I have had to phone the Roads dept, as when I came round a corner on my way back from meeting DIL, there was a tree blocking the road!
I suddenly realised there was something wrong, when the car in front swerved across the road.
Aggie, stay safe.

aggie Wed 19-Sept-18 12:42:00

No washing out here , my greenhouse has disappeared while I was out , had to fight my way back to the house

travelsafar Wed 19-Sept-18 11:09:59

Good morning Wednesday. The wonderful Dennis Norden has died at 96. I have often spent time listening to the wonderful pair that Frank Muir and Dennis Norden were. (Frank Muir) died in 1998. RIP. They don't make them like that any more. At least they both had long life.

Good morning Anniebach and all

Unusual for this house, I am home alone this morning. I am going to curl up on sofa with a cappuccino and think about showering and dressing later!!

Overthehills Wed 19-Sept-18 09:22:37

Good morning everybody (for the first time from me) from the NE of Scotland. Very wild during the night but now I think it’s the lull before the storm. Ironing today in preparation for the holiday on Friday - a chance to catch up on missed television programmes.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Michael, Annie to come and all GN's. Sunny, bright and breezy here. It seemed to get dark earlier last night! Haircut later this morning, then a promise of lunch out, nice.
Central heating service and car service, both need booking. Trees can't be trimmed until end Oct.
I saw a car number plate yesterday that I loved. Part of it was * FAF, Would suit me.
To all with health problems, best wishes, and have a good day.

Good to see you, Brunette. smile I was wondering about your husband.

Brunette10 Wed 19-Sept-18 08:38:21

Good Morning all, later start today. Just waiting for Storm Ali to pounce upon us in Fife. Very dark and grey at the moment. A day for the house. Have my DH to look after after a visit to hospital yesterday. Wish me luck! Have a good day to all and I hope the day turns out good for everyone.

NannyJan53 Wed 19-Sept-18 08:37:39

Good Morning all from a bright and breezy Black Country.

Just a pootling and faffing day today, catching up on housework and ironing, and sorting out what I need to pack for our holiday to Malaga next week smile

Sounds like you are having a very enjoyable time away Dora I went away with DD and family in July to Wales, and it is lovely spending time with them on holiday.

Hope you both feel better soon Marydoll Corner it is very miserable having sore throats.

Enjoy your Wednesday all

harrigran Wed 19-Sept-18 08:25:37

Good morning from the balmy NE.
DH has a hospital appointment in 40 minutes, so why is he still here ?
I will be faffing about until he returns.
DH should be going to meet his cronies this afternoon so with a bit of luck I will catch up with recorded TV.

Morning all, from a windy but brighter morning in Northampton. Just going to put some washing out, then down to M&S food and Sainsbury's for a few bits. Calling in at the charity shop on the way to drop a couple of things off. Daughter coming over after work then we are going to our ladies wine club this evening - can't wait!

Alygran Wed 19-Sept-18 08:14:21

Good morning from a bright and breezy North Yorkshire. Gales forecast for today. Car has gone to be serviced so I am confined to barracks. Pottering and knitting for me I think. Hope the poorly people are feeling better. Have a good day.

cornergran Wed 19-Sept-18 08:01:37

Oh gilly I’m a seriously grumpy soul without sleep so Mr C is definitely in need of luck today. Suspect his hearing aid will be turned off smile.

DoraMarr Wed 19-Sept-18 07:53:34

Good morning Annie and everyone. Cooler today in this corner of Somerset, with rain promised. I’m going to the shop for croissants and pains au chocolat for everyone, then I’m going on a guided walk around Dunster, so I hope it keeps dry. I had a lovely time on the beach with second granddaughter yesterday, building sandcastles in the rain!

ginny Wed 19-Sept-18 07:52:16

Good morning all. Very windy still in N. Bucks.
Yoga later this morning after I have made a lasagne. Craft club outing this afternoon.
Staying at DD3s tonight as she has an early start a d SIL is away. I’m on DGS duty.
Best wishes to all those who are poorly, getting better or have appointments.

NanKate Wed 19-Sept-18 07:50:48

Morning Mick and All.

Sorry you feel so unwell Corner take care. I have emerged from my migraine haze and am back to my old self, thank heavens.

Sorry about your hoarse throat Mary I will send round Dr Gillesbie who you sent to me yesterday. I have to report he is rather old and hairy now, but the medicine in his medical bag seemed to do the trick, funnily enough it smelt and tasted like ? whisky.

Greyduster Wed 19-Sept-18 07:47:50

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Depending on which window you look out of, it is either sunny or very grey this morning in South Yorkshire! But whichever window, it is still blowing hard. DH has a routine medical appointment this morning, and I am doing battle with the ironing. Have a good day folks!

gillybob Wed 19-Sept-18 07:43:04

Good morning Mick,Kitty,Gaga,Oldgoat, Nfk, Cornergran and all to follow.

Very high winds overnight but a beautiful bright and sunny morning this morning. Still a bit windy though. School runs, then off to that place.

Enjoy your painting class Oldgoat and I hope the CH is sorted soonGaga at least it has started acting up now and not waited until the bleak mid winter to pack up.

Good luck with the endoscopy Nfk I’ve had a few of those over the years, always tell myself next time I will be sedated, but never do so it’s can’t be all that bad. Wishing it over with for you though.

Best of luck to Mr Corner (forgive me but I am not sure what for) things are always seem a million times worse when you haven’t slept Cornergran .

Have a good Wednesday everyone.

Good morning from a grey but warm Colchester.
Usual Wednesday coffee meet up in town this morning.

travelsafar Wed 19-Sept-18 07:37:35

Blue skies with some clouds here in Letchworth this morning. I have been reflecting on last night's 40th birthday meal and so happy it was a great success. I think a few of the young ones will be nursing a slight hung over feeling this morning, as they all trundled off to a bar after the meal to finish off the evening, us oldies trundled home to bed!!! Now back to normal today, supermarket shopping then a club committee meeting this evening. Note to myself to sharpen my pencils as i take the minutes and the chairperson does love to discuss a multitude of issues.smile

Willow10 Wed 19-Sept-18 07:37:07

Good morning all from a warm and windy East Northants. Off to my weekly archery session this morning, followed by coffee and putting the world to rights in Waitrose. Hope you feel better soon cornergran. Have a good day everyone.
