Good Morning Tuesday

Morning Mick and everyone.

Can't see what it's like out but I can here the wind.
After defrosting and throwing stuff out from the freezer yesterday I now have room to buy the turkey today.
Will have coffee whilst out.
DH in a lot of pain with lower back/ hip. He's still asleep, hope he's better today.
Hope everyone is healthy and happy.

hear not here my brain not functioning yet

Good Morning Mick, nina and everyone!

It is too dark to see what the weather is doing here on the south coast but the forecast is for wind and rain. Oh joy. We are nearly at the shortest day though so very soon the light will be coming back and I already have tulips peeping out of plant pots outdoors.

I have done all the things on my list so today can just pootle and faff and catch up on some TV recordings.

I also need to get to grips with the new microwave which arrived yesterday and is highly techno compared to the old manual one which has just given up the ghost. I can't absorb the instructions with DH leaning over my shoulder so will choose my moment!

Hope the day is a good one for us all and that those feeling unwell are on the up.

Morning all.

Not looked out yet but it is very dark.

Hairdresser today.

Morning all. Dark, damp and windy in Northampton at the moment.

Out for lunch today with a friend I made when we moved to Northampton in 1972. A colleague at first, and then DH and I became close friends with her and her DH. We have both lost our DHs now, so nothing needs to be said; we both know how the other feels. I should imagine a bottle of wine will be drunk...neither of us driving, by the way, destination easily accessible by bus!

Then try to sort my Kindle Fire out; it won't charge, and even loses charge when it is plugged in and supposed to be charging. Trying to run it right down and then charge back up from empty. If that doesn't work, then might have to treat myself to a new one for Christmas....love my Kindle and would feel lost without it.

Might marzipan the Christmas cake this afternoon.

Hope you enjoy the show tonight, Mick. I would really like to see that one.

Good morning Mick and all you early risers. It's blowing a hooley here in Glasgow and it's pitch black.

I have been up being sick during the night and the cough is back! I'm feeling pretty miserable and sorry for myself. DH, as expected never heard a thing and slept through all the noise!

Nina, I'm also going to attack the freezer and try to make room for all the frozen veggies, easier said than done!
I have the hairdresser too, dragonfly and it means going out at 8.30 in the rush hour -another moan! What a cheery person I am this morning.

We got a new all singing and dancing microwave recently, you would have to be a member of Mensa to follow the instructions.
However, I have discovered the melt facility. It's so useful when baking.

We then have to brave the elements and pick up our wee granddaughter from nursery, so a busy day today. She is terrified of Willie Wind, so we may resort to bribing her with Jelly Babies to get her outside.

Have a good day, whatever you are doing.

Good morning all from East Northants. Too early to see what the weather is doing, but I think the forecast is for a dry day. I hope so, I'm taking great grandchildren to see Santa today. It's wonderful to see Christmas through the eyes of children again. Enjoy the show Mick and the wine Blue! Have a good Tuesday everyone.

Gagagran - I think it would be easier to fly a rocket to the moon than get to grips with my new microwave. So far I can only warm up food and still can't defrost! Good luck with yours!

Morning all from a windy North Leicestershire- not the best day for the hairdresser dragonfly!

I have Wolfie this morning!! and then a pedicure this afternoon!

Morning to everyone and to those who follow. Still dark here in Fife obviously but I reckon it's not to be a very nice day later on. Still not feeling 100% but just getting on with everything that's to be done. Have 2DGS today whilst DD is away at the hairdresser but don't think we will get out so busy day entertaining. For those feeling under the weather keep on going and hope you feel better soon.

Greetings all from a dark, windy and dreich Aberdeenshire. Phil the roofer came yesterday and replaced the roof ridge...he's coming back today to replace slates so I can fly South on Thursday without having to worry about storm damage.
Will start packing my suitcase today...I never know what to take so everything's laid out in the spare bedroom. Shall probably change my mind umpteen times! Jersey Boys sounds good, Mick. Enjoy!
Hope all the poorly GN's are feeling better soon.

Good morning All x

I've no idea what the weather's doing as it's so black outside. Can't hear any rain but there seems to be a hint of the winds again----phooey, I don't like the gales.
Spent a lovely few hours with friends yesterday enjoying our Christmas dinners.

