Good morning from Lancashire. Much warmer than it should be...I was in a t-shirt yesterday. Very strange!

Morning Mick, morning All from a misty corner of Somerset, sky is a very odd colour, sort of pale taupe. Mr C has an early medical appointment. After that some breakfast out then if the mist has cleared a walk before the food shop. Hope your friends funeral goes as well as it can Mick and Friday is kind to everyone.

Good Morning from a fairly mild Black Country. Slight frost first thing.

Have 2 DGD's here who stayed overnight. Just about to make them breakfast, then drive the 5 miles to their school. I will collect them this afternoon, and await the call to take them to their new home!

Hopefully, manage my Friday 'Walking for Health', as it was a glorious warm day yesterday.

Thinking of you Mick today. It is always so sad when it is someone you have known for many years.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from a frosty North Leicestershire. I think we have a warm day ahead.

DH is off to queue at the doctors to try to get an appointment today. I am off to the butchers and Sainsbury's as we are having a visitation next week!!

I hope your funeral goes well Mick and I am sorry to hear your friend has died.

The funeral we went to yesterday was a love filled occasion. My sil's father was a good gardener and known for his wonderful veg. The coffin top display was made up of all manner of colourful veg among the flowers.

Sadly, I also discovered that the brother of my other sister in law has prostate cancer.sad

Morning All , all the fresh air means a good sleep by all , apart from Soninlaw heading to work all is quiet here .

Good Morning All. Clear skies in Cheshire right now. Its probably quite cold out but should get quite warm later. Time to get more weeds out.

Sorry to know that Kitty. Wishing strength to everyone who has troubles.

It is a strange and misty morning here.... the lights across the bay at Brixham seem to be sparkling strangely... I guess it is the dampness in the air causing that?

The sun is coming up as a bright red ball of fire.

Probably going to have an exciting morning walking into town to the bank and the library. Have a good one All. flowers

Good morning from frosty Colchester. The sun is out and it will warm up nicely later.
Walking into town for a haircut. I expect I'll be carrying my coat home.

Not slept well last night as sister been scammed out if lot if money due to telephone call from her supposedly bank please be aware Gns they have ways of really making you believe they are real. She may get it back has left her upset and vulnerable she says she s not answering her phone again if it comes up this bank. Very intelligent woman who has been left feeling stupid. Have better day all.

Good morning still frosty here in Leicestershire.

Nothing planned today so having a lazy day but with a walk in the sun this afternoon.

So sorry to hear about your friend Mick and your sister in laws brother Kitty. It has not been a good year so far!

Willow10 Fri 15-Feb-19 07:45:12

Good morning all from a bright but frosty East Northants. I've missed a couple of mornings rushing out to join long traffic queues - it's like cone city around this area! Seems like everywhere you go there are road closures, diversions and road works. I need to leave early again to get to ten pin bowling this morning. I hope today is as warm and Spring like as it was yesterday. Mick flowers

Good morning to all and those who follow. It’s a bright, dry and a quiet start to the day here in Fife, just lovely. It’s a milestone birthday for me today so have a busy day in front of me. Off for a nice lunch followed by champagne and cake with my lovely little family. So looking forward to it. Thinking of you all with worries today I hope the day gets better for everyone.

Good morning all.
Sorry to hear about your friend Mick ?
Have had a nasty bug for the last few days, hopefully over it now.
Hope everyone has a good day.

BlueSapphire Fri 15-Feb-19 07:51:27

Oh dear, hope your sister manages to get her money back Harris. These telephone scammers are evil; I never believe anything anyone tells me over the phone.

Good morning everyone; it's very frosty in Northampton and a lovely clear sky.

Sainsbury's and M&S food shop later plus a light lunch and coffee. Then school run this afternoon and DGDs here for tea.

Hope everyone's day goes well.

1inamillion Fri 15-Feb-19 07:53:28

Enjoy your birthday Brunette10.

Harris27, very sorry to hear about your sister. Heard a similar story about a doctor who was similarly scammed.

Marydoll Fri 15-Feb-19 08:02:28

Good morning all from a very frosty Glasgow, it's -4 degrees, so a bit chilly.

I'm off to meet the Glasgow grannies today and I'm looking forward to seeing some new faces. The dreaded cough is back, but I shan't let that stop me. grin

My thoughts are with the lovely Soop , hoping all goes well with her appointment today.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister, Harris, there are some horrible people out there.

Mick, my sympathies with you. It's so sad when we see our peers dying, someone I know was transferred to the hospice last night.

A very happy birthday to Brunette, who has a significant birthday today, have a lovely time! ???

Have a pleasant day, everyone.

Good morning everyone from a mild but sunless South Manchester. Lunch out with my father at noon then tonight off to listen to Michael Mosley talk about the 5:2 diet.
Perhaps I shouldn’t have any garlic bread!
What a worry Harris for your sister. We are warned often enough about giving details so I guess the scammers have upped their game. Sadly the banks often refuse to budge I hear saying we’ve been warned. I hope your sister proves the exception to the rule. Do let us know.

Urmstongran Fri 15-Feb-19 08:07:13

Meant to say ‘Happy Special Birthday’ to Brunette and condolences to you Mick. ?+?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 15-Feb-19 08:15:33

Good morning all x

Happy Birthday Brunette, sorry to hear about your brother in law Kitty.
Hope the funeral goes as well as expected Mick.

Warming up and sun is out in SE Essex. May have GC here for the day as they are “snotty and grotty” and doesn’t want to go to pre-school!!!

If not I will meet some friends for coffee.

Keep safe x

Harris27 Fri 15-Feb-19 08:26:39
