Good Morning Sunday October 23rd 2022

Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Black country, dark and dry here as well.
Early start DH last fishing contest of the season.
Glad your weight is slowly increasing hopefully your treatment can soon be sorted.
Roast beef for dinner.
Will come back later to catch up with everybody's news.
Enjoy your Sunday and may you all find some ?.

Good news Mick.
Good morning from a very very wet Oxfordshire, the rain woke me up at 5.30 a real Tropical downpour, hope it stops soon as Mz and MasterOops are coming up from Cornwall and it will be a terrible drive for them.

Apart from preparing beds, hoovering and cleaning and fixing a roast for this afternoon, I have a free day.

Hope we see some sunshine today, it’s still very dark here. Hugs to all those who aren’t so chipper today.

Morning all from a dark and damp West Oxfordshire. I’ll be in bed for at least another couple of hours! A quiet day today. Reading the papers (what is going on with politics in this country?) and cooking dinner - Diane Henry’s recipe for pot roasted chicken in milk, lemon and garlic. Son and his family are probably coming for a day or two next week as it’s half term. So I’ll be planning menus etc. Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning everyone from a still dark Northampton. Not raining at the moment, but heavy showers forecast.

Up early as I am off on a day trip - to Staffs for a steam train ride and Sunday lunch on board. A friend who lives nearby is also going and we have arranged to share a taxi to the coach pick-up point.

Enjoyed the film 'Emily' yesterday, but very intense - it was an imagined account of her life before she wrote Wuthering Heights, and what influenced the book. I realised I had never read it, so have downloaded it onto my Kindle.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Mick. Take care on your days out. Enjoy your steak!

Hope Sunday is pleasant for all.

Good morning from E Kent.
I’m glad you’re already feeling better, Mick; I hope the same can be said of Marydoll after her day in bed.
DL had a (male) friend visit and he took her to see the flat she wants to buy. It was the first time she’s been out since her amputation. We don’t have a ramp yet and, although I will help, I am very firm that if she wants to go out it isn’t me taking her.
Feeling a bit tired after flu jab yesterday.
Quiet today, unless DL has more of her million friends visit/text/telephone….
Carpe diem ???

good morning from a horribly wet s somerset. Thunderstorms and torrential rain. Pressure reading has plummeted on my weather station

Days like this I hop from meal to meal so I need to find something engrossing to do. Sewing later but first a pull -out larder cupboard to sort. Otherwise a pottering at home day

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull. Rain is forecast all day.
It’s good to hear your weight is creeping up and your energy levels are improving Mick.

I’m awake early as I have a proper little cutie GD1 laid next to me she is having milk and watching tv in bed. Gosh she tosses and turns she can’t keep still in sleep. I pulled my heavy weighted blanket over her and she slept very soundly after that and I got some sleep.
We are taking her to Smyths toys so she can choose her birthday present which is tomorrow she’d like a marble run. I’m sure there will be other treasures she’ll spot while there. Then to McDonald’s. I will be needing a nap later after taking her home. DH is enjoying a lovely night sleep in the spare room downstairs.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone of family and friend gatherings and delicious Sunday lunches. Virtual hugs to those suffering family stress and illness??

Good morning all from the airport lounge.

Just had a hectic breakfast with the little ones! Who said this was a good idea. We will be fine once we’re there. Will be boarding in about half an hour and then off to the heat of Ibiza.
Shazza don’t forget your purse today ?
Take care everyone.

Have a great time together in Ibiza Grandmadinosaur. X

Good morning all from a stormy S Hampshire. That’s all good news Mick pleased to hear it.
What a snuggly start to the day Shazza.
Have a lovely holiday Grandmadinosaur sun and warmth is certainly tempting, go easy in those clubs!
Can’t you declare a day of rest gMattie? Sunday seems appropriate.
Not a clue what we’re doing today, if this weather continues it won’t be a lot.
Enjoy your day all ??

Good morning from a dark and very rainy Black Country.

Great weekend so far, the gig at Symphony Hall was brilliant, then we popped into a pub after where there was Karaoke.

Stayed overnight, then a lovely meet up with some of the family yesterday for lunch. Niece is now 31! We left around 4pm. Still looking forward to seeing Brother and SIL's new house, they are busy re-decorating and waiting for new furniture for guests to sit on.

MrJ drove down to Bristol yesterday to help his DD move. He will be back later today, so I have an empty!

Zumba this morning at the gym, need to get back into it after our holiday.

Enjoy your holiday in Ibiza Grandmadinosaur at least you are escaping the cold and wet here!

Happy Sunday everyone.

Good morning all from a dark and wet North Licestershire.

DD2 and co are coming for the day and staying overnight on their way to a half term break. It will be lovely to see them all.

Have the best day possible.

