Good morning Mick
Very cold and still dark here. Am going to the town hall today, again, to try and get my papers sorted before Brexit.
Have a nice day everyone

Good Morning Mick. Too dark to see if it's raining here on the south coast but it feels less cold and there was no rain showing in the forecast.

It's my monthly WI meeting this morning and then DH and I are going for a pub lunch afterwards. He'll meet me at the pub.

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

Morning mick, morning all.

It's still dark and not too cold in North Leicestershire. Hospital for DH this morning and then Sainsbury's this afternoon.

Enjoy your days everyone.

Good morning Micheal, Annie and everyone from a dark and mild Birmingham. I have an 8.15 appointment at the QE this morning, so an early start for me. Coffee with a friend later, then to my partner’s for dinner and a bit of bingeing on tv.
I’m missing looking after my grandchildren!

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.

I hope you are doing alright DoraMarr.

Back to yoga today after the long break. I hope it's gentle.

Good morning all from what looks like a dry Aberdeenshire, but it's still to dark to see what the sky is doing.
Am planning a garden tidy to rescue pots etc. which were blown about in last week's wind, then a trip to the dump, to dispose of accumulated stuff...very cathartic.
Have a good day everyone.

Hope the hospital visit goes well Kitty.

Morning All

Overcast here in the north of Norfolk, but it looks still so is probably a bit warmer.

Art classes resume morning and this afternoon friends are coming round so we can learn how to take over the management of a Group Facebook page. I should be reading all the bumph I’ve been sent instead of browsing GN. I must not prevaricate. I must not prevaricate!

Morning all from a cloudy dull Hampshire. Coffee meet up with dear friend this am, lots to catch up on!
Then ironing which I meant to do yesterday.
Have a good day all, and take care

Morning to all and to those who follow. It's still dark in Fife but looks rather damp outside. Rain tonight I believe. Doing some re-furb work in small bedroom/study so will help where I can. Maybe better staying out the way though smile. My bit comes at the end - tidying up. Hope all goes well for everyone today.

loopylou Fri 11-Jan-19 08:11:54

Good morning to you all!
It's overcast here north of Bath and, as it's not looking so cold, I'm hoping to get a bit of garden tidying done today. Lots of snowdrops flowering which is lovely!

Marydoll Fri 11-Jan-19 08:13:58

Good morning from a very cold Glasgow, but no frost, thank goodness.

Off out early to help a friend who has vertigo and then back to continuing my ruthless clearout.

Best wishes to Dora and Mr Lester, for hospital visits.

Have a good day all.

Welcome to a damp, grey and cold morning in Northampton.
Good lunch out yesterday, there were 18 of us!
Trying a new yoga class this morning with a couple of friends, hope it's gentle, and not too many downward facing dogs as I just cannot do that! Then we are planning on having a light lunch out afterwards. Gosh, that lunch out three days in a row!
School run this pm and giving the DGDs tea. Eldest is set to go camping with her Guide company in Epping Forest tonight, and she's not looking forward to it! Neither would I be in this weather...
Hope everyone's day goes well.

Good morning everyone from a grey but milder Essex by the sea. I need to pop into town to return some trousers and make an appointment at the bank then it's food shopping. Ironing later, wow I certainly know how to have a good time !!!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a dull, damp Colchester.
Another quiet day with only bed changing and ironing on the agenda.
I could easily hibernate through January.

Anniebach Fri 11-Jan-19 08:48:20

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

As usual, not going anywhere, not seeing anyone.

Hope everyone has a good day x

Willow10 Fri 11-Jan-19 08:49:21

Good morning all. I'm up late this morning after a very restless night. Enjoyed a nice natter at friends new house yesterday. Checked out the new Aldi and bought a popcorn maker. Hoping that it pops it better than I do in a saucepan! Not sure what today will bring but at leadt it looks a bit brighter outside.

harrigran Fri 11-Jan-19 08:49:58

Good morning, overcast but dry and 5 degrees.
DH is getting ready to take my sister to the airport, she likes to arrive good and early so I am staying at home to rest my poor back.
I spent yesterday watching TV as I could barely move, hoping for a more productive day.

Greyduster Fri 11-Jan-19 09:03:26

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Cold and grey but dry in South Yorkshire. Restless legs caused me to bed hop last night but it didn’t help. Sorry your back is still troubling you, Harri. Know what that is like. DH is planning to do “something” in the garden this morning and says I might like to help. Poor deluded man! Best wishes to all with hospital appointments today. Have a good day folks.

EllanVannin Fri 11-Jan-19 09:24:16

Good morning All x
Cloud hanging over again but it's dry and frost-free, if anything it's unusually mild-----different from 12 months ago !
Fingers crossed, a dizzy free day up to now. It was obviously the remains of the head cold I'd had, but very unpleasant while it lasted----walking into the walls and nearly missing the toilet,it was horrible.
Main thing was my INR was spot on yesterday at surgery.

Hope everyone's now lurgy-free and able to get on with your day.

annsixty Fri 11-Jan-19 09:26:58

Good morning all.
Dull again in Stockport, going to see H this afternoon instead of morning as I have been offered a lift.
I will be thinking of you and your H today kitty and you Dora, I have been there and done that.
Be prepared for the fatigue setting in in a week or so, so, look after yourself and rest when you csn.

Good morning everyone. It’s an hour ahead of the U.K. over here in Malaga so it’s 11am here now and warming up nicely. I’m on a fast day today (I started the 5:2 diet last week). I need to shift a couple of stones if I’m honest, but don’t tell anyone .... ?
