Good Morning Monday

Good morning all. Back to work today as new term starts I’ll be fine when I’m there had nearly two weeks off which is unusual for me. Had lovely afternoon tea yesterday at Lumley castle was great but lots of steps up to the restaurant! Reminded me to get fitter this year! Have a good Monday all!

Good morning all
Not checked the weather yet here in Stockport, I just know it was very dark when I woke up.
Just had two cups of tea and about to get my breakfast.
Poor Gilly if I could make things better I really would, sending helpful vibes through the ether.
As usual a day at home, my hip is getting worse by the day, I just hope the date of February to get it replaced comes good.
Have as good a day as you can everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

gillybob thinking of you

Good morning Mick and all x

Grey and damp here in SE Essex.

Mr.Gravy has just taken GS to school as DD is still in hospital with new baby GS, hopefully home later today.

Taking the decorating down, bed changing and the off to the gym.

Wishing you all a marvellous Monday

Well good morning from the North East coast.

This is the day I have been dreading for so long ......

Back to “that god forsaken place” (proper) and having to face reality. Irate customers whose jobs we cannot finish, a call to the accountant and worse. Leaving DH alone at home (when he’s not well) and the dreaded orthodontist later .

Could life get any better ?

Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Love Gillybob x

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s cloudy and dull today.
Today is the start of my latest fitness regime! I am going out for a walk this morning. I haven’t done my daily 10000 steps for two weeks.
Have laundry on, bed to make up and some business calls to make for the charity I volunteer with.
Hope you get sorted at the dentist Gilly. Good wishes to all on the sick list.
Hope Monday is kind to you all.

Good morning from a wind blasted Aberdeenshire where the sky has turned purple!

Had a great romp in the woodies yesterday where the mutt met the love of his life, Pixie. She is pure shitzu and he is partly one...they trot along like an old, married couple until they spot a squirrel then they're off, but haven't a hope of catching one!

Shall take the rest of the day as it comes, probably rescuing stuff that has blown round the garden.

Have a good day everyone, especially those in sick bay.

Good morning from Malta where it is cold but sunny. I’ve just been outside waiting to catch the gas man ( we have no natural gas here so use bottled gas for our heaters and cookers) and I’m frozen!

Sorry I haven’t had time to read all posts as I’m going out and later have an appointment for my dog at the vet. Always a bit of a nightmare taking him so I’m already in a tizz at the thought of it!

Hope all of you who are poorly will soon be feeling better and that Gilly’s toothache will be sorted. Can’t believe how long she has been suffering, poor lass.

Best wishes to all.

Morning Mick and all. Very lazy start to what will be a busy day today. The sky is looking grim here in Cheshire, but the robin was singing his little heart out in the garden earlier so that cheered me up instantly.

Yesterday my DD and GS flew home, so it was difficult to stay cheerful. I got all the decorations down and packed to go in the loft with the help of my neighbour's son later.

I'm awaiting delivery of a ramp for my friend's home so that she can leave the care home later in the week. I have to go and practise fitting it and hopefully it is the right one for her front step. Whilst there will check on the food situation and plan a shopping trip to prepare for her return home later in the week.

I've been absent from the thread for a few days and was shocked to see Gilly still suffering with that tooth. Hope it's sorted today Gilly. Sorry to see so many struggling on the sick list at the moment, but hope you're all on the mend soon.

Good Morning All , dark and blowing a Hooley here too Marydoll , I hope your appointment goes well
Thinking of Gillybob and hoping the dentist can sort your tooth
Supposed to be doing grocery shopping today

Good morning everyone. It’s cloudy but still dry in Birmingham. I’ve overslept, which is annoying because I need to spruce up my apartment before our Italian lesson at 10. We’re learning vocabulary about the kitchen today and describing our favourite kitchen implement. I had such a busy weekend that the dog ate my homework .
Christmas decorations will come down later- before sunset. It’s always quite sad to see them go, isn’t it?
Marydoll, I’m happy to be retired too- I still have dreams where I am in a strange classroom with no lessons and no resources!
I hope everyone with health problems has a productive day, and for everyone, have the best day possible.

