Good morning all from a dark and damp Glasgow, where it is 7C/45F, I think I will start a new career as a TV weather presenter! grin.

I've been pottering about since 6am and as usual, noticed wee jobs needing done.
My baking cupboard has been tidied and wiped down, out of date crisps , thrown out, ( blush I hate waste ), hall cupboard tidied and a few bits and pieces for NY done. By 11am, I will need a doze!!

Nothing much planned, I think I will have a go at making savoury crêpes for dinner, I seem to have lost my appetite, but unfortunately not losing any weight! angry. Perhaps grazing from the Quality Street tin is the problem! grin

Still no nausea tablets as yet. I enquired at the doctor's about them. The prescription apparently had been sent to the pharmacy, but when I got there, they insisted they had only received it and I couldn't have it. I stressed I had requested it EIGHT days ago!!
The pharmacist reluctantly agreed to dispense it, but I would have to wait an hour.
Eventually I gave up, as we had the nursery pick up and couldn't wait that long. angry
I will go back tomorrow, it's in the next town and the parking near it is horrendous and so stressful.
DIL brought my new glasses home last night, but one pair keeps sliding down my nose, (and it is a rather large nose), so I shall combine the optician with the pharmacy trips.

I have a Click and Collect parcel to get at our local Boots store, (I didn't know you could do that) and look for a nice card for DIL's birthday, which will be while we are in NY.
DIL is so difficult to buy for, so asking her to choose a gift in NY is the ideal solution. ?

Hoping that Gilly enjoyed her time with wee Evie yesterday and her husband continues to improve.
Enjoy your day, whatever your plans.

Good Morning All. Wet here in Cheshire and It seems to have been wet all week.
I really need my cup of tea like it is a drug. Funny that. I stagger into the kichen to put the kettle on.
I assure you all it is only Yorkshire tea. Have a good day.

Good morning Mick and all from a wet and cold S E Essex.

We are home from Kenya, and already missing eldest son and wife. We had a marvellous time with them but the weeks flew by.

Off for a a Christmas gift shop later.

Thoughts are with the gillybobs

Marydoll hope you are looking forward to retirement and New York.

Wishing you all a a safe Wednesday.

Kitty it took me over 4 hours to do one photo book recently. You’ll be better at it I’m sure. smile. I recommend plenty of coffee, cake and paracetamol along with the odd wine to help the process along. Good luck.

Morning Mick, morning All. Stayed overnight in Wiltshire where you won’t be surprised to hear it’s raining, fairly mild though. Lunch with a friend then a quick visit to Littlest who has been poorly and is feeling very sorry for himself before two motorways home. Floating or driving, who knows. Love to gilly and her husband as ever and a hope that Wednesday is kind to everyone.

Morning all from a damp North Leicestershire- I think we had rain overnight but is not currently raining.

Out for cupcakebrew with a lovely gner this afternoon but, before that, Iwill do the photobooks, Iwill do the photo books.............

Hoping to hear good news from gilly. And sending good wishes to marydoll and all who need them.

Good morning from yet another wet day in Northampton!

Had a lovely day with my DB and his wife yesterday; a long chat over coffee, then a delicious meal out at a nearby pub. That was interesting, as sitting two tables away from us was Charles Spencer (Princess Diana's brother)! It would not be unusual to see him there as it is on his Althorp patch, and I have seen him there before. My DSIS-in-law was quite impressed.

Off to book club this morning, and then I may have to go and sit at DS's house as he is is expecting a delivery which must be signed for. So I will probably have to miss my health walk this afternoon. But as it looks wet, that will be no great hardship.

Hope Gilly had a lovely day yesterday with her little DGD. Best wishes to all for the day.

Good morning from east London, where it’s wet and quite mild. Tennis session this morning then cinema this evening so plenty of time (!) between to wander round the house wondering if we’ll get this mess sorted in time for Xmas. There’s a slight feeling of freedom in our lives as, with DD now on maternity leave, we currently have no school pickups/evening childcare to do so we can visit at our leisure. Hope everyone has a reasonable day.

Good Morning everyone.

Wet and cloudy on Severnside.

Housework, pottering and a climb into the loft is on the cards today.

Thinking of you all and guessing gilly had a great time with her granddaughter and that her DH is continuing to make progress ?

Morning All

It's hammering it down here in Norfolk. Windy squalls and rain dripping onto the plastic window sills kept waking me. I think our water table is back to the full level now.

My lovely reflexology lady is coming early this morning so I shall be wafting around on a relaxed cloud the rest of the day.

Strengthening vibes as always to Gilly.

Good Morning Mick, DoraMarr & all to follow from dark, wet Nottingham. Work today, DD will call by & give me a lift in, academics are on strike at Nottm uni where she works, y’day they were stepping out as cars drove through the entrance waving leaflets in front of car windscreens!
Thoughts are with Gillybob & her DH, hope you had a lovely day with your DG.
Hope all not well, struggling or have worries have a better day.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning to you.
The cat wanted to go out at 4.30! It was raining quite heavily then in Essex.
Dry now but expecting more rain later. This could be a quiet day in with the ironing and a good film for me.
It would be nice to have an empty laundry basket for a change ?
Living the dream ?

Good morning Micheal from me in Birmingham, where it is dry and quite mild. I’ve been awake for ages- I don’t know why. I’m going to have a walk in the park this morning, then I will go to my U3A architecture group this afternoon.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning Everyone,
I yet again wake up to dark sky and wet conditions here in Brackley this morning.
Today , brief trip into Brackley to check at a branded opticians to see if they do gift cards, a call into WHS and buy some Xmas stamps, then maybe browse at some DVDs before bus home ,and a quiet day in.
Mick
