As usual over ate , have put some weight on as well.
nice to get back to normal for a few days , back on another trip Friday to Paignton same period for a turkey and tinsel.

Morning Mick and All.

Good to have you back from I of W. I think we all over indulge on holiday. I wonder if you will go to the Zoo in Paignton this weekend ?

Chilly and dark in South Bucks.

Off to our W.I. Annual Meeting today. I wonder who will be persuaded to get our new President.

Morning Mick Kate and those to follow.
Just light enough to see a few clouds but basically a clear morning in Kent.
I thought I'd finished takubg DH to his gardening jobs for this year but know he has to finish iff this morning (sigh)
Glad you had a good weekend Mick it was suggested you nominate someone to start the thread in your absence as we have had double starters before. So who is covering next weekend ??
Have a good day everyone.

Thanks for your endorsement Nina I have been on the W.I. Committ in the past however I would make a rotten President as I am not prepared to follow the petty rules of the WI and I am too outspoken for some folk.

Good Morning All. x
Slowly dawn is breaking in a mild North West Dry so far.
Feeling slightly drained after 4 nights of fireworks going off and my 3 cats mortified. What sort of an idiot lets them off at 11pm,then at 6am ? Sorry to moan.

NanKate Tue 06-Nov-18 07:14:12

Committee ?

Morning All

A grey start in the north of Norfolk, but dry and quite warm really.

We’re moving our little boat to her winter storage today and I’ve just checked the tide times. It’ll be high tide when we get there and I have to “leap” ashore - Not! I shall be wearing a life preserver just in case she bounces off the mooring mid downward scrabble!

Morning all from Fife, sky is quite dark at the moment. Good to hear everyone in good spirits, hope all who follow feel the same. Coffee this morning with friend for catch up and thats' it really. Will def do some housework then if weather brightens will get out for a walk this afternoon with hubby. Have a good day.

Good morning all x

I am up bright and early today as of to Thursford (?) in Norfolk with my girlfriends.

A Christmas show this afternoon, hopefully lots of fizz and scrummy food.

Wishing you all a happy Tuesday x

This coming weekends intinary , is Torquay on the Saturday ,and Plymouth on the Sunday, which could be interesting as its remembrance Sunday, as to what time we arrive.
Have my own plans on the Saturday using a local bus route.
This last Sunday I used a local bus on IOW and it was a very frequent service as well, the Norton Grange where I was based looked out on the Solent, with chalets it was a different feel.
trips around the island on Saturday last, and Sunday morning was a trip to Osborne House with the weather being cloudy , looking across to Portsmouth was a nice sharp view from the gardens at the back.

Morning Mick, morning All. Gloomy start outside and in to our corner of Somerset. Off to a coffee morning then a bit of loft tidying today. Take care on (or off) the boat nfk, sounds challenging. Wishing you well at the dentist aggie, not my favourite event. Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.

Morning all, a grey damp chilly start to the day here in Letchworth. Out to meet up with some friends for coffee then off to Sainsbury's to get my double up points on the Nectar card and pick up a couple of items earmarked to use the voucher on. Not much else to do really for the rest of the day.

cornergran Tue 06-Nov-18 07:36:26

All sounds good mick, must be 20 years since we last visited the IoW. Used to be a regular day trip on the hovercraft from Southsea.

NannyJan53 Tue 06-Nov-18 07:38:35

Good Morning all from a very mild Black Country.

Sounds like a very enjoyable weekend Mick glad you enjoyed it.

I am meeting friends in Birmingham today for lunch, and whilst there may make a start on buying Christmas Cards grin

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone. Glad you enjoyed the Isle of Wight Mick- we did too on our recent GN competition prize weekend break there. Loved Osborne House gardens and grounds but not the inside of the house. In fact felt claustrophobic in there and had to escape!

It's a quiet, calm, silvery-grey sort of sky here on the south coast and still mild for November.

The pavement outside got its top coat of tarmac yesterday. Just the road to finish now and apparently there is a big gas main causing problems which will need moving. Doubt it is going to be finished by the published completion date of 23 November.

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Grey, misty and rather cold in South Yorkshire. DH has an appointment with the dental hygienist this morning. It’s rather brutal and he hates it, so he will feel rather sorry for himself for the rest of the day. And he has to go through it again on Friday when she does the other half of his mouth. Second school run this afternoon. Glad you enjoyed your weekend Mick. Make the most of these jaunts - it’s a long winter!

gillybob Tue 06-Nov-18 07:48:00

Good morning everyone . Glad you had a good trip Mick.

School runs then “that place” for me . Nothing changes very much . Hoping I can get there on the dribble of petrol I’ve got in the tank after much running around last night . hmm

Good morning everyone. Some pink some grey sky in Lancashire, still mild.
I have WI committee meeting today NanKate, I only have a small role though. We do our utmost to make sure there's something that interests everyone, I'm in the reading, walking and gardening groups.
Take care NfkD
Have a good day all.

Morning all from a misty North Leicestershire.

Good to see you back Mick and pleased you had a good time.

Please nominate someone to start the thread while you are away. Can I suggest nina? If she's happy of course! She is always up with the lark!

Kate keep your head down.grin

We had a super day yesterday with Wolfie and his family and this morning I am meeting a fellow gransnetter at the garden centre!

Enjoy your days everyone!

loopyloo Tue 06-Nov-18 07:58:52

Morning everyone. Bliss! I have a completely free day today. I hope the weather is like yesterday as have lots to do in the garden. And lots of tidying up in the house.

Marydoll Tue 06-Nov-18 08:03:04

Good morning all from a damp Glasgow with a hint of sun behind the clouds.
Waiting in for the new microwave, whilst DH goes for a haircut. On his return, I'm off to pick up a click and collect. I ordered it on Sunday afternoon and it was delivered yesterday. That's what I call service. It's a pair of purple boots, which I have been searching for the last few winters. smile I do love purple.
The pain in my hands has been excruciating, so little sleep to be had in this house last night. I may be forced to have a lazy day, not had one since the builders started! grin.
The electrician is coming on Thursday and the kitchen will be FINISHED!!!
I'm glad you had a great weekend Mick. Lucky you with another one to look forward to.
Have a pleasant day, everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Very warm again here. Into town for an eye test this afternoon. May have to fork out for new specs.
