Morning Mick and everyone.
It's overcast and quite gloomy right now here on the south coast after another beautiful day yesterday.
We saw HMS Queen Elizabeth leave Portsmouth on the high tide. A great sight, with crowds there to wave her off to Rosyth. Glad we went.
We did more gardening in the afternoon so outdoor chores are up to date for now. DH has a trip to the tip planned this morning with bags full of clippings etc,
Hope the day is kind to us all.
Feeling any better kitty? Hope so.
Good morning everyone from a very wet South Manchester! No matter as this afternoon we fly out to our little apartment in Malaga for a month. By this evening we hope to be in our local tapas bar sharing a bottle of Rioja. I can’t wait but I know I shall miss the smalls!
?
Wishing everybody a good Tuesday whether you have plans or not.
Morning Mick gaga and a to follow
Thick fog here in N Kent, I can here the ship's horns blowing.
Second attempt at getting a blood test today. Let's hope I can get parked this time. Then into town for a few bits.
Have a good day all.
Morning Urmstongran 
Oh bless that’s nice of you ninathenana

Good morning everyone from a col, rainy Birmingham. I had a lovely picnic yesterday at Packwood House, and a walk through the forest trail, in beautiful weather. Today looks like a good day for housework, then I have an Italian group meeting this afternoon.
Morning all from a very grey North Leicestershire.
The start of another carer's course today and this time a bit closer to home.
I'm fine thank you gaga, just lacking energy. But, yesterday, I cleared my desk and feel better for being a bit more organised. I would have enjoyed seeing the ship too and maybe had a tear or two.
Enjoy your visit urmston, will we hear from you?
Good luck with your blood taking nina. Parking at all our hospitals is awful too.
Enjoy your days everyone.
IRS now training- hard!!
Good morning everyone from a very grey Northampton. Rain is forecast today. Should be doing a health walk but think I'll give it a miss.
Lovely day yesterday; would have been ideal to cut the grass, but lawnmower has broken. Luckily DSil has located a spare part, but can't come and fix it till Sunday. So I sat out in the sun and read! I took my indoor cats outside and they loved sitting in the sun and exploring bits of the garden.
New recipe to try this morning, smoked haddock macaroni cheese, which was in last week's paper. Will make double, one to have today and one to freeze.
Pop down to M&S after lunch to pick up an order.
Hope today goes well for all.
A very quick good morning from the NE coast . Rain most of the night and little sleep again.
I’m soooooo jealous Urmstongran how very lucky you are . Hope you have the best time .
Have a good Monday everyone x
Good Morning from a very rainy and chilly Black Country. It was so sunny yesterday!
Work on the kitchen continues, so I will be off out meeting Mum and her two sisters for lunch (they usually meet up once a month)
Urmstongran we love Malaga, and have been going every September for the past 6 years (we are going to Croatia this year though). There are so many lovely Tapas bars, feeling rather
. Enjoy your stay.
Have a good Tuesday everyone.
Good Morning all and to those who follow. It's a drab morning here in Fife, rained a lot through the night so still quite wet outside. Meeting my cousin this morning for coffee then a friend in the afternoon so quite a busy day. Yes Malaga sounds nice Urmstongran, nice to get away to the sun, enjoy. Marydoll I do hope all went well yesterday. Hope today is good to everyone.
Now you've confused me Gilly! It doesn't take much these days.
The woods are looking a bit wet from my windows this morning, but will go walking with my neighbours later. The wild cherries are beautiful as the sunshine has brought the blossoms out. There is that lovely bright green of the new leaves on the trees too and a woodpecker been tapping away for a while now.
Have a good day everyone. x
Ah thanks ladies for your good wishes. Yes we are so very lucky in life and I don’t take it for granted. Yep, I’ll still be posting as we have WiFi in the apartment out there. No respite from me for you lot! x
⛱
Due to go cycling today with U3A group so hope weather picks up a little. Coastal route so nice and flat although 28 miles! Soak in hot bath when I get home!! Have a happy day everyone!
Morning All
Another sunny but decidedly chilly morning here in the north of Norfolk.
Nothing planned for today, may go into town and meet a friend for coffee.
Have a lovely holiday Urmstongran.
Morning Mick, morning All from a very wet corner of Somerset. Coffee with neighbours this morning then Mr C will be tackling the decorating. Hair cut and the ironing for me. Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.
Good morning from sunny Colchester. It's not forecast to last as rain is due later. I'll hang the washing indoors and it's bound to stay dry!
Good Morning.
Have a good time Urmston, enjoy the tapas and Rioja.*
DS has just dropped off the little dog on his way to work. We are dog sitting apparently, a nice surprise.
It is damp and windy with us on S Welsh coast.
Have a good day all.
Good morning all. Looking decidedly grey and chilly outside and rain is forecast. What a change from last week! A month in Malaga sounds perfect - could I carry your cases Urmstongran? I dont take up much room! ? Hope it's a pleasant day for everyone.
Morning Mick and All.
Grey and Cool in the south east today but I know the rain is coming.
We have an interesting speaker coming to our WI today talking about the Dashwood family from West Wycombe Park and maybe the Hell Fire Club where naughty goings on occurred ?
Hope all went well yesterday Mary thinking of you.
Good morning from grey and overcast Shropshire.An ex work colleague is coming round this morning and then we are picking up the new car this afternoon.
Urmstongran,have a lovely time in Malaga,we love it there,feeling slightly envious.
Hope the decorating goes well today corner!
Good morning all from a grey, dreich, piddly wet Aberdeenshire. The mutt and I have come back to bed with a mug of tea and I am enjoying a good read. Think it'll be a binge watch and sewing day, tho' the mutt will need a quick run through the woods. Yesterday, we found part of a stone wall covered in ladybirds...more than could be counted. They must have hibernated under the moss and in nooks and crannies, emerging in the brief sunshine.
Have a good day everyone.
GOod morning from ne. Dull and rainy and feeling rather cold. Sat with vicar last night preparing for Thursday how many memories came flooding back. Anyway off to work to earn my pennies wish I was going with urmstongran! Have a good time life is short!
