Hi everyone. I am so glad it is NOT sunny! Sounds ungrateful, but there iT is.
My birthday and my sister is taking us out for lunch in Oxford.

Hopefully a better day than Friday when two dogs (neighbour's) got into my garden and almost in the house, giving me a great fright....if I had not been already holding on, they might well have knocked me down - I am very unsteady on my feet at present!

AlieOxon - I hope you are going to complain about the dogs!
Another very sunny morning here in the Alps, already 21C on my South-facing balcony. I think it will be too hot for steep walks, but I couldn't go anyway, as I have my sister staying with me. Unfortunately, she finds walking very painful, even for the shortest distance, but I can take her a drive to some of the most wonderful beauty spots.

Happy Birthday Alie..... I'm off to meet some lovely GNers ( but then we're ALL lovely, aren't we!)

Have a lovely birthday Alie, enjoy your days Gn and OGM.

Grey and drizzly today in N Leicestershire - bit of a relief really!

After a busy but highly enjoyable family BBQ yesterday we have a gentle day in prospect. Lunch with DD2, her husband, DGD2. They will leave about 3 pm and peace will reign, especially after DD3 collects her dog and our cat can come out of hiding.

Happy birthday Allie cupcake
63c here but forecast warmer. Hope it does sunshine as the Bristol group are coming for lunch and I'd planned to have it outside,

AlieOxon Sun 21-Jul-13 09:20:43

Thanks everyone!
Galen we had a Garden group meeting here last week, and all had to sit inside anyway, not outside as planned, as it was too hot!
So outside could be just right today....

Happy birthday Allie hope you have a lovely day. flowers

Hope the sunshine does arrive for you soon Galen . Wishing the Bristol Group a wonderful day.

Cooler and cloudy on the North East Coast today. Music festival in the park later this afternoon so might have a wander down with my deckchair.

Have a good day everyone. smile

Morning all, Alie flowers cupcake Have a great birthday!

Dull and cloudy here, and the weeks forecast is for rain (some) every day! shock

I might actually have to do something! grin

Enjoy your day everyone sunshine

Galen You have me very worried. Did you mean "63c here but forecast warmer"! To save further panic could you confirm if that should have been 63F. I am concerned about global warming but that would really be too much. wink

Happy birthday Alie, enjoy your day. smile
Morning everyone we were up early to walk our friends dog while they are away .Got a shock when we stepped outside, it was raining.!!! It's still over cast at the moment, fingers crossed for the sun to make an appearance soon.wink

AlieOxon Sun 21-Jul-13 10:09:12

Thanks all for all the cakes and flowers!

Galen Sun 21-Jul-13 10:26:24

Sorry*Nellie*blush yes you're correct. My only excuse is I'm frazzled, getting ready for 5 of us GNers.angry that's red with rushing, not angry!

annodomini Sun 21-Jul-13 10:35:06

Happy birthday from me too, Alie. I hope the sun will shine on Oxfordshire, though not too hot! It's overcast here and I have no excuse for not going out and doing something in the jungle. wine cupcake

An unpromising start has turned into a lovely, sunny, but not too hot day. Enjoy your various activities, everyone.
