Good Morning Thursday 12th December 2024

Good morning all from a chilly North Leicestershire.

We are expecting a Sainsbury's delivery between 9 and 10. A shock to the system as we usually have it at 5pm. My choir is singing at Waitrose this evening so we had to change.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Kalu......Some for you x

🌺🌺🌺 kalu.

Bellasnana, I forgot to mention how much I like your nails. I have particularly ugly hands and fragile, short nails and am very envious!
Yes, there are “helpers” but they arrive 5 minutes before the start, when all the preparations are done.
As for the change of rooms, I knew it would happen but was expecting a more suitable room in the church, not in the adjacent church hall.

Kalu💐

Good morning from Shropshire where another dull day is forecast.

Yesterday went to plan which is a first for some time!We bought a new kettle and toaster from The Range then collected the children from school.Upset children when we got back to their house as the beautiful tree in the garden which had become unstable in the gales was being cut down.It was a lovely tree with a bench round it where all photos of significant occasions have been taken since DD and SIL’s wedding ten years ago.

Today we are going to visit mum.We are going early in the hope she will be better in the morning.We will take her to the midweek communion service then sort her room as every week things are missing and she has other people’s things🤦🏼‍♀️it is all taking some getting used to.Afterwards we will go out for lunch and finally meeting DD and the children for a ride on. Christmas train🎅🏼

Thinking of our absent good morning friends and all with mountains to climb.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning all. Another very cold -3deg in Glasgow this morning. 🥶

I’m not the best of company at present. Still dealing with admin and the insufferable pain from neck to heel. The brain fog caused by my pain relief meds isn’t helping matters either when I need to have a clear head for decision making. This too shall pass, I tell myself often.

My best wishes to all for a pleasant day especially to those living with struggles and worries.

Good morning from Malta where we expect a high of 18°C and a low of 14°C. It feels chilly though. It’s unusual to have central heating here so the houses do feel colder indoors than out sometimes.

Had a visit from the boys yesterday both good as gold. They have their Christmas concert today which I’m delighted to be attending. I shall probably cry.🥲

Re yesterday’s thread mentioning putting air in your tyres, we still have petrol pump attendants here who will also pump up your tyres and check your oil . I have not filled my own petrol tank since I lived in the UK over forty years ago.

grandMattie that sounded very inconvenient and thoughtless of whoever decided to put you in a room with no facilities. You’re a real trooper to have got it all organised but isn’t there anyone who could assist you? I would if I lived nearer!

karma thank goodness the rake hit the window rather than your face, still a nuisance though.

Must get going, I took half a tranquilliser last night and feel a bit woozy.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is still dark but it looks ‘dank’ out there. Yesterday’s session of the writer’s group was very Christmas-centric and we had a good laugh. That was our last session for this year. I had a card through the door last night but I have no idea who it is from - don’t recognise the names - but it has my name on it so they must know me!
Walking group this morning and call in at DDs for lunch where we will sort out arrangements for a ‘last fling’ Christmas shopping trip tomorrow.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from s somerset, dull dry and cold, same as yesterday, the day before and tomorrow

I stood on my rake, it smashed my shed window, I have to fix that, ordered the perspex and in the meantime stapled clear thick plastic over. Oh well, just something to do and learn from

More plot stuff today, needing to fix a leaky water butt, saw wood, prep an area for permanent shrubs for my windbreak and for insects and butterlies, A delivery is expected, I have to sign for it at home so will be ruled by the clock but certainly not staying in all day. Properly warmly dressed and out is what I want

I found my thermal compression gloves, slept with them on and they certainly helped with finger aches. I need to get petrol, a drive of several miles but the longer run will be good for my car. It needs a wash but I need the oomph to do that, maybe tomorrow

Have a good day

Good morning Mick, it’s cold and dry here at the moment in south Glos, yesterday was so chilly.
I struggled with walking the dog, very pufffed, I’m really not sure what’s going on! The consultant said earlier this year that I need to be fitter but I walk 3-4 miles a day with the dog, do all my own housework and gardening and usually manage 10,000 steps a day 🙄
Anyway, today I will be out early with the dog, I have a telephone medication review sometime this morning, a piece of furniture being delivered this afternoon plus a second dog walk.
DH has man-flu, he’s coughing, sneezing and spluttering everywhere so I guess I will get it too 😡
I have started the border on my big granny square, I will get that finished today 👏
Have a lovely day everyone if you can 🌹

Good morning from a dry Bristol. We are only 9 days away from the winter solstice; lighter mornings are coming nearer…
MD, I hope you feel better/calmer today; Ash, may the pain subside and your mobility increase;*Taichinan”, I hope your improved hearing carries on and you have the hearing of a 6 year old!
Yesterday was a real scramble. Not only had the venue been changed for theFAB cafe, but the church was full of excited little girls, their orchestra was practising for their Carol concert last night.
No morning prayers, just trying to figure out how best to accommodate myself into the second choice room. No water easily accessible, no china, kettle, nothing; it was a real battle to get everything ready. It took me a few apologetic journeys through the church after which I had to be inventive!
The AgeUK rep said it was “a lovely venue and could we use that room again”. It was met with an emphatic NO from me - setting up had taken me 90 minutes. I didn’t want a repeat every week!
I went to the next village in the afternoon to my library book group. Only two of us out of 5 had finished the book or read more than about 30 pages. The meeting was short!
Today, I have my tai chi class and shall spend the rest of the day doing my cards and decorating the mini gingerbread houses.
Love to those struggling. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
