Good Morning Sunday

Good Morning Everyone,

Today cold and windy here in Brackley , plans are to have a slightly early lunch a slow cooked casserole , followed by cycling on TV .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
Who'd have thought that changing the clocks would crash Gransnet?
Quiet Sunday here with a couple of patio quotes and just one delivery.
Roast beef for dinner.

Love to all x

Good morning everyone from a cold but dry Inverness
So pleased to see us all back here after a slow start this morning !
Will read all the lovely posts later ...

Hello to all again. Sorry about your day of enforced rest again Marydoll, we'll miss your mischief!
It's a "changeable' day here on the Angus coast with warm sunshine one minute and threatening dark clouds the next.
I must be a Gransnet addict! I couldn't settle to anything until I had my fix. Or maybe I've become a creature of habit because I became quite discombobulated after yesterday's visit by my gardener, a week earlier than I had expected. Great to see him though! He tells me that he's retiring from his main job at the Big House at his 70th birthday in August but is going to keep on with mine and the one at the Old Manse for a while yet. A huge sigh of relief!
DGD was out to her first real 'grown-up' party last night, a friend's 17th. There were to be four of them in a barn!! That's Covid Rules for you! We had a WhatsApp chat on her bus journey there and she was waxing lyrical about photos of twin lambs born earlier in the day. I wonder if their 'party' was in an empty pen in the lambing shed?! Anyway, DD collected her at midnight and reported that 'she appears to have been sensible', to which DS2 replied "That would never have happened in my day" (Don't I know it !)
Well, the rain's now on and the washing machine has finished its cycle, so off I go to the tumble dryer.
Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday. ?????

Good morning. Like a lot of you not being able to log on to Gransnet a shock to the system!
Chilly and a bit windy in Dorset, hard to imagine the predicted warm spell mid week!

Good morning from a very blustery North Yorkshire.
Ironing done and croissants and coffee taken.
Waiting for a call from a friend then off to do some charity admin.
Walking later. No sunny skies unlike yesterday.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Right, a proper good morning now from an overcast, windy S Hants. I had a restless night, so still not really in the wide awake club. But washing is on, second mug of tea in progress as I peruse my list of ttd which tells me I need to get wrapping paper, sort out vape juice and wash kitchen floor. How exciting..I need to go to the farm shop early tomorrow followed by the local M&S food hall to return three tops. Their sizing has gone silly, all three are way too big, always been reliable before. I have the Saturday crossword to keep me entertained, football later, chicken for dinner then Line of Duty, I’ll be worn out!
Have a gentle day all, Auntieflo hope your pain is still diminished and Marydoll the gentle day certainly applies to you. ??

Morning all at last! Been trying to get through the locked gateway since 7am. Someone forgot to make sure we could all get in!

Still a cool wind here on the south coast but 8.7c on my weather station earlier. I am looking forward to a few nice days of warm sunshine from tomorrow and being able to enjoy seeing some family in the garden.

DD volunteered at the vaccination clinic again yesterday and said it was mainly elderly second jabbers. We are waiting for ours so hope it won't be too long now.

A quiet day looms after the unexpected fridge collection. Something does keep turning up on my empty agenda!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

One thing I did was to email Gransnet, I also contacted Age UK and the person got the same screen of error like myself.
Mick

Good Morning all. A coffee in the (hot) courtyard sort of day here in the S of ?? ? ☕️?

Always irritated it’s an hour I’ve missed, but probably as discombobulating for all. ?

May you have a decent Sunday with calm and enough rest to set you up for some fun, maybe - all those lucky souls meeting family or friends this week?

Keep battling on, everyone. We’ll get there. Hope and hugs to those down or distressed, speedy recoveries to those unwell or in pain.

To the sad or broken-hearted, all the love you need and want to help you through. Thinking about you Maw ?

Take care, keep safe. ?????‍♀️????

Good morning everyone! Glad to see you made it Mick.
Rather chilly and blowy in Suffolk this morning. I really don’t like gardening when it’s windy, particularly when my hair is long, so I shall finish the ironing and watch Leicester Tigers this afternoon. We have watch SO much rugby this year!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good Morning All x.
What a miserable damp day---ah well at least it isn't cold.
I too was " locked out " of here for ages and have got access in a different way by just asking google a question ? and not via the normal route.

I bet Mick is still looking at the 502/504 error gateway waiting patiently. Hope he's okay anyway.

I entertained myself by looking at the Ted Baker dresses on Ebay I could easily spend a fortune just using my eyes.

However, I hope everyone's well and remembered the hour less in bed, not that it'll make much difference at this stage.
Breakfasted but not showered as yet then remembered to get the last of my 2 lamb chops from the freezer for today---same as last Sunday but with a different veg ( cauli) and I'll do some white sauce. A quick orange sponge pud for afters. Trying to empty the freezer as much as I can in readiness for a refill next week.

So glad to hear that you'll be seeing your friend Dragonfly x A step in the right direction for you both.

Gosh it's nearly 11, though I don't know why I'm rushing. Speaking to a neighbour in the garden yesterday I'm not the only one who hasn't done so much this last 12 months so I didn't feel so bad knowing she'd been the same.
We do intend getting stuck in to some gardening as soon as the weather picks up.

Thoughts as usual to everyone both present and absent. Have a decent day and stay safe. xx

I have only just tried to log on but had an error message a couple of times.
A harsh wind today in the Scottish Borders.
I know what you mean about facemasks Gwenisgreat1. I must revisit some of mine or make some new ones.

