Good Morning Mick and all from a dark and dry S Welsh coast.
Stayed in yesterday so we will go out later for a walk by the sea.
Hope your GD will feel better soon Marydoll and you take care too.
Have a good day everyone and best wishes to those feeling unwell or with worries.

Good morning from a dark, damp Colchester. If we did have wind last night I slept through it.
Coffee meetup in town this morning. There will be puddles to negotiate on the walk in as our roads and pavements are in bad repair.

Good morning all from a very dark Glasgow, it’s 7C, but I'm unsure what the weather is like.
I'm glad you enjoyed your day out. Mick.
A change of plan for me today. DGD was very sick yesterday afternoon when we were looking after her and she looked a peculiar shade of grey! She had a nosebleed in the morning at nursery and her croup has re-appeared, so no nursery for her today, just in case there is a repeat performance.

This puts me in a very awkward position, as I promised to take my SIL to lunch for her birthday today, but DGD will be coming here instead of nursery.
SIL was very low and anxious when she visited yesterday, she is finding life very difficult at the moment, after her bereavement .
I don’t want to let her down, but I'm feeling a bit ropey too, and I can’t expect DH to cope on his own if the wee one is very unwell.
Oh dear! sad.

Thinking of everyone, who is poorly and hoping you all have a good day.

Good Morning from what looks like a drying up Severnside.

It’s green waste bin this week so I’d like to try and get outside to put something in it.

Gilly would your son talk to his doctor about ‘Books on Prescription’ and have one on anxiety maybe?

Let’s hope for a good day for all ?

Morning all from a dry but cold Spain where I’m hoping it will brighten later as we’re off to a market then lunch at a *Michelin restaurant - not something we often do but nice as a little treat once or twice a year!

So many folks here with the coughs etc so hope you’re all on the mend back home and at least have some sunshine after all that ‘weather’! I also noticed the days are longer Ginny42 so something to look forward to!

Good Morning all it is very dark still here in East Staffordshire. I have to go to the shop at 7 to get bread so I can make sandwiches for lunch.

I have another cold, the third or fourth in two months. I feel less like going to the factory than ‘flying the air’ as my Nan used to say. But if I don’t go no one else will do the work for me and we have customers waiting for their labels!!!

I babysat for my DD and SiL as they went to the running club for the first time, I hope it continues (we are very much a running family, always have been) my DD was actually County Champion from age 7 - 12 then she just gave up?

I do hope all of you have the very best day possible, I do think we are in for a bit of sunshine today and less wind, a good chance to get out in the fresh air and clear the mind?

Good Morning from another dark and damp Black Country.

Off to Mums later with a load of washing (our new machine should be delivered by weekend). Brother and SIL will be over for lunch, so it will be good to see them.

Beforehand I need to go over to DD's to let dog out, as SIL is in Hospital again! Was sent yesterday by Doctor, but his time with abdominal pains. They have mentioned Diverticulitis and has been kept in overnight on a drip. He had just got over his last episode in Hospital, and had been given the ok to drive again.

I am in Birmingham tomorrow DoraMarr, meeting friends for coffee, then meeting partner and his brothers and their wives about 5pm for a meal. I will have to hang around for a couple of hours between, and hoping I can avoid spending any money smile

Wishing you all a good day, especially gilly, Marydoll and anyone with worries or health issues.

Goodmorning all, just back from dog walk. Very wet underfoot. Norfolk rocked and rolled in the wind last night but is now in my little corner is very still almost creepy. Another day of mopping up, son in law coming later with mini digger to enlarge the bottom ditch to improve drainage. It's handy having a builder in the family. Hope all who are under the weather soon feel better. Have a good day everyone

Good morning from east London, where it’s been wet,wet,wet with the wind still rattling around. Off to Chichester today to drop DS back at uni so I’m hoping Brendan will have blown away before we travel. DS did ask me to wake him when I got up but I’d better wait a couple of hours as I don’t think he meant this early. Have a good day.

Good morning Micheal and everyone. Dark here in Birmingham, and dry so far. We seem to have missed the worst of storm Brendan, although I know my family in East Anglia have not been so lucky. I’m up a little earlier today, woken by the dustmen. I’m meeting a friend this morning, then it’s Architecture group this afternoon. I went shopping with my eldest daughter and the baby yesterday for her to choose something breast feeding friendly for a special event, and managed to NOT buy anything for myself, except for three bars of soap and a pencil sharpener. (There was, however, a parcel waiting for me later.)
I hope all with health worries, for themselves or those close to them, have a better day today.

Good morning Mick. Glad your day turned out well yesterday. I was a hermit yesterday and had to cancel things as I felt more unwell as the day progressed. It seems to have gone this morning.

It's a clear sky here in Cheshire and a sunny day is forecast. I shall catch up with my jobs and shopping today. I will treat myself to lunch out as I missed the supper club meal last night.

Get well wishes to all feeling under the weather or caring for someone who is sick. Spring is coming! I noticed the longer day yesterday.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark as usual here in Brackley this morning, but the wind has dropped a little.
Yesterdays day out , I went to the bus stop to early and caught the direct bus to Bicester which had started the previous day as a bus service , I was one of two passengers all the way.
But I did bide my time in Bicester ,and returned the way I have done for the last 3 years ,and seeing people that I have got to know as well made my day .
Mick
