Good Morning Sunday

Resurgam123, you are on Sunday's thread, if you click on this link
www.gransnet.com/forums/chat/1272140-Good-Morning-Monday. You will be able to catch up on today's news.

I have missed a lot of todays posts as my tablet was low on power then I went out.
It has been a good day but my feet are getting cold as is most of the rest of me.
Time for a warm up.

Another Goon show fan in my family in the 1950s and lots of other BBC shows as well. BBC radio is still excellent. In its comedy and general information.

Actually I remember the Goons very well! My father was a fan.

I'm just very interested in the origins of words, so I looked it up .
I was agreeing with you, it wasn't a criticism, just in case you thought it was.

If you’d been listening to steam radio in the fifties you’d have known all that but I guess you were still in nursery school, if there was such a thing then.....

Read your definition and added information about the suggested original source Megs36 ?

Marydoll.....what I said......

Glad to hear you’re on the right side of the awful chest infection EllenVannin and hope you enjoy your roast potatoes and beef. A good sign (at last). x

lurgy
/ˈləːɡi/

noun: lurgy; plural noun: lurgies
an unspecified or indeterminate illness.
"I had caught the dreaded lurgy"
Origin

1950s (originally spelled lurgi ): used in the British radio series The Goon Show and probably invented by its writers, though possibly from an English dialect term.

The LURGY, wondering where the word came from? Anyone remember theGoonshow on the radio in the 50s , Harry Seacombe, spike Milligan, Michael Bentine and their friends. I loved it ,so silly and so funny, the lurgy figured fairly high along with the Ying Tong song and lots more. I guess a lot of you are mystified, too young maybe......

Too late for Good Morning from a foggy Staffs. Didn’t go to
Church as I have a head cold, don’t want to pass it on but will still go to lunch with DH on his return. Trying out a local restaurant/hotel for family meal for our Golden Anniversary coming up.

Good Morning all, just made the morning!!
I overslept his morning as I was due at DD to look after DGS whilst she went running, just made it to hers in time!

I am still full of cold and looks like I have passed it in to DGS?

No more plans for today now I am back home I am planning on sitting watching TV and nursing my headache and cold.

Hope everyone has a good day, what is left if it!!

Good morning Mick and the GM team.
Sunny here in east London but thick frost/ice on the car windscreen.
Much improved from my chest infection but arthritis is my knee is awful. Trying to remain cheerful but I have had sooo much bad health in the last 12 months, mostly related to my disability, it’s hard not to feel jaded.

Then I think about what others here are facing and I give myself a ‘talking to’.

Oldgaijin sounds like a very positive conversation with your DD and some practical and useful steps to take.
Good wishes to gilly, dragonfly and all who are facing challenges today.

Let’s hope we all have a good one ...

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a cold and frosty start to Sunday .

A much needed visit to B&Q yesterday for a set of kitchen mixer taps . Ours have been dripping for months and on Friday the drop turned into a steady stream . Tried changing the washer/seals a few times over the months But gradually getting worse .

Anyway feeling quite pleased with myself as I did it all on my own . With DH just giving the most minimum instructions . Decided to change the loo seat in the main bathroom while I was on a roll (it’s been waiting to be done for months) . I’m very happy with my work . I won’t be beat!

DH has had another poor night so I’m quite exhausted right now . He is sleeping, Typical.

Love to OldGaijin and Dragonfly and all those feeling poorly or sad .

To those enjoying the sunshine and happy times , long may they continue .

Have a good Sunday everyone .

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning Mick and all x

Blue sky, sunshine and a hard frost in this part of SE Essex.

Roast chicken with all the trimmings for dinner, not sure if we shall be visited/invaded by AC or GC today.

Keep safe folks

Good morning from Malta where it is cloudy but with a few specks of blue sky peeping through.

We’ve also had some very windy weather here Urmston. It makes for a lot of bad hair days

Oldgaijin, it must be hard for your DD being so far away. Can I just say, both my sisters lived for several years with the ‘terminal’ tag hanging over them. They packed an awful lot into those years and I hope you can do the same.

No plans for me today. I’ve brushed the dog, though why he’s shedding so much hair in the cold weather beats me, vacuumed round, put the dishwasher on and a load of laundry. Will do a bit of ironing later and that’s it for today.

Hope all poorly people stay warm and hydrated and will feel better very soon.

