Good Morning Tuesday

It's snowing in DS1's bit of town too dragonfly.

Good luck with your ninja!!

Good Morning all from N.Bucks.
Chilly but I’m going to wrap up and meet DD1 at a lake and have a (sd) walk and chat. Luckily she is fairly local and in the same tier. I’m quite excited.
DH is taking his mother to a hospital appointment which worries me a bit , I have explained elsewhere.
Otherwise just bits and bobs and getting on with some sort of craftwork.
grandMattie your quilt is beautiful.
Hope you all find a ? today.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s snowing fit to bust in South Yorkshire and already causing problems for the traffic. I’m glad we don’t have to go out today. We had a good long walk yesterday - it does us good to push ourselves a bit, but last night my legs were killing me and I couldn’t sleep. Back to proper food today, and whatever passes for a proper routine in this house! Mind how you go, one and all.

Ooh thanks for that recommendation NanKate! I will check it out tonight.

Regards the vaccine , my 88y old stepfather hasn’t heard a peep from his surgery yet 3 of his neighbours, all early 80’s have had theirs. I think a phone call to the receptionist might be a good idea today.

Bluddy hell, it’s thick snow out there now! I just looked up from my iPad ... Sticking too, Must be a couple of inches deep already and the snow flakes are big fat ones, falling fast!

Good morning from a dry S Welsh coast, no snow here. We finished the last of the Turkey crown yesterday, it was lovely, the only downside is no carcass to make stock, so I'm envious of Nortsat's Turkey soup, a favourite of mine.
Our seafront was packed with cars yesterday, people clearly breaking Tier 4 rules, very worrying. A walk round our quieter beach and the Common is planned for later this morning. I have a bit of ironing to do but not much else on the cards today.
Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

Thanks Sparklefizz just low level occasional coughing and runny nose, I know too much info. ?

NannyJ. When I see DS in the distant future I will get him to show me how to attach photos. ⛩

Morning everyone from a grey, cloudy Kent. I have only just woken but that’s because I was awake for a couple of hours during the night. At that time vampirequeen had written to say that her husband had been taken to hospital. She too is not well. Anyone heard from travelsafar? Let’s hope all recover soon.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is very cold.
Today I am taking DGS swimming and not much else.
I did mean to ask my GM friends if they can recommend a sewing machine for a complete beginner? I have some Christmas Money and have decided I would like one. I have never sewn before apart from by hand. Grandmattie your quilt is amazing. I have been watching the sewing bee and it has sparked my interest.
Take care everyone and stay safe, thoughts to everyone who is not feeling it and to our friends whose husbands are in hospital. Farview and vampirequeen

Good morning from Cumbria! No snow here . Not even that cold.One of our sons moved into a new flat ( rented) yesterday. Need to look through my stock if curtains to find him 3 pairs. So glad I kept them when we moved ( despite DH's protests!) We are going over tomorrow and helping him put some IKEA stuff together and taking a car load of stuff.
Today I am playing in a bridge Congress online for most of the day! I will really enjoy it but will be worn out by tonight.
Love the quilt Grandmattie. Beautiful work.
Hope everyone has the best day they can. Keep safe.

Good morning from a sadly-not-snowing Cornwall. I have white stuff envy! Just cold and wet here. Today I will make a cushion from my pile of preloved jeans, shop for food and sit on the Pier for some fresh air. The best of days to you all, especially those with troubles and pain.

Good morning Mick, morning all from very snowy S Lanarkshire. On mornings like this I’m so grateful that I don’t have to be anywhere, the last time we had to be out early in the snow it took half an hour just to get out of our very small town due to cars and trucks getting stuck on hilly roads.

Your patchwork is just beautiful gM.
I’m becoming quite indolent, during the last lockdown I could honestly say that I wasn’t ever bored as I do have lots of interests. I can turn my hand to lots of crafty type things although the results are often far from perfect, however this time round I just can’t seem to summon up enthusiasm for any of it.

DH has finished the anti virals for his shingles, he seems to be doing ok one day then takes a dive the next. I expect that’s just the way it goes.

I hope everyone has as good day possible.

(PS Beautiful quilt grandMattie. What patience!)

