Good afternoon from a cold sunny Bristol. I posted this morning but it seems to have disappeared.
We have just been for a walk and it was cold and windy but it blew the cobwebs away.
We all did a three way Skype this morning which was lovely my DGS2 is 22 months and he just loved seeing his cousins.

Happy anniversary CaroleAnne to you and your DH

Good morning Mick and everyone.
Today is our 51st wedding anniversary. We are cooking a nice meal with Guinea fowl supremes. We haven't had them before.
Mick I would take photographs of the people who are flaunting the rules where you live and report them to Anchor Hanover.
A very good day to you all in these difficult times.

Thank you Feelingmyage55! Have the best day possible during these mad times! X

sunday .whoopeee.... got all my windows open to let in fresh air .bit nippy ....but its refreshing .just turned youtube on to listen to my church service.... lunch veggie sausages ,potatoes .peas and gravy. no-one to talk to.......thats what i hate....might go for a walk to the church yard a mile away(tidy up some friends graves .and fill the bird feeders.) .see how cold it is out.or a bus and walk back...............

Good morning just in time. Too cold to be out today so might start to watch a box set as BBC seem to have added some retro items that I will enjoy. Waved to a neighbour’s children yesterday. They looked very happy building a den in the garden and were well wrapped up, then I saw mum bring them out drinks and a snack and having a mini picnic. The birds are very noisy and I can hear them so clearly because of the traffic. A special good morning to whywhywhy. Thank you for the daffodils marydoll

Good morning all from the East Midlands where it is sunny and quite breezy but cold this morning. We did change the clocks last night but after a week of poor sleep I decided to stay in bed. I am trying to keep up beat and my birthday the other day was much better than expected with the children and grand children on the phone. Chloe, bless her, aged 11 just wants to see her friends and she probably wont finish off at the primary school now before “big” school. She is such a love and I just want to cuddle her. There will be time in the future. So I am making some patchwork cushions for my 3 grand daughters bedrooms covered in lovely little designs. Not sure what to make my grand son yet as he is 14.
Scary times but we will get through this.
Sending love and hugs to all my lovely friends on this brilliant site!

Good morning all,

A brightish morning, but very breezy and cold. DH is cutting the grass.

Happy anniversary to Mr and Mrs oldgoat. ??

Sorry to read that you had such a scary time, grandmafrench and hope you are feeling a bit better this morning.

Best wishes to all of you, take care. ?

Good morning Mick & all, sun just peeping through the clouds in windy Nottingham.
Happy anniversary oldgoats.
Beef casserole made for dinner later.
Will do some ironing later, Something I avoid until absolutely necessary.
Glad you’re ok*Grandmafrench*.
Take care all & stay safe, have a good day

I said to my friend this morning, 'My friend in York says it's snowing' and realised I've started referring to you all as 'my friend'. My friend in Malaga; my friend in Glasgow.

Also thought you might like to hear that last evening parents near my DD went outside and clapped the children for coping so well with being cooped up inside and doing their lessons online. They could hear it echoing across the hillside.

Good morning from a bright, albeit very cold Black Country.

Made my daily call to my 90 year old Mum, who luckily still sounds upbeat. Partner has just gone on a bike ride.

I felt quite down yesterday afternoon. So had a lie down and read my book, then snoozed. Had a bit of a sore throat, so you can guess what I was thinking! Seems to have passed now though.

Mr Pastry! That's a blast from the past Urmston . Ever Decreasing Circles was one of my favourite comedies too BlueSapphire(think it was you who mentioned it ) I used to like a comedy called Watching. Anyone remember that?

I too wake up in the mornings and for a few seconds forget! I had a dream last night that we were on holiday in China! But everyone there was English, and got chatting to someone from Wolverhampton (where I was brought up). Our subconscious works in mysterious ways.

Happy Anniversary oldgoat

Wishing everyone the best day possible

A late good morning from the North East coast where we have had more hailstone this morning and it’s quite cold.

