Good Morning Friday

Harrigran I’m envious. Tom Hardy lookalike? ?

Good day to you all, I was up and out early tis morning for an appointment. I intended to do my food shopping but gave up the will to live with the crowds in the shops and traffic on the roads and also trying to find somewhere to park. So back home now and will go out this evening. Its bright but damp.

I did,AlieOxon. Hooray.

NB. Had posted earlier regarding waiting for a parcel via an email from D in Oz. Well it arrived not long ago-----half of Bodyshop ! It'll take me all year to use it.

The said BBQ that she was preparing would sadly have been marred by golf-ball size hailstones which hit Sydney and has caused millions in damage as these things dent cars and also cause injury if you are unfortunate to be out in them.

Hey, didn't anyone realise - it's the shortest day!!!!

Good Morning.
It is mild but windy here in Norfolk. It has been quite mild here and there are still calendula and erigions blooming in the garden. Holly trees and cotoneaster full of berries.

Morning everyone. Just had scrambled eggs, toast and coffee. DH said he’s off to the rugby scrum - he’s offered to do an Aldi shop today for one of our daughters. I will wrap the presents while he’s out.
I giggled at the thought of these un-iced Christmas cakes. No matter how organised we are, sometimes life gets in the way of life!

Oh Marydoll, you bring a big smile to my face. Unfortunately wasn't gifted with the art of sewing, in fact there's not a lot I can do. Maybe virtually send them over and see what I can do though.

Good morning.
Well, it seems to have stopped raining here for the moment, but it's very damp, grey and dismal.
Going out shortly to visit a friend and give her her birthday present for tomorrow as she's going away for a few days this afternoon, and I would like her to have her gift before she goes.
DH is home this afternoon for the Christmas break. Looking forward to having him home. It gets lonely for us both whilst he's away all week.
Just prepped all the ingredients for the stew so when I've drunk my tea, I'll add them all to the slow pot and let it work it's magic.

Good morning, it is grey and damp here in the NE.
The diabetes prevention session yesterday was interesting as the educator was a Tom Hardy look-a-like. Our course started with ten participants, now in the third week we are down to five people attending.
Must do some shopping today.

Greetings from Buckinghamshire! Makes a change from Aberdeenshire...a bit warmer down here but windy this morning. Had a good flight down yesterday, but why does travelling make you so tired?
My bed has just been invaded by two grandkids and the dog...lovely!
Am thinking of all those cakes being iced today...Have a good day all

Good morning All x
A bit late this morning as one cat decided it wanted to go out at silly-o'clock. I didn't even look at the time but seemed to be early hours, then the wait for it to come back in which it did eventually like a drowned rat-----on my bed so good job I have a cover on top.

Rainy but on the mild side. Was going to go out but just received an email from D in Oz to expect a parcel today, she was on her way to buy drinks for a BBQ party. Alright for some !

Hope all is well with everyone. Take care.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Very tired, had therapy yesterday, little sleep last night

Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning Mick, Annie to come and all GN's.
It's damp here but not raining, yet.
Well goodness, gracious me, I got my cake iced yesterday. I made my own fondant icing, so hope it's alright. I don't like the bought stuff, too sweet, and I had lost an old recipe, so I cobbled one together. Here's hoping it's edible.
Not much planned today, but hoping to see a friend who is just back from a long holiday.
Enjoy your day folks.

Morning. Overslept this morning but nothing on as had a busy day yesterday.

First biopsy then NWR Christmas dinner.
Now need to see if Mum is coming out of hospital today and get my head in gear for Christmas.

Marydoll you are a treasure for your children mine live too far away to help in a practical way.

Pleased to hear the roads are getting cleared.

Good morning everyone, from a dull and damp south-east. London today to see Hansel and Gretel with DH, DD, and DGS. I haven't iced the cake either or done lots of other things. Shall think about those tomorrow. Have a happy, or at least stress-free, day.

Morning Mick, morning All from a grey and damp corner of Somerset. Feels mild but could do without the damp. The cake will be iced today, plan to invite a neighbour for a cuppa and that’s about it other than Mr C on ironing detail. I would offer to do the jeans marydoll, but your daughter wouldn’t like the outcome . Hope Friday is kind to everyone.

Good morning from soggy North Yorkshire.
Out for a coffee with a friend this morning then perhaps a walk and curl up with my book. And the Christmas cake to ice.
Hope the day is kind to everyone.

Brunette, don't worry, you are just super organised. Enjoy the peace, while it lasts.
I could send you DD's denims to sew, if you are looking for something to do!

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It's dark and damp here in Fife once again however it's acceptable. No wind - I hate the wind. Everyone seems really busy and I'm wondering what to do today. I have no plans so I shall do some household chores and probably go for a walk later on. It worries me that I don't seem to have anything outstanding to do - I had better check my brain again me thinks. I hope you all have a good day and enjoy

Good morning from a damp, breezy but very mild Colchester. Just opened the front door and it's warmer out than in. Phone app says 12 degrees already.
3 year old here again for the day. He wore us out yesterday.

Good morning Michael and all GNs. It is persisting down in South Yorkshire this morning! I have some food shopping to do and DH has a medical appointment later, but other than that we will not be venturing far. We bottled this year’s sloe gin last night. It is delicious - no wonder I slept like a top! Have a happy day folks.

Good morning all from a dark, damp Glasgow. It's 6 degrees, but that's better than 0 degrees! .

It's good news that bridges are now open. Our wee town is gridlocked just now, due to numerous road works and temporary traffic lights, it's horrendous.

A busy day ahead. DH planned to go out to lunch, but we have had to cancel.
DS1 phoned asking us to take DGD overnight, as they have had little sleep all week, due to DGD's persistant coughing and it making her sick.

Then I found out DIL's car was going into the garage and she planned to walk around with coughing DGD for fours hours to kill time until it was ready. The garage is two towns away, so no point in coming home.

We didn't let on abour our romantic lunch and I will go and stay with DGD, DH will go and pick up DIL and we will do it in the reverse late afternoon. DS is away on business, so he can't help.
I was so organised for Christmas and it's all falling apart.
Oh and DD has left three pairs of denims to be altered!!

I too haven't iced the Christmas cake.

Kitty, I will seen DH to do your ironing, it will get him from under my feet, he is a dab hand at it. .
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone from a windy and damp south coast. It's the shortest day today so back towards the light from tomorrow.

I was wakened just after 6am by the sound of machinery outside and lo and behold, the white line team were already on site ready to put the finishing touches to the new road layout. No way could they see where to put their white lines at that time so I am unsure why they came so flipping early! Anyway, like others on here report, it seems there is a concerted effort to get roadworks done before Christmas and I say three cheers to that after months of disruption outside our house.

Apart from a visit to the library tomorrow, I have done with shopping, hopefully until 2019 but time will tell.

Hope all those with health or other problems find some ease today and that we all have the best day possible.

Morning All

Morning All

It’s soggy, dark, miserable and mizzly outside in Norfolk. Nothing planned again for today, but it’s surprising how a day with nothing on can fill up. I may wander into town and shop a bit. Love retirement!

Morning Kitty best of luck with the ironing.
