Good Morning Everyone,
dark outside this morning, but with fog and ground frost here in Brackley.
Went to Northampton yesterday on the bus, which took me through some the county's villages to the south east of the county town.
Today my Buckingham and Bicester bus trips.
I enjoy this journey as I have got to talk to others on the bus very sociable.
Mick

Good morning from the Shropshire borders where it’s a frosty start.
We are expecting a parcel today.just had an email from Hermes to say they will be delivering?they don’t have the best reputation in this area so hopefully it arrives??
Collecting DGD from school later and then her usual Thursday sleepover.We have just put the finishing touches to her bedroom,Frozen theme,so she will be very excited to see it.
QuaintIrene,what a terrible thing to happen.
Wishing your husband all the best pantglas and hope your appointment goes well dragonfly.
Thinking of gilly and all with illness and worries.

Good morning Tai you’ve come to the right thread to start your contributions to GN. Welcome ?

Marydoll Thu 06-Feb-20 08:14:45

Taichinan, welcome, it's so nice to see new faces on here. smile

Good morning all,
It's very bright and frosty here this morning.
Pilates class later then must put some fuel in the car when I get back.
Hope today is kind to everyone.

Good morning Mick and everybody. I'm new to posting on here, though I've been following you all for a while. Lovely cold but sunny morning here in Angus with a lovely pink sky out over the sea. Scentia, you're not old - my two little boys are 51 and 52, and their baby sister is 46! 78 years young I am, and off to tai chi classes this morning. I hope all goes well for those who are poorly ? and have a good day everybody.

Marydoll Thu 06-Feb-20 08:11:07

Chewy, so lovely to see you posting on here!

Beechnut Thu 06-Feb-20 08:10:15

QuaintIrene I can’t believe you forgot I was eating tarts ??

Chewbacca Thu 06-Feb-20 08:09:51

Good morning everyone from a very cold and frosty Cheshire. Like Marydoll, a rotten night's sleep last night so will do as little as I can get away with today, once I've got the grandchildren off to school!

Marydoll Thu 06-Feb-20 08:09:26

It wasn't the other team who used to hit us round the ankles with a hockey stick, it was our scary PE teacher, she terrified the life out of me!
Changed days!

Marydoll Thu 06-Feb-20 08:06:24

Good morning all from a cold Glasgow, but no frost thank goodness.

I have had a terrible night's sleep, I can't remember what I was dreaming about, but I do know that Donald Trump featured in my unsettling dreams! I have been watching too many news programmes. grin.

A day in for me, we had a lovely day out in Glasgow yesterday, with a delicious lunch, but paying the price for it today.
Don't tell Maw, but I picked up a pair of Sketcher's pink, ankle boots, vastly reduced in the sale! It was DH's fault, the man who never shops dragged me into the Sketchers' shop to look at trainers. grin

DH is planning to prune the trees and I shall need to supervise, just in case he falls off the ladder! ? I cannot convince him that he is too old to start a career as as a tree surgeon. sad. My heart is in my mouth, every time he goes up that ladder.

I hope all goes well for your appointment today Dragonfly and best wishes to your husband, Pantglas.
Always thinking of the Gillybobs. flowers and hugs for those who need them.

I was a netball girl - shooter!
Hated hockey the other team used to hit me round the ankles with their sticks!

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. We went to the 02 yesterday evening to see the Young Voices choir. 8.800 children from the south of England. Very uplifting and LOUD. Step granddaughter was singing with her school. I'm staying in today waiting for a delivery and off to the Midlands tomorrow to stay with DD1 for a week. Have a very pleasant day everyone.

QuaintIrene Thu 06-Feb-20 07:59:38

Just had a thought. Will make a note of who to especially mention, then I won’t feel like such a chump.

Alygran Thu 06-Feb-20 07:59:07

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s frosty and from the kitchen window I can see that the sun has just popped over the horizon.
Meeting a friend today to go walking. Trying to make the most of this lovely spell of weather.
Hope the op goes ok Pantglas and your oncologist appointment Dragonfly.
Hope today is kind to everyone.