Good morning all from a chilly S Hants, a heavy frost and just started to drizzle, no snow ?. We seem to be getting up later and later as DH is off work this week. I enjoyed quiz night on TV yesterday, then watched the Billy Connolly ‘tribute’ he’s still amazing, I’ve seen him live twice, a very funny man. No real plans today, I have to move stuff from my old handbag to my lovely new one, either cottage pie or up the chippie tonight, the remnants of turkey, ham and b&s have been frozen. Urmstongran I too must stop, not watching the news so much as I avoid it during the day, but checking data online. Those who are poorly, or who have poorly family members hoping today brings some improvement.

Good morning from an overcast, grey N Hants. Enjoyed a walk round a NT garden yesterday evening where the lights were beautiful. Such hard work setting it all up.

granMattie your quilt is stunning. I’ve only ever managed one sided quilts, and how you stitched them together so evenly, well, I just wish I had your skills.

I always welcome Netflix recommendations. I have it courtesy of my daughter, but struggle to find anything to watch as I find the amount of content overwhelming.

I really hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel for all those and their husbands who are poorly. Take care

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s been snowing.
Good drive home yesterday but it was foggy on the top of the Woodhead Pass.
Managed to set up my new Amazon Echo Dot when I got home. It’s now playing gentle tunes.
Must dash as I have a shopping slot at 9.30. Will read and catch up later.
Stay safe everyone.

Marydoll. It was still so dark when I posted and I hadn’t opened the curtains. Heavy snow up here too. It’s like a winter wonderland and very pretty to look at through the window.

Hello and good morning from a grey Northampton, no snow yet.

Re-arranged the kitchen yesterday to accommodate the new coffee maker I had for Christmas; not used it yet, as it seems I have no cups/mugs that fit! And the instructions are not that easy to follow.

Spent a pleasant afternoon watching Murder on the Orient Express, the John Suchet TV version, which is much darker than the cinema films. I must say I preferred it. I then watched the Royal Ballet Christmas Gala which I had recorded and enjoyed that as well. Oh, it'll be good to get back to ballet classes. And yoga, and my walking groups!

Got some washing in at the moment - and that appears to be the highlight of my day.

Oh, I forgot - all the houses in our little close had a visit from the Christmas fairy again! A bottle of Prosecco appeared on our doorsteps last Thursday, don't know who it is. Speculation is rife in the close. This is the third year - we also get a rose on Valentine's Day, and a chocolate bunny at Easter. Someone is very kind - and good at sneaking around at dead of night.....

Take care if you've got snow, and stay safe.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all- hope you have a great day. No snow here in Warwickshire- even though it was 100% likely on the BBC weather app. Ah well, it meant I had no distractions from writing up my doctorate. Any other OWLs ( older, wiser learners) out there?

Not me GrannyMarmalade - I impress myself if I use a long word ha!

Well done you though!

Good morning all from Essex. Very still out there?!

I’m watching Black Narsissis and finding it all rather strange. Like you say Ashcombe the scenery is stunning. Last episode tonight.

grandmattie I love your patchwork. It’s so perfect and neat. ?. I try to be creative and have made things in the past, but I don’t seem to have much motivation at the moment. I usually love to have ‘something on the go’. All my crafting stuff is in the loft and I don’t fancy getting up there. I don’t want to ask DH as he’s getting a bit wobbly on that ladder . ?
Like your DH Marydoll he’s not what he was. He’s only 71 but this last year has lost all motivation. He had a TIA back in April and really hasn’t been the same. Usually a very sporty, fit man. Excellent golfer, tennis player , etc but now is content to sit in the armchair. I try to encourage him but I’m just told ‘don’t keep on’ He isn’t depressed and quite chirpy , though. Oh dear! What to do?

Sorry about that but after reading Marydoll , it just came out.

Sar I hope your daughters wound heals and the biopsy is clear. ?

Have a peaceful, pleasant day , all ?

Good morning all from a snowy West Yorkshire. Our childcare bubble’s in operation today and we’re looking after DGS6 for a few hours at his house. We’re so looking forward to seeing him, but not to the journey over, always made more difficult by snow. We won’t be out and about with him in the pram unless it clears very quickly.

Keep safe and warm, everyone.

Gingster, don't apologise, I just had to get it out too! It's good to know someone understands. My children are burying their heads in the sand and being stuck in since March , makes me even more aware of it!

I plan to keep busy today, that is if I can stay awake!!!
