good morning Friday

Similar in London with a bit of a wind. Still it will not affect the centre court tennis today, Laura and later Andy, cannot wait.

It's peeing down here in Cheshire, a really good day to be a tennis couch potato

Ella
A damp good morning from bonnie Kintyre. Sat in bed and noted that the colours of the bird cherry tree's trunk looked particularly beautiful. Took several pics. Will upload one later.
Come on, Andy.
Come on, Laura.
Choc ice waiting in the fridge

Yes, Ella. I was going to walk down to the shops, but decided they would still be there tomorrow and at the moment I don't really need the sandal I left at the cobbler's.

Typical - chucking it down!!! But it is easing and the forecast for the weekend is good. We are off to Blackwood Forest with DD, SIL and DGC for the weekend. Anyone had exerience of Forest Holidays? It looks pleasantly like the antithesis of roughing it!

About to upload photos taken through the window...the bird cherry tree and misty scene as ferry passes the island of Jura.

We took our visiting friend back to the railway station in the pouring rain this morning - and it has hardly stopped coming down since. I suppose it gives the right feel to the day - we are going to the dentist this afternoon!

Soop where do I find your picture? Rain most of the morning but hey ho the sun is now shining, whoopeeeee. Cant miss the tennis though, so I'll open all the windows.

More lovely pictures, soop.
"O' a' the airts the wind can blaw
I dearly love the west..."

One of the Selkirk Common Riding songs - "For it's there the bonnie lassie lives, the lassie I looe best..." Followed by a wonderful "rum tum tiddley I tie" interlude which erupts spontaneously as the procession moves down The Green towards the fording of the Ettrick!
Sweet nostalgia!

Lovely pics soop (as usual!). Still tipping down here in Northumberland, will I ever get out for a walk with the hound?

Ella very soggy doggies this morning and a rather damp sook. Thankfully the rain has stopped and it feels slightly warmer with a bit of a breeze.

gracesmum enjoy your weekend

I am just going to knit socks and enjoy the tennis.

We've had quite a good day so far here in Plymouth, just clouding over now.

Rain reached here at lunchtime so we had time to explore the sculpture trail at Blickling Hall before it started. Pretend ordered three or four pieces - nowhere to put them anyway!

Thistledoo If you go to my name and click, you should be able to have a wee look.

Damp here and very muggy - feeling sorry for myself today, back painful after my fall last week but my arm in the sling (not painful) gets all the sympathy. Not used to being unable to do things with both hands, and having to sit down gingerly, so a bit of a grumpy old woman at the moment. Probably nothing new in that.

Your pictures are very lovely soop.

Love the new pics Soop, is that Lucy?

More lovely pictures soop, I am really

number the answer is yes.
