Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s just getting light and looks like the mist had eventually gone
A very Happy Birthday to your DH Liberty and to your DD2 redcar hope both the days go well
No plans for today although we’ll probably go for a short riverside walk in town and have a coffee at one of the nearby hotels. Just need to get out somewhere, I hope Jax managed a trip out yesterday too

Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning everyone from the East Coast. A cloudy dry day is on the cards.
We have quite a busy day it’s my DGSs birthday today and this afternoon we will go over to take his gifts. This morning I would like to sit with my new calendar transferring birthdays over and new year appointments plus wrap up GS gifts. This evening we are out for another meal with our best friends.

Happy birthday to your DH Liberty 🎉
and to anyone else celebrating birthdays today.

Wishing everyone a day with moments of joy. 💐

Good morning from a grey S E Essex it’s 6°

Another lazy day is in the cards, asthma still flaring, but hey ho there are lots of people far worse than me. I shall potter and do what I can do, and no more.

Happy Birthday to the birthday girls 🎂🍾

Thinking of those with worries and mountains to climb.

Special thoughts and (((hugs))) to my dear penpal 😘

Good morning from the NE where it is overcast but dry.
Yesterday I stayed in bed until about 2pm because I had a lot of pain and couldn't eat.
I never did get dressed but got myself downstairs so I could make drinks. I sat in the music room wrapped in a blanket and watched Christmas programmes. The scarecrows wedding was lovely even though I didn't have a toddler to watch it with.
Today will be another quiet day with a bland diet to give my tummy a rest.
Have a good day.

Good morning all drom Glasgow, where it is 5°C.

I'm still in bed, I have had an awful night, due to my persistant cough and unable to clear my lungs.
I'm so tired of it all.

GM, you got off lightly. Last night, I found three children's books about Christmas, a matching woolly hat and gloves, a pair of gloves, a shopping bag, a toy and a pair of glasses.
The lost property box is already overflowing!

Yesterday, I went to Sainsbury's, where I had a full trolley search, because I was switching one item for another and forgot to rescan. I felt like running away, as I felt unwell.
The only thing which stopped me, was the large, fresh turkey,vI had secured for £3. 🤣
It went straight into the freezer for Easter. DD said it was another Christmas miracle, because she knew there was no room in it.

Today, I will be doing nothing. I have no energy. I was late home from church last night, trying to sort the candle mess, left by the seminarian, DH was not amused and hoped I wasn't going out today.
He needn't worry, I haven't the energy to get dressed, let alone go out.

Dinner has already been made, traditional Scottish steak pie, so I'm all organised, thank goodness.
However, in the process of making it, I manged to slice open my hand, with a very sharp pair of kitchen scissors. I couldn't get it to stop bleeding. DH was no help at all. He just flapped 😞

I wished, you all a gentle Sunday and for those, spending time with family, make happy memories.

Good morning all from a dull Black country.
Have not been long out of bed so will catch up with everybody's happenings later.
Had a pleasant evening with friends their daughter and fiance joined us.
Today I shall make a start on one of my new books I received 6 for Christmas.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans and may you all find a little bit of ☀️.

A quick morning all from West Oxfordshire.

Our daughter went back to London yesterday and we now have our granddaughter until Wednesday. I am popping to the nearby town shortly to speak to a pharmacist about eye drops. My eyes are very watery and gummy at the moment and the drops suggested by the optometrist are making things worse!

Cinema later,

Have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a dull and grey Northampton, the first morning I have woken up in an empty house since last Wednesday. Just having a mug of tea while listening to the Kings College carol service again. I remember singing in the choir at a Saint Catherine's College (Cambridge) Carol service when I was a student, 60 years ago.....

Family all departed late yesterday morning yesterday, and I did nothing much after that; but I did manage to wash and dry all the towels used by 6 extra people! Will attack all the bedding at some time this week.

Enjoyed watching my team's fantastic rugby win on tv yesterday evening, playing away at Bath and beating them on their home ground!

