Good Morning Monday 5th January 2026

Good morning from a chilly W Kent where the cleaner has just contacted me to say she is not well, told her to stay in the warm.
We had a very happy day yesterday with the family, including four of the grown up grandchildren.
Today I am taking down all the decorations and we are supposed to have going to a U3A meeting but will see how things are after lunch.
Happy birthday kittylester
Best wishes

Morning from -2 in S Hants, we have a dusting of snow, guaranteed to excite the children as they return to school.
A very Happy Birthday to you kitty 🥳🎂, enjoy your day.
Good news on your plumbing corner 🙂 even if a temporary fix, I thought of you yesterday.
No real plans today, certainly no venturing out yet, I was reading yesterday recovery time from hip replacement due to trauma can take quite a while, cheered myself up!
Safe travels to those on the move, quick recoveries for the poorlies.

Happy birthday to you Kitty.

A very Happy Birthday Kitty. 👋💐

I do hope you can get your surgery done and dusted on time, so that you can get on with your busy family life.

Good morning from Torbay where it’s frosty yet again, a rare event here. I need to remind Jack Frost that this is The English Riviera!!

Thank you for the good wishes. It’s olddudders who needs them so I’ll pass on your kind thoughts. I expect the paracetamol saga related yesterday caused confusion. I need them on a regular basis for my arthritis. He is slightly better but the cough lingers and he barely moves from the reclining chair which is his choice for sleeping day and night.

I enjoyed the Epiphany Lunch yesterday and was pleased that the hotel had salmon on offer besides the usual carvery and delicious vegetables.

Thinking of the seriously ill among us and wishing everyone well who is returning to work or school.🦩🥰💐🙄🦩

Good morning from a very cold NE the snow that fell on Saturday is still here and forecast says there is 65% liklihood of more snow shortly.
DD and SIL are supposed to be coming to take me shopping for a new phone, we shall see.
Happy birthday kitty .
Take care in these icy conditions.

Wishing you Happy Birthday kitty 🎉🎂

Good morning all from the Black country where it is-5, we had more snow yesterday evening.
Need to go into town to post office I do miss our local one, will probably call into building society while I'm there save a trip out later in the week.
All decorations are down and away.
Happy Birthday Kitty 🎂🎉🎁
Pantglas I haven't had a win on the PBs in over 15yrs.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and take care if out and about ☀️

Good morning from a very cold Black Country, where it snowed once more overnight.

Travelled home yesterday from Lichfield in bright sunshine, so was hoping snow would be almost gone today

Doubt the Monday walk will go ahead today, as snow is fairly thick, so making soup and decide later whether to walk into town for Line Dancing.

My friend in Madeira was due to fly home today, but flight cancelled till tomorrow due to high winds.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning everyone from Cambridgeshire where we have a dusting of snow and -4 degrees. I guess this will cause chaos to those moving around early this morning as we are not used to snow in this area.

Today we will take the Christmas decorations down and put away in the loft. DD2 has invited us over this afternoon as the little ones return to school tomorrow. I think there are plans to get the Scalextrics out for grandad to repair and play 😂

Happy Birthday Kittylester and all the best for your op. Happy holiday Brook and hope all those feeling poorly have a good day. Onwards and upwards into 2026. Thinking particularly of those facing higher hills to climb ❤️

Good morning everyone from a freezing snow-covered Northampton; I'm glad I kept my heating on overnight, it made getting out of bed that bit more comfortable. Although it was still a bit of a shock as the 6.30 am alarm I'd set on Alexa did not go off (or I slept through it), and I eventually woke at 7.30!
However, now showered and dressed with a mug of hot tea, I'm feeling a bit better. Still hope to get out to yoga. One of the cats has the right idea - she's settled down onto her radiator bed!

Yesterday was spent dis-mantling the Christmas tree and packing its decorations safely away. I shall be taking the rest of the decorations and cards down this afternoon. Always takes me a few days to get used to the bare room.

Stay warm and wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning from an even colder Suffolk where we had more snow overnight. I haven’t been out of the house since Friday and don’t intend to do so today.

I’m supposed to be going by train tomorrow to London to meet a friend I worked with over 45 years ago but I’ve already warned him I’m unlikely to venture out on to the dangerous lanes and side roads for the few miles to the nearest station.

He has a long journey from Worcester but may still go as another friend was meeting us for lunch and then a visit to an exhibition at the British Library.

