Good Morning Tuesday

Morning Mick and everyone!

It's a sunny start again here on the south coast but we are told it will be cooler from tomorrow.

We shall have no water today from 9am to 4.30pm as they connect us up to the new water main which has been installed to serve the new houses being built opposite. I am sure we shall cope!

Need a visit to the library and a bit of shopping today and before that a pile of ironing awaits.

Have a good day folks!

Morning Mick, morning all.

North Leicestershire is still sticky but we are told to expect some rain later in the week.

DH's birthday today - he's 73!!!

Last day of helping on this particular Carer's course for me but a new one .starts next week in a different part of Leicestershire.

I have long thought that there could be some sort of charge for bus passes and have wondered if a yearly charge of say £10 would work. I hope you are successful Mick - could you post a link?

Morning gaga - I'll drop my ironing round, it's only duvet covers!

Morning Mick, Gaga, kitty and all.

Seems cooler in Kent and the sky is not so bright this morning but it's early and we are forecast a scorcher.

My besties birthday today too kitty though she is a spring chicken at 55.
Happy Birthday to your DH.
Enjoy your days people.

Good morning Mick Gaga Nina kitty and all to follow. What a brilliant idea (the bus passes 50p charge) a long time overdue and as you say could protect vital bus services.

The promise of a lovely day here on the NE coast today which is good because I have the children to entertain. No (real) work today for me. Thank goodness for the little tent in the garden.

Have a good Tuesday everyone.

Good morning Mick and all. It's been raining overnight in Glasgow and doesn't look too promising for the rest of the day..
Dentist today☹️ and DH is about to start painting the new extension with plaster paint, before the rest of the work continues.
We did eventually get the tiles yesterday, a stressful day which included getting a phone call in the tile shop informing me that a fiend had died, ?a meltdown by DGD in the tile shop, her needing the toilet in the tile shop and no toiet available.available. Hopefully today will be happier.
Happy birthday to Mr Kitty.
Enjoy your cooler weather, those who live down South.

PS, Gaga, come up to Glasgow, there is plenty water here.⛈️☔

Morning Mick and All.

Boiling hot here in South Bucks, bring on the cooler weather.

Well the grandchildren arrived at 9.00pm last night. The 7 year old saw some local boys his age playing on the field in front of our house, next thing he was out there in his pjs setting up a football match girl 6.00 tonight, there is nothing like getting yourself organised at the beginning of the holiday ?⚽️⚽️⚽️

Happy Birthday Mr Kitty.

It’s important Mick that we keep our bus passes.

Good Morning everyone, dull and raining here in NE Fife not a pleasant day. Glad to hear you got your tiles Marydoll but sorry to hear about your friend, it's never easy getting sad news like that. Yes think we have all been there toddler needing toilet but nowhere to take them, not good for your stress levels. Had very busy day yesterday but today is another day and meeting friend for catch-up, coffee and scones this morning. Enjoy your day everyone.

Just meant to add that if something isn’t done about the bus passes (ie the token 50p charge) then the likes of me who can’t retire until they are 67+ (assuming I live that long) will probably never get to have one, they will be long gone.

Good morning, beautiful sunny start to the day.
Last day of GD's stay until after their family holiday, I can get the Dyson fan back out of her bedroom. Should really buy another one

Indeed Harri this is what we have had to do as I couldn’t do with out it 2-3 nights a week all summer long.

Happy Birthday Mr Kitty and to Nina’s bestie! Looks like it will be warm so do I finish the garden/do the ironing/start the big house clean? Answers on a postcard please!

Morning All from an overcast corner of Somerset. Hair cut, coffee group and lunch with a GN friend today. Best get moving. Happy birthday to Mr lester, birthdays do come around . Agree bus pases are a lifeline for many mick, social isolation is the cause of many ills, have you thought of seeking support from your MP? Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.

`Morning all.

The usual grey start but it soon warms up.

Another one of those days when I don`t quite know where to start and feeling like something the cat dragged in does not fill me with optimism.........but there we go,been here before and got through the day!!!

Birthday wishes to your DH Kitty....is he stating to feel his years?

Have a pleasing day and hope those temeratures are not over demanding!

Morning All warm here already in South Wales . I have travelled back to spend the week with my best friend and then catching up with other friends whilst I'm here. Have settled in Surrey but do miss Wales. Am having a lazy start then meeting a friend for lunch later. Have a good day everybody.

Good morrning from sunny Lancashire. I have the day to myself, will give all chores a miss, they won't be going anywhere. Will use my bus pass for a trip to the coast I think. Good luck with the petition Mick. How long till you retire gilly, if you dont mind me asking?
Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick and all. Hot and sticky here, although in bed with a cuppa and the fan, it's quite pleasant.
Mick, re the bus passes, I certainly would pay an amount, such as £10.00 per year. Mind you, someone is bound to say that the cost of admin, will cancel it all out!
Nannytopsy, no housework, ironing, or gardening, just chill.
Happy birthday Mr Kittylester, and good luck to all those looking after GC.
Have a good day all
Annie, gee up, where are you?

Only Around 11 years to go Nana3 (assuming I make it and they don’t move the goalposts again) . My big problem is that DH and I have over a 10 year age gap and we planned to retire when he was 70 and I was 60 . That is now out of the window but I can’t see him being able to work in a heavy physical job as he does at the moment until he is 77+ .

I think 50p per trip is fair and won’t involve any admin whatsoever .

Good. morning.
Sitting eating breakfast in our ☀️ garden. Looks like another hot day.
We shall be busy today. Both DGS here and my brother and SIL visiting. Hope to have a little trip out to a local craft/gift shop and a cuppa in the cafe.

Good morning all x good morning Auntyflo x

No idea what the weather is like here in Mid Wales, still in bed, blackout blind and blackout curtains on window.

good morning.
Sunny in this corner of Somerset, this morning.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another 30 degrees plus day. So looking forward to the temperature drop tomorrow.
Early shop and then taking it easy in the heat.
I am the same age as Gillybob and as a non driver I would love a bus pass. The fares here are extortionate so I'd be happy to pay 50p.
