Morning all, and a healthy, happy, peaceful New Year to all.

Up early as I have six adults and DGSx2 to feed for lunch

Happy New Year! Have an excellent lunch [Nina]. Looks like we'll have a quiet day. We usually go to Cromer to watch the fire works on the pier, but the forecast looks like it's going to be too wet and windy. Hopefully the storm will come through early. Cromer needs all the support it can get just now.

Happy New Year from East Sussex and a healthy 2014. Weather here is windy but not raining at the moment.

Wet here in north Leicestershire and it looks set in.

DH and DS1 are off to an away game at Reading today so I am going to relish having a totally empty house after all the visitors. It looks as though they will get soaked

Enjoy the first day of 2014, everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.

I'm back from the GN party.....no hangover of course......I just took two hours to wind down before I could sleep!

Today I probably do NOTHING - unless I take a domestic fit again.

It is dry here at present but still very dark. A happy New Year to all. I am waiting for the next monsoon, probably later today.

A Happy and Peaceful New Year to all.

With regard to the party I have to confess that after sitting in my chair fighting to keep my eyes open at about 9pm I felt so awful I just cleared off to bed at about 10:30pm. Not any alcohol to blame either.

However I slept through until about 8 am which is unusual for me. I think I heard a few fireworks at midnight unless I dreamt them.

For those with hangovers drink plenty of water.

Happy New Year to all. It's wet and windy here, just returned from my morning walk without seeing another soul.

kitty I'm envious. The house to yourself? Sheer and utter bliss.

Nellie I hope you feel better soon.

Happy new year Mick and all. It's still grey grey grey in kent. Not as wet but looks decidedly windy.

Good morning from a mild Dordogne. Looking like a lovely clear day. We did see the New Year I last night - quite unusual for us ! - I suffered with indigestion during the night but did eventually drop off to sleep. Hope everyone has a good year and for those who had a not so good 2013 - I hope 2014 proves to be a better and calmer year. X x

I spoke too soon re it being dry here. It is wet, dark and horrible.

Happy new year to you all.
The outlook for my family is not particularly hopeful, so my is painted on today.

The weather is so gloomy, dark and wet............we need

Sorry to be a misery.

morning all hope it's a kind one to all
off to Asda for some yougurt later tut got the wrong kind yesterday..tut tut.

Happy New Year everyone! Horrible weather this morning! What will we do today? Still got 11 people milling about the house.....eating incessantly! Love them though but looking forward to having a bit of peace and quiet again after tomorrow? Exhausted.

Morning all, and Happy New Year!

Wet and wild in Mid Sussex today, surprise, surprise!

Hoping it relents a little so I can get out into garden for some pruning/tidying later on, but, if not, it will be another day of fiddling about indoors and watching David Attenborough on the tellybox. 'Twas Natures Great Events yesterday, and is Frozen Planet today.

Will also make a coffee and walnut cake for tomorrow when I go to visit an old neighbour for cuppa and catch-up.

Have a good day everyone
Lona

(((hugs))) Lona and to all who need them today.

Here we are at 10.35 and I am starting off the year as I would like to go on - in bed . it is miserable, wet and windy and even the dog won't poke her nose outside the door.

Good morning and a very happy, healthy New Year to all.
BOA ANO NOVO

for all who need it. Not that there's any here. It is grey again, a lot of very wet drizzle last night but it seems to have stopped now.

We celebrated in more style than usual this year.
I discovered that the charming Portuguese custom of eating 12 raisins on the strokes of midnight is MUCH harder than it looks, it's supposed to bring you luck in the coming months and you are supposed to make a wish with each one. Hard to wish and chew at the same time, let alone kiss your nearest and dearest and drink champagne as well.

I think a quiet day is called for. We might see if there are any tickets left for a Strauss concert this afternoon. Then again we might not.

Wet, grey and miserable here in the North West. Nothing changed.
Feeling isolated, lonely and afraid of what the new year will bring (have not seen or spoken to anyone since christmas eve other than 2 phone calls). What a complete contrast to the previous 60 odd years - never mind, onward and hopefully upward.
Have a healthy and prosperous new year.

Happy new year to all Gransnetters, hope 2014 will be a good year for all.
Its a beautiful day here in Inverness-shire, sun is shining and its mild. Seems a bit odd really, could this be the calm before another storm.
To Mick, I always wondered where Brackley was and what kind of a place it was, well now I know. Saw it on the Antiques Road Trip the other day, it looks such a charming place, I think I'll come and live there too.
Off to DS and DIL for lunch, I have made a sherry trifle with chocolate buttons on the top. DGK have little separate puds without the sherry.
PS sorry you are feeling so isolated, sending you loving thoughts, keep posting, there is always someone to talk to on Gransnet.

Grey and dreary here. Hug winging it's way to you ps.

Just come back to let you know that it's pickling it down here.

Big (((hugs)) ps. Keep in touch with GN. I hope 2014 is kinder to you.

I thought you'd said it was 'picking up' and looked out of the window for that patch of blue sky .

ps You are NOT alone, we are here, we are your friends. You aren't the only one feeling down, and we will get through it and survive!
