Maw that is a wonderful book. I saw it performed at Stratford a couple of years ago and Hilary Mantel was in the audience.

Good morning all
It looks sunny outside and seems pleasantly spring like.
I am having a duvet morning as I pulled a calf muscle last week and by the end of my day in London yesterday I could hardly walk. Rest seems to help -so that is my excuse and I am sticking to it!
Literature class this afternoon”Bring Up the Bodies” by Hilary Mantel.( For once I have read the book but am frantically trying to have a quick refresher.)
I am taking two friends and will see others I know there so I know I will enjoy that!

Good morning. Cool start in east London but if it’s like yesterday, it’ll be warm very soon. Quiet day to start -my turn to miss tennis - so should turn my eye to domestic things. Mustn’t do too much though, need to save some energy for an ex-colleague’s leaving do tonight. Have a good day.

Good morning from an overcast Devon, maybe sun laterhmm. Ironing to finish today but first of all I am going to sort out kitchen cupboards as they are fairly empty before I go shopping tomorrow. Might get out in the garden this afternoon if I move myself.

Happy May Day all flowers

Good morning,
It's a bright, sunny morning so far even though the forecast says it should be dull and grey. I suppose that will arrive later.
A few outdoor jobs to be done today, then a spot of baking ready for SiL's to have with their cup of tea this evening.
Happy May Day, everyone. ?

Good morning All x
Slightly dull and drizzly looking today so far, glad I went to Asda yesterday and got that over and done with.

I feel worn out just reading Gillybob's tasks and wonder how I once had the energy to work, see to GC then run for the bus. I certainly couldn't even envisage hurrying anywhere now, don't know if it's rank idleness or old age ! A bit of both smile

Must get washed and dressed ready to start the day whatever it brings. Hope everyone's day goes to plan.

Have a happy day everyone.smile

Good morning everyone from a glorious Malaga. We are homeward bound this afternoon with a very civilised flight time of 5:30pm. I shall miss the sunshine (although I have read it’s going to be sunny in the U.K. starting this Bank Holiday weekend) but I’m looking forward to giving the grandchildren a squidge tomorrow tea time!

You made me laugh Beechnut with your punch punch! Brought back playground memories.

Just reading about your day yesterday made me exhausted Gillybob! You must have amazing energy levels. I admire all you do for your family.

Right. Best crack on tidying up, then breakfast and shower as I like to get to the airport early for the hassle of ‘belts and shoes’!

Good morning everyone; it's a lovely bright sunny day in Northampton, and I have just put a load of washing in.

Had a really good outing to Rushden Lakes yesterday. Got my refund for returned item at M&S, and bought a new pair of white(!) summer jeans for the princely sum of £5! Apparently I had a 20% discount, and then a £10 credit voucher. A good bargain. Also got a nice t shirt.

Treated myself to lunch at Zizzi, which was very good.

However shine taken off a bit by absolute gridlock in the town centre when I got back to Northampton and didn't get home till gone 6.30pm.

Few jobs to do around house this morning, then health walk after lunch; need to lose those pounds I put on on the river cruise!

Just been listening to the lovely Mayday madrigals from Oundle School on local radio. Remember doing that at college - happy days..

oldgaijin Wed 01-May-19 08:35:56

Good morning from a grey, overcast Aberdeenshire. It's a bit chilly too, especially outside in your nightlife feeding the pheasants! Another woodland romp this morning for the mutt then it's off to beastly Tesco as Mother Hubbard would be proud of my cupboard.
Ceramics class this evening, which is more of a paint and blether, but good fun.
Have a good day everyone.

Sprout Wed 01-May-19 08:34:01

Morning everyone sun is shining in Kent this morning. My grandson is 21 yrs today my goodness where has the years gone. There will be plenty of drinking with his friends tonight. As for me house work and the gardener is coming this morning yaaah Hope you all have a great day what ever you are doing.

Ginny42 Wed 01-May-19 08:28:45

Good morning and a happy May Day to all. It's raining in Cheshire.

Sorry to read so many people are not well or recovering from dental treatment. Hope today sees an improvement. Good news from your oncologist dragonfly. I hope your DD's operation goes well today. She must have suffered a lot.

Dora new shoes and queuing? Are you sure? I must check the Leonardo exhibition. I have seen some before, but I might make the trip just to stand in front of them and think 'HE' did this!

Mass production of scones today for a charity event tomorrow. I shall have to sample some of course. wink

1inamillion Wed 01-May-19 08:11:35

Enjoy the Leonardo drawings DoraMarr they've been in Cardiff for the last few months but I haven't been able to see them.

DoraMarr Wed 01-May-19 08:07:12

Good morning from a gloriously sunny Birmingham! I’m going to see the Leonardo drawings in Birmingham art gallery today. I hope I don’t have to queue for long. I’ll meet a friend for lunch there. I might wear my new shoes!

Harris27 Wed 01-May-19 08:04:19

Morning all back to work today after hospital appointment for breathing tests. Will have to wait for results via consultant but trying now just to get back to work and enjoy the Bit sunshine we had yesterday and hope it returns. Happy may day all.

Grammaretto Wed 01-May-19 07:33:11

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. I'm about to catch the bus for Dundee where I hope to meet up with other GNers. 9 degrees here but it may heat up.
Happy May Day to you all.

MiniMoon Wed 01-May-19 07:31:55

Morning all. Up early to tend to DH. He had a bilateral inguinal hernia repair yesterday and is going stir crazy. He's such an active man, very early riser, that he is taking badly having to do nothing. He's not even supposed to lift the kettle!
It's grey and damp in my corner of Northumberland, hope the sun manages an appearance as I have to go out later. Lots to do.
Have a good day everyone.

Brunette10 Wed 01-May-19 07:31:05

Good Morning from a dull Fife. I hope it will get brighter later on. DGS1 3rd birthday today so we are venturing out to a farm adventure area, been before so it's quite good and better when it's not so busy. Sorry to hear of your bad night Kitty, stay strong. gillybob - whew! Hope everyone has a good day.

Pittcity Wed 01-May-19 07:30:09

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
Usual Wednesday coffee and chat in town this morning.

cornergran Wed 01-May-19 07:24:03

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset. Looks a bit miserable out there. Bit of cleaning this morning followed by GP appointment before Granny detail later. Much less hectic than your day yesterday gilly, think a medal is well deserved. Be sensible kitty, most things can wait until you are properly better. Hope Wednesday is kind to everyone.

gillybob Wed 01-May-19 07:23:32

Oh dear dragonfly 40 is very young to undergo a hip replacement isn’t it? I can understand you being stressed, worrying about your DD together with your own health worries. I’m so glad your app with the oncologist went better than anticipated.

Well breakfast is almost over for the brood (it’s like a cafe ) and now trying to encourage the oldest TO GET READY ! She is 10 times worse than her younger siblings. It’s like dead slow to stop !

Bye bye for now everyone x

Gagagran Wed 01-May-19 07:19:55

Morning all!

Late up this morning after an achey night tossing and turning. Blame the gardening yesterday.

It looks bright outside so hopefully we shall enjoy more nice weather. It lifts everyone's spirits to see the sunshine and everything blossoming.

Choir this evening and DH is out with his bike club today so shall have a restful day if possible.
