻

We had a lovely day yesterday. Early breakfast in our nearby town, an excellent Art Society lecture and finally lunch at a gem of a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.

Not sure about today. I may do some baking. I have the Australian presents to post and others still to wrap. Plus all the cards to be written.

Have a good day.

Good morning Mick and everyone.
It's a wet day here in Shropshire.
I had a lovely day yesterday with my family, celebrating my grandson's birthday.
My son in law fixed the window which wouldn't close. I think the problem was more my arthritic fingers than the window's locking mechanism.
This afternoon I'm having my hair cut. It's five weeks overdue because of moving house.
Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
I was glad to wake in my own bed but I had a very nice few days with DS3.

I arrived home from Nottingham at midnight. The train was delayed an hour, due to a previous "incident". At least I got some knitting done and was met in Edinburgh by my kind friend who drove me home as I dreaded trying to find a bus or a taxi at that hour. It's noticeably colder here.

I'm booked on a spoonmaking workshop this morning and have Gaelic café this afternoon.

Enjoy the various Christmas markets everyone.

Kalu flowers

Well done family Karma.
I hope you all have a good weekend.

Good morning from a wet W Kent. Off to farm butchers to buy a turkey crown and then on to a local Priory to light some candles, sadly we keep hearing one lot of bad news after another.
Thinking of Marydoll and Kalu
Best wishes

Good morning all from a wet Black country.
No plans as yet but there is a Christmas fayre on at local church so if the rain stops will take myself there.
Over to our friends in Redditch this evening.

Hope Marydoll feels better soon 💐.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.
Usual Saturday full English calling so enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find a little bit of ☀️.