Happy birthday to those celebrating today. Gingster I was pleased to hear yesterday that you had tickets for the panto and I hope that you all enjoyed it,especially your DGD whose response to the aborted visit before was so kind to her mum.

Good morning all from Glasgow, where it is -6°C and I certainly can affirm that. Brrr.🥶

I have been outside in my jammies, covered by a wine coloured fur coat, (it was waiting to get hung up), which matched them exactly. 😁 I looked so elegant like a glamorous Hollywood film star of a bygone era.
DH had come up to alert me, that the back window in my car was down, He couldn't get into my car, because the seat was so far forward, so I had to get up. It was bitterly cold.
A lesson to always move it back.

Happy birthday, Kitty, good luck for tomorrow.

My plans fell apart yesterday, when DH informed me that the trees and decorations were coming down. We had agreed on today to do it. As expected there was anarchy and absolute chaos. 😭
I was fuming at having to shelve my plans.Thank goodness, DH can't hear well denied deafness , there were a lot of naughty words, muttered under my breath. 🤬

Today my plan is to do the tasks I didn't get done yesterday.
I will need to go and put back the ironed tea towels in the Parish Hall kitchen.
I have had a painful and restless night, with little sleep. I am not too well just now and thoroughly fed up with my lot. There is so much I want to do, but can't.

A word is needed with the P.P. He was contacted by people wanting to advertise on the website, under the guise of helping parents with their children.
They are in fact American bloggers, with a product to sell. Oh so clever!

I wish you all a pleasant day, stay safe and Brook safe journey.

GG 💐, I feel for you. That is why I declined a third course of the devil's drug prednisolone, it was affecting me very badly.x

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

I’m still in bed enjoying my morning tea. MrB has gone to Lidl. Yesterday’s snow seems to have gone, it was only a sprinkling in the end. We will be going for a walk later this morning so I hope the paths are not icy.

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

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

Good morning Mick and everyone.
Here in Shropshire we've had an overnight fall of snow. The previous lot had just cleared when I went to bed last night.
I intended to go to town this morning to collect a jumper from Marks and Spencer, but I'll leave it.
I will pop to the letterbox to post a birthday card to my oldest friend.
She's due to have a melanoma removed in a few days. It's only a few months since she finished chemotherapy.
Wishing Kitty a happy birthday and best wishes for her operation.
My thoughts are with those of you who are finding life challenging.

Good morning all and a heavy frost here in Essex.

We went to the Panto yesterday ‘Oh yes we did’, and enjoyed it very much. It was the last performance so a little risqué in parts but very funny. We saw another beautiful sunset over the sea/estuary so another bonus. Thanks for thinking of us Liberty.

Today I’m hopping on the train , just two stops along, and meeting my old school pal for coffee and probably a pastry.
Chat for a couple of hours and get the train back. Door to door it’s only 20 mins and not worth the drive and parking.

Keep safe all who are venturing out. ❄️

Happy Birthday Kitty. Hope your op’ goes ahead and is successful.
Happy Birthday J52

Happy Birthday to you Kitty, have a wonderful day 🎉🎂
I hope tomorrow goes well. x

Oops Happy Birthday J52 🎂🥂🍾🎉

Good morning all. A heavy frost and sunshine to start the day in Glasgow.

We had a barely worth mentioning smattering of snow whilst I was out shopping….I’m not complaining. I too collected a pair of navy M&S cords yesterday Grey. Perfect fit. Hope you are equally pleased with yours too.
I have been invited to,lunch at DD1s as GD2 will be back at school tomorrow and GD1 will be home too.

Happy birthday to J52 and kitty.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Happy birthday kitty and good luck.

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Quiet day yesterday, I practised some songs, did some mending and spent a frustrating amount of time trying to get into Now tv in the evening to watch the third series of the Gilded Age…

FaceTime with flying DD in Santiago, Chile which is longest stop over she has had so far and having a great time after a long flight.

I might go to a sing a round at a local folk club tonight, although my heated throw, books and tv are very tempting in this weather.
Happy birthday kitty 🥂

Another beautiful day here in Kent - sunny, blue sky, frost on the ground, very still.
Yesterday was very quiet. Church, knitting, reading, walking.
Today - gym then more knitting.
I don't live a very exciting life but am very contented with my hobbies.
Have a happy day all.