Must finish last letter today ( annual ) and get it sent off then that's that. It'll cost me £20+ in stamps----expensive !

Hope everyone stays well and warm. Those who are off colour, have a dark rum it works wonders.

Morning All

After a lovely sunny (but freezingly cold) day yesterday we’re back to overcast, cold and miserable here in Norfolk.

I’m collecting DGS from school this lunchtime and he’s coming back for a sleepover and staying over tomorrow. GDog will be coming too - but not recently acquired GCat. GDog and GCat have bonded amazingly so I hope she’s not too upset at being left!

Stay warm and snug all, especially Marydoll and those feeling poorly. Not long now before the days start to draw out.

Good Morning from a very blustery Black Country, not long back from taking Partner to train station.

My DD is 40 today! How did that happen? She is at work today, so I am popping over later this afternoon, as her DH has organised a meal out for the two of them and I am babysitting. This is a surprise for her. She has already had a weekend in Dublin and a family meal just over a week ago.

This morning I am paying a visit to my Ex-Manager, then onto a hair appointment.

Hope everyone who is ill and feeling down, will feel much better as the day/week progresses.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a grey, windy Colchester. Not too cold though.
We seem to have acquired half a bottle of rum, so I had a hot rum and ginger last night....good for what ails you!
We seem to be prepared for next week. Filled the freezer and emptied the bank account yesterday. A few bits and bobs today.

Morning Mick and All.

Cloudy and slightly warmer in South Bucks.

Sorry to hear of the resurgence of your cough Mary and the horrid sickness that goes with it. I still have a low level cough, when will it go ?

Have fun with Wolfie Kitty.

DGS the elder reacting to the sad goings on in his family. I just want to be with him, hug him and say all will be well.

Off to chiropodist and more bloomin’ shopping.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Grey and cold here in South Yorkshire. I am another exploring two freezers to see where I can make space today. I shall also be baking. Marydoll you may have to bribe me with jelly babies to get me outside today too! Have a good day folks.

It feels quiet mild outside, just got in from feeding the birds in the garden, although it is damp.Can't wait to get ready to go out as suffering a head cold and the fresh air will do me good i think. Off to meet up with friends for coffee this morning, i need cheering up as feel very low at the mo due to family bereavement and have lost my christmas spirit,. Feel like i just want to walk and walk...............

Good morning from a damp and cloudy Birmingham. I’m going to take back most of the things I collected from JL yesterday, then do a bit of Christmas shopping. My Italian group is meeting at mine this afternoon- we’re going to make a paper star following instructions in Italian, and chat about our week. I’ll get a pannetone to get us in the mood. I hope everyone who is under the weather feels better. Enjoy your evening, Mick!

Morning Mick, Annie to come and all. There are quite a few who are under the weather, so take care and try not to do too much. A bit of cosseting helps, especially if aided by a hot toddy or three.
I finished wrapping presents yesterday, but need more gift tags, so will get them when I go out later to volunteering.
My cake needs icing, but will get round to it some time.
Yesterday I made some marzipan fruits and will try to joosh them up in a bit. They look not too bad for a first effort.
Enjoy your day one and all.

Morning Mick, Morning All from a wild and wet corner of Somerset. Not even marys jelly babies would get me out of the door this morning. Need a catch up day, just not sure the energy or motivation is there. Time will tell. Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.

Good morning all x

Good morning Annieb x

Finish wrapping gifts today. Daughter finally back home after flight was cancelled. Two buses, two trains and then Hook of Holland Ferry to Harwich. Fortunately my car can be a 7 seater so Mr GG was dispatched to pick them up once the ferry docked last night!!!

GS was so pleased to see his Mummy this morning.

Off to London for the matinee of Bat out of Hell tomorrow then dinner at a recommended restaurant (Hawksmoor) to celebrate Mr.GG’s Birthday.

Wishing you all a peaceful Tuesday ??

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Hi everyone, fairly grey day here in the south east. Had a lovely late birthday lunch courtesy of my son yesterday at a Thai restaurant, delicious It was nice to do a "one to one"

Taking our dvd player to an electrical repair shop today hoping they can fix it before Christmas, I have "Zog" to record for grandkids (latest Julia Donaldson) her stories are always so good. Other than that gym and a few bits of Christmas shopping.

Have a good day everyone.