Like others I am trying to avoid the news as much as I can and have advised DD to do the same. I think we are all depressed enough. My DS rang Sky to ask if he could either cancel his subscription or have a payment holiday for a few months as he doesn’t expect to get paid anything until May. He was met with a very unhelpful “No” . I’m not sure how they expect people with no income to manage. Normally I would try and help but we are in the same (well worse ) boat.

So sorry to hear of your bad experience with Codeine GrandmaFrench my DH takes them every day and thankfully suffers no adverse effects. You must’ve been terrified. I’m glad you are feeling a bit better now.

Wishing The old Goats a very happy wedding anniversary. I hope you have the best day possible .

I’m running out of jobs to do here at home and it’s far too cold and wet to be in the garden at the minute. Will have to have a little walk later and find something to do to fill my day or I will go bonkers.

I do hope your little granddaughters birthday wish comes true kittylester

Thinking of all my lovely Gransnet Friends. Stay safe and well everyone.

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning Mick and fellow GMs from a sunny, very blustery and cold Gower.

Happy anniversary ? oldgoat to you both.
Grandmafrench glad you are feeling better but take it easy with those broken ribs ?
Thanks for answering my nosey question Mythbirthdragon
I now have the same nosey question for Nortsat. Do you or any of your family support an East London football team (my WP originates from East London and we support the same team). If any of you do, may I ask which one?
Seems to be quite a few GMs cooking a chicken dinner today. Snap!
Like so many of you I too am steering clear of the news, except the daily briefing. Too overwhelming by far.
My WP and me have both been concerned for his sister who lives on her own 240miles away. She has spinal issues and bad arthritis but like so many has been doing everything on her own. Yesterday she went out to get some shopping and on the way back she fell. Fortunately a young couple were passing, couldn't help her up of course but carried her shopping back to her flat (three storeys up) and asked her to promise to ask them for help if she needs it. They exchanged numbers and they are going to ring her every few days. She was quite emotional about such kindness when we spoke to her yesterday. We hope they carry out their promise as it will help put our minds at rest a little.
Gosh, that spring forward in time has caught me out this morning, I feel quite discombobulated!!
Hope those of you who have been experiencing wobbles have a better day today. Thinking of those of you who are ill or experiencing other travails.
Be kind to yourselves ❤️

Good Morning all, lovely and sunny here but what a cold wind! I am all behind this morning, phone calls and video calls so nice reasons
I have made banana bread with fermenting fruit , so long ago , but it was ok as far as I remember . One GD will only eat bananas if they are “ spotty “ , they are sweeter then I expect
I have been self isolating for ages , DD makes sure I don’t venture out , it took me some time to get out and about after coming here to our wee village when I got married . Ended up on every social committee and know everyone local , but I don’t have a special chum . My kids all have friends from school , all now with children , some with Grandchildren, they all have special chums too , think I am an oddity

Morning all from a white-skied South Notts, there's rain on the windows but the pavement looks dry.
Will gird my loins for the usual supermarket shop this morning and wonder what on earth it will be like. It's been very unusual over the last couple of weeks, two weeks ago jam-packed, last week deserted after the mad rush. It's quite something to dread shopping isn't it?
Hope all is well with you all.

Urmston
Just looked up Mr Pastry as I had never heard of him, being so young?. It has made me laugh watching it❤️

Me too. I used to feel so sorry for him but couldn’t stop giggling at the same time ?

chad I wonder if they are all distant cousins? Three times removed or somesuch (I could never get the hang of all that!).

Slapstick has always been my favourite type of comedy Kalu. I adored Mr. Pastry on tv when I was a kid! Giggles galore.
?

Sounds exactly like my DH Urmstongran. I’m pretty sure they do it on purpose, part of their get out plan?
Chuckled at the reference to Mr Pastry?. Will be renaming DH today! He really isn’t a DIY type at all so it’s BIY in this house; Break It Yourself accompanied by ?? when he loses the plot. ??
