Good Morning Saturday 3rd February 2024

Good morning from a cloudy 10 degree W Kent. I shall be waiting for a food delivery and then a quick trip to a local garden centre. DGS5 delighted with some cash for his birthday a proper teenager from Sunday.
I hope your back is improving today gM.
Cornergran I hope your DIL has all the required tests soon
Best wishes to all

Good morning from a cloudy but mild Colchester. Signs of overnight rain.
A short walk for some bread and ironing are today's necessary tasks. Otherwise we take it as it happens, or not.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from what looks like a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Today we are going birthday shopping with DGS4 who was 12 last week. We will hit sports shops and then have lunch at his restaurant of choice - probably Nando's.

We will need a big sit down after that.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a wet hillside in south Glos, a soggy Saturday here.
Yesterday I filled two big bags of books for the charity shop, today I will start on the bedroom drawers and wardrobes.
The dog and I had a very blustery damp wander but it was good to be outside in the fresh air.
I hope that the weekend goes well for you all 🌹

Morning Mick, morning All from a damp looking corner of Somerset. Some rain forecast today.

Our first foray into Tai Chi went well. The group leader is clear and supportive, there is real understanding of physical limitations.

After a day in hospital being subjected to all sorts our daughter in law has to return for further scans. The involved team will assess and then share recommendations. We’re relieved at the thoroughness if still worried.

Not sure what today will bring. There’s a package to collect for Mr C which could (will!) involve tea and a scone at a garden centre and there will be a call from our god daughter at some point. Otherwise it’s a wait and see day, there’s little enthusiasm in me for anything requiring energy.

Back pain is debilitating, hope yours eases soon grandmattie. I’m envious of your clear sky mick, although we do have daffodils showing their colour in sheltered spots.

With thoughts of all managing life’s challenges. Hope Saturday is kind to us all.

Good morning from Cornwall where it's cloudy and mild. An afternoon of unexpected fun yesterday when my arty daughter-in-law called in. We laughed and laughed and she went home with two dresses I don't wear, a reel of garden wire for making something out of a bunch of old keys, a roll of antique lace to add to a top she's converting and a fold-out bench I've no space for. She came with a huge cork board which I've been seeking for ages, free on Marketplace apparently.

Today I'm going out to lunch with her and my eldest grandson. My granddaughter, who usually comes on a Saturday, is visiting tomorrow instead. My broken-footed son is trialling his taxi runs again tonight, to see if his foot is healed, yippee.

Good morning from Shropshire.Dark and dry at the moment.

DH will take DGD to sewing club this morning while I get their uniforms washed and sew badges on her cub uniform.We will all pick her up and then spend a couple of hours in town.

I hope your back eases as the day progresses grandMattie.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from a cloudy, mild Torbay.

Backache is wearing, grandMattie, so I hope the heat and rest do the trick. I find a back brace helpful at such times. DH has had one prescribed because his osteoporosis can occasionally cause severe backache.

A quiet weekend ahead although I will need to practise the hymns as I’ve been asked to play for tomorrow’s early service.

Happy weekend and thoughts with those in pain of any kind. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, weather here will be dull and uninspiring all day

I was busy altering patterns yesterday, cutting and sticking PDF patterns. That leads to today when I will definitely make a roll neck thin rib top, to wear as a layering piece, first one will be a cream colour.

Speedy hill walk first it does help me keep fit enough for cycling and only takes half an hour.

Have a good day

Good morning from a dry Bristol. We are forecast a drizzly day, but fairly mild for February.
For the record, the reason I can make marmalade so quickly is that I use a pressure cooker. Peel cooked in 15 minutes instead of some 2 hours!
Spanish went ok yesterday, but I was felled by backache and spent most of the day with a hot water bottle nursing my pain.
I did manage to make the cake for church coffee this morning (and the easiest boiled fruit cake ever).
I think I’ll be kind to my back again today.
May today be kind to all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
