Good morning Mick and all who follow.
A grey start here in Glasgow. A restless night and a throat like sandpaper. The perils of air travel, ✈I always come back with some sort of lurgy!
DD's fiance is also unwell. I'm not complaining, we had a great holiday and the missing suitcase has turned up at last, with everything intact. ?
A childminding day, so we hope to be out and about, despite the forecast.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick, morning all!

North Leicestershire is wet!

Having done mountains of washing for DD3, I am scheduled to do the ironing today!!

Dentist at lunchtime shock and then DD1 is coming for dinner and a sleep over as she is doing some training close-by tomorrow.

Morning Marydoll!! Glad the suitcase has turned up and hope you feel better soon.

Morning Mick and everyone.

Restless night for me, still quiet dark in the bedroom so can't comment on the weather. Still wearing just a T-shirt in balmy Kent.
A day of pottering for us. Enjoy what ever your doing.

Morning Mary, kitty

Good morning Mick,Mary,Kitty, Nina and all to follow.

So glad the suitcase has turned up intact Marydoll I hope you feel better soon.

Usual Monday morning feeling for me. School runs, then that place. The children are staying with me a few nights to fit in with DDiL’s shifts.

Have a good Monday everyone.

Good Morning everyone! It's a cloudy, mild start to the day here on the south coast.

I am going to the library and to do a bit of shopping this morning then ironing.

We are hoping the plumber gets in touch today after failing to reach him over the weekend. He serviced the boiler a few weeks ago and although the hot water is working , the CH isn't. Not that we need it on just yet but "Be prepared" is my motto!

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

Good morning. A dull start in N. Bucks and quite a breeze.
A day at home for me. Washing, ironing and lots of sorting out to do.

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Very warm overnight, 18 degrees at present and forecast mid twenties today.
Back to Walking Netball after Summer break. Great fun but I have been lazy so will feel so unfit!

Good Morning all from a damp but very warm Black Country.

Canal boat trip with U3A today, with a stop off for a pub lunch smile

Pleased the suitcase has turned up Marydoll , and yes I always seem to come back from a holiday with some kind of lurgy! Hope you feel better soon.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a grey but very mild East Northamptonshire. A restless night because it was so warm, dreaming about holidaying in the Bahamas of all things. It was nothing like I thought it would be so I might give that destination a miss! (As if I'll ever get further than Torquay!) grin My day consists of a mooch around the sales and a Waitrose (free) coffee. Enjoy your day!

Greyduster Mon 17-Sept-18 08:09:54

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Muggy and grey in South Yorkshire this morning. We are having a quiet day today after a houseful yesterday. We are also going on a diet!! GS has after school football today so we will be picking him up later than usual. Have a happy day folks.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

I am going to play scrabble today ?

Auntieflo Mon 17-Sept-18 08:20:35

Good morning Mick, Annie to come and all here and to follow. It's a dull grey start to the day here, and nothing planned, yet, except a bit of tidying up.
Can you still get free coffee in Waitrose Willow?
Have a good day one and all

Good morning from N Bucks, cooler and breezy but looks set to warm up again.
Very tired, yesterday was lovely but full on and so quiet when everybody had gone. Hattie and I dozed in front of the TV , she enjoyed watching the sheepdogs on Countryfile while I still failed to work out who the baddies are on Bodyguard!

Brunette10 Mon 17-Sept-18 08:37:03

Morning everyone from Fife, it's sunny at the moment but rain soon to arrive I believe. Late today, had very restless night and hardly slept, too much going on in my mind! Some shopping to be done this morning and some ironing - joy! Hope you all have a good day whatever you end up doing.

Willow10 Mon 17-Sept-18 08:37:33

Only from the machine Auntieflo and of course you have to buy something. But I do love their cappuccino! I top it up with hot water when I get home and really enjoy it. I buy it in the cafe once a week when meeting friends, but it never tastes as good.

Brunette10 Mon 17-Sept-18 08:39:59

Welcome Blue45Sapphire and enjoy!

harrigran Mon 17-Sept-18 08:53:24

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Gentle housework today, tidying GD's bedroom and cleaning her bathroom.
Looks like it is going to be a lovely day weather-wise.

aggie Mon 17-Sept-18 09:01:25

Good morning everyone . Bit yuck today I was abed early with paracetamol , the solar panel people turned up at 8 am ! For next door , I am back in bed with ginger tea to calm my tummy

Morning everyone. Not a typical day for me, two and a half hour drive each way to see DH's aunt who is in her nineties, now stuck in a wheelchair, though she believes she can walk (she can't even stand up) and suffers from dementia. Don't really know what to take, apart from a photo album of our family, all named, so she can look at it later, and perhaps a sinful box of chocs. She wants to go home, but her DD says this is impossible (she is obviously right, would need two full time carers 24 hours a day) and we have been banned from talking about it. Growing old can be horrible.

I will be glad when it is Tuesday! smile

Willow10 Mon 17-Sept-18 09:10:49

Difficult day B9 - lovely idea to take the photo album. flowers

Good morning everyone! A glorious start followed by heavy cloud this morning on the Somerset coast. There’s a sonnet this sort of morning reminds me of “Full many a glorious morning have I seen..”
My youngest child’s birthday today, and I think she wants to go to the zoo. She’s 33.

B9exchange Mon 17-Sept-18 09:27:28

Thank you Willow. Thought she might like an orchid too, to make her room look a bit more homely though of course we are banned from saying that.

Anyway I might have hijacked this thread a bit, hope you feel better soon Aggie, enjoy your boat trip NannyJ, hope the rain holds off for you!

Good morning to all U3A members!
