I often check later in the morning to see what I’ve missed. Good to see you again grandmabatty.
10.30 definitely isn’t late grannyme6!

Grandmabatty

Thank you all for your welcome back messages and to Bellasnana for missing me. I'm really touched. Often I feel invisible-you have helped me feel seen.

Oh I am sad you feel invisible

You have been missed on here, especially the daily updates on your GSs.

So pleased you are back 🙋‍♀️

Good afternoon, Michael12 and all!

I'm on a 1/2-hour work break, sitting outside, guzzling a can of Monster Nitro!

On my way here this morning, I made friends with one of the most gorgeous grey Staffies I've ever seen. He's called William and is SOOOO lovely! Beautiful soft fur, hypnotic brown eyes, little floppy ears! We were over each other, kissing and cuddling! I really wish I could have taken William home with me! Smuggling in bed with him would be great!

Last night I grabbed a bowl of hot mac and cheese with peas, a mug of tea and watched 2011 The Jury, with Julie Walters as defence barrister, Emma Watts QC. If I'm ever in court needing defence, I'd love Emma on my side! Julie was magnificent!

We had periods of light rain here yesterday and last night, and it was glorious, I loved it!

Have a good one, all of you!

So sorry to hear of your loss Gagagran. My thoughts are with you.
Now you know! You're not invisible Grandmabatty.
This is as early as it gets these days for me - but I have to say in my defence that this morning I have taught a tai chi class and done some shopping before reading the thread. First thing in the morning is taken up comparing wordles and news with DD and a quick morning chat with my wee cousin on the west coast -we're the last two standing of the older generation!
Karma I hope your 'skin thing' turns out to be nothing - as mine did ten years or so ago 🤞.
Enjoy your heat everyone. I believe we might actually see some sunshine tomorrow here on the Angus coast 🤞☀️🤞. A temperature of 21° is expected 😁

Hi taichinan you can have our heat, please…

I owe posters an apology. I didnt mean I was invisible on the Good Morning thread. I've always felt like I was among friends here. I think I was having a bit of a down moment. See you tomorrow. X

Being an owl I am always late when I post here - thank you for reassurances FGT.

I am so sorry for the loss of your brother Gagagran. My only sister and I are very conscious that one of us will go first and devastate the other.

I have been doing random jobs this morning such as shortening an overlong blouse and going through papers to throw some away - both boring jobs but satisfying when done! The best thing has been sitting in my courtyard garden in the shade with a cup of good coffee after lunch and watching a beautiful robin darting about behind the pots.
Keep as well as possible everyone.

good afternoon from Manchester where it is now cool and breezy - today is my birthday and I have spent the morning with my mum and dad and bought us all a vanilla slice to celebrate, one of my nicer birthdays.
