Good Morning Tuesday 25th April 2022

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny ? Essex by the sea.
Lots of indoor 'bits' to do this morning plus a visit to the local shop for milk.
Fencing company are coming to give us a new quote for one side of our car park. A neighbour took the old Fencing down yesterday and cut back all the shrubbery behind it. What a good job he has done ✔.
Happy Birthday to LLF, safe journey to OD and I hope you get your appointment Gingster , what a star you are .
Have a terrific Tuesday everyone xx

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 5° and grey looking skies. Happy birthday Ladyleftfieldlover. Have a lovely day. Marydoll enjoy your break away. The East Neuk is so lovely with its wee fishing villages.
Yesterday was busier than expected as dgs1 wanted to come to my house after nursery. So we had four hours of playing. He was such fun after he's eaten. He is not fun when he's hungry. The usual trains were out. And dinosaurs of course. He did some drawing too. My slow cooker chicken worked out.
Today I have two social events. I'm meeting friends for an early lunch then later on I'm meeting other friends at our local town hall to see 'Hello Dolly'. It's not my favourite musical but it'll be nice to go out. I'm a bit anxious about it though. Whatever you are doing, have a good day all.

Oh Marydoll The East Neuk of Fife is so beautiful you don’t need to gad about! Just drink it all in, the scenery is beautiful.

Happy birthday LLFL. Have a lovely day.
Hope your DH's needle biopsy goes smoothly GM.
We are still in Portugal but have left our sons house and are now staying in a hotel by the sea. Weather has picked up too. Hopefully will be good for you Pittcity ( not sure I have the name right there!)

Good Morning everyone from a very sunny and clear south coast. We've still got the sneaky cool wind though and desperately need some rain. Everything in the garden is in need of a good soak.

Our window cleaner texted to say he is due today. He last came the day before we got the Saharan dust blowing in and covering the windows, car etc. so hope there is no repeat of that tomorrow!

I still haven't sorted my wardrobes out as my energy levels were very low yesterday and I kept falling asleep.

Always thinking of Mattie and her DH and hope they have a better day than expected. Also Marydoll off on her hols! Hope you have a great time.

Wishing everyone a good day whatever is in store and wherever they are going.

Good Morning Mick it will be nice for you to watch places where you have cycled in the past. You will know first hand how hard it is!
Well it’s cold but the sun is coming up in Oxfordshire.
Happy Birthday LFL?
? to you too GrannySomerset
Really, so many of you deserve flowers ??
Phase 2 of operation Spring Clean today, the dreaded Kitchen cupboards….. made some ginger snaps for MrOops who said they weren’t very Gingery, not sure why, but maybe the clue was in the sell by date on the Ginger- 2011, which is odd as I remember buying it and it seemed very recent to me !
Anyway, shifted all the furniture in the sitting room yesterday and cleaned and sorted and cleaned the Conservatory, can’t move the furniture in the dining room, so that was an easy one.
Lots more to do, just as well I can keep busy since having Covid I can’t drink wine or my usual G &T, makes me so ill…….?
Have a good day everyone and hugs to those with cares and worries.

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny but chilly south coast.

I will also be planting up baskets and pots today. I’ve upcycled some large plastic pots that were left behind by the previous owner so now they need filling!!

Hope everyone has a trouble free day.

Good morning all from an overcast Black country.
Early wake up call from the bin men 1st at 6.40am just dropped back off to sleep and the 2nd lot arrived, DH doesn't hear a thing.
Glad your face to face with cardio went well Ash and a safe journey for your DH.
We're going to the designer outlet today to see if I can find things that I don't really need for my holiday, I do enjoy a good spend.
Happy birthday LLFL??.
By the time I've written this many more of you will have posted so best wishes anyone else celebrating, safe travels and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from an overcast NE
Disturbed night, always the same when I set the alarm.
Hairdresser coming at 9am, I am first after the school run but it means I have the whole day ahead.
DD on the train to London this morning and then Eurostar at lunchtime, she will be in Brussels in time to shop for her evening meal.
Happy Birthday LLFL
Have a restorative break Marydoll
Thoughts are with * Mr gM* for his procedure, not a pleasant thing g to endure.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Podiatry and food shopping this morning then hopefully a quiet afternoon.We are back to childcare tomorrow after a few weeks off for the school holidays.I think the 4.45 alarm is going to be a shock tomorrow?

I hope your day goes smoothly grandmattie and isn’t too tiring for your DH.

Enjoy your holidays all who are away.

Have the best day you can everyone??

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another dry day. We had a few spots of rain yesterday but still need to water the garden.
Tuesday is charity shop volunteering. A day of chatter and a bit of work.

Happy Birthday LLFL and love to all ? x

Good morning from a cloudy South Yorkshire. Not much to report from here today. Hopefully catch up with some jobs. We enjoyed yesterday's walkies and then childminding followed by some more walking. I should be very fit ? but I'm not ?
Happy birthday ladyleftfieldlover
Have a good day all xx

Good morning all.

