Good Morning Everyone,
Its another partly cloudy start , with it feeling cooler here in Brackley.
Bus Pass at the ready with trips to Buckingham and then Bicester vice versa, reason I go via Buckingham we have no direct bus link to Bicester since cuts a few years back.
But I do occasionally meet up with former work colleagues in Bicester a brief chat etc, also in Buckingham as well.

Congratulation Sprout, lovely to hear good news.

Good morning all from an overcast Devon, sun is trying to break through without much success. Day for houseworkhmm

I will go out later to check out the Post Office & General Store in the next village. Sadly on Saturday our PO & General Store closed due to owners Retirement, no-one was interested in buying a very profitable business, a sad loss for our Community.sad

Good morning from lovely Cornwall, where we are spending a few days. Blue sky with white clouds and wind blowing - and views of the sea. Will go for a walk, but mainly be glued to the news. What an extraordinary time this is.

Good Morning All x
Breezy again ( it's always bloomin' breezy here ) except that you can feel that nip with it now but at least it isn't raining-yet.

Best wishes to Sprout, that'll put a spring in your step !

Thoughts to those who are not so grand and gillybob I can relate to your feelings as I had all that in the past x. It does get better but just keep prepared for the unexpected then nothing comes as too much of a shock.

A couple of B/day cards to write, one to send to Oz to a GS who'll be 30. There are a flurry of Birthdays coming up.
Some shopping, mainly a weeks supply of cat-food but also I'm going to look at jumpers in readiness for winter.

I hope things are okay for everyone today.

Congratulations sprout, fantastic news. I’ve just had an acupuncture session to try and relieve my anxiety!
Very cloudy and chilly in York!

Morning all from a sunny South Notts. The sky is blue and I think it's going to be warm again - though I put the heating on for a little while yesterday evening for the first time.

Congratulations Sprout, now if my memory serves me well, are you the same lady who took a nasty tumble the other day? If he has proposed with you bandaged up, swollen etc then it must be the real thing!

Expecting a visit from sister later for the usual chinwag.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Good morning from sunny Shropshire.All we had planned for today is a trip to the tip,we are sorting out the garage,it’s going to be a long job.Have had a phone call from my mum so may have to take her to the drs which is a 120 mile round trip, also a message from DD1, she may need us to look after DGD.So not quite sure how the day is going to go!
Congratulations sprout??
Marydoll I hope you and your little granddaughter start to feel better very soon.
Sending love to dragonfly,hope everything went as planned yesterday?

Good morning everyone,
It's a bright but nippy morning here today. Not sure if the sun is set to remain or disappear.
Many congratulations to you, Sprout. Such lovely news to read. ???
To all feeling under the weather, I hope you soon feel better.
Take care.

Good morning everyone from sunny Malaga. I have a slight hangover .... oh dear. Met up with my ladies yesterday for wine & tapas, home to eat and then we went out to a bar to see friends - their long holiday had finished - I don’t usually go back out on Mondays (for good reason!). I’m not up for a swim. I think we will go out and eat a full English breakfast.

Congratulations Sprout! Did you have an igloo about a proposal? ?

Sorry to hear your little granddaughter is poorly Marydoll I can imagine your concern for her. I hope she is better soon.

gillybob it’s sad to read that you feel so down. You truly are amazing in all you do for everyone. These last few months have understandably sapped your strength and enthusiasm. Big hugs for you.

I do hope dragonfly’s operation went well.

We have been invited to a silver wedding celebration tonight. As it’s Spain, the party starts at 9:30pm! I may need a siesta this afternoon ....

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all others. Today it's greyish outside, but hoping it stays dry, so I can put the washing out. When it's done!
Emails to write later, and then volunteering this afternoon, and see if the premium bonds have had any luck ?
To all those feeling under the weather, hugs and wishes for a speedy return to better health.
With special good wishes to Dragonfly, (it's a year since my operation).
Sprout, congratulations to you.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning to all from a wet and drizzly Fife. Not pleasant at all and makes me want to stay indoors, I'm very much a fair weather person I'm afraid. Congratulations to you Sprout - wow how exciting for you all and good news to spread with us GN's so thanks. Marydoll poor you this is not what you need leading up to your hols in Rome also your dear little DGD hope you get all her meds stuff sorted today with doc. Thinking of dragonfly, hope all went well for her yesterday. Gilly, so unlike you to feeling bit down, I know how you try and keep yourself on a cheerful note which I do so admire, keep your chin up. Try and think of some nice things today. Grammaretto hope your DGD gets on fine today, try and not worry too much.. Sorry if I have missed anyone out who have worries and problems. Thinking of everyone today flowers

Still lying in bed here, on holiday in West Wales, listening to the sea! Congratulations to Sprout. Hope you will both be really happy. TOYA with worries and health problems.

