Good Morning Thursday

Hello, all.
I'm very late today, too.
Had a lovely day outdoors, bird watching. The autumn colours are so gorgeous, aren't they?
We were going to go yesterday, but the forecast was better for today, and so it proved to be.
Hope everyone has had a good day. ?

Evening Mick and everyone. Late today, and just forgot!
Busy morning, housework and washing. Managed to dry outside as we had some lovely sunshine. Then made sausage rolls for Christmas visit to DD; they are now in the freezer. Of course I had to have a couple to see if they were ok (they were!). And I also gave some to my lovely neighbour who came round to deal with my fallen over apple tree. We decided that it had seen better days, so he cut it down, and also my plum tree which had been poorly for years - very sad, but had to be done.
Also made some burgers from scratch (Mary Berry spicy chilli burger recipe). So much nicer than bought ones, and will enjoy one for tea tonight. Others are in the freezer.
Hope everyone had a nice day.

Evening Mick, just got back from a lovely day out on my birthday so I am late jogging on. Been a a beautiful day here and in South Wales, feeling tired and relaxed and ready for my evening meal.

Smoke has come back with a vengeance, smells quite bad this morning. But the sun is fighting its way through. Making a batch of Minestrone Soup today for a friend who is ill. This evening to the Ice Hockey to watch the San Jose Sharks. The dogs will have to miss their walk today, too smoky.

Hope all are having a good day, albeit a grey one ! I’ve been invigilating in exams on/off all week. I am now packing for a long weekend in Bournemouth, visiting a life long friend, and the forecast is good, fingers crossed ?

Aberdeenshire, once again, is bathed in sunshine. No firm plans for the rest of the day, but have located a graveyard where ancestor may be buried and as it's not far away, may investigate it...must look out wire brush to clean any stones.
Made another hefferlump money box last night at ceramics class.

Just read the BBC on-line news. Awful happenings at No. 10 and around. Where will be all end? No wonder the weather is so dismal.

Good morning everyone. Another sunny day in Portugal which is good because need to get the clothes washed and dried ready to repack for England again on Monday. My lovely cleaner found my proper winter clothes which will be needed next week according to the forecast. Doctor confirmed the costochondritis so off there for another injection a bit later and every day until we go away. This getting old isn't much fun at times.

Lovely day in the West Mids. I'm off shopping leaving DH cooking - I am best off away from that. Lovely of him but he turns it into such a palarver

Good morning all.. it’s a bright and sunny day here in South Lanarkshire ..at the moment ! Just listening to Mrs May if noth8ng else she is a battler and as such should be heard ....going to Glasgow for some Christmas shopping...enjoy you day all

Good morning have a rare day off so will clean the house unless I get distracted! Blue skies in the north east of England. Good washing day!

A late good morning from a very dull Essex. Just dropped my car of for its MOT and service, just hope all goes well. Later have the dreaded talk with our vet about the future (or not) of one of our very elderly dogs. And finally a visit to sister who is in a very nice care home. Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from a sunny West Yorkshire. We’ve a busy day ahead. A shopping spree with the doubled up Nectar points, a haircut, the oldies’ cinema screening, a local history talk. And lots of cleaning (if I fit any of it in).

DGS3 made me laugh yesterday. He asked me at playgroup if he could have another biscuit and I said no, I’ve been watching you and you’ve already had four. I haven’t, he retorted indignantly......I’ve had five.

Morning Mick, Annie, and all.
Enjoy your granddaughter’s visit Annie.
I am feeling quite nostalgic about Rayleigh, and the meet up there today. I lived there years ago, but expect it is greatly changed now. Have a good chat.
I did wonder about the Ideal Home Show Marydoll ? and hope your little GD is soon back to full health.
Nina hope the injection goes well.
To all GN, have a good day.

Good morning..bit late today but have taken DGD to school, had breakfast and sent a few urgent emails for my role as school governor so I am not just lazing in bed! Grey day here but not raining.. just damp air! No particular plans today..so maybe a bit of ironing or other tedious chores until the DGD are here after school!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in a cloudless South Yorkshire sky but it is cold!! Two new tyres to be fitted to the car today, if they arrive in time, then school run later. NanKate dust is nature’s way of protecting your furniture........ Have a good day folks!

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

My younger granddaughter is calling today

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Very foggy here, I can’t see across the field behind the house!
Catching up with friends for coffee then a third night out in a row. This time a flower arranging demo.
Hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good Morning everyone.

Late today after our weekly supermarket trip. It is cloudy and dull but very mild here on the south coast.

I thought I would have a light bill this morning but having decided to stock up on bathroom toiletries and Christmas chocs (for gifts), plus two stocking fillers, the bill was much the same as usual.

I had a good list-making session yesterday and did a fair bit on online shopping so am feeling organised. As a Virgo I need that!

Choir was a bit of a shambles last night. Our regular accompanist was away and the stand-in was not very good. Half the choir had been suffering with a lurgy, several were away and our poor MD was pulling her hair out when she realised we only have two more rehearsals before the concert. Hey ho!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. The sun is just emerging but it looks clear and calm.
I don't think I have to go anywhere this morning but have lost my diary.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
I had the choice of Essex GN meetups in Colchester, Wanstead and Southend this morning, but I am on Grandma duty instead.

Good morning from a grey Leigh on Sea. I am looking forward to meeting GrannyGravy13, Sar53 and ebayqueen in Rayleigh this morning. Weather forecast is for a bit of sun at 12ish so fingers crossed as Holy Trinity Church and Rayleigh Windmill looks so lovely in the sunshine. Have a lovely day everyone

Morning Mick and All

Calm and cloudy in South Bucks.

Kitty can you send your new cleaner down to me too as there is a layer of moon dust in our house. ?

Mary what a very worrying time for you with your DGD in such distress. I find I have to go very carefully with the reception staff at the doctors as they take even a slight criticism of them as a black mark against you. Hope she feels better today.

I have an appointment tomorrow with my new dentist as I either have a tooth infection or neuralgia, not sure which.

Good morning All x
Beautiful bright clear start in the NW this morning. Expecting GD at sometime so a mixed grill for when she arrives as it's an easy option.
Must phone to arrange 'flu-jab after deciding that I'd better "go for it",although the surgery had run out of vaccine last week so possibly new supply,we'll wait and see.

Hope all is well with one and all.

I should have said, "Country Living Fayre", I'm at sixes and sevens!
