Morning all, from a rainy Hampshire.
Very eager to have a practice at Calligraphy, went to a brilliant lesson on Saturday, it is something I have always wanted to do.
Take care , hope the day is kind to all

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Grey and damp in South Yorkshire, but promises to brighten later. Broken night of snot and sneeze! School run this afternoon. Kind thoughts to all those facing a difficult day.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Much milder here and the snow has gone overnight. Bits and bobs to do today. May get back to the photo book of our holiday in Western Australia in 2016.
Sad day Maw. My thoughts are with you.

Good Morning from a very wet and windy Surrey. Supposed to be going on a U3A Walk this morning but don’t fancy walking in this weather so will stay indoors and potter. Going on holiday on Sunday so lots to do to prepare for that.
DH has to take his car in for repair, so he has a busy day too.
Have a good day all

Good morning everyone. Hope you all have a good day, stay safe and warm.

Good morning everyone from a very wet Essex by the sea. Appointment with the nurse for my BP this morning, 4th in the last few weeks. It's been quite high and she wants me to have new meds before I go to my daughter's tomorrow. Condolences to Maw. Have a safe day everyone.

Good morning, it is 4 degrees this morning and the snow is melting.
I have only been out of the house once in the last three weeks so could do with some fresh air.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Dreich today but not cold and all the snow is away.
The concert in Glasgow was terrific. So glad we made the effort.
Sad for you Maw it's extra hard when it's people of our generation or younger flowers

I'll be chasing up tradesmen this week.

Good morning Anniebach, Mick and all x

Thinking of you Maw?

Wet, grey and windy in SE Essex, nothing planned for today. Missing the gym but back still sore.

Keep warm and safe folks ☔️☔️

Good morning all, snow now gone and a grey day to come. Condolences to Mawbroon, and I’m glad you have company on the journey. I will phone to see if there is work at the charity shop today (perhaps lots of donations have come in) and go to the Post Office with some documents. Haven’t driven the car in nearly a week. Best wishes to everyone.

Good morning All x
Not a bad day so far and certainly not as cold as it was.
Up fairly early getting my jobs done as I'll be on my way out shortly.
It'll make a change to get out after it being bad underfoot.
Hope all is well with everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning Mick and all. A bit dull and damp in Lancashire but said to improve this afternoon. Meeting 2 friends for lunch, looking forward to it.
Have a good day everyone.

Grammaretto, I love going to Celtic Connections.
When I was teaching, my colleagues and I would race out of school, catch the train to town, (well we couldn't forego a glass of wine) go for a pre-theatre meal and then to a free Celtic connections event.
Happy memories. smile

Good times

Good morning all.After a night of heavy rain,it’s lovely and bright this morning.Got diabetic eye screening at midday which I am grateful to have but still dread.
Thinking of everyone facing a difficult day today.

Good morning everyone from County Durham. So pleased to be home after yesterday's late return from Stirling but seeing GD1 dancing in her ballet was well worth it. Such an outstanding ballet school and the performance by all was amazing.
Kitchen has finally arrived today so let another new journey begin.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss Maw and thinking of you today.
Stay safe and warm all.

Mythbirtthedragon Mon 04-Feb-19 11:05:36

Very wet so far in E10; I prefer cold and sunny. Have done my little bit of Spanish for the day then off to tennis at lunchtime. Waiting at the moment to see if our dodgy painter is coming back to do the snagging but doubt if we'll see him again. Will be picking up GD later to bring her back here as DD's house still a building site.

Hello everyone. Today in Warminster it is drizzling and very grey.
A sad day for you Maw but glad to know that you will have the company of your daughter.flowers
We are having our hallway decorated today. The decorator is using a water based paint as I am affected by the oil based ones.
My best wishes to Dora and anyone else who has a hospital appointment.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.wine

Dear Susan56, I went for screening last week. Don't enjoy it at all but it's not actually painful so feel guilty about moaning. Just being in a waiting room with lots of other elderly people is depressing. Have good intentions about smartening myself up.
Good morning to everyone. Condolences to Maw. Dreary weather here in East London.

Morning just about. Windy here in Nottinghamshire. It has brightened up from earlier. Feeling lazy was going to the library will go Wednesday instead. Hate not having a book to read.

Hymnbook Mon 04-Feb-19 11:40:29

Are there any ladies in my area who would like to meet up for coffee lunch etc. Nottinghamshire. Looking to make new friends

Marydoll Mon 04-Feb-19 11:51:49

Welcome Hymnbook, you probably won't get many replies on this specific threads to your question.
It would be best to start a thread of your own and make sure the title has Nottinghamshire in it. www.gransnet.com/forums/meet_ups_where_are_you

Good luck!

Chino Mon 04-Feb-19 11:52:33

Morning all from South Staffordshire- rain first thing but now dry and cloudy and no frost last night thank goodness

Going to my keep fit class this afternoon and then a visit to the library to choose some more books for myself

Kim19 Mon 04-Feb-19 11:55:49

Morning all (just made it). My exciting news is that I've just hung a washing out in full sunshine and a fair old breeze. How easily pleased am I?!
