Good Morning Tuesday 2nd January 2024

Good morning Mick and grandMattie from a dry north 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 coast where I suspect it’s the calm before the ☔️ and I have just filled my chamberpot ☕️ with good Yorkshire Gold!

A quiet morning to be spent filing, sorting 🚘 insurance (horrendous increased quote on last year for reasons known only to God) then lunch with DD before watching One Life in the cinema.

Will pop back and read of your doings later this morning and hope the day brings something to smile 😊 x

Good morning from Cornwall where it's very windy and raining heavily. Yesterday I bought a Cornwall Ranger rail ticket and spent all day jumping on and off whichever train was next to leave from whichever station I ended up at. Down to Penzance, up to Plymouth then under the Tamar Bridge to Gunnislake with views of Dartmoor (no apologies for the very poor photo here but the bridge is so awe-inspiring from below and suddenly appears out of the trees). The final leg back home was in a taxi as the line was flooded. Must claim back the fare today.

I'll either go to Trebah Gardens or the cinema today depending on how slippery it is underfoot for my crutches.

Good morning from a milder start in Crewe from where we depart later to drive home to Torquay.

Belated NY greetings to all as I missed posting yesterday following a late start to the day. Lovely to see some posts from contributors not seen for a while like Bellasnana and Grandmafrench. Many thanks to Mick for your conscientiousness in opening the GM thread each morning.

We’ve had a lovely few family days here with the highlight being watching DGD in her first professional pantomime on Saturday. She revelled in her dancing and of course we all glowed with pride! We were joined by my DS and DGS3 which was great.

Joy, peace, good health and happiness to you all for 2024. 🦩🥰💐😀🦩

Good morning from a mild Bristol. It rained a lot last night, but seems to be dry now.
Had a very pleasant afternoon. I put an invitation on the complex’ WhatsApp and a note through the door of those not on, to join me for a cuppa and cake in the afternoon. Three people came and we had a jolly good chat. Like me, they often go a day or so without talking to anyone.
Today, DD is taking me to IKEA to choose storage furniture for the hall and living room. Then after lunch at hers, we will go to Mrs. Potts for pudding. This is a chocolate shop that has a cafe selling all things chocolate! Should be delicious.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