Lins1066 Thu 06-Feb-20 07:54:08

I'm too short for netball too Nannytopsy ?

QuaintIrene Thu 06-Feb-20 07:53:51

Good morning everyone. West Yorkshire is grey and cold.
Little cat is still with us. Eaten well yesterday and this morning. She isn’t right, though. Not Ill as such. Just very old. Big cat has been very kind to her, despite them never getting along.
There was a car crash outside my house last night. A car was being chased by police for 15 minutes, through the hospital grounds, across busy roads until it ended when they went into a building next door to the pub. According to my neighbour 2 young lads killed. The police knocked on my door but I must’ve been in the shower when it happened. Didn’t hear a thing. They have just opened the road. Terrible night.
I hope everything goes well today for those with plans and appointments. I can’t remember who you are and I can’t see you upwards on this screen. Thinking about you, though!
Mick I do remember.
Here’s hoping poorly folks have a better day.
Take care ?

Goodmorning all from a cold and very frosty norfolk. Market day in nearby town today so a wander with our guests then lunch at the garden centre. Our friends are very good company and DH is enjoying having someone to "vet talk" with. Hope all goes well PANTGLAS and DRAGONFLY have a good day everyone.

Brunette10 Thu 06-Feb-20 07:48:19

Good Morning all from a dry Fife, although there is a bit of frost I fear. Never mind just get on with things. No plans yet for today although I hear a visit to the shops beckoning. Feel like some retail therapy. Well that's the hair back to short again and feel much better, shame I didn't achieve the short bob I wanted but never mind be content with what I have. Thinking of all those with anxieties and I hope you are fit for the chemo too Dragonfly. Keep your chin up - have good day everyone and take care.

Nannytopsy Thu 06-Feb-20 07:46:19

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
I was a hockey girl too Lins - I’m too short for netball!
Best wishes to DH Pantglas for his op.
It is a beautiful morning here in Suffolk but with a heavy frost. It’s the village “cafe” this morning in the village hall. DH refuses to come but I enjoy the chat.
Hope the day is kind to you all.

cornergran Thu 06-Feb-20 07:45:52

Morning Mick, morning All from a clear, frosty corner of Somerset. Hope for a walk today, stamina needs building. Best wishes to your husband pantglas. Hope all goes well dragonfly and Thursday is kind to everyone.

Mythbirtthedragon Thu 06-Feb-20 07:43:16

Good morning from east London, ground frost on the field outside, sky looks nice and clear. Foodbank is closed this week as the hall we use is being redecorated so I’m off to tennis this morning. Full choir this evening, so need to refresh my recollection of the new songs having missed last week. Last night was old songs so that’s a different memory dredge. Hope you have a good day.

Lins1066 Thu 06-Feb-20 07:35:12

Good Morning Mick and all.
Just peeped out and the sky is clear here on the S Welsh coast and the sunrise is beautiful, a lovely pink glow.

DH managed to get an appointment with the GP yesterday morning, he was given more antibiotics but is slowly getting better. Our cleaner is coming this morning, she hasn't been for two weeks, she injured her ankle in Mum's netball. I was a hockey girl, many moons ago.
Best wishes to your DH Pantglas and to dragonfly hope all goes well for both.
Hope everyone will have a good day.

kittylester Thu 06-Feb-20 07:34:22

Morning all from a chilly North Leicestershire.

Butcher's, Sainsbury's this morning and brewcupcake with a friend this afternoon.

Good wishes to everyone who needs them.

Good Morning everyone from a still dark Scottish Borders.
Waiting in for the plumber to plumb in my new tiny "kitchen"
I am trying to create a bedsit in my guest/spare room. The water will be off later today because of roadworks.

Eye test today and housework/catching up.

Your bus trip around the villages sounds lovely Mick
Have fun NannyJ
I hope you are fit for the chemo too Dragonfly
That's great that at last your DH will get his op pantglas

Sunshine for everyone sunshine
