Good Morning Sunday

Love the room gilly.
I’m sorry your sister was vile to you?
I totally agree with you re the selfish people buying everything.My daughter was telling me her friend is unable to buy formula for her baby and there was an old couple in the supermarket buying the ready made up baby formula in case they can’t get milk?
#bekind didn’t last long.

Well done you Gillybob, that's a smashing job you've done and most little girls would love a bedroom like that. Evie will be delighted, bless her. x
Considering you have to do everything for everybody the way you've fitted this job in is nothing short of a miracle.
You need to look after yourself though and rest when you can---if you can to conserve energy for the forthcoming months ahead as none of us know what we're going to face, it's the unknown at the moment.

Welcome to our lovely Good Morning thread Doorstop . The doors are always opened early by our doorman Mick and everyone who comes through can be sure of a warm welcome and a kind listening ear .

Ooops crossed posts. Thank you too GrannyGravy

Hi, just joined Gransnet, hope you don’t mind me popping in occasionally! It’s lovely to read about what you are all getting up today.

Trying to get onto the thread about Isolating the over 70s for four months when I press on it I keep getting this and I’ve done it several times what’s going on?

Thank you conor . It really cheered me up doing it !

Welcome back GabriellaG . I’ve missed your fashion tips !

Gillybob love the room. Such a lucky granddaughter!! Thank you for sharing it with us as we need something cheerful right now xxx

Hello to GNers everywhere ??
My morning run went well and afterwards, had tea and freshly made croque monsieur (minus the ham) with one of the residents in Lower Town ?
Flying home tomorrow and I note on their website, that every precaution has been taken by the heli crew regarding hygiene standards. Anyway, it's only a short hop and my OH said he is driving down to save me getting the train back, a quite unexpected offer.
For now, I'm sanguine about the availabity of food and certain staples but I won't starve.
Worry does no good at all and won't alter a thing.
I think every conversation for the next several months, will be threaded with the C-19 situation. so I'm determined to look for positives.
I feel for everyone under the weather or anxious but also hope that you can somehow find some light relief in the days and weeks ahead.
Good wishes to all ??

Lovely room gillybob

Marydoll so sorry to hear that the wedding plans are constantly changing. Take care of your cough.

Thank you mancgirl and vena11

It’s such a sweet little room and she can now reach her little books herself which was the main brief from DD . She’s only 22 months but loves her books . Looking out for a nice rug just to finish it all off .

Good morning all it’s been blowing a hoollie here throughout the night in Fife I’m pleased to say the sun is shining we’re off to church in a wee while then on to a kfc that’s the programme for the day Everyone keep safe keep nice and cosy wear your warm clothes don’t let anyone come too close to you no smooching today.

The room looks great gillybob well done.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

gillybob what a lovely room you have created! She won't want to leave it. You really are a talented lady. You have so much on your plate and yet you find time do this, do your dad's shopping and go to "that place". I'm full of admiration. Hope you and Mr Gilly get on track soon. ?

Good morning everyone.
I think a brisk walk on the beach is in order today.

Good morning from the NE coast where it is very windy.

On a happy note I have finally finished Evie’s big girls room and just wanted to share a picture with you. She absolutely loves it

On a miserable note I just a had a nasty argument with my sister on the phone (at 9am on a Sunday morning ) . I can’t believe some of the things she said and I am so upset.

On another miserable note I am very worried about the future with the Coronavirus outbreak. I listened to 2 so called experts on the news last night both with conflicting views on how to stop the spread.

I managed to get my dad a fair bit of shopping on Friday which will see him okay for about a week but I didn’t get anything much for myself and there are no toilet rolls to be had anywhere. We only have a tiny freezer and probably have enough food to make 2 or 3 meals with at most.

Why are some people so damned selfish? I just don’t get it .

Thinking about you Urmstongran and anyone else scared or worried . What a world .

Good morning everyone for grey (sky) Swindon

mostly a very uplifting thread here.. Prayers for those who need them, well I tend to say we all need prayers, but you know what I mean

I think the media is winding this up, now for us to ignore a lot of it... I have been confined for 8 days, live alone, tummy bug,, clearing now... so I will not be confined for 4 months

Actually I am surprised that I survived it as I can panic at times..

so here`s to all of us here.. and thank goodness we can chat and share here.

Good morning all from a grey and blustery Norfolk. Off to Chapel shortly followed by a lazy afternoon knitting after lunch.

Hope all stay safe. It’s a worry but I believe the media (as usual)
Is scaremongering. Time to shut them down perhaps?

Good morning from a bright NE.
No plans for today. Maybe I should check cupboards and see if we need to buy some tins.
I have just suggested DH buys some long life milk then at least we can cups of tea.
I ordered a selection of books online so that we have reading matter but there is no sign of them arriving after a week.
My SIL made it back home to Brussels so at least DD is not on her own. She was going to travel to Germany for her uncle's 80th birthday in two weeks but she has cancelled.
Staying home does not worry me, I have been doing it for the last four years so no holiday cancellations here.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning raining here just adding to the gloom.
Marydoll its such a shame and I am feeling for you. urmston macgirl I hope you both are ok and manage to get home.
Dragonfly thinking of you and everyone else with worries it is going to really affect all our daily lives .
Everyone keep safe.

Morning all,
Just enjoying a quiet cup of tea. No plans for today, will likely stay put.
Had a restless night, waking at 4 am. Why does everything seem so much worse in the dark? I think I dozed a bit since then, but gave up at 9 and came down.
Anxious for DH, too, who works away through the week.
Thinking of you urmstongran and you, too, mancgirl.?
You are quite right, marydoll the party can be held at a later date, but nevertheless, it's all so disappointing after all the planning and preparations. ?
We were supposed to be going to a family wedding in Germany in May, but that's looking less likely by the minute. Everything is booked, but I don't see us getting there.
Hope you all have the best day you can and take care.

Well not much to say good morning about.My cousins cancelled their trip from Canada
My sister in law who was coming over from Australia to see elderly parents cancelled
Holiday to Dubai cancelled.And most important have a elderly Aunt with COPD making 2 half hour trips to see her daily she lives on her own
I suffer from asthma but can't just leave her

Morning all. Grey and drizzle in EKent. (Nearly wrote grizzly).
Feeling v. Angry at the idea of being imprisoned for 17 weeks for no better reason than we are over 70. I appreciate it is for our and other’s benefit, but....
Going to church in a mo. Wonder if these are to close, at a time when many, many people may find solace in them
Rant over.
Hope all those with problems and disappointments manage to overcome them. Smiles and hugs from me

Morning All

Well, it’s quite a nice morning here in the north of Norfolk. Sunshine with clouds, some dark, breezing over.

Yesterday Norfolk lost it’s title of Corona virus free county with three cases in Kings Lynn and one in Norwich - although the Norwich one was already in isolation.

Don’t tell my offspring but I have a couple of friends calling in for coffee this morning - but we’ll sit in the conservatory more than six feet apart.

I’m pleased to hear that Marydoll is staying in - hopefully that cough is just that - a cough.

Gilly and Dragonfly - I hope you’re both staying put too!
