Good Morning Friday 2nd January 2026

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
I’m rousing myself from the holiday inertia and yesterday practised songs, did some yoga and housework. Didn’t sleep well, my right hip is complaining…

Today I’m popping into town for a few bits and pieces. Flying DD is on her way to Santiago, first time and a fourteen hour flight.
Hello again Marzipan and thoughts to all🌺

Susan56 can you call ticket supplier or the theatre. They must have a record of payment and supply a replacement, either by email or maybe leave tickets at the ticket office.
I know this from experience 🙄

Good morning from Dunblane where we have a light covering of snow which has frozen overnight. Blue skies though so it looks very pretty. Yesterday as like most of the last few days was a nothing day due to infections not totally cleared up yet, another five days of antibiotics to go! Watched The Traitors at the Proms yesterday and quite enjoyed it as it was quite unusual . Think we will take down the decorations today. Grandmabatty.hope your leg is feeling less sore today that has been going on a while! Marydoll look after yourself . Good to hear that most of you have had some lovely family time but are also glad to get back to normal whatever that entails.

Good morning everyone from sunny and very cold Lancashire.

MrB and I have enjoyed a walk down to the river. The gates are open so we couldn’t do a circular walk. It’s -1 at the moment but no frost or ice, thankfully.

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

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

Thank you so much ginny.I copied your message to DD and we have replacement tickets.x

Good morning, Michael12 and all of you!

On the 1st of January, about 10 am, I was at our local Bojangles, as I don't, they don't celebrate Christmas or New Year, so they opened up when everything else was closed, apart from Spar and the Co-Op.

I had a gorgeous Full English Breakfast, a glass of water and a bottle of Peroni, £16.95 well spent! They are dog-friendly, so I made a big fuss of a Collie that I actually know, and the family sitting next to me had a doggy with them, so more kisses and cuddles!

Then, this morning on my way to the newsagents, I got leapt on by a doggy breed I don't know. Very big, long, very thick shaggy hair down to her feet, looks like a cross between a bear, a shagpile carpet and Dougal from The Magic Roundabout! Total stranger, random dogs just jump me like we've known each other forever! I'm 6'2, and she's nearly as big as me! She's absolutely gorgeous!

Have a good one, all of you!

Good morning one and all.
I haven’t read through all the posts, just got as far as Marzipan/Mizuna (welcome back), but thought I’d better stop reading and post before it became afternoon 😁.

It’s a beautiful morning here, with clear blue sky, but a niggly breeze which is making it feel even colder. I’ve got some washing on the go, so should be able to get that outdoors today.

I’ve decided to make a start on taking the decorations down, as I have had them in every room, so a bit at a time seems to be the best strategy. The trees will come down on Sunday.

Susan56 so glad it worked. Enjoy. !!

Lovely to hear from you Mizuna aka Marzipan22 and so glad you’ve recovered from your operation 👍☘️🙏🏽

Lovely to hear from you - glad op went well and you’re recovering 👍☘️

Thank you ginny☺️
