Good morning everyone.
It's cold with hefty showers in the wild West of Northumberland. Been the same all night. Rain kept waking me up!
Off to knit & Natter this afternoon as I have promised to crochet together some knitted squares that one of the ladies is making into a blanket.
Have a good day all, welcome teaforone.

Good morning All x
Cold damp and dark in the NW. Sky looks heavy----snow ??
Full steam ahead this morning with a pressing appointment so must get cracking.

Hope all is well with you.

Morning all from blustery Fife! Horrible night last night but no snow so far! I have to drive a distance today so would be happy if it stays clear. Glad also to read I'm not the last to make my Christmas cake! left it a bit late this year but plan on doing it tomorrow. I am very new, just joined today.

Good morning all. Dull in Lancashire today, very cold and rain yesterday.
I'm making a cake this morning the fruit has been soaking in Guinness overnight.
I hope those with toothache and coughs are better soon. My dd's chest infection has brought on her asthma.
Hello to feelingmyage and teaforone.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning, all. It's grey and very cold in Nottingham. I'm in the process of sorting out ironing, and putting clothes aside, ready for a weekend in Yorkshire.

I've got some errands to run, too, then I'm meeting my eldest son for lunch and a mooch around the charity shops, and we'll fetch his 2 little girls from school, take them to a play centre, then a pub for tea, then take them back to their mum's.

I hope you all manage to have a decent day.

Good morning,
It's wet, grey and cold here at the moment. It's supposed to brighten up a bit this afternoon, but I'm not convinced judging by how it looks at the moment!
Hope your blood test went ok, mick.
Welcome to the newcomers. smile
Those of you feeling under the weather today, keep warm and drink plenty of warming drinks.
Have a good day all, if possible. ?

Good morning Mick, just for once I am reading this in the morning! Dry and cold are the two words that sum up the outside world. Done everything I need to do in the house, so going out, well wrapped up for walk and maybe a coffee. It will be a better day than yesterday.

Dull and cold here in Stockport.

Am just off to take Mum out for lunch, wish me luck! She is 86 years old, has Altzeimers but still manages to live alone - with help from me and my two siblings. She likes to go to a local pub and it does her good to be out of the house for a few hours.

Two things I need to sort out for her though first. Who is the man who was in her house this morning doing something, she paid him cash but has no idea what his name is or what he does for her! Not the gardener or cleaner as we pay them by direct debit. Then she reckons she has put something on her hair which has made it go ginger so she needs to rinse it off before we go out! I dread to think what she has done!

But she might be making it all up and getting confused with past memories or something she has seen on TV.

Should be a fun lunch! Afterwards I go round to my sisters house to give my nephew tea and take him swimming - my weekly visit as my sister works a late shift on a Wednesday.

Well, it's afternoon before I've got around to read this, so Afternoon everyone! It was a horrible rainy morning in Newcastle upon Tyne, but the sun has come out now. I'm going to make pain au chocolat with grandson (aged 3) this afternoon - one of those pop-up tubes that has a roll of dough in it. I will have to trying stop grandson swallowing all the chocolate before it goes into the dough grin. Have a good day!

Very cold down on the beach first thing. My sister came over from Anglesey for the morning and I baked her a batch of scones, pronounced scone rhyming with gone!!!

Good Morning here in California. How frustrating for you travelsafar. A deep red sky here this morning and rain clouds rolling in. Hurrah! We are forecast rain today, finally, and hoping it will clear the smoke somewhat. Fingers crossed...........

Well, we in the Midlands had heavy snow showers around
mid-morning?
As I live on a hill, I had to cancel my Pilates session, as it
would have been too risky going down into town.
I’m dreading the ice and snowshowers this winter especially after last year, we couldn’t get our car out for three weeks.

Greetings from a dreich and windy Aberdeenshire. HAD to go out for more pain killers as there is no improvement to the sciatica, bah. Got rammed up the tail by white van man driving too close and, of course, it was MY fault, according to him. No damage but got a hell of a fright. Anyway, the good news is that I have discovered alcohol free gin, Oh joy! (Can't drink for medical reasons and it beats fizzy water) You get it in one of the big four...the one with orange bags.

NannyJan53 Wed 21-Nov-18 15:50:32

Wow Magicmaggie I am in the Midlands but no snow here luckily in The Black Country!

Up at 6.50 with a cup of chai tea, watching bbc news and looking at the weather out the window, dismal and rainy in the SE but has improved as the day goes on.
Love that time of morning h is in bed asleep and I get to sit in peace and quiet
