Good Morning Saturday

Good morning everyone from a dry Essex by the sea. Off to town later to spend a voucher I have had since my birthday in June. It's for M.....n, a lovely soft jumper I saw the other day with £15 off the price. Probably visit GC later.
Mary your posts brighten the morning. My DH has had both hips replaced twice and cannot put his own socks on, he has a gadget to help him when I am not there and a shoe horn to help with his shoes.
Thinking of Gilly and her husband.
I hope you all have a lovely Saturday.

Good morning Mick & all from damp & cloudy Nottingham. We’re off to Castleton for the weekend with friends. Hoping to go to Blue John or Speedwell mine tomorrow if it’s open after effects of all the rain.
Love reading your posts Marydoll, I’m going to New York too in December with DD.

I try to do 8 - 10,000 steps everyday too Desjumeaux17
Enjoy your good weather all those on holiday.
Hope all not well or struggling have a better day.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a dreich, grey Aberdeenshire. bod

The sheets that I washed on Thursday are still sitting so I shall put them on the drying rack in the greenhouse.

May go to a Victorian tea and craft sale this afternoon but it depends if I nod off in the chair.

The mutt and I are away to the woodies and hope to meet a friend and her new dog...could be a new doggie pal, could be a dog fight. Watch this space!

Thoughts are withGillybob & her DH.

Good Morning from a very soggy Black Country.

Didn't do a lot yesterday, housework and made a batch of mince pies. They are very yummy! I tried the Paul Hollywood recipe. The mincemeat is homemade by my dear 89 year old Mum. All the family and friends get a couple of jars!

Marydoll you really can tell a story and I think you should be published. Your posts brighten up this thread! Considering the pain you are in I think you are a marvel!

Welcome to the thread love0c whereabouts in the country are you? Ginny you are indeed a wonderful friend

Love and best wishes to gilly you are in my thoughts constantly.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Another grey day in South Yorkshire. I am having a day in the kitchen today making pies. I’m hoping that, if I smile nicely at him, DH will offer to declutter and defrost the freezer for me! It’s cold in the garage and I don’t want to do it!
Thoughts with Gilly as always, and all those with troubles.

Good morning from North Yorkshire where it is still wet.
Off into the local town this morning then back to the village for a wander round our Christmas Market.
Marydoll thank you for making me laugh again. Your spirit is inspirational.
Thinking of Gilly and those with struggles.
Travellers enjoy the sunshine and views.
Hope today is kind to you all.

Good morning from a dark wet NE, it really does look miserable out there.
GD here for the weekend but I can't imagine doing any long walks.
Thinking of the gillybobs and hoping for better news.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hampton Court rings a bell with me YiaYia4. We used to live in Hampton village.

Morning NannyJan, I live up north but are down south at the moment. Going to have a walk along the beach. Enjoy your day!

Good morning from Shropshire.A dry,bright start to the day.
Have cancelled the plans we had for today so having a day at home catching up on everything and also doing some baking for DGD’s 4th birthday party tomorrow.
Mary,you really are a tonic and the way you deal with your pain and find humour in everything is inspiring.
Wishing everyone a good day and sending much love to gilly.x

We live in Walton on Thames Dragonfly,know Hampton very well.

Trip to nearest town imminent so coffee out and perhaps buy a few more Christmas cards. I enjoy both sending and receiving cards and find an electronic one absolutely no substitute. And as we always buy charity cards feel we are doing some good as well. Otherwise no particular plans for what is at present a dry day.

Marydoll, you brighten our morning with your adventures and make the most mundane experience sound so much fun that we are all laughing along with you! So thank you for that!
As always, Gillybobs in our thoughts and hoping for that glimmer of sunshine xxx

Good morning all,

It's a grey, but for now, dry morning in South Yorkshire.
I haven't read all the posts as in a bit of a rush, but welcome to any newbies, and anyone feeling unwell hope you soon feel better.
Thinking of gillly and her DH.

Take care everyone and hope today is a good one.

A late good morning from me in Malaga. It’s almost noon here. Boy it’s cold! Yes sunny (very) but there’s a biting wind.

I’m late to post because our dear neighbour who has become a friend over the years arrived yesterday afternoon back from a holiday in the U.K. visiting family in York and Knaresborough. She flew into Malaga and departing the aircraft realised someone had taken her cabin bag from the overhead bin stores by mistake!
?

She had a stressful time reporting it on her own, bless. She’s 84y and an anxious lady. I reassured her that it was likely to turn up as the majority of people are honest. She looked worn out. My husband asked her if she’d like a gin & tonic? ‘Ooh yes please I’d LOVE one!’ was the reply.

Long story short I’ve been in her apartment this morning (still in my pyjamas as you can with friends!) and it’s all sorted. A man returned her case this morning, picked up his own and she’s now in a taxi on the way back to the airport to be reunited with her own. She said his case (the only one left on the plane) didn’t look anything like hers - it wasn’t even the same colour! What a nuisance for her all round. Beggars belief really how the man didn’t check properly before waltzing off to his hotel!

Loved your tale from yesterday *Marydoll’! I can imagine your husband bustling you out of the hospital after that performance!

Ginny42 you SO deserve that bouquet! What a kind friend you are.

What a beautiful view from your son’s garden GG13 - quite stunning.

42 posts as I started my message and nothing from gillybob yet. Fingers and toes crossed for better news soon. Please know gilly you are constantly in our thoughts on here.

Hope Saturday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x
