Good morning, everyone from wet and windy Torbay!
Here’s a pumpkin for you, Beechnut! ?
My DGD is eight today so we will enjoy sharing some Zoom time this morning. Yes, a Hallowe’en baby! I’m usually with them to celebrate but they are in Tier 2 so not this year.
This afternoon our theatre company
www.toadslittletheatre.co.uk
is staging a socially distanced performance for an audience of invited guests. Our normal auditorium capacity is 240 but we are limiting the nos. to 50. Temperature checks will be made, masks worn and seating marked out to keep people apart. I’m a steward on the Front of House team so it will be an interesting experience!
The photo shows our beloved theatre, a converted church.
Happy weekend, folks!
Good morning from a very grey Essex by the sea. I do believe rain and strong winds are forecast for later, deep joy !
I need to go and buy some more embroidery silks this morning. I have discovered cross Stitch and I'm making some small pictures for our granddaughters for Christmas. I've finished two, have started two more and have another two to do after that. Three unicorns, two ballerinas and something to do with Harry Potter for the last one. I think I have found my crafting niche !!!!!
DH will be watching back to back Rugby this afternoon and I am expecting a call from DD2 for a catch up.
Have the best Saturday you can, 
for all those with worries or sadness and please stay safe everyone xx
Good morning from Derbyshire. Another wet and windy day in store.
We took a trip to the garden centre yesterday to buy compost. Half way there I realised I hadn't brought a face mask with me, much to DH's annoyance. I decided to send him in alone to buy the compost and, hearing of my plight, the garden centre kindly sent me out a disposable mask, so I could go inside. I'm glad they did as I found they were selling off packs of 20 Violas for £1. They are all really good plants too. I just need the rain to stop so I can plant them out. I'll probably have to wait until Tuesday for that.
Susan I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip on the Carlisle to Settle circular. We would love to do that.
Thinking of those who are struggling or feeling unwell at the moment. Hope you have a better day today.
Good morning everyone from a just getting light very rainy day here on the east coast of Fife By gum it fairly rained all night long I even had a fabulous sleep throughout it all hope there’s no serious flooding out there behind the curtains. I had a lovely soft fried egg on a soft flowery roll yesterday I’m getting one today again must only stick to one at a time I could easily munch down two. 
thinking of all those less fortunate than me today I’ve got lots to thank God for 
have a good day everyone be kind to yourself and those less fortunate. A smile goes a long long way.
Good Morning everyone from Oxfordshire
Damp, windy and forecast rain but brighter this afternoon -
hope so because we are going on a scarecrow walk with the GC later.
Susan56 enjoy your trip it sounds wonderful
I wonder if we will hear any more farm life from sheepandcattle
Stay safe, to missing GNs and best wishes to all
Good morning all from a wild and wet Glasgow, its blowing a hoolie, with all sorts of loud noises coming from outside. ??. A day for the house and a visit to James Martin's kitchen.
Yesterday my daughter and SIL, arrived with lots off goodies. They had gone to a bakery on the coast we like and stocked up on pies and favourite cakes. They also brought beautiful flowers and much chocolate.
The final surprise was a Fit Bit. My SIL had won Employee of the month, for going above and beyond in keeping IT up to speed and enabling employees to keep their call centres running during the pandemic.
His prize was cash and a Fit Bit. As they already had one they decide to donate it to me.
I have become obsessed with my heart rate!!!! Perhaps not with my step count, as my daughter manages 20,000 a day and I'm too embarrassed to admit to what I have achieved! ?
I'm feeling quite low after my very thorough consultation yesterday. My consultant is referring me to the orthopaedic surgeon, as he has concerns about my hip and and also my foot which has had a number of unhealed hairline stress fractures over the years. Obviously, given the current situation, it will be years before I get an appointment.
The worst news is that I fulfil not just one, but three different criteria for shielding and in light of the increasingly risky situation, I must not have any contact with people. Basically I'm back to shielding again. Sorry to be such a misery guts, I knew that, but there was always a tiny bit of hope it wouldn't happen. 
Has anyone noticed that as well as Cherry, Mellow Yellow has not been posting? I replied to a message she sent me about fruit trees,we were buying, but she never responded.
I hope she is OK.
Susan, I'm so envious of your trip. We are about to book a trip on the Flying Scotsmen for next year, across the iconic Forth Rail bridge. Fingers crossed it goes ahead!
Hoping to hear better news of Mr Grammaretto and hugs to all, our struggling friends. Have the best day you can.