Urmstongran Tue 03-Sep-19 08:09:57

I’m late this morning! I’m going to read all these posts first and then post - which will make me even later IFKWIM!

gillybob Tue 03-Sep-19 08:03:30

Good morning annsixty I do hope you are well. It’s nice to see you here on the Good Morning Thread. smile

annsixty Tue 03-Sep-19 07:58:56

Good morning all from a chilly Stockport .
Usually read but don't post however I am hoping dragonfly is feeling relieved and comfortable this morning and to send congratulations to Sprout on her happy news.
Have as good a day as you can everyone.

gillybob Tue 03-Sep-19 07:58:27

Good morning from the NE coast where the sun is fighting it’s way out from behind the clouds. The weather forecast suggests the clouds will win as no sunshine forecast for today .

Strange Tuesday morning here as it’s the children’s first day back to school, so they stayed at home last night as mum on a late shift, which has worked out well meaning that DGD2 can walk with her older sister to her first day at secondary school. Where have those years gone ?

I will be picking little Evie up in about 2 hours so no rest for the wicked and will have to take my dad for his shopping as usual.

DH has had a slightly better night. His appointment is on the 10th so I’m just hoping and praying they can arrange his operation for soon afterwards. He’s in a lot of pain and discomfort.

I’m feeling a bit down at the minute as this seems to have been one of those years (again) where nothing goes right. Rubbish weather and non existent summer, poorly husband, demanding family and nothing whatsoever to look back on and smile, or look forward to, except work, work and more bloomin’ work. It really gets to you. Still I suppose things could be so much worse.

To poor dragonfly I hope things went well for you yesterday and that you will soon be on the road to recovery. Marydoll I hope your mouth ulcers settle down soon and your DGD is feeling much better poor lamb.

Huge congratulations to you Sprout how lovely. A Gransnet wedding for next year. smile

To all those on holiday I hope you continue to have a lovely time , to all those feeling poorly I hope you fell better soon and to all those (like me at the moment) feeling a bit down I hope some sunshine comes along soon to brighten your days .

Have a good Tuesday everyone x

Good morning all from a cooler, greyer N Bucks.
Congratulations to Sprout ? and my commiserations to all of you who have woken up to worries or problems.
Feeling a bit dozy after a late (for me) night as some friends took me to a beautiful and thought-provoking Mexican film yesterday evening called “La Camarista “ (The Chambermaid) and then back to theirs for supper. Of course I was wide awake and wired when they brought me home and it was past midnight by the time I had walked Hattie and got to bed. ????
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Grammaretto Tue 03-Sep-19 07:54:26

Good morning Mick and all from the Scottish Borders. A cool and quiet day so far.
My DGD has a hospital appointment today which is my worry. It's orthopaedic.

Exciting news sprout ! smile

The croup is horrible Marydoll sending good wishes to your little one. Keep cosy.

harrigran Tue 03-Sep-19 07:50:31

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Will be leaving the house in an hour as we are meeting a bedroom designer to measure up GD's room. We are giving her bedroom a makeover for her birthday. It is not a surprise as we want her to have as much input as possible.
Congratulations Sprout.

Lins1066 Tue 03-Sep-19 07:35:13

Good Morning Mick and everyone. I t is drizzling here on S Welsh coast, feels Autumnal this morning.

Sending my best wishes to dragonfly and to your little GD Marydoll, hope she's better very soon.
Congratulations Sprout ?

Morning all, quite bright here in Bristol and moment we were suppose to have rain over night but everything looks dry.

Congratulation Sprout you must be thrilled .

Awake early this morning . Sorry you had another bad night cornergran and for your worries.

Hope all went well for Dragonfly.

NannyJan53 Tue 03-Sep-19 07:29:31

Good Morning from a still bright Black Country, where clouds are gathering!

No real plans today! So pootling and faffing round the house. Have pork belly for tonight, so going to make some stuffing!

It is lovely that you have a friend of such long standing BlueSapphire I have a friend I have known since I was 18 when we both started college, and I now live 10 mins walk from her. In fact I must ring her this morning to arrange our next outing"

How lovely Sprout, and so good his children were delighted! Many congratulations, was it a complete surprise, or did you have an idea he was going to propose?

Have a good day everyone.

Mythbirtthedragon Tue 03-Sep-19 07:29:07

Good morning from east London where it’s cloudy and cooler. Then again, by lunchtime yesterday, it was sunny and warm. But I won’t be here as I’m heading off for a walk in north Kent; a friend is leading a group walk there later in the month and has asked me to ‘recce’ it out with her. Directions include lunch break and tea rooms so that will keep me going.
Have a good day.

BlueSapphire Tue 03-Sep-19 07:10:54

Bit cloudy here in Northampton this morning, but promises to brighten up later. So good morning to everyone, especially Sprout who must be feeling very excited. What a lovely thing to happen!

Just put a load of washing in, then after breakfast a visit to the nurse for a blood pressure check. Then out for lunch to the local pub with a friend; it's within walking distance for both of us, so it's a good bet that wine will be taken.... We first met in our 20s, when we were both teaching at the local infants school. We hit it off and have been friends ever since - she and her late DH were godparents to my eldest. Both in our mid seventies now - where did the time go?

Hope everyone's day goes well.