GoodMorning Mick and all from a cloudy S Wales.
Didn't sleep well and I am aching this morning.
' Little Women' is a lovely story and one of my favourite books as a child, I wanted to be Jo.

Hope all who are ill feel better soon, * Marydoll, Cornergran and Gilly* in particular.

Still dark but looks dry here in Staffs. Back to keep fit/circuit class this morning then collecting DGD, 10, from home for the afty (Mum and Dad work from home). Might play Canasta with her. Then choir restarts tonight-Mozart’s Requiem. Put Christmas decs and lights away yesterday. Pleased to hear recommendation for Little Women

And GOOD LUCK Gilly!

Morning All

Dry, breezy and grey in my bit of Norfolk. Through the window the outside thermometer says its 6C and the wind vane says the wind is southerly. But I don’t believe either of them - it looks decidedly chilly.

DH hasn’t surfaced yet, so he doesn’t know of my plans to go to the cinema.

Good morning from east London, still quite dark here, cloudy and dry. Pleased this post is livelier than yesterday morning; got quite a shock when I wandered in and only Mick had posted, nice tho it is to see his words. Good trip to Chichester and back yesterday, except the drizzle started about 3 miles before we got there. Had to start clearing our bedroom when we got home as the carpet people are here this afternoon to fit the final carpet (yay!). Two hours of playing tennis at lunchtime which will prime me for relocating stuff back into the bedroom and putting away the (relatively few) Xmas decs we had out. (When SiL dropped in, she was very concerned at how few Xmas trees I’d put out; I have a selection of ornaments accumulated over the years. She seemed reassured that next Xmas, they will be back). Have the best day you can.

Good morning all from a very dark County Durham.

An early start today as we have 3 GC arriving to spend the day here ( no school until tomorrow) , so it will be a busy time ahead.

I wonder how many steps I'll record on my fitbit today?

Have a wonderful day everyone. X

Morning all dry and mild in Surrey
Will not mention the lurgy this morning getting boring!
Back to normal today taking DiL to work later.
We are having a short trip to Scotland on Thursday so must plan what to take.I have been to many placese in the world but never Scotland,looking forward to it, even the weather!

Have a good Monday everyone.

Morning all from my bit of North Leicestershire where there is rain in the forecast.

Thank you all for my birthday wishes yesterday. I hope j52 had a good birthday too.

I had a mixed day. We went on another furniture hunt but then DS2 came round with a lovely book and we had a take away.

Out for lunch today with old friends.

It's nice to be back in a routine of sorts.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Marydoll isn’t it great not to be going back? None of those panic moments of ‘I haven’t prepared for that lesson!’
Grey but dry and just getting light in Suffolk. Up early for the builders. Right, a quick shower first!
Hope all the coughs, colds and teeth improve.

Good morning from a dry dark Bristol. Two hungry DGC to feed this morning and look after all day. I hope you manage to get to see your doctor today Urmston and everyone else with ills feel a bit better.

Evening All; Relatively good news in that we've had 2 wet days in a row, but only 20mm all up depending where you live. N.E.Victoria is still burning with more very hot weather forecast this week. Here in Melb. we've had no fires, but whiffs of smoke now and then; bad news for asthmatics, of course
My friendly maggies are looking very bedraggled, but I imagine they'd much prefer wet feathers to singed.!
To think it was 42C last Monday! today, barely 20C
Have a nice day!

X posts Marydoll - thank you and I do hope your hospital appointment goes well for you this morning. You are having a tough time. x

Good morning all
Still dark but dry in Oxfordshire.
Bit of a sore throat and first day back to work so have slight Monday morning blues but NanKate you are so right and I need that kick too!
Toothache is horrible so hope all you poor sufferers are better soon.
Mommawolf...hope the bath goes well..really made me smile.
Have as good a Monday as possible every one
