Good Morning Friday

Have a good journey, Mick. That sounds like quite a trek, and one where you have to stay awake!

Dry and calm in East Sussex. very little sleep last night as the brain would not stop thinking about trivia!
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

Good morning Mick and everyone else. Hope you enjoy your beer festival and are able to roll back safely as well. It is cold and frosty here too.

Off to hospital later this morning to bring MiL home.

Overcast here this morning, no frost though - and I think I've got a cold. Hopefully echinacea will put a stop to it, and hopefully I didn't give it to my 7week old DGS yesterday.

Have a great day Mick. Sounds good!

Aka hope all goes well transporting your MiL. Bet she'll be glad to be out of hospital.

Tired today after yesterday's hospital and then meeting - but the meeting went quite well. I've never before put myself in the position of running anything like this, but find I actually enjoy it!

Today I sort out the things I didn't do in the last two days, and try again to contact another builder.....

It is cold here in London, no frost and the sun is peeping through. I am having a CT scan on my knee this morning so I must get a move on because of the traffic.

Aka hope your MiL is okay. She will be pleased to get out of hospital.

Thanks Nfk & Charley we've quite missed her and so have the GC.

Good morning from a bright and cold North East coast.

Enjoy your beer festival Mick have one for me!

Glad to hear you MiL coming home Aka

We all have colds here too NfkDumpling and with the amount of visiting and "looking after" I do it is impossible not to pass it on.

Have a good day everyone . Off to work .

Lovely pink sky this morning, but we had a gorgeous red sunset last night. So, sailors or shepherds?

A very bright cold morning this morning, not as much wind as yesterday, but twice as many leaves! More sweeping up I think. Not a lot planned for today, but must get moving as odds and ends need doing, these always seem to take longer than the long haul ones. Enjoy your days.

Beautiful sunshine here in my corner of Devon. The hills are clear, but the sky is white with mist that the sunshine will soon clear away.
I've had a bad cold for a couple of days, so not sleeping well at the moment. Sitting up in bed waiting for a Skype call from my daughter in New Zealand.

Enjoy your call GA. How is your grandson? Hope you feel better soon. And you gillybob

Hope your MIL's move back home goes well Aka

Alie, it must be time for a sit down in soop's kitchen by now.

Try not to drink too much Mick.

I'm discombobulated this morning, which is why I'm late on here. Dh is on a course and had to leave the house by 8.15 [rather than the usual 9.30] so I was in charge of tidying up.

Anyway, the weather here is crisp and bright but it is forecast to get much colder. Brrr!

Lovely crisp morning in Kent. It's my grandchild care day but my husband is standing in for me while I go gallivanting around faversham with an old friend. I predict a riot on my return.

I just got this from South Africa (distant cousin)

During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether
or not an older person should be put in an old age home?"
"Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup
and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub."
"Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because
it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup.."
"No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed
near the window?"

I like that one!

Titter titter loved it AllieOxon

Dull and grey in Cheshire again.

PRINTMISS As for fallen leaves and there are a lot more to come, if it stays dry and we get a good wind, they all blow right off my front lawn and into the front of the house next door. This has a corner by their garage which collects the leaves.

It's a constant battle at this time of year. My front door opens directly into the sitting room, so it's inevitable that every time someone comes in, so do the leaves. I mainly use the back door which is better, but visitors don't.

I keep having to open the back door for the cat! She has decided that she will drink outside not inside.

Friday has turned into Saturday, but that's normal!

Mea Culpa Allie

I also burnt the same batch of porridge twice this morning. I am blaming Gransnet for having two burnt saucepans to clean.
The remains of the porridge are on the compost heap.
I had a bowl of it raw in the end.

To cap this catalogue of incompetence, I then spilt some of the new pack of the porridge onto the kitchen floor trying to pick it up one handed to put it away.

A little porridge goes a long way....been there, done that
