Yes NanKate, they do go “over the top” here whenever there are elections! We became citizens years ago in order to be able to vote. But I think I left my heart in England??

Good evening Mick, I don’t think we’ve ‘met’ yet! I take it you’re the ‘local’ Trevor Baker?

I shall be watching carefully Artols how the elections go in the US. Have you been swept up with all the electioneering?

It’s 7.55am here in Northern California. Clear blue sky, brilliant sunshine and a pleasant 7degrees. Forecast to reach 26, so a lovely day ahead!! Good Morning!

Hi Greciangirl and Nanny41, 12Michael or mick as he is more often referred to is at the top of today’s thread. He usually starts off our good morning thread, but has been away a few days, and is going away for a few days this coming weekend, hence the discussion as to who is going to start it off next weekend! It’s not cast in stone that mick starts us off, but it’s become a bit of tradition that he does, when he’s not away! ?
Hope that answers your question about who mick is.

Nanny41 Tue 06-Nov-18 15:00:58

Showing my ignorance I apologise, but WHO is 12Michael everyone else seems to know,why have I missed out? I would love an explanation please, I may be doomed as an idiot I realise.

I know what you mean Nankate about petty rules in WI. I was persuaded to join many years ago and found the rules ridiculous. I only went three times, never again! I' m averagely outspoken but it was obvious things were never going to change, I couldn't deal with the attitude - this is how we do it so we always will. When a few 'old school' died off, the group ended.

I had a lovely Tuesday morning. It's the day I go Nordic Walking with friends. Four miles today through fields and woods, ending with all eight of us having coffee in a pub.

Greciangirl Tue 06-Nov-18 14:10:40

Who is Mick. Will someone please elaborate.?

oldgaijin Tue 06-Nov-18 13:16:49

Greetings from sunny Aberdeenshire, Not! Horizontal rain and windy so shall remain in my warm sewing room making quilted Xmas balls.

It's a real honour nina
I am crafting a sash and crown as we speak.
Only to be worn whilst you are actually posting and then carefully put away ???

ninathenana Tue 06-Nov-18 12:49:11

I accept the nomination, thank you.

I will just say, if I haven't posted by 7.15 am feel free to open the door.

It's a good afternoon from me from a foggy but mild East Northants. I've been unable to get online until now! I spoke to BT for 20 minutes who told me everything was ok at their end, so it must be my device. Went shopping and whilst I was out I remembered the neighbours cat came in yesterday and was exploring behind all the furniture. So I've checked all plugs, wires etc are pushed in well and hey presto! Better late than never. I hate losing internet connection - it's like losing my right arm! Hope everyone is having a good day.

Just time to add my 'Good morning' to you all from a grey and cloudy west country before it becomes the afternoon! Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Good morning (just). It’s taken me a long time to get moving this morning after last evening’s annual bonfire making. I cooked potatoes and corn under the fire so we had a little feast with soup and sausages afterwards and an added gingerbread man for my little grandson. I guess I strained my back last week and any activity seizes me up. Four weeks before my DD and 3 GCs arrive for a month and so much to do. Dull but windy here.

nonnasusie Tue 06-Nov-18 11:09:12

Buongiorno a tutti, we've got some warm sun now after a foggy start . I hope it continues as we have lots of outside jobs to do!

Marianne1953 Tue 06-Nov-18 11:03:26

It’s brilliant here in South Queensferry, suns out and fairly warm. I’m off for a long walk.

Legs55 Tue 06-Nov-18 10:58:09

Good morning Mick, very wet & windy here in Devon (Newton Abbot). Hope it clears up for your trips Sat/Sun, forecast is showery until Friday

Just returned from a walk by the sea. with my dog High tide today so walked on the path above the sand dune, sun shining on my way back to the vehicle. Had a chat with two different regular dog walkers. We noticed a new house built on West Shor, red brick, out of sync with all other which are white washed. Having new window fitted this afternoon, so will have to take down curtains and move some furniture..

Kim19 Tue 06-Nov-18 10:44:40

Grey and muggy well up North with me but I've a new venue to try for lunch in delightful company. Bravo retirement!

NemosMum Tue 06-Nov-18 10:43:01

Morning everyone! Getting in on the act rather late, but the sun is at last breaking through in Newcastle (upon Tyne). Irenelily - so pleased you're feeling better now. I'm getting my hair trimmed this afternoon - a novelty these days as I was bald for 6 months during and after chemo up to Christmas last year. Yes, it's good to be alive!

Good morning all, My first visit. Meant to say hello at 7.30 then started the chores and got carried away. Time for a sit down and a Danish pastry. marydoll not sure why your hand are sore but there was a thread yesterday about rhus tox and rota for arthritic hands. I am off to the charity shop with bags of donations. Have a good day all.
