Good Morning Monday

Above was to evianers

NfkDumpling We live just a few miles south of San Jose, so far enough away from all the fires raging both in Southern and Northern California. But it is still very frightening. We have had fires in our locale before, but nothing compared to what is happening right now.

Forgiven!

It’s bound to upset you Daisy. Absolutely awful when you just want to be with him and make him better. Travel safely.

Are you in California Artols? Several of the places we see on the TV are where we’ve visited and admired. So sad.

It's good afternoon from me as we didn't wake up until 9.45 this morning. Our last day in England before we fly home tomorrow and it has been bright and sunny in Peterborough. We celebrated DS no 2's 50th birthday on Saturday and yesterday drove to Norwich to meet up with youngest DS. A bad move as it was packed so couldnt even meet up where planned and ended up in a supermarket car park. I always cry after we leave youngest DS as he lives on his own with a life limiting disease. His choice but it still upsets me.

123coco I usually go to bed between 10.30 and 11.00pm, usually up by 6.30am

Artols please keep posting, it is lovely to hear from you. I too am very sad what you are all going through, it is terrible. Loving thoughts to you all

Thank you Greyduster

Whether you say “Good Morning” or “Good Afternoon” Artols we are happy to have you here! Very sad, what you are all going through over there.?

Unlike some, I really like this thread, only problem being, that by the time I get to it most of you are in the late afternoon! We still have the smoky atmosphere here from the fire(s), so the sun looks quite strange as it comes up each morning, a red glow through the smoke. Instead of saying Good Morning to everyone, maybe I should say Good Afternoon!

123 Coco: My mother, who is 90, wakes at 9, my brother takes her a cup of tea, but then she doesn’t get up until 11. Her neighbour, 85, always boasts that she is up by 6 and has finished her housework by 8. She goes to bed at 9. My mother, who goes to bed at midnight, can’t understand why her neighbour feels so virtuous.

For all of you people who are up by 6 o’clock, my husband tells me that you all must be in bed by 9.30 because I moan at him that he’s never up by 7 o’clock
Would you like to confirm or deny that please. I hope I am vindicated ?

I have started laying in foodstuffs that will keep, extra cat food, coffee, washing up liquid and toilet paper with Christmas in mind. I have also started buying presents, because the right thing for DH nearly bit me on the nose.

I refuse to start decorating or baking until after my birthday at the end of this month, but shall start the thorough Christmas cleaning soon. Right now DH and I are building an outdoor Nativity scene for the front garden and a small one that our bonus GC can finish themselves next weekend when the come with their mother.

Today's chore was the washing (well it is Monday) so I shall see you all on the other side of the Mulberry Bush.

Dora Sunny here in The Black Country too.

Still sunny here in Birmingham.

I didn't realise there was a 'normal format'? This thread is exactly what it says in its opening title. Anything more serious to discuss, you can open a new thread.

It is lovely to hear good morning from regulars and their plans for the day.

If it is not for you, best not to read and/or contribute!

Hello,
For those of us who are new to the “Good Morning” thread, I think it’s been slightly confusing as it appears in our email link as a “Top Thread”. Maybe that’s what MawBroon is thinking.
I don’t understand why it’s suddenly become a Top Thread this last week or so and had assumed it was a new idea thought up by GransNet central!

What's ruffled your feathers, GillyEB? If you dislike this thread, don't bother with it, is the simple answer to you. It's been the way you describe it for years. I take it you are a new poster. We always discuss the weather ( didn't you know it's a British tradition ??). So, no, we won't be changing what we do just to please you.
Oh, by the way, it's a lovely, sunny afternoon here. Chilly though. ??

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

Oh dear!
I wonder what you think the “normal format” is?
Mick started and has run this thread for as long as I can remember and it seems perfectly harmless, friendly and a pleasant start to the day.
Plus it is actually interesting to hear what the weather is doing all over the country! Perhaps I need to get out more?

Well said Nina. There are a lot of newcomers on here who “get it” and are very welcome. Obviously some don’t so they stay away and choose not to be rude to those who do!

GillyEB the thread is called "Good Morning......" for a reason and has a set of regular posters. Others never post on this thread which of course is their choice. I never post on the politics thread, my choice.
This thread has been posted daily for as long as I can remember. If you don't like it, don't open it. There are plenty of other threads to read. I really can't see how it's "spoiling the forum"

Good morning - beautiful weather here in Leicestershire - almost making me forget my problems.

We have the national weather, who cares about your weather,you’re spoiling the forum.
