Good morning x

Breezy here in SE Essex

Started putting up Christmas decorations yesterday. Have put a 3 foot real tree in GS’s bedroom hope he loves it when he comes home later ??

Shall write Christmas cards later, hopefully.

Popping down the road for a late breakfast/brunch with Mr GG later.

Hope you all have a peaceful day ?????

Morning Mick, Annie to come and all others. I was up early and the tea maker this morning. Having started these tablets last week, and Sunday is the designated day. So, the chicken is in the slow cooker, basted with soy sauce and tomato puree for colour. It may be ready at lunch time, if not, we will have it tonight.
I sympathise with the road works Mick, they seem to be all around us as well. Coming home last Thursday, the bus had to divert and miss our town centre, as a car and bus had collided and the bus engine caught on fire.
Marydoll fingers crossed for the yorkshires.
Have a good day one and all.

Morning everyone from a damp Fife. Not sure what the weather will turn out today but no matter, have a day of chores to catch up on. Maw - how exciting for you, hope you have wonderful time watching your DGS. Hope Sunday is a good day for everyone for those feeling under the weather, take care.

Good morning everyone, from Northampton, where the clouds are breaking up and the sun just rising.
Stayed in bed till 7.30, despite the cats sitting on my chest! Now enjoying a tea with a dark chocolate digestive.
Not a good day at rugby yesterday, 'nuff said.....
Will have a lazy morning with the papers, then will set to and write my Christmas cards, as I always do on the first Sunday in December.
Have a lovely day, Maw, you will be so proud of your DGS.

It looks beautiful here this morning here in Letchworth.There are shades of pink and grey against a lighting and hopefully brightening sky.smile
Christmas songs dancing in my head after the concert i attended yesterday in our local Free Church. Two hours of sheer happpiness and joy!!! Off to see one of my sons and his wife this morning for a coffee and a catch up. Then on my way home popping to the local garden centre to pick up a gift for someone which i finally decided upon. Hoping to get into town too for a couple of items i forgot yesterday.Then my plan is to cook a roast chicken dinner and put my feet up and finish knitting some slipper socks one of the ladies at the knitting group asked me for.

Sorry Maw, I meant to say that I hope you have a really lovely time at the Nutcracker. Do let us know how DGS gets on.

Good morning from a not quite light south east. Gd got us up early, I thought she'd lie in tired from swimming yesterday but sadly no 6.30 again! I'm still in my dressing gown looking out the window in the living room, it's all looking a bit grey and cloudy and somewhat wet. One of her pals is having a birthday do, so dropping her at a cinema party this morning, whilst we do some food shopping I've been instructed to get a joint of beef for dinner her preferred choice of roast, before we take her home this evening.

I hope you enjoy the Nutcracker MawBroon I remember my parents taking me to see that over the Christmas period many years ago, it's a lovely ballet, particularly for children.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning All

Overcast and damp with a light southerly breeze here in the north of Norfolk. And unseasonably warm. It’s starting to feel a little worrying, is the sun getting closer?

Nothing planned for today so I might start to tackle the spare room.

Marydoll Sun 02-Dec-18 07:31:55

Good morning Mick and everyone.
A damp start here in Glasgow.

A pottering about day for me and trying to catch up on the chores I have been neglecting whilst I've been unwell.

I'm going to try making Yorkshire pudding for the first time in my new oven. Fingers crossed.

Happy Sunday all and Maw. I'm sure your wee DGS will be wonderful.

Good morning Mick and everyone, from dark and damp N Bucks
Hoping it stays fair though, getting the train to Birmingham to see DGS in The Nutcracker at the Hippodrome smile
Wishing you all a pleasant day!

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, damp corner of Somerset. Don’t think it’s raining now but the puddles say it hasn’t long stopped. Writing cards today then some of the family coming for a roast and to offer technical advice on the new tv gizmo. Let’s hope they speak slowly in non technical language. Hope Sunday is kind to everyone.

Morning Ellan!

kittylester Sun 02-Dec-18 06:46:25

Morning mick, morning all.

There seem to be roadworks everywhere at the moment mick.

North Leicestershire is dry and mild at the moment.

We are thinking of hitting the shops today - it has to be done sometime.

Good morning All x
Been up since 5am thought it was the middle of summer I was so warm even the cats wanted to go out and play.
Very still weatherwise and of course unusually mild.
D popping in sometime today in between working and I could do with hoovering right now but I'll wake the neighbourhood.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, but dry this morning could be milder outside this morning.
Yesterday , saw plenty of Xmas activity in Bicester and Buckingham.
Mind you Friday , I popped into Banbury ,and the bus journey took 1hr and 20 minutes for a 10 mile journey, thanks to a bridge diversion , and gridlock getting into Banbury by further roadworks.