Nothing planned for today, possibly a bacon butty for brunch then I will make something for dinner using up the remains of the turkey. Shall probably watch some catch-up tv, as we watched very little over Christmas.

Wishing all a restful and peaceful Sunday.

A late Good Morning from a grey, dry Durham. I thank those GN’s who have PM’d or referred to me in messages. I am devastated and really didn’t want to get out of bed again today. However, I’ve a long standing date with DD2 and DGS2, so no doubt I’ll get more details of the fallout between her sister and herself. It’s all DD1’s fault, I know that, but they are all I have, although it’s very difficult not to take sides.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Another dark dull day.

Yesterday was depressing. I must make an effort today to either finish something or start another project.

I bought some boots in the sale but after trying them at home I shall have to return them. They are tight.

Happy birthday Liberty's DH and any others I've missed. Enjoy your special days.
Sorry about the pain Harrigran and the cough Marydoll

Thinking of all of you with real worries. FGT flowers

I hope everyone has some joy today.

Jaxjacky Sun 28-Dec-25 10:32:46

Hip dislocated yesterday, so very fed up, sorry.

Jaxjacky

Hip dislocated yesterday, so very fed up, sorry.

Oh Jaxjacky how horrible for you, I hope you are not in too much pain or discomfort 🌸🌸

Good morning from a dull northwest coast.
I made more cards yesterday which will have to be New Year cards. They are for the art group who sent me cards and also thank you cards. I enjoy making them, particularly now I have found liquid glitter to put on my paintings, no mess!

DS left after doing a few jobs, fixing the garage door remote, checking the car etc,
I was very late, binge watching a series called Fake on ITVx which held me in its thrall. My heated throw which I love has packed up and I can’t find the guarantee..

Open mic tonight hosted by friend but I might just stay cosy after the Christmas celebrations.
Flying DDs birthday in the south today.
Thoughts to FGTs and birthday greetings to Liberty’s DH🎄

hollysteers Sun 28-Dec-25 10:36:03

So sorry jaxjacky💐

Redcar Sun 28-Dec-25 10:38:26

Ouch jaxjacky hope you get it fixed soon.

Retroladytyping Sun 28-Dec-25 10:39:10

Morning everyone from not as cold as it was yesterday Somerset. We still have no central heating after a man came, banged about a bit, did a temporary fix, with a promise to order a part and return next week. Temporary meant it lasted 2 hours so expecting another call and hopefully visit today. Himself got an oil filled radiator which takes the edge off but it's still cold. Makes me really appreciate how awful it is for those who live like that all the time.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sun 28-Dec-25 11:04:08

Oh no Jax 😱 how utterly devastating for you. You’ve been through so much too. I hope it’s a ‘quick fix’ of some kind and you are soon mended and back on track. x

glammagran Sun 28-Dec-25 11:14:41

My heart absolutely goes out to you JaxJacky. I’ve heard it’s a truly horrible complication and I suppose you are back in hospital. I fervently wish you a speedy recovery. 💐

Grammaretto Sun 28-Dec-25 11:27:03

Jax Sending you get well wishes.
What a horrible thing to happen.

EkwaNimitee Sun 28-Dec-25 11:30:21

How horrible for you Jax…. Hope you’re soon sorted and on the mend again. My very best wishes to you.

Blossoming Sun 28-Dec-25 11:37:04

Good morning everyone from overcast Lancashire.

MrB and I have enjoyed our usual walk around the Dock, it feels warmer out today after a few frosty days.

Sending positive vibes to our poorly grans and those with troubles.

Wishing you all a good day, whatever you’re doing.

Liberty Sun 28-Dec-25 11:39:51

Just want to say how sorry I am to read Jax’s message and hope it isn’t too painful and can be sorted out speedily.
Thank you for all your good wishes for DH’s birthday. DS and DGC have just driven up the drive bearing presents and cake.

Wish I could send a piece to Jax to cheer you up.

Blossoming Sun 28-Dec-25 11:45:00

Jaxjacky what an awful thing to happen. Is it the same side as the fracture? I hope you’re getting some effective pain relief. I think we need to wrap you in bubble wrap xx
