Good Morning Thursday

Enjoy your lunch, mike. We had a baby pink and blue and white sky this morning

Nice part of the country where you are Mick.
Frost on ground here again this morning but the sun is already shining. Yesterday afternoon it went up to 20deg.
Enjoy your meet up.

Oops, sorry, mick!

Good morning Mick, the sun is out but it very frosty here in the North east this morning, we are having a meet up in Newcastle today for lunch too, enjoy

Another beautiful day here, and I've just been sitting on my garden bench enjoying a cup of tea. My garden is begging or some TLC. Too many weeds starting to show amongst the spring bulbs that have shot up. I have just found my secateurs, which went missing last autumn - they've been out all winter and have rusted - my fault for putting them down and forgetting them.

Good morning, Mick. I like these weekday threads. Good idea.
Today the sky is white and flat and the countryside is quite, quite still - so I'm hoping a bit more weather will come along to perks things up a bit!

The idea extends from Saga zone were if I did not do it someone else beat me to it.
Miss the club zones such early morning breakfaast club, you also had an elevenses club, plus others ex service and civil service.
Mick

Morning Mick and everyone, another lovely, sunny start here in Cheshire. Hope both lunches/meet-ups are chatty ones

Sea fog rolling in again. Hey ho.

Come on , do your bit!

Good morning to everyone,enjoy your lunch to-day all those off for meet-ups I'm sure you will all have a really good gossip.The weather here on The Wirral is crisp and bright maybe the yellow thing in the sky will break through later if we are lucky.

Sunny start here in N Bucks. Clouding over now though. Not long till we put the clock forward.

Thankyou to whosoever returned Wales!
I can see it this morning!
Some sunshine but the pond is frozen again. Any bonking frogs would get a headache from hitting their heads against the ice

Galen poor old frogs

Good morning from tyne/wear bright and frosty hear ,enjoy all the meet ups today all thats going to one x

Good morning from Devon - it's a bright, cold day here.

I like the thought of an elevenses club for those like me feeling a bit like Winnie the Pooh this morning! Lovely sunny day but not really finding my "get up and go" (got up and went?) Feel weary at the thought of how much can no longer be ignored in the garden. Since DH is no longer in a position to do the weeding etc in the herbaceous border he insisted on having (caused a major row 3+ years ago when I tried to "suggest" that it would be down to me in the end to look after it, but we shall draw a veil over that) Well, guess what, it's down to me! I have no real objection to the weeding, but it tends to go for my thumbs/wrists and having been painfree for a couple of wekks, it would be nice to stay that way! He's still very possessive about it though, if I had my way I would put a few low maintenance shrubs and climbers in and grass it over, but I don't want to rub his face in his declining health as that would be dispiriting. Not that he did all that much even when he was fitter Is it typical of Pisces to try so hard not to hurt people's feelings that you inevitably end up upsetting everybody, especially yourself?

Good morning all it is a glorious day here in Kinross-shire with not a cloud in the sky. Have to admit though the temperature is 2C.

We are in the process of making changes to our house and garden - here in SW France our driveway and parking get very muddy and messy in the winter with all the rain. So we will have to bite the bullet and put down a proper parking area of gravel etc.
I would like more hard standing outside my new back door too - at the moment when it rains hard dirt is splashed onto my lovely new doors!!
We are also altering a large flower bed which for years OH thought the drainage pipes from the fosse and water system crossed - but last year he found the real path of these pipes with the aid of the water board man with a piece of wire and a device so the flowerbed can be altered. Bought another couple of easy maintenance shrubs yesterday - hydrangea and a snowball bush - so gardening will soon be on the agenda in a BIG way!!

Sun keeps managing to break through the grey here in North East Suffolk, still quite cold but 2 cats have got off the sofa and gone out, so it must be improving!

Been enjoying watching a little gang of long tailed tits enjoying the fat balls and coconut - pretty little birds.

It feels like Spring is just round the corner!!

Sorry, not here in the mornings, beautiful day here in Boston again, just wish we could go out somewhere, but hubby`s wedded to his Playstation as usual.

On the closest branch of the tree nearest to my bedroom window today I saw a long-tailed tit looking straight at me. They've been very active in my garden this winter.

I've only seen them once this year. But as I looked into my garden this morning there was a gorgeous ebony blackbird whose plumage shone as if it had been polished!
His beak looked as if it had been dipped in liquid gold,
His eye was bright and ringed with gold
He looked as if he'd just been told
That spring was on the way

His liquid notes bestirred the tranquil air
And I for one did not dare
To move at all in case
He sensed my presence there
And away took flight

Oh, I did like your blackbird Galen.