I have 2 zoom meetings today. I would so much prefer to be able to sit around and chat properly, with a cuppa and put the world to rights..
Have a good day everyone

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is wet, an advantage for the gardener.
Been trying for flippin’ hours to get on this site!
Hope you had a better day yesterday, Marydoll, and that things settle for you.
Have the best day you can everyone.
?????

An ‘enforced’ late good morning from south Manchester where it’s raining. So different to yesterday’s glorious sunshine! I’ve just put beef & ale (a lá Delia) on a low light in the oven. Stepfather joins us around 1pm. Drinks first (mandatory) then food.

The last couple of days I’ve been binge watching ‘Big Little Lies’ and really enjoying it! I’m on series 2 of 2 (only half a dozen episodes in each) and the talented Meryl Streep has entered as the mother in law from hell. Excellent. I read the book by Lianne Moriarty years ago. She had it set in Oz but this production has it set in Monterey. Ooh, I’d like to visit. No better still I’d like a beach house there too! Imagine coming down your back steps to feel the sand under your feet with panoramic views of the ocean. Oh well, back to real life ...

Hope Sunday is kind to us all. Good luck GG13 with that book. I thought it was pretty dire. Over-hyped nonsense and the ending was a muddle. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Morning Mick - glad you're there. Was it your email to Gransnet that got that pesky gate opened I wonder? Enjoy your walk Dragonfly ?
Good to hear of all the second jabbers Gagagran - not a dicky bird about them up here yet.

Good morning from a dry E Kent. There is a veil of cloud over the whole sky, which is now colouring peach in the dawn.

Thank you for all your generous offers to support Iris' walk. There is nothing set up yet, and she is still "in training" as her arms get very tired using crutches. Previously, she has preferred to hop or zoom around with her walker. I promise I’ll let you know on this thread when anything is set up – most likely in the Easter holidays.

Don’t know what is going on but I am having a lot of trouble logging in today. Finally logged in late, so shall read the posts in a minute.

Thought this might cheer people up.

Palm Sunday today. There is a service in the churchyard, but as there will no doubt be no singing, and I get terribly cold hanging around, we have watched DD online again.

Another day full of nothing. I am now assembling the squares for DGS’s quilt. He will love it – but being a teenage boy, very little causes him any visible emotion!

May your day be filled with sunshine and I hope you find an elusive flamingo in the emotional shade. X

Good morning all from a rainy Lancashire. As usual when the clocks change my body hasn’t caught up yet! I remembered to change the bedroom clock last night, everything else adjusts itself, isn’t technology wonderful? Anyway, I’m up, showered and dressed, n one of Mr. B’s old t-shirts and some yoga pants. Now enjoying a lovely mug full of tea and reading all your posts. We tested the new Ninja yesterday evening and it was most impressive, lovely chips fluffy on the inside and crispy on the edges.

Have a peaceful Sunday all

Good Morning. I’ve missed a couple of days , just didn’t feel up to much. Will catch up with all the news later.

Very breezy here in N. Bucks , dry but dull.
Nothing happening today, so I’ll get on with some crochet and maybe finish a book. ‘The Midnight Library ‘.
Hope you all find a ? today.

Morning everyone from a blustery Glasgow.

Plan for today, one thing at least, is to give my car a good run.
Driving around, within our LA boundary with nowhere to go except back home is now classed as a day out. ?No Particular Place To Go? is playing in my head at the moment. ?

Have a pleasant Sunday all. Hoping your enforced, literally, day of rest help you to feel a bit stronger Marydoll ?
Maw ?

Good morning, Mick and everyone from a wet Cumbrian coast. It's now making an attempt to brighten up.
I'm another who has tried for hours to get on only to get the bad gateway message. Did changing the clocks upset things?
I got up at my usual time but an hour earlier, you know what I mean!
Although my removers will be doing the packing , I have made a start on packing my clothes which has made me think I have far too many for my current style of life. Much was acquired for holidays and for trips out with my late DH. I should have a clear out but I can't bear to, I like them.
Getting at my suitcases meant heaving some heavy boxes about which has made me a bit wobbly. It's a good reason to resume my latest read. At a bargain price, I acquired the complete works of Conan Doyle for my Kindle. He didn't only chronicle Sherlock Holmes and write a novel or two, he wrote a lot! I'm reading one of these forgotten works and very good it is too. All the more interesting because it is set fairly near here, on the Wigtownshire coast.
I'll leave you all to hopefully enjoy the remainder of the day.

Good Morning , don’t like this hour change , it takes me forever to drop the jet lag feeling , and it’s a wet Sunday !
Maw ??

I’d forgotten it was the Grand Prix this afternoon at 4pm Ashcombe. Himself loves it. I think it’s boring and would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch it! Mind you, I have my box series to continue so I’m a happy bunny.

270 stitches per row BlueSapphire? OMG, Give that woman a medal for sheer perseverance! I’d have no patience.

Urmston I can recommend Monterey. DD2 and I stayed there on our drive from San Fransisco to LA in 2019.

Despite losing an hour’s sleep I have adjusted all the clocks which need it, including the one in the car (normally leave it on GMT all year but got caught out by that), done two loads of washing and put tonight’s supper I the slow cooker. Now waiting for a man to advise on replacing our very necessary outside blinds. Suspect it will be an expensive upgrade but hand cranking them is becoming too hard so just pushing a button indoors would be wonderful.

Sorry Marydoll is still feeling fragile but hope we all have as good a day as we can.
