Good Morning Monday 23rd October 2023

Good morning Mick pleased that you are getting better.
Too dark to see what the weather is like and if I get up I’ll disturb the dog and she will want to go out into the garden hunting for rabbits.
Hope everyone has a good day, thoughts are with those who are unwell or caring for others.

Good morning from a mild Torbay where it’s forecast to be windy later.

Yes, Mick, some areas are still suffering from rising floodwater even though the worst of the rain has ceased. It must be ghastly.

Thank you, Gingster, for your words of encouragement yesterday regarding me accompanying the service on the piano. It went better than I’d anticipated and was much appreciated by worshippers who were very supportive.

In the afternoon, I attended a rehearsal for Cranford at Christmas which was enjoyable. I mainly filled in for absentees which seemed to be the theme yesterday!

Apart from Move It Or Lose It, I’m at home today. I hope the week starts well for everyone, especially those who are unwell. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 0° and dry out. I can see frost on the cars so I'll need to scrape.
Yesterday I pottered about the house and garden and good rid of dead plants. I visited mum at night. She was rather wandered in her mind last night. I just agreed with her.
Today is a long childcare day as dd has to go to the office. Dgs1 starts back at nursery so I'll just have dgs2 most of the day. We'll go out for a walk and play in the garden. He's a wee outdoors boy. My rug is still damp from the clean on Saturday so the heating and dehumidifier will be back on. Have a good day all

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire. It’s dark, still, but dry just now.

No plans today other than dog walking and a little light crocheting. I cannot for the life of me find the pumpkins I made last year so I’m doing a few more.

Wishing everyone the best possible day and thinking of those with troubles to bear.

Good morning from s somerset, uninspiring flat weather today

I have run out of ideas on how to fill my day, so I will wander into town and perhaps get some inspiration. I relaxed for half a day yesterday and don`t want to be doing that today. I may end up doing some housekeeping jobs while dancing around to brain-changing music

Have a good day

Up early to check trains. It seems that our train is running to time and ScotRail services to Dundee are running today. 😀
Hair appointment at 8.15 then off to station.
Have a good day all, I’ll catch up later.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, dry corner of Somerset.

Ironing accomplished we had a walk along the river path in warm sunshine. No coat needed. After a restorative coffee it was some loft sorting for me before, finally, getting to an email or three. Mr C slept most of the afternoon, he was tired yesterday.

Today we’re visiting our recovering daughter in law, our son and grandson. A short visit as she’s very tired and in considerable pain, it will be so good to see her. Breakfast on the way and a stop at a large garden centre we rarely get to on the way home will make a day of it.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from Bristol, it currently is 10C, a lot warmer than batty’s!
Very quiet day yesterday, still felt unwell. Curiously, the covid vax had given me a rather sore shoulder. Church and nothing much else.
I made myself moussaka for dinner, I had planned for it to give me two meals but it was so big that I had enough for at least four! So I invited my upstairs neighbour for an impromptu meal. She said she’d has a big meal at lunchtime so wouldn’t eat much…. She ate as much as I did! 😂
Tesco this morning and possibly the pensioners’ film after in the church hall this afternoon.
I hope those who are unwell have a reasonable day. Don’t forget your random act of kindness today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning everyone from a dry Northampton, 4° out at the moment, and set to be a sunny day.

Yoga this morning first thing then get the bus home to a day of gentle pottering; may cut the back grass this afternoon.

Very much enjoyed the film 'The Miracle Club ' yesterday, a tale of homecoming, hope and reconciliation. A bit weepy at the end. Did a bit of shopping in town afterwards; some new leggings from Primark, which I shall wear to yoga this morning.

Smoked haddock, new potatoes and peas for dinner tonight.
Wishing all a calm and peaceful day.

GrandMattie freezing fog has now descended! I had to scrape the car before I could leave

Good morning everyone from Severnside. It’s very dark and no rain forecast.

Had a good few hours with Beechnutella helping yesterday and she went off home with a few things. I have to hopefully take the rest somewhere today and later on in the week. I’m not actually looking forward to the task but will feel cross with myself if I don’t do it.

