Good Morning Monday 10th June 2024

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a very wet South Yorkshire. I slept late this morning - unheard of for me. We had a lovely roast dinner here yesterday with DD, SiL and GS, but I have to admit it out of me these days. It was great fun though. GS told me a joke. The last time he told me a joke he was seven. “What’s brown and sticky, Nanny?” A: “a stick”. Now, ten years later, I’m not going to repeat the one he told me yesterday😁! Nothing on my agenda today. I have the camera set up on a tripod in the conservatory waiting for my goldfinches to bring their babies back to feed on my cornflowers, but there’s a sparrow hawk in the area so they may stay away.
Hope the twins pick up quickly, Bellasnanna.
Have the best day you can folks!

It got me thinking. How do people with little IT knowledge manage

Well for starters Marydoll I’d have kept your husband’s mobile by YOUR side when he was in the house! Less stress.
🤣

Galaxy that made me chuckle about the remotes! ‘we went to bed’ hehe!

I’d give it him back once the Virgin debacle got sorted Marydoll! 😁

Off to Hampshire for three nights with DD and DSiL, with a visit to Jane Austen’s house this afternoon . Sunny morning but a dismal forecast so must pack something warm. Comfortable feet are the biggest challenge so elegance will be a non-starter. Not sure how accessible GN will be but will read even if I don’t post.

Urms, I had already asked Virgin use the landline, however like DH, they don't listen!

Good morning everyone from a Northampton which is bright and sunny, but only minutes ago was very cloudy and wet.

No yoga this morning as my knee is still not up to it,.but I shall pop to Sainsbury's for some new potatoes which I need for dinner tonight; shall have a coffee while I'm out.

Well what a day yesterday, the after party in town after our rugby win on Saturday. The winning squad toured the town in an open-top bus - the town was rammed, and being vertically challenged I missed some of what was going on. However being short and tiny had its advantages and I managed to wriggle my way through to the front and got some great pictures, including a selfie with the great Courtney Lawes! There was much singing, shouting and celenrations.

Met up with DD and DS-in-law afterwards, went to the pub for a drink till the town quietened down, then they gave me a lift home.

Hope Monday goes well for all.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle where it has obviously rained during the night.
Yesterday, although it is still so cool my heating kicks in morning and night, I swapped my winter duvet for the summer one. I survived the night.

Today I'm supposed to go to Newcastle after lunch but I've woken with the onset of some infection which has been affecting my ears and balance. I'm think it would be best to cancel my appointment as I fear the train trip is going to make matters worse however many pills I take.

A totally awful day Marydoll, obviously you have nerves of steel! I hope it all gets properly sorted.

Have the best possible day everyone.

Good morning from a grey NE, torrential rain overnight battered my newly planted geraniums. Forecast is rain for the foreseeable future, heating kept coming on all day yesterday.

Nothing planned for today, just tidy round and then maybe read my book.
Have a good day.

Some pictures from the winning rugby parade and reception in Northampton yesterday.

I did think of you BlueSapphire cracking pictures!
Enjoy your trip GrannySomerset I’ll wave 👋👋 Chawton is 40 minutes away from us.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Good night’s sleep thank heavens after the cramp filled Saturday night saga. I couldn’t get warm yesterday.

DD from the south here and DGD arrives tonight. We fly out to Ibiza with DS too tomorrow morning so final packing etc.

Glad you are enjoying improved health Mick, greats photos and thoughts to all.

Marydoll I was locked out of Outlook yesterday and it took three changes of password and over an hour to get back in. It’s so frustrating.
I too have a husband who ‘isn’t deaf’ but admits to a ‘slight’ hearing loss. He has hearing aid but will not wear them!!

Safe journey for tomorrow Holly, enjoy your holiday.

Good morning all.

Yet another cool, breezy and drizzly day - more like early autumn than early summer. It’s far too breezy to get into the garden at the moment, and I do have some jobs to do, but still they must wait.

What a palaver Marydoll. I’m one of those who wouldn’t have a clue of what to do.

Good morning from East Lothian. The sky is grey but no rain so far. We are packing up and cleaning the flat and then we will be “on the road again”. We will stop somewhere overnight tonight - exactly where depends on what time we get away. I don’t know why there is so much to do 🤔.

GrannySomerset, enjoy your break. That area is lovely.

Marydoll, I hope all is sorted now. You have great tenacity!

I hear the vacuum cleaner going so I’d better get on with my packing. Have the best day possible all on Mick’s delightful thread!

Welcome to my world Marydoll
I regularly give up before I can pay on-line.
I had to resort to asking my MP to intervene whilst dealing with the Scottish government energy loans scheme. It worked!!
I try to avoid on-line shopping. You have all my sympathy.

Good afternoon from a cold breezy Co Armagh
Been out and did a massive grocery shop , half put away , and I’m sitting here recovering
I’ve just made an order on line and had to use my card reader to verify the vast ( not ) sum spent , the numbers on the tiny screen nearly defeated me
I have another card I should have used , it recognises my face and verifies without this palaver !
It will be a snack lunch , I can’t be bothered cooking !
Have the best day you can manage folks xx
