Good Morning Friday 11th November 2022

Morning all from a still dark West Oxfordshire. It is the second week of my online V&A course on Interiors this morning. One lecture on French interiors and the other on Italian interiors. That will take up the whole morning. Then I really should start thinking about Christmas: check if I need any cards, make some present lists etc., maybe start planning a menu. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a mild and dry Torbay.

Thank you for your kind concern for DGS3, now recovering at home and obviously feeling better because he’s “eating, chatty and cheeky” again, according to my DS! Sometimes “cheeky” is very welcome!

I thought you folk would be as fascinated as I was by the soap flowers (pictured yesterday), which I received from the ex-partner of my DS, who also created a beautiful crocheted blanket for me on Mothering Sunday in 2020, which some of you might remember. Such a kind-hearted young woman.

Yesterday, the Practice Nurse who removed the last few stitches was most encouraging about my progress so far, which lifted us both. I was inspired to come home and make a snack of toast and pâté. I would never have expected how satisfying it would be to accomplish small tasks in recovery, within limitations!

Look after yourself, grandMattie, now it’s looking more hopeful of DL's moving. I’m a great believer in the “small garages”, karmalady. I believe they can stamp your service booklet, too, for records for future owners. An EU law, possibly.

Your GD’s show sounds wonderful, nanna8! I’ll bet you’ll be so proud of her. Good luck with the flat hunting, mumofmadboys.

Happy weekend, everyone! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning all. I also woke at 5 am and couldn't get back to sleep. My DH is away this weekend so I will have more time to myself than usual. May start writing a few Christmas cards. Since I retired I like to start early and do a few at a time. Makes the task so much more enjoyable. Our UA guests have been with us for 6 months now. We are busy trying to help them find a rental property in the area.It is difficult as the Lake District is expensive to rent. Hope everyone has the best day they can.

It’s been a wet day here in Melbourne but quite warm after a couple of ripper days with the sun shining all day. The garden was ready to be watered so it saved me the trouble. Off to a concert at my granddaughter’s school this evening. She is a dancer and has done the choreography for it and is very keen , lots of practice. She is normally very quiet but on stage- different girl.

Good morning all from very blustery South Lanarkshire.

I’ve been awake since 3.45, haven’t been able to drop off again and will be like a wet rag later at work.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from what appears to be a nice day ahead

The car is done, four jobs that the dealership said should be done, my first time ever not at the dealership and I was so pleased at the result, 1 mile from home and not a 36 mile round trip, no fancy waiting room, just a very good job at less than half the cost and walking distance to home

A bit of car paperwork sorting today, to keep my essentials file in good order and later I will be out in the air, one way or another

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a very windy Hull.
Up early due to needing to take my Grandson to school. My Son asked if I would take him today.
We aren’t having him after school so we are going to have a ride over to junction 32 to the outlet so DH can get some new fitness clothes. I’m sure I will be tempted while there. We really need to start Christmas shopping but are a bit clueless. We’ll get there. We always do in the end.

Wishing everyone a good day and hoping those with illness and worries have some respite today🌻🌻

Spa = Spanish

Good morning from an as yet dark E Kent.
I was still very tired yesterday and yawned through my spa class, we were only 4 as several students were away. We were doing reported speech. It is very complicated and I really didn’t get it. Fortunately, with the homework and a repeat lesson next week, I might “get” it.
DL has been worrying that the house purchase won’t happen on time and she would be homeless. I keep reassuring her. Anyway, everyone has signed all the paperwork, it is in the solicitors’ hands…. All is well.
My hairdresser seems to have gone AWOL so I need to find one today before I look like the witch of Endor. Short hair requires a lot more attention that longer.. not much else. Nice to be quiet for a bit.
Have a contends. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