Good morning from a calm Torbay. A late start due to a disturbed night…..

Like karmalady, we've had an horrendous thunderstorm overnight, the worst I’ve experienced since moving in eight years ago. Vivid lightning and deafening thunder started just before 3.00 a.m. with rain so torrential that the road turned into a river!

I wonder if your family members in Cornwall were affected by it, Oopsadaisy.

I’ll stagger to church then perhaps to M & S to collect new (boring for surgery!) bras later.

Every blessing this Sunday. ??✝️??

Good morning from a very wet Wiltshire, I was awoken by thunder and lightning and I can hear the rain pelting down from my air bed. The DGSs are in my bed, I can hear them chatting; I’m very comfortable in my craft room with a coffee, the sleeping arrangements work very well! The boys enjoy watching tv in bed, a real treat for them ?, their parents get a lie in too.
A pub lunch is booked for today, so no cooking for me!
I hope it stops raining for DDog walk, wellies and raincoat ready!

Good morning all from a very wet and dark North Yorkshire. Thank you to all those GNs for yesterday’s congratulations. Have seen some lovely photos of the new arrivals and hoping to meet them in person today, GDs birthday party went well, chaotic and very noisy but we did it. Had a wonderful 9 hours sleep last night so feeling refreshed. I know exactly what you mean ShazzaKanazza, my GD is exactly the same when I’ve tried to sleep in her bed. She seems delighted with the news but will be interesting to see how she copes in reality as bound to get a lot less attention. Hope everyone has the best day they are able to.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it's 12°.
Glad to hear you are feeling better, Mick.

I've had a bad night and am still feeling grim. I even did a Covid test yesterday, just in case.
My heart issues seem to be the cause, leaving me light headed and nauseous.
Unfortunately, I can do nothing, but rest (fat chance ?) and hope it settles down. Unfortunately, there is no available treatment, nor intervention for me.

A day of reading the papers, I think. GM, follow my example (?) and indulge yourself, you deserve it!

So many of you with plans today, enjoy!
Bluesapphire, I am green with envy! ? I love steam trains.Safe journey to Grandmadinosaur!
Going to Ibiza

Wishing you all the best of Sundays.

Morning Mick, morning All from a very wet corner of Somerset.

Torrential rain and steam train sounding winds woke us around 3.30, no thunder fortunately. It looks calmer now. Didn’t get to the curtains yesterday, an afternoon of phone calls. Today is the day .

Those snuggly mornings are magic. Ours are long past, our Littlest is a huge 7 year old with elbows like razors and is no longer snuggly. Must get organised as he’s here for the day with his parents tomorrow, looking forward to that.

Grandmattie, hope today is quieter, perhaps declare your kitchen closed on Sundays. You do sound more energised, mick, enjoy the steak. A family day sounds just what the doctor ordered kitty, don’t overdo it, please. Hope you feel stronger today matydoll and you did rest yesterday. Safe trip grandmad and all travellers.

Take care everyone. Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where at last the grey misty weather seems to have changed and it’s looking a bit brighter
Enjoy your holiday with the family grandmadinosaur sounds lovely
Quite a busy day planned of housework, cleaning and menu planning getting ready for our visitors next week.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Crossed posts marydoll, please rest.

Good morning everyone it’s good to be back with all the silly bickering behind me. Forgive and forget is my motto for the day. Well it’s absolutely peeing rain here today no gardening will be getting done himself has a sore back which will get better says the oncologist. The cancer has all but gone wear and tear on the spine though.
Keep going all my good friends tomorrows another day.

Good morning all. We have had a few flashes of lightening and some thunder in N. Bucks.
Trying to find the enthusiasm to go into town. I need a few thing for an upcoming holiday and some craft items. Otherwise no particular plans today.
Hope Sunday is a good one for all.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a foggy, damp South Yorkshire. Glad you’re feeling better Mick but don’t overdo it. DH and DiL are coming down today in his new motor. I gave them the option of taking a rain check as the weather is forecast to be seriously awful here later on. We plan to go out to lunch but we’ll see what the weather is doing. - I have a fall back position.
Sorry you’re still feeling poorly Mary. I hope things improve as the day goes on?
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from Colchester where the sky is leaden. There's been overnight rain and the thunderstorm is supposed to be heading our way. 18° is forecast for later.
I will play with my new washer dryer and have a quiet Sunday. Roast Pork later.
Love to all ? x

Morning Mick and all

It’s raining heavily with thunder and occasional lightening here in S E Essex.

I was awake at 5am, couldn’t get back to sleep until gone 7am when I had a horrible dream that we were being invaded by aliens …

No plans, other than roast chicken this evening.

Safe travels to our galavanting grannies, and sending healing vibes to our poorly ones.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday?‍♀️?
