Good morning Mick, Annie, and all. I am late, again, but I have an excuse. I have been baking Bacon, Red Onion and Cheddar Muffins. See picture.
Marydoll, we have an eye level gas oven, so they are not that unusual.
It’s very blustery here, but dry and bright, at the moment. We are not that far from Windsor, so will it stay dry for the wedding?
To all who are having problems, {{{hugs}}} and best wishes. Here’s hoping that the expected babies soon put in an appearance.
To Annie, special thoughts and just wish I was near enough to come and visit. Have a virtual muffin for elevenses.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Have a good day everyone X

Marydoll, you have my sympathies, not that it helps. They say divorce is one of the most stressful situations you can go through, I think 'having the builders in' is up there in the stress stakes. We've just had them here for six weeks, and the firm we chose, despite excellent reviews and comments on their website - though of course being a sceptic, you never know how genuine they are - in our case, couldn't have organised a booze up in a brewery. I won't bore you with the details, don't want to drag up bad memories of arguments and chaos, suffice to say.... never again! Good luck.

Good morning from a damp, blustery NE.
Had a lovely lunch in a riverside gastro-pub yesterday and catch up with sister and BIL, today I am paying the price with a painful back hips and knees.

Good morning. Our last day in N. Devon and it is windy and pouring with rain which is forecast to last most of the day. We shall visit somewhere where we can be inside I think !
Best wishes to the poorly people and hope the babies arrive soon.

Good Morning from a wet and windy Black Country

Pop over to visit Mum today and maybe housework later.

Tonight we are going out for a meal where a live band is playing, so looking forward to that.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a bit of a blustery N Bucks.
Very autumnal which is as it should be in nearly mid October.
Skimming through everybody’s day ahead, the fish and chip lunch definitely appeals. I might suggest that to our Thursday group!
Good wishes to poorly Mr F in Somerset and Corner nearby (?) Wild weather has its own appeal doesn’t it? It can be quite majestic even. (As long as it doesn’t make life too difficult.) I remember a wet and windy Christmas at DD’s weekend house high up on a ridge between Crewkerne and Chard and feeling very snug and safe as we felt the wind whistling around outside. There is even a pub called the Windwhistle Inn just along the road.
I have my first session with my acupuncturist today. I hope I am not needlessly pinning too much faith in it, but I am finding especially the nights very hard to cope with.
Wishing you all a pleasant day - but hold on to your hats ! ?

Good morning from a grey, breezy Colchester.
Feeling a bit morning after the night before after my niece's wedding yesterday.
DD1 may pop in with DGS3 today but otherwise a quiet one here.

PECS Fri 12-Oct-18 08:12:16

Good morning to you all! It is a blustery morning here but clouds are high..so we may see the sunshine a bit later. I am off for a blood test soon and this afternoon have been invited,by DGS2, to a grandparents' tea party in the school hall. The invitation said there will be ' surprises ' ? Hope they are good ones!

Willow10 Fri 12-Oct-18 08:04:56

Good morning all. Blustery but very mild in East Northants. I think we are due some rain, so it's out with the raincoat for ten pin bowling this morning, followed by a bit of shopping. Hoping to stock up for C ****s with a bottle of Coffee Baileys whilst it's on offer in Tesco's. The last one mysteriously seems to be half empty already! Have a pleasant day everyone.

Mapleleaf Fri 12-Oct-18 08:01:15

Good morning,
Greyduster has the forecast spot on. Not cold, though.
Hope the kitchen gets fitted today Mary.
Those of you unwell, I hope you feel a bit better today.
Have a good day, everyone. ?

Greyduster Fri 12-Oct-18 07:55:28

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Dreary and blowing a gale in South Yorkshire with heavy rain forecast, so not a day to be out and about. Ironing, and the I will do some baking later. Have a good day, folks.

DoraMarr Fri 12-Oct-18 07:53:25

Good morning from rainy Birmingham. Off to fetch my year old grandson, who will be staying overnight while his parents go away. I hope it brightens up so I can take him for his usual walk to the park- he loves going on the swings! I have a book review to write (our writing group is shadowing the Booker) so will have to make a start on it while he is napping.

gillybob Fri 12-Oct-18 07:49:29

Good morning everyone. Hope those babies arrive soon x

Thank goodness it’s Friday.

Blue45Sapphire Fri 12-Oct-18 07:47:03

Good morning all - very windy here in Northampton this morning but at least it's not raining. Not much planned for today, so will probably watch the wedding this morning. Then pick GDs up from school this afternoon for tea. 10 year old comes back from her first school residential today, so no doubt will be tired and mucky, but happy. Remember going to the same place three times with my yr 5s in my far-off teaching days (lead teacher one year!) and they will have had a busy and fun-packed three days.

...and oldgoat, kitty ... it’ll be a marvellous tonic.

kittylester Fri 12-Oct-18 07:30:54

Morning nina, corner.

It would indeed be silly nina! grin

Morning All

An apricot sunrise here in the north of Norfolk. And quite breezy.

I hope all goes well for you today Marydoll, the end is in sight and at least it’s progressing. Our neighbours extension has changed shape for the last month!

Fingers crossed it happens today Kitty. It’s my DGD’s seventh birthday today as well as Gagagran’s DGD’s. A good day for being born.

I’ve got a head cold and am debating whether to go to art class. I’ve got past the headachy feeling really grotty stage and aren’t too snuffly, but am wondering how infectious I am now. They’re a nice bunch at art class (it’s more of a coffee morning with paint). I missed last week and will be DC sitting next week. I think I’ll be ok if I sit by myself in a corner - won’t I?

ffinnochio Fri 12-Oct-18 07:30:17

Thank you NanKate.

oldgoat Fri 12-Oct-18 07:29:37

Morning all.
I haven't looked out yet this morning but judging by how the curtains are flapping about it's windy outside.
Sorry to hear about your OH ffinnochio but I'm sure you will all be cheered up by your sons' visit.

We are finally off to order the furniture for our new utility room. Hope the fitters will sort out your kitchen problems marydoll. Sounds a bit of a nightmare!

Taking our little dog to his holiday home today where they have two huge dogs and a C A T. He loves it there and comes home kna tired out from chasing round their garden.
Then packing for our trip to 'Bonnie Scotland ' tomorrow. The forecast isn't looking good.
Hope baby will put in an appearance soon kitty Is your daughter getting fed up with the wait too?
Have a good day everyone.

kittylester Fri 12-Oct-18 07:29:15

Morning all from a blustery north Leicestershire.

I am sorry to hear about you dh too, ffin. I have missed you telling us about it but I expect it will be nice you see your sons

It will be worth it Mary - honest!!!!

Enjoy the fish and chips gaga.

cornergran Fri 12-Oct-18 07:25:52

Morning Mick, morning All. Wind is howling and rain is horizontal so no plans to venture out in our corner of Somerset. Sometimes being on the coast is ‘interesting’. Wishing everyone well today, stay safe.

ninathenana Fri 12-Oct-18 07:25:32

Morning everyone.

Very windy in Kent but no rain. The forecast is for sunshine in the S.E. corner.
Usual supermarket shop and we have to pickup DD's birthday present so it would be silly not to go for lunch in the pub near by wouldn't it.
Have a good day everyone.
Come on baby, it's not so bad out here smile
