Good morning Mick and everyone. Up early for my day in hospital- really missing my morning cup of tea!

kittylester Thu 25-Oct-18 06:37:30

Morning Mick, morning all!

It's cold in North Leicestershire but at least its dry.

Volunteering this morning and Sainsbury's this afternoon.

We saw Motown the Musical yesterday - it was brilliant. I think it's a favourite of yours, isn't it Mick?

kittylester Thu 25-Oct-18 06:38:29

Morning Dora, good luck today. I'm afraid I've missed what you are going in for.

NannyJan53 Thu 25-Oct-18 06:42:15

Good Morning everyone, and all to come later

No real plans for today, just go with the flow. I was up at 5am which is unusual for me. Just couldn't get back to sleep.

Good luck for today Dora

Glad you enjoyed Motown Kitty sounds like something I must go to see.

Have a good day all

I saw it 4 times I assume you went to the Alex theatre in Brum, another one I would like to see again but in the west end and that is Cilla.
Mick

kittylester Thu 25-Oct-18 06:47:06

Yep, the Alex! Martin Gaye was brilliant as were Berry Gordy and Diana Ross!

Morning Mick, morning all. It’s rain thunder and lightening here in Cyprus today which is a shame as we are leaving later today. Tomorrow the sun returns with temps of 27 plus through to November but we won’t be here to enjoy it. We have had a good time.
Packing after breakfast and will try to keep dry til later when we are picked up for the airport. Arriving home n the early hours. Will be very tired! Zzzzzz
Have a good day all.

Oops! Shot out of bed thinking the alarm (not set) said it was 8.37
Opened curtains and wondered why it is pitch black outside.
Should have gone to Specsavers (other opticians are available) - 6.37
Good morning all.
Cup of tea and turning over now. Weather? Don’t think we have any!

Marydoll Thu 25-Oct-18 06:56:33

Good morning all, It dry for the moment in Glasgow, but it's supposed to rain all day.
A very restless night, due to pain my hands. Unfortunately, I cannot have steroid injections, as they will affect the tests I'm awaiting. Just need to shut up and stop moaning and think of those on GN, who are a hundred times worse.
We have DGD today and the plumber is supposed to be coming to connect the cooker and sink at last. smile.
I'm not building my hopes up, as he intended to come yesterday, but the floor tiles needed to settle.
DGD got her flu vaccination yesterday, so I'm expecting her to be a bit under the weather.
Dora, my very best wishes that all goes well today.

Good morning all. Very cold and dark here in Northampton as I've just noticed, having just put the bins out. Now sitting in the warm with a cup of tea and a ginger biscuit.

Oh, silver I do wish I were in Cyprus, despite the weather. Mind you, that's typical for the season - we lived in Cyprus for three years and the rains would start the last weekend of October without fail.

Will catch up on a few household jobs this morning and perhaps have a go at Mary Berry's chicken pasta bake, and then may pop down to Sainsbury's and M & S food this afternoon.

NanKate Thu 25-Oct-18 07:19:41

Morning Mick and All.

Dark and chilly here in South Bucks.

DH going up to your neck of the woods today Kitty to collect our new, to us, car which he is buying from his brother. Watch out Kitty for a bit of boy racing up and down your High Street. ? I must check out the Motown Show. Do they have a Stevie Wonder double ? Seen him 3 times and he is fabulous but he does’t seem to tour now.

Sorry Mary about the discomfort with your hands, long term pain must be so wearing. I don’t know how you keep so bright. Do you think DrKikdare is needed again ?

Willow10 Thu 25-Oct-18 07:25:00

Good morning all. Dark, chilly but dry in East Northants. Hospital appointment this morning and a bit of shopping. Weighing up the possibilities of adopting a little blind Yorkshire Terrier from the rescue centre (I should never have looked at the website!). Glad you enjoyed Motown Kitty! I hope it's a positive day for all.

12Michael Thu 25-Oct-18 07:33:13

Nan Kate ,
Motown wise they have a selection of kids who play the young Berry Gordy, little Stevie Wonder and the younger Michael Jackson.
You also have a scene in the show with the person playing Diana Ross does a Los Vegas cabaret scene and getting a female and male from the audience to sine Reach Out and Touch with her.
Mick

NanKate Thu 25-Oct-18 07:44:08

Thanks Mick sounds a great Show. I still listen to Sounds of the 60s with the great Tony Blackburn each Saturday morning. ?

Brunette10 Thu 25-Oct-18 07:52:09

Morning everyone, dry here in Fife. Food shopping today and running a friend to get her car from garage. That's it I'm afraid not a lot! Enjoy your day everyone.

GrannyGravy13 Thu 25-Oct-18 08:04:38

Goodmorning all from what is looking like a bright sunny SE Essex.

Hope hospital day stay goes well Dora.

Just wondering if any of you have seen the Bat out of Hell musical? Husbands birthday coming up and thinking of surprising him.

Week 5 of the builders/decorators being here, no end in site ??????

travelsafar Thu 25-Oct-18 08:08:32

Morning all, dry and cold but looks like the sun may appear a bit later. Off to the dentist this morning for 6mth check up, not my favourite place to be going but necessary. hmm Then into the supermarket for the weekly shop and a visit to the bank to check on finances smile I will take a siesta this afternoon as out to my whist club later this evening. Have a greatday what ever you are doing. Good luck Dora.

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
Need to get the garden tidied and there's a pile of laundry as usual, so I won't be idle.

TerriBull Thu 25-Oct-18 08:28:56

Good morning from a slightly dreary south east. Had a lovely day in Sussex yesterday, sun came out and it was really warm, don't know whether we can expect the same today. Mainly looking after 4 year old grandson today, so will be gathering conkers I guess, which I will be expected to keep until the next visit and the next until they are all shrivelled when I'll probably be allowed to dispose of them!

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone x

Greyduster Thu 25-Oct-18 08:35:07

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Wall to wall sunshine again here in South Yorkshire but I expect it will be cold (I am still abed!). Food shopping this morning and then the last school run before half term. We shall be Boy-less this half term ☹️☹️ as they are off to New York tommorrow for a week. I wish it wasn’t such a long way away......
Have a good day folks.

Riverwalk Thu 25-Oct-18 08:44:21

Grannygravy I went with DGS(13) yesterday to see 'Bat Out Of Hell'. It's great fun!

It's very loud, a few fleeting adult themes, swearing, special effects, big cast, big orchestra. The audience was primarily couples of a certain age grin.

I wasn't a particular fan of Meatloaf but he did sing some very catchy songs and surprisingly-moving big ballads. All good stuff smile

I got very cheap seats.

ninathenana Thu 25-Oct-18 08:44:47

Morning everyone.
Sunny and cool in Kent. We've still not had the heating on, which is great. Not much planned today.
Another fan of the Motown show here. When I saw it in the west end the boy playing Michael Jackson was amazing.
Good luck Dora
