Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dull and misty but a dry start here in Brackley this morning.
Usual day of housework, then Buckingham and Bicester.
Coffee in my favourite cafes in those towns.

know where "That Place" is that you mention on occasions
I'm mystified too!. Only thing I can think of, from personal experience, is the outside loo! They used to be very common "oop North"! grin

Good morning from east London, bright and sunny at the moment. Fantastic result in the tennis match, the team returned to winning form. We didn’t win a single match last season and so have dropped down a division. Back to earth with the weekly shop, school pick up then book club tonight. Have a good day.

Hi Gillybob. I am rather curious and inquisitive to know where "That Place" is that you mention on occasions.
I apologise in advance if I have caused you any discomfort by my enquiry. thanks

Good morning all, started off sunny here in Devon but becoming hazy, might stay fine/might not. Ironing to do & plenty to do in the garden, if it stays fine the gardening will win. flowers for all that are having a difficult time.

Good morning all from a sunny SE. Rarely post on here as I'm a late riser. Good luck to you, janclem. DD commutes from Brighton to London and has had some fraught experiences. Went to a NT property near here yesterday with DH,DD DGS and his friend. Lovely rhododendrons, wisteria and tulips. Best wishes to all who are sad, worried or ill.

good morning from a sunny Brighton. I'm on a train to work in London - freelance but semi-detached is my description. semi-detached from the world of work and equally so from retirement! a foit in both camps...

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. Heating still on.
I was all ready to walk into town for a mooch around but the shops when a message arrived saying that a parcel would be arriving...not expected until the weekend.
So I will clean and iron and hope it arrives early so I can get my walk in before DH gets home from fishing.

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning All x
From another sunny morning in the NW. A trip to Asda today cutting through the cemetery by way of exercising my legs which didn't seem to want to work yesterday ! Not a nice feeling when you have circulatory problems. I'm a brisk walker too generally.

Will be thinking of Dragonfly and her appointment so hope all goes to plan there, also anyone else who has anxieties about one thing or another.

Good morning from a bright Aberdeenshire. The mutt and I are going to the woods for his usual romp and chase. Yesterday he met a Newfie/St. Bernard cross, the Little and Large of the dog world!
Last night, I took some pots of stuff out of the freezer...today we are going to play the 'what is it?' game. Tattie soup and Apple sauce look very similar... I must learn to write labels!
Have a good day everyone.

Goodmorning Mick and all.
Best wishes and thoughts to dragonfly, and all who are not having a good day, for whatever reason.

Beautiful sunny morning here at the moment and hoping it lasts all day as playing my first bowls match of the season this afternoon. Currently waiting for workmen to arrive to complete a job in our front room. Once they arrive i can get on with doing a few jobs in the greenhouse, because i know the minute i step out the back they will arrive!!/Have a great day everyone.

Morning all from a misty South Notts. I tackled the ironing earlier so that's one job ticked off the list.
Lunch with an old school friend later.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Sprout Tue 30-Apr-19 08:37:26

Morning everyone not so bad here in Kent. Hope it will brighten up later the grass needs cutting otherwise I won't be able to see the dogs as they are little ones. Going shopping first though. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all misty start to day in the NE. Have hospital appointment today so rare day off work. Finally get last bit done blowing tests nothing major just to get asthma under control hopefully my winters seem to be getting longer chest wise!! Hopefully get some work done this morning ironing etc but might make way for cuppa I garden later if weather turns. Good day to all.

Good Morning , wet here , not as cold as I expected . We went to see the Walled Garden at Hillsborough Castle yesterday, it was a cold drizzly day but we had a window of dry weather and thoroughly enjoyed our day . The gardens are lovely , lots of renovations still going on , we had some chats with people working in the Gardens and the Cafe , all really interesting and enjoying their work . One man gave us good advice and took us up to the Castle in the Golf buggy and showed us the best way to walk back down so we saw some beautiful vistas
Thoughts with dragonfly and Marydoll today xxx

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all. I should be up and about as the bin men came really early this morning, and woke us up, but can't get my act together, yet.
Housework to flit through and volunteering this afternoon, I do look forward to that.
Dragonfly, good luck with your appointment., and best wishes to Marydoll.
Hope the sun appears soon and makes us all, who are a bit down, feel better.

Mapleleaf Tue 30-Apr-19 08:07:16

Good morning,
Still misty here in South Yorkshire, but it is supposed to brighten up a bit later.
Meeting my friend this afternoon for a coffee and chat.
Supermarket this morning if I can motivate myself to go, though it won't harm if I wait until tomorrow.
Did well yesterday with the filing and shredding, so a job well done. I really must try to do it more regularly though, so it doesn't become a big job. ?
Thinking of you today, dragonfly ?, and Marydoll, I hope you are starting to feel a bit better and the hospital have sorted your meds for you.
Take care, everyone. I hope anyone feeling low or unwell soon feels brighter. ?

ninathenana Tue 30-Apr-19 07:51:30

Morning all.
Grey and dull in Kent. Hopeful it will clear like yesterday when there wasn't a cloud in the sky from about 11am.
Taking DH to gardening job and then food shopping. Usual Tuesday routine.
dragonfly my thoughts are with you.

Good morning to you all, an hour later than you Gagagran, and the sun has at last broken through on my part of the south coast. I have been busy searching the web for a suitable birthday gift for my daughter, think I found it. Off to another coffee morning this morning, it is becoming a habit, and had a lovely lunch out with the some of the same group yesterday. Miss the company of my lovely husband, funny how you can be lonely in a crowd. Enjoy your days, if you can.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Looking like another gorgeous day here.
Thinking of Marydoll and Dragonfly

Its misty in my bit of Leicestershire too, *dragonfky! Will be thinking of you this morning.

ginny there is evidence that the effects of a happy experience can last for ages afterwards for people with dementia so you are doing a good thing even if your friend doesn't really recall who you are.

NannyJan53 Tue 30-Apr-19 07:33:14

Good Morning from a bright and sunny Black Country.

No real plans today, so will go with the flow, and probably phone my friend who came back from a holiday in California at the weekend.

Thinking of you today Dragonfly

Hoping Marydoll is back with us soon

Good Morning from a sunny S Welsh coast. Woke at 6 but then went back to sleep, not like me. Having a cuppa, there's nothing like the first cup of tea of the day is there?

DH having a tooth extracted this morning and the mobile hairdresser at 10 am. Hope your dental appointment goes well Beechnut
A Happy Birthday to Evie ??? Gilly

Have a good day all and enjoy your coffees * Mick*