Have as good a day as possible everyone.

Yes Kitty I have seen the Kettlewell Sale, my azure coloured spring jacket was in the sale. I think sometimes I wear too many dark colours so I have decided to brighten myself up for the Spring.

Yes Ginny lurgy is a real word which sums up any illness when you feel bloomin’ miserable.

Mary DH is only just recovering from my ‘window shopping’ event on Saturday. ?

Good morning everyone,

It's a beautiful morning - frosty, but with a gorgeous blue sky and bright sunshine. So uplifting!

A fairly lazy day in store today, though I will prepare dinner later (a lamb tagine) and finish the bit of ironing that is left - though there will be more soon as I've a basket full of washing to go in the machine.

Just been perusing the Pilates book I bought to motivate me to try the exercises at home, and it looks quite good and pitched to suit different levels of expertise, which is just as well as I'm a beginner. ?

? oldgaijin. I echo the kind words of annsixty.

I hope today brings peace to us all. Take care.

Good morning all from Nottinghamshire. The sun is shining and the frost looks beautiful. Going out in a little while to babysit my twin grandsons so hoping it's not slippery underfoot. Best wishes to all who are suffering today, hope that you are soon on the mend.

Good Morning All x
Foggy/frosty morning with the sun trying its best to make an appearance.
Have slept quite heavily these last few nights though not complaining because I don't have to get up in the night either. It's my body healing after the drawn-out lurgy I had.

Beef's in the oven so there'll be a couple of days meals out of that , all I'll do is par-boil potatoes for roast ones later.
A quiet day,ironing to put away so that's the extent of the chores. Shopping list to make for next week, that's it.

Sending healing wishes to those who are under the weather as well as thoughts to the Gillybobs xx
Careful as you go if you have fog/mist and frosty conditions.

Good morning from yet another sunny crisp day in Essex. I feel Spring is just around the corner. Did get to Southend yesterday and did my 10,000 steps. Maybe offset by a fish and chip lunch sitting outside a cafe(in January!!) And a beautiful sunset on the way home. No real plans today but going to see the film 1917 later which I'm not sure if I will enjoy? Hope everyone has a good day especially those with worries or troubles. Xxxx

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s surprisingly sunny after rain yesterday afternoon but boy is it windy! The palm trees are dancing furiously - your washing will soon dry Pantglas up there!

We might go for a walk after lunch if the wind dies down. Or not. Man. Utd play later and himself will want to watch the match I imagine. I am two thirds through a very enjoyable John Grisham book. I’ve never read any of his novels before. I like court case drama though so I’m whizzing through it!

What a lovely start to a winter Sunday morning Grandmabook! Hope you like your photos- do you use a camera or like me these days (!) just an iPad?

We are meeting friends this evening for a meal.

Hope Sunday is kind to us all whether we have plans or none, especially those on here with worries. x

Good morning all from a becoming more sunny by the minute Spain! Good to see you posting oldgaijin and love your positivity x

Not a lot planned but have already got a wash out drying on the terrace and cleaned the almost empty fridge - we’ll be having some strange meals before we leave early Wednesday!

Dreadful to hear that more are catching the lurgy Nankate I’m still hoping to escape it, especially with DH due for hip op soon.

A peaceful Sunday all x

When on a journey, as we all are, it often takes a long time before we reach the terminus.
We hope and pray this will be the case with you.
Your spirits and your strength in dealing with your situation are uplifting.

Good morning all from a bright and frosty Aberdeenshire...there is a glorious sunrise too.

I had what could have been a traumatic conversation with daughter in Singapore at 3.00pm this morning,,,she is eight hours ahead and, though a bit upset, came up with one or two practical suggestions re my future living in this house. No, I don't want a weekly cleaning lady as housework is low down on my list of priorities! However, we are going to look for a really nice recliner arm chair in case the day comes when I can't get upstairs. I have a wee cloakroom with loo so all eventualities are covered.

The mutt and I are going to the woodies for a doggy chase...it seems ages since I had a blast of fresh air,

I think the inner plumbing is just about back to what passes as normal, tho' I was strangely upset when I Googled a mixture and it said for the use of terminally ill patients. Up 'til then, I hadn't put myself in that bracket!

Hope you all have as good a day as possible, bugs/lurgy/ and illness permitting.