Have the best day you can all 🌻

Good morning from a still dark W Kent. Yesterday as expected was quiet with a bit of pottering going on until the ignition on the hob went on the blink and has been beeping ever since. Hopefully someone should turn up today to deal with it. We talked about downsizing again and had a look at what is available locally the trouble is we are nearly past doing anything about it. Our house is lovely but a lot of steps and stairs.
Thinking of everyone with problems and illness

Good morning Mick and All.

So dark but dry here in South Bucks.

Hope you begin to feel better soon grandMattie 💐

52 years today we got married and had wall to wall sunshine 🌞 Off for a nice lunch at The Ivy, a treat from our lovely ‘almost’ daughter-in-law !

Good morning from the Ceredigion coast where it’s still dark and chilly.
A lovely day yesterday, bright sunshine all afternoon.
In the morning I wandered along to the lovely little church and spent sometime in the churchyard (I love old churchyards), so peaceful and stunning views across to Pulimon and the Cambrian Mountains. I got chatting to an elderly man who has lived here all his life, such an interesting gentleman.
Then I sat on the bench overlooking the sea and did some sketching.
DH and the dog spent the morning on the coast path, both fell asleep most of the afternoon.
In the evening we watched dolphins very close to shore- a real bonus!
The sunset was spectacular, a beautiful end to the day.

Happy anniversary to you both NanKate

Good morning all from a dark and drippy North Leicestershire.

I have a gentle, pootling and faffing day planned as i am helping on a Carer's session via zoom this evening.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from a still dark outside Glasgow and goodness, is it cold 2deg. but dry and calm.

Although chilly, it was good to be out in the garden on a very welcome sunny day yesterday. Peacefully pottering about listening to music on my AirPods with the inevitable coffee breaks, sitting in the sunshine was just what the doctor ordered.

No set plan for today just do whatever I am in the mood for whatever keeps me occupied today.

Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs NanKate 52yrs wow. 🥂

Best wishes to all for a good day and may your burdens feel lighter.

Morning everyone from a bright north Kent.

Still on jury duty so today will be more of the same. We all feel very tired at the end of the day; the after effects of having to concentrate for long periods of time. The weekend passed with some housework (yuk) and some enjoyable pottering in the garden yesterday whilst enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

Hope you all have a good day

Good morning all from the Black country still dark and curtains drawn so don't know what the weather is doing but hopefully it will stay dry.
Housework day methinks maybe the bedrooms unless a better offer comes along.
NanKate happy Anniversary enjoy your meal 🥂
RoseandLilac you sound like you're having a lovely holiday and what a treat to see the dolphins.
Enjoy your Monday folks whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning everyone from a clear and dry Inverness, it looks cold but I can’t see any frost
Happy Anniversary NanKate enjoy your special lunch! 🥂💐💕
DGS stayed for a sleepover last night so he’ll be up very school and back to school after the half term break. Later this morning I’ll be off to the gym and then hopefully a potter in the garden this afternoon
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from Shropshire.

Yesterday we all met at mum’s.It was lovely to see my little family all together.Mum seemed overwhelmed which was understandable but I noticed a decline in her.I can’t put my finger on it but something wasn’t right.I am expecting a phone call from her GP today so will see what she has to say.

Today is a day of waiting around.DH will drop the car off for a service and we will wait to hear when we can collect it.I also have to wait for a call from the plumbing company and the call from mums dr.

Thoughts so all and have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning all from a foggy Glasgow, where it is -1°.

Happy anniversary to the NanKates.

I'm feeling pretty grim after my Covid and 'flu, jags, so I will just wish you all a pleasant day. I feel even worse than yesterday. Someone is using a jackhammer inside my head

Good morning from a dry - forecast sunny South Downs. DH is out with the dog - urgent call - so I’m lounging in bed with a cup of tea. I can see my days are numbered though and I will be allowed to drive on Thursday - so DH will be the one doing the lounging.

Had an unexpected visit from friends yesterday, who called in and spent the day. Her niece is in Israel, and times are very anxious. I think that the family are hoping that she will return to the U.K. asap. The lamb I planned did nicely for us all and I had made enough chocolate mousse - so that was fortuitous.

Housework today - so a mundane day.

Pumpkin curry for supper.

Peace and harmony to all.

Oh: happy Anniversary nankate