On Sunday my DGS2 had his 1st birthday party. The weather was lovely so all the relatives were able to sit outside. We had him for the day yesterday as it’s DD2’s first day back at work after a long maternity leave.

Unfortunately, his sister aged 3 wasn’t feeling very well after contracting food poisoning from a small snack pack of cocktail sausages on Friday purchased from the café at a country park. She’d said they tasted funny.

We have booked a Saga cruise for August. It will be our first holiday for over 3 years as everything got cancelled in 2020 and we felt too nervous last year to go on holiday.

Next weekend we are going to the Cheltenham jazz festival. Life is starting to feel a bit more normal.

Reading about rowdy passengers from Urms and Granmaretto reminded me of a holiday we had in Na Trang in Vietnam about 7 years ago. There were direct flights between there and Moscow. When we were leaving we saw the Russians queuing up at the departure gate and most of them were swigging from full size bottles of vodka.

IFA round at 12pm and then babysitting this evening. Following GP online appointment yesterday pm I’ve been put on medication for high BP. I was told a big increase has been seen after 2 years of restrictions and now Putin.

Thinking of all those with illness and anxiety, especially GM. ? Have a good day all.

Good morning from a bright but chilly N.Bucks.
Happy Birthday LLFL
Happy holidays Mary and all others celebrating or having a break.
Up and ready for arrival of smallest Grandson. A morning of playing, swings and an aching back. He loves to walk but hasn’t quite got the courage to do it by himself.
This afternoon will be preparation for tomorrow’s craft club and I suppose I should tackle a bit of ironing.
Wishing all a smile or two in you day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a dull and overcast Black Country.

The dreaded Covid has now appeared in the house, after avoiding it all this time. MrJ after feeling under the weather did a test last night and it was positive. I have just done one and it was negative. I was supposed to be going over to Mums today, but it is probably wise that I don't, as she is 92.

So, no plans today, there is ironing awaiting for me though

Enjoy your break Marydoll I google it, it looks gorgeous!

Happy Birthday Ladyleftfieldlover I hope you have a wonderful day.

What a bonny grandson you have there glammagran a real cutie. ?

Oops my mum is notorious for having stuff in her cupboard years out of date. We always check the date before we eat anything.

NannyJan hope your husband recovers swiftly and if you pick it up from him you are ok? It’s just unavoidable now.

Good morning from the Sefton coast.
Oh, I do enjoy an Anne Tyler novel, Urms.
Happy Birthday LLFL.
Swimming and Tai Chi for me today followed by a Sainsbury’s click and collect.
Sending best wishes to all and a warm hug and a ?to grandMattie and her DH.

Good morning from East Yorkshire it’s a cloudy sky but the sun is trying it’s hardest to break through. I’m up late after a disturbed night.

My usual coffee morning today. A quiet afternoon before back to routine of picking GS up from school. I have him alone as DH isn’t home until about 7. I have some bananas going soft so I think we will make banana cake. He loves to do baking and eating the results of course.

Happy Birthday Leftfieldlover ??

Oo that tea sounds delicious Shazza what time shall I pop round ??

Hope you enjoy your break away Marydoll very welcome I’m sure.

What a gorgeous little boy Glammagran

Hope today goes as well as it can GM ?

Take care everyone

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s cloudy in my corner of Lancashire, currently 9°C.

Happy Birthday Ladyleftfieldlover.

Safe journey to your DH Ashcombe, glad your cardio appointment went well.

Enjoy your break Marydoll.

A quiet day for me again today, I have a zoom meeting after lunch and need to send a couple of birthday cards.

Thinking of all our grans going through difficult times.

Wishing everyone the best day possible ???

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton. Looks good for our health walk this afternoon; will be good to be in company and have a natter.

Before then must get myself showered and dressed, tidy up the kitchen etc. No dinner to prepare for tonight as the chicken soup I made yesterday will do another meal.

Gardening didn't happen yesterday as it was raining when I went out to make a start, so stayed in and browsed the internet read instead. Will have to wait for another day.

Happy birthday ? Ladyleftfieldlover. May the sun shine on you today.

Urmston should love to join your LWW!

Marydoll enjoy your stay away.

And may the sun shine on everyone today!

Good Morning Mick and everyone from sunny, very dry Carlisle where it is inevitable that the hose will have to come out again today. I visited the garden centre yesterday but confined myself to buying little pots of alpines.
Today, a bit of housework and some admin before doing that watering and planting the alpines.

Happy birthday LLFL and happy holidays to you Marydoll and to everyone enjoying one.
Glammagran..that is a fine looking young man!
And welcome TheodoraP..hope retirement isn't too far off.
And my thoughts are with you both grandMattie, hoping the day goes as well as possible.

Good morning from a dry and brightish Dunblane where the daffodils are just starting to get past their best. Always a bit later here. A day of housework is on the cards but maybe a walk in the afternoon. Managed to donate my mum’s 1940’s fur coat to a charity shop yesterday so many will not take them nowadays. I had found it difficult to part with it although I would never have worn it. It was so heavy as well. Hope everyone manages a smile at some point today.

You would be very welcome BlueSapphire we can budge up.
