Good Morning Everyone ,
Its a grey and windy start here in Brackley this morning.
Usual day , laundry etc some housework .
Doing the death figures this last week the daily average is starting to increase when i worked out the previous 7 day figure.
Looks like a 2nd wave starting before next month starts .
Take Care ,
Mick

Good morning everyone from a blustery wet day in Glasgow. I agree gilly it does seem more like February. Lamps on here too.

What a lovely surprise for you Bellasnana How thoughtful of your DD to arrange this for you. You haven’t changed a bit either, still looking good.

Have a lovely get together with your son grandMattie

Hope you are feeling a bit better today Oopsadaisy. Fingers still crossed for a negative result for you?

I had a long FaceTime chat with DD2’s MiL in Australia yesterday. We both just hit it off at our first meeting and we enjoy having her to stay whenever she visits family in the UK. She is so fond of DD and is known by DD as her OZ Mum.

Well, what to do today? No idea and no plan to gee me on so footering and faffing it is.

Have a pleasant day all whatever you have planned and warm best wishes to BlueSapphire and others who have worries and struggles.

Wet and windy here in Blackburn, but managed to get to the post office and shopping centre on my electric scooter (only takes about 5 minutes to get there) and back without getting wet. So pleased about that.

Good morning all from a wet dreary Lancashire.Had a lovely weekend with my single parent granddaughter and her 11 month old daughter The weather was dreadful but we talked and laughed a lot.I introduced her to Talking Heads and she thought the Lady of letters was very good.
Hope everyone has a good day and that marydoll continues to improve.

Good Morning from dreary Harrogate Today is a Good and bad day. Bad 'cause DH is not feeling too well, Good because he won a competition, and the prize arrived this morning - a roomba vacuum cleaner (might have a bit of fun with it)

Good afternoon everyone. I am very late today! Suffolk is windy too - I hate gardening the wind so I shall go and sew this afternoon.
My insurance quote came back at nearly £300 more than last year but when I phoned and changed our address (AGAIN!) it dropped from £910 to £340. Ridiculous!
Hope the day is kind to everyone.

Just HAVE to comment on this one, Nannytopsy. We are convinced (and it's probably worse in this country) that each year's renewal quote is just a try on! But if you 'phone to query or make a fuss, we've found that the quote is automatically reduced, whatever feeble excuse they produce for their random figures. This has happened every year to us. I would imagine that there are a lot of customers either too busy or too unaware to get to grips and make the insurers justify their demands, and so there must be huge numbers who are paying far too much for no reason at all. A scandal ! Well done, anyway.
