Surely this feed is not a topic of discussion,all this good morning business is a bit much,It makes the discussion like a church coffee morning. Please keep to the normal format.

I am loving this 'Good Morning' thread. It poured this morning in South Bucks but now it is mild with blazing sunshine. The DH and I have had our morning constitutional walking round the village circuit and admiring the spectacular autumn colours. I am trying to do some Christmas visit planning and finding that half of the weekends ahead are already taken. Goodness me!

Good morning from France. Oh dear...... I fear you will all be rather cross and envious when I keep on writing day after day that we are bathed in brilliant sunshine. Have been out in the garden raking up beautiful orange-coloured fallen leaves. Lausanne, opposite us on the CH side, is also bathed in golden light. The Lake is sparkling. Wish you were all here

Morning everyone from sunny North Cambridgeshire where I’m still convalescing on my eldest daughter’s farm. By the sound of it, I’m glad I’m not back home in Kent yet, Nina! Weather seems better here!

Good morning all from a sunny Birmingham. Awake at 5.45 again- I think I still haven’t adjusted to the clock change! I’ve had a frustrating morning trying to track a pair of boots I bought from the Pikolinos online store. UPS seem to have them somewhere in Tamworth, but have told me I need to contact Pikolinos in Spain so they can investigate, even though their own tracking system shows that they arrived in Tamworth last Thursday. I’m waiting to speak to a UPS manager.
Shopping today for a new phone. I’ve got my dander up now, so I shan’t be letting any phone salesman convince me I need a more expensive model than I want. Grrr.

Good morning from a tropical Aberdeenshire! The mist is rising off the river and there is a roe deer browsing in the forest. The sun is ablaze. Had a fun weekend with a soup and pud event on Saturday lunchtime followed by a beetle drive in the evening. Never mind fine dining and the casino! Am off to hang out the first load of washing.

Morning all! From the sunny Borders. I found it hard to get up today after a brilliant but sad concert last night. Washing, cleaning and, garden chores today . Maybe pick up my knitting.

aggie Mon 12-Nov-18 10:08:45

Good morning all , bright but damp and cool , off to grocery shopping soon , such excitement ! not !

Morning Nina, Annie and all. Hope Mick has enjoyed his short break.
Sun is out and it’s a bit breezy, from the looks of the trees moving around, but the first lot of washing is in and will be going out soon. I was up and showered earlier than I needed to be, as I thought my appointment, this morning, was for 10.00 am. On checking, it’s not until 12.40, so have a bit of time for GN.
Hope to finish my jumper that I am knitting, today. Then it’s the sewing up. Not keen on that.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning, dry and bright here in the NE.
I have linen cupboards to sort and wardrobes to tidy but first I will just spend a while on GN.

Good morning from Leicester which is bright and sunny. We too had a busy weekend with DS and family. I am not sure who was most excited - DGC or Grandpa! It has given us new ideas for C presents so I am off to a toy shop this morning and this afternoon I will make the C cake. Lots of lists here too!

oldgoat Mon 12-Nov-18 08:17:18

Good Morning from a damp but brightish Fife. Plan to go for a day trip to the big capital today for a nosey around shops. Hope all are fine today for those under the weather just keep your chin up. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Just put some rubbish out and it's quite mild.
Walking Netball this morning.

Good morning All x

Bright in the North West though not sure if it will last. I've been up since 5am pottering and tidying up.Why I wake at this hour I don't know but I can't go to sleep again as I'm always wide awake. Maybe because I have the bedroom window open,I don't know but I love to smell the sea air.

kittylester Mon 12-Nov-18 07:32:45

Morning all from a misty Suffolk. Our room over looks the sea which I'm sure is there somewhere!!

We slept till 7 which is totally unheard,

Morning All

Grey and still outside here in the north of Norfolk.

Got back fairly late last night from a weekend with DD1 and family on the other side of Aylesbury. A lovely weekend with a lovely lunch in a lovely local pub yesterday to celebrate our birthdays in the company of the other grandparents too. No idea what's planned for today after the long hot bath I intend to have shortly.

Willow10 Mon 12-Nov-18 07:18:26

Good morning all. Dry and bright but chilly in East Northants. Yesterday was spent watching soppy Christmas films and doing a jigsaw. Taking granddaughter and baby great grandson to a garden centre today to see the Christmas lighting and displays. There, I've said it, the C word - twice! Have a good day everyone!

Greyduster Mon 12-Nov-18 07:15:41

Good morning, Nina and all GNs. When I looked out at six o’clock Venus was very bright in a clear sky. All change an hour later to a pall of grey. Yesterday’s sunshine was lovely though. Domestics here today and then maybe out for tea with DD and GS later. Have a good day, folks.

NannyJan53 Mon 12-Nov-18 07:15:01

Good Morning from a damp Black Country but with a very bright blue sky. Just back from taking Partner to train station and it is surprisingly very mild.

Usual Monday 90 minutes walk this morning. Then popping to Aldi for a few bits and bobs.

Making a Lasagne this afternoon for the freezer (I know how to live smile

Have a good day everyone

NanKate Mon 12-Nov-18 07:13:27

Good morning everyone from a very dull, but mild Essex. Youngest GD for day yesterday so need to recoup my energy levels. It was lovely having her though. DH out this morning on a hobby so housework for me. Hope you all have a good day.
