Morning Mick and All.

Thick damp mist here in South Bucks.

Off to Rummykub this afternoon which is an excuse for a good old chat and a cuppa.

Preparing today to go back down to West Sussex to look after the boys tomorrow.

Hope for some improving news for the Gillybobs. ?

Good morning Mick I hope you enjoy your day. It was a glorious day in Cheshire yesterday and I'm hoping for the same today.

It's white with frost at the moment though and neighbour's are scraping windscreens. I have to be up and out as I'm visiting a school today once the rush hour traffic has calmed down.

Gilly, hope the improvement continues, Stay strong. Get well wishes to all who are unwell or coping with treatments of one kind or another.

Enjoy your day, whatever you may be up to. x

Coffee and shopping this morning as I expect to be laid low for the next 5 days.

Hope you are feeling better today Marydoll and all thoughts with Gilly.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where we have a very pretty sunrise - the sky is streaked in pink and powder blue.

I’m going with my friend and neighbour who is 84y to a hospital appointment in Malaga city. We leave in an hour - the local train and then a short taxi ride.

Thinking of the gillybobs and hope you are feeling better today Marydoll

Hope Tuesday is kind to us all whether we have plans or or none. x

Morning All

I miss a couple of mornings and find that Mr Gillybob is making progress! Wonderful news that the infections are at last under control and hopefully gone for good.??.

And - Gabriella is back! Welcome back - I look forward to seeing you back in the thick of things on the threads I only read as I haven’t the courage to contribute!

The sun is rising on the wrong side of next door’s house. It must be getting near mid=winter! And there’s frost on the skylights too. Looks as if it’s going to be a lovely brisk day.

Off into Norwich this afternoon shopping with DD2. A rare treat.

Beechnut Tue 19-Nov-19 07:25:31

Good Morning everyone.

It’s getting light and I’d frosty.

NannyJan we had a talk at my u3a a while ago on the social history of canal people . It was very interesting.

I hope you feel better Marydoll and anyone else who is poorly or having treatments. I was pleased to see gillys DH has taken a few good steps however small.

Have a lovely autumn day ?

Morning Mick, morning All from a frosty corner of Somerset. Deep red sky, wonder what that will bring. Off for breakfast with Mr C before a behind the scenes tour at a National Trust. If energy remains some shops later, there could well be a need for tea and cake. Love to gilly and her husband, hope maryd feels better this morning and Tuesday is kind to everyone.

Pantglas2 Tue 19-Nov-19 07:31:13

Morning all from dry and sunny Spain - off to the gym first thing then local market for provisions to tide us through til Saturday. That’s when we return to a bracing but dry (hopefully) north Wales and a round of hospital appointments for DH at Gobowen - that’s not far from you Susan56!

Good to hear those feeling under the weather are improving and hope for more of the same with Gillybob

Marydoll Tue 19-Nov-19 07:33:01

Good morning all from a freezing Glasgow, it's -7 again!

A day in for me, papa will do the nursery run, as the cold is hurting my chest. sad

Well I made my lunch date yesterday and what a cheery affair it was! grin.
Friend no.1 : I'm having an emergency hip replacement in a few weeks, I left it too long to seek help and the op needs to be done ASAP.
Friend no.2: We are selling the house, X and I have split up after 19 years. ?
Friend no. 2: Y and I have split up after 12 years. ??
Friend no 4: MIL 92, is very unwell, DH has had to rush to care home sad
Me: Well..............

The good news was that I managed to eat some lovely sea bass, without feeling too nauseous.
However, it was so cold that I had an angina attack, as soon as I went into the car park. Kalu it was up at Waitrose, so you will know how cold it was.
It was good to catch up and after we discused all the bad /sad news, we had a lovely catch up.

Hoping the slighter better news from Gilly continues and my best wishes to all who are suffering emotionally or physically at the moment.
That's what's great about this lovely thread, we all look after each other.
If you are new to the thread, come on in! You are very welcome!!

Good morning everyone from a bright but very frosty Essex by the sea. I've to go food shopping this morning then ironing and admin. What a fun day !!!
Better news from Gilly yesterday, hoping that the small steps to improvement continue.
I hope you all have a lovely Tuesday.

Nanabanana1 Tue 19-Nov-19 07:40:35

Good morning everyone, looks like it will be a lovely day here. Pink sky over the bay this morning does that mean good weather? Hope so. Housework today,
Nothing planned, hope everyone has a good day.

MawB Tue 19-Nov-19 07:43:08

Good morning all from cold and frosty N Bucks.
I’m having to whisper as I have a throat like razor blades which has had me up much of the night. ?????
That is trivial though and nothing compared to what many are going through. I hope there will be some news of more progress from Mr Gillybobs and that Marydoll keeps in out of the cold.
Wishing you all a pleasant day smile

NannyJan53 Tue 19-Nov-19 07:45:55

Good morning from a frosty Black Country. It was 0 deg in car this morning.

We had a good U3A meeting yesterday, with plans for lots of trips out next year. Beechnut the history of canals is very interesting. We have many canals here in the Black Country.

Off over to Wolverhampton today to spend some time with Mum. She had a mouse in her bedroom last week! But she managed to trap it with the help of my DS who visited her Saturday. Why would a mouse go upstairs where there is no food??

Wishing you all a good day, and hoping for more positive news from gilly

Marydoll Tue 19-Nov-19 07:51:54

Maw, Oh I hate that razor blade throat feeling. Hope you feel better soon.

I prescribe a wee hot toddy, then a snooze! grin

BlueSapphire Tue 19-Nov-19 08:01:41

Good morning all from a very frosty Northampton. Everything is white and sparkling and a lovely pink sunrise, which is shepherd's warning, isn't it?
Nothing planned for this morning except a bit of washing, then after lunch will try to get to a health walk. Have a coffee and chat afterwards, then pick up younger DGD from school, give her tea, and get her ready for Brownies.
Hope the day goes well for all and to those feeling poorly, stay in out of the cold and take care.

harrigran Tue 19-Nov-19 08:06:10

Good morning from the NE where we have a harsh frost, it is -2 and quite pretty.
DH has a hospital appointment this morning but we are free for the rest of the day, no school run in next county.
Hoping for continued progress for gilly's DH.
Take care Marydoll need to stay warm in this cold weather.

Alygran Tue 19-Nov-19 08:10:37

Good morning from cold and frosty North Yorkshire. It was a beautiful day yesterday so I went back to the arboretum near here. Very soggy underfoot but glorious in the sunshine.
It was already frosty when I left my board meeting last night and it’s very white this morning. Pleased I put the car in the garage.
Off to Bowes Museum today to see the Norman Cornish exhibition.
Hope all the coughs, colds and sore throats improve and that we have more good news from Gilly.
Stay warm everyone (including you Marydoll) and have a good day.

Marydoll Tue 19-Nov-19 08:12:45

Stunning pictures, Alygran.
My favourite time of the year!

Good morning from a rather frosty Wiltshire - it's not as cold as I thought it might be.
Off to visit very elderly parents this morning, then back to tidying the garden.

Grammaretto Tue 19-Nov-19 08:21:36

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. The hills are white with ice.
