Good Evening Mike; Enjoy your holiday and if you get to B'mouth keep a look out for all those beige cardis! grin
You could be there in time to see The Cherries play Fulham, although it would be a tame affair seeing as how Fulham are already relegated. Never mind, hope for some warm Riviera- type weather and take care.

Good morning all, beautiful & sunny here in Devon. Staying at home to avoid the traffic, Moor & Coast will both be busy. I'd rather stay & potter about in my garden. Have a lovely day whatever you're doing.

Cornergrans 12 week wait for physio isn't that bad as I've been waiting 9 months for physio for my hip!!!GP says there's a long wait in my area every time I ask about it.

Good morning all from the train approaching Durham. It is warm and sunny.
It looks like the whole country is on the move.
Have a lovely Easter weekend everyone.

Good morning all from a bright South Notts.
Put your feet up after all that hard work, Jillybob and enjoy a nice cup of tea.
In this neck of the woods many people work on Good Friday and take Easter Monday and Tuesday off - but not everyone. I had to dash out with the dustbin at 7.30 this morning with my coat over my dressing gown as I'd clean forgot! Next week it has to go out on Friday for Saturday emptying. Not as confusing as when I lived in Devon which had a rather convoluted system.

Good morning.

It’s a beautiful morning here. Plans are to do a bit more in the garden and then relax and enjoy it!

?*Jacq10*. A time of mixed emotions for you, but you will be able to draw on lots of happy memories and the love and support of your family and friends. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Spain.

BlueSapphire, I was in Salzburg a couple of years ago and thought it was a beautiful city. We had a guided tour which was very helpful, then some free time to explore on our own.

Glad to hear that your gardening endeavours proceeded without interruption from those unpleasant neighbours, Gilly. It sounds as if you have achieved a lot.

Enjoy your trip, Mick. Looks as if the weather is going to be a treat for it!

Hope today is kind to everyone.

Goodmorning Mick and all. Lovely day here.
Going to the Good Friday Service at 3.
Have a great weekend everyone !

To all those wishing me well in my DD’s garden, thank you ? I just can’t wait for it to be finished so they can enjoy it . x

A late good morning from a sunny NE. I was awake most of the night with horrible stomach pains, thankfully DH doesn't have a hospital appointment today.
Think I will have a pedicure and nail polish in readiness for this lovely weather we are promised.
Good job gilly, the garden will be lovely for your DD and DGD ?

Good morning from a sunny NE. My boys too are at their beloved Sunderland today so will make most of the time alone to catch up on chores but also telly! Lovely to be off work and have nice choices. Need food shop as eldest son called last night which was lovely but meant to do aldi shop on way back from work!! Jacq10 sending you virtual hugs? Have a good Friday all enjoy the sunshine if you have it!

Good Morning from a bright and sunny Black Country.

No real plans today, Partner is now off work until Tuesday, so a relaxing one I think. Probably make a start on the garden.

Gilly you certainly worked so hard in your DD's garden, and so glad the nasty neighbours backed off this time.

Loving hearing about your cruise BlueSapphire, you are visiting lots of places I would like to see.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Sad because I can’t go to Church

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning from what looks to be a sunny Aberdeenshire, once the haar has burned off. More gardening today and hope to finish the seed trays, then I can attack everywhere with the power hose, whoopee! Family is flitting into their new Singapore apartment today, so chaos reigns. The kids will be glad to get their bikes etc. when the container arrives. The pheasants are shrieking for their breakfast so must feed them before the mutt gets up.
Have a good day everyone.

Good to hear the garden work done gillybob without any confrontation. Bet you felt a bit nervous when you first pulled up! Well done too sweeping up afterwards.

dragonfly46 Fri 19-Apr-19 08:35:59

So pleased the neighbours stayed clear Gilly. Maybe the management company rang them. Anyway glad you got the work done without a hitch.

Alygran Fri 19-Apr-19 08:34:31

Good morning from sunny North Yorkshire. DD1 and DGS went home yesterday so a quiet start here. Reading in church this afternoon. A few bits and bobs to do and a cake to make for Sunday when I head down to Derbyshire to my family and more grandma time. Hope the day is good to you.

gillybob Fri 19-Apr-19 08:22:57

Good morning from the NE coast. It’s a beautiful bright and sunny start to what promises to be a lovely day.

Went to DD’s house straight from work yesterday and managed to get 2 van loads of garden rubbish to the tip which has put a huge dent in it thank goodness. O problems from the horrible neighbours (but we were very conscious of being watched from the upstairs window. I went out and swept most of the car park just before we left just so they don’t have anything else to shout about....horrible people ) Maybe just one last trip to go and then we can see the wood for the trees... literally. The garden is looking better already with the lovely new fence and all the ugly climbers pulled out and gone and we can even see the pretty little tree in the corner now. Nice new shed all built and painted and the old one was taken away by a lovely lady from Freecycle. We are hiring a rotavator next week as there is an awful lot of digging and turning over still to do. Then there’s a patio and new lawn area to prepare and lay.... then finally DD and baby girl can enjoy their new garden and grandma and grandad can relax....phew

It football for my son and two of his children today too Greyduster they are Sunderland season ticket holders and they are desperate to see them promoted !

I hope you continue to enjoy your holiday in Malaga Urmstongran I can see the sea too but the North Sea is not quite so “sparkling blue” as the Mediterranean grin

I am so glad you are having good weather for your Danube cruise BlueSapphire it sounds amazing. Have a great trip to Salzburg today.

Hope Good Friday is kind to everyone whatever you are doing x

Good morning Jacq10, it's good to see you posting again, but I'm so sorry about the circumstances. A sad time for you. flowers, but a time to remember all those happy times with him.
I was very touched by you telling us about your dear husband on our last Glasgow meet up and hope to see you again soon.
Mean while, try enjoy the the time with your family and celebrate your obviously, very happy marriage.

Good morning everyone it’s lovely and sunny in Surrey this morning. I am doing on of the readings in church this morning then an Easter craft afternoon with the grandchildren and tea in a local pub with family and friends. Hope you all have a nice day

jacq10 Fri 19-Apr-19 08:11:38

Good morning I am also in Spain on what would have been my Golden Wedding Day. I am here with DD and DSiL and we have scattered DH ashes where we have spent many happy times. It has been hard to be here but meeting old friends and neighbours has been good and I am pleased we did it. I don't post very often but have been glad many times to log into Gransnet and get comfort from reading many of the posts.

Susan56 Fri 19-Apr-19 08:11:29

Good morning from Shropshire.A bright start to the day.
DD2,SIL and baby are off for a photo shoot this morning then we are joining them and mum for lunch hopefully joined by DD1 and DGD.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. It's like Summer heresunshine
Ironing and shopping today with a bit of sitting in the sun with a cuppa thrown in!

ninathenana Fri 19-Apr-19 08:06:04

Good morning everyone.
The sun is out in Kent and it's warming nicely.
I envy all of you with plans for the weekend. I did briefly consider a tip out but Kent roads are so horrendous when the sun is out and it's holiday time. So if it's as warm as we are forecast I will be sitting in the garden.
Safe journey if your traveling and have a good day all.

Nannytopsy Fri 19-Apr-19 07:55:12

Good morning! I have just had a video call from DGS to ask for a chocolate cake so I know what I have to do today! ?
