Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dull grey start here in Brackley with mist, quiet day for me.
Some housework, and tidy up.

Good news, Gagagran. ?

Good news everyone!

Rang the dentist's at 8am when they open and got an appointment for 10.25. Thought I'd better take the tooth with me and am so glad I did - it was a crown! He titivated it and stuck it back on! So out of there by 10.45 all mended! Hurrah!

Good morning from Leeds.
Lovely walk around Roundhay Park ( arguably the best Park in England) and now a tasty latte in the cafe overlooking the lake.
Hope everyone has a peaceful Monday x

Good morning from a rather murky looking South Yorkshire.
Going to coffee morning shortly, then when I get back I've quite a bit of filing & shredding to do. My intention is always to do it straight away, but that never seems to happen so I end up with a big job... (Even though I've gone paperless for some things ?).
We had a wren build a nest in our hanging basket once, but it was never used. I think I've read somewhere that the male builds several to impress his mate with one of them. She obviously felt the hanging basket one was not such a good choice...
Right, I'm off now. Thinking of you today, NanKate ?

Good morning from an almost sunny Aberdeenshire.
The mutt is wee'd, breakfasted and waiting for a corner of toast before we go off to the woods. After Saturday's rain, everything looks so fresh and green and there are at least three woodpeckers nesting, judging by the wood dust on the ground. It should be a gardening day and must cut the grass...or buy a goat! Marydoll, come home soon, we miss your Glasgow wit.
Have a good day all.

Good morning, grey and cold in east London but what else can be expected when it’s our first tennis league match of the summer tonight. Off to do some shopping as I offered to do the tea for tonight. School pick up to do in between times. Have a good day

Morning Mick and all. Bit of a grey day here too today with light drizzle in the air which i noticed when i went to feed birds in the garden. Planning on not setting foot outside the house today.Will be busy doing housework and ironing of necessary garments the rest can just be put in drawers and airing cupboard. I also plan to do some paperwork for the Bowls club and sort out my uniform for my first match tomorrow. I have a knitting project which requires sewing up which i want to complete too. Also plan on cooking a lovely roast chicken dinner as i was out all over the weekend and meals were a bit hit and miss, cornflakes with banana for me yesterday for dinner, well i was still full from the meal i had Saturday night as i went to an Indian Dinner and dance and had the best time ever!!!!smile

Would love a bird box , unfortunately so would the cats!

Morning all from an overcast South Notts. Nothing much going on today but a short trip out and that mountain of ironing can't be ignored for much longer.
Hope it goes all right for you at the dentist Gaga - later on this month it'll be my turn in the black chair.
Trust the funeral goes all right Nankate.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Good morning from a dull start in Perthshire.

Putting up with a niggling right shoulder hoping it doesn’t become any worse. Calcific tendonitis flares up in both shoulders occasionally, fingers crossed the left one doesn’t start too. A day of resting said shoulder hoping that does the trick.

Hope things are improving for you Marydoll

Have a pleasant day hopefully all.

Morning all. Dull day in this part of Kent. Taken dogs for walks now having that first cuppa lovely. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from Colchester where the mist has cleared and it is now bright but overcast. Heating is bumping on morning and evening to take the chill off.
Walking Netball this morning followed by book club and coffee.

Morning from a dull NE had lovely weekend back to work today but trying to get some holiday booked in fingers crossed. Saw illegal eagles at Sunderland empire they were amazing lots if Oldies enjoying themselves!! Fab! Have a lovely Monday all.

harrigran Mon 29-Apr-19 08:08:35

Good morning from an overcast NE. No plans for today as DH has hospital appointment for a couple of hours in the middle of the day.
Thinking of you Marydoll.

EllanVannin Mon 29-Apr-19 08:05:40

Good morning All x
A lovely sunny morning so far, so that calls for some washing to be done. Must also run the hoover over the place too it gives you more incentive to do something when the weather's bright, otherwise nothing gets done.
Blimey, I can see a cobweb ! Feather duster at the ready.

Hope there is improvement with those who are unwell and I really feel for gillybob and her " place ", I can't think of a worse feeling.sad

Take care everyone and enjoy the day-----if you can.

Good morning everyone from a dull, grey Kent. I'm spending a few days with DD2 and two DGD'S. DD has just taken DGD1 to school, DGD2 and I are watching children's tv, naughty nanny !!! Food shopping later.
Have a good day everyone.

Brunette10 Mon 29-Apr-19 07:37:56

Good Morning from an overcast Fife. Off with DD today for a Spa Day. My birthday present from DD so looking forward to it. Thinking of you Marydoll. Hope today is good for everyone.

gillybob Mon 29-Apr-19 07:36:20

A bit of a grey start here on the NE coast. A bit like my Monday morning mood.

Off to “that place” in about an hours time and the thought is making me feel physically sick..... picking the 3 older DGC up from school today then I will have them until Wednesday tea time.

Missing Marydoll too. Hope she is back with us soon.

Have a good day everyone x

Good morning all, sunny at the moment in Lancashire. Reading group at the local library for me today.
The birds in my garden love the RSPB fat balls, more expensive but worth it. I've only seen a wren once though.
Good luck with the dentist Gaga.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from Malaga. As it’s Monday it means itks my ladies wine afternoon at 2pm. Yippee! 6 of us again today but 2 different ladies from last week. Only 3 of the ladies are ex pats - the rest of us dip in and out when we’re over.
?

Hope Monday is kind to us all whatever plans we have, or none. x

1inamillion Mon 29-Apr-19 07:08:49

Good Morning all. Overcast here on S Welsh coast and the wind has died down.
Hope you get an appointment at the dentist Gaga, DH is going tomorrow.

Have a good day all.

NanKate Mon 29-Apr-19 07:07:53

Morning Mick and All.

Back home from our hols most things packed away now just need to refill the fridge.

We have a lovely little bird box which has housed wrens over the years. We saw a couple of wrens check it out a week or so back but we suspect it didn’t meet there exacting standards ?

Going to a friend’s son’s funeral today I hope I can hold it together. I am far too emotional.

If you are reading this thread Marydoll we are missing you. ?

ninathenana Mon 29-Apr-19 07:06:59

Morning all.

"Hot sunny day" I've forgotten what that's like Grammaretto I've had the heating on the past two days.
Kent seems a little warmer today but the skies are grey.
Envious of people with nesting birds. We have two boxes that DH made and neither has ever been occupied.
I don't know what my day will bring, I hope yours brings you joy.
