Morning Mick and everyone. Nice and sunny in Kent this morning hope it lasts. Thinking of you all that are not well and going for treatment. My H went for Chemo 4 sessions he was so brave. Quiet day again one little dog went to my granddaughters for couple of days really miss him but back today. He is her dog but lives in a flat so not good for the dog. Anyway hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning happy birthday harrigran have a lovely day!?? agree with gillybob about our ne system will be speaking to my son about the buses as he works in HR there! Spoils nice night. Have lovely day all off out for lunch with friends can't wait!! X

gilly what a shame that GC's evening ended with transport difficulties. The powers that be should not allow several big events on the same day.
I have just heard that a lot of our roads are closed today, typically between where my sisters and I live, so they are going to have problems getting here.
Happy birthday to Marmight.

Sorry, Harrigan, I missed you saying it was your birthday. Many happy returns. ????

Good morning from a brilliantly sunny Aberdeenshire...not a cloud in the sky. Usual romp in the woods for the mutt...he does like to meet all his chums. He will be missed by many when he goes to Singapore. I think the garden beckons today as I want to get as much done before chemo starts next week as I shall probably feel rubbish.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all you lovely people from me, here in South Manchester. I do love this gentle and welcoming thread - thanks Mick! I really like knowing where you are writing from, what the weather is like and if you have plans for the day.

It’s gorgeous here already - a perfect morning. This afternoon we pick my father up and then a five minute drive over to our youngest daughter’s. She & her husband have invited us all to lunch and hopefully the 6y old and 2y old can get a bit of play time in the garden.

Happy birthday harrigran I hope you have a lovely day with your family.

Loved your descriptive post DoraMarr. - I felt as though I was looking out of your window with you. I love Cheltenham it’s full of charm.

Whatta nightmare gillybob I bet it was quite stressful driving into a super busy city centre (or trying to get there) at that time of night. A very frustrating situation for so many people.

You will be feeling fragile Marydoll what you’ve been through was scary. I hope each day that passes by brings you better health.

Right, I’m off to put the kettle on (again). I do like my tea!

Happy birthday Harri. What a nightmare in Newcastle!
After a long morning at eye casualty yesterday, I had an unspecified foreign body removed from my eyelid and the scratches to the cornea should start to heal. It still feels just as sore ...

Greyduster Sun 12-May-19 09:04:21

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Maple has our weather bang to rights, and we are going to the Botanical Gardens later and then lunch at a local restaurant - if we can find a parking space.....
Happy Birthday, Harri!??
Have a good day, folks.

Good morning from a beautiful sunny NE coast. The sea is glistening. Hopefully I will get caught up on a bit gardening today, with 2 tired helpers in tow.

DGD2 (11) and DGS (9) are still both fast asleep after what turned out to be a very late night for them. DH took them to see the WWE wrestling (which they both love) at the Arena and although it finished quite late (10.30) they planned to walk to the nearest Metro station and get as far home as possible and I would meet them in the car. But typically the “not fit for purpose” Tyne and Wear Metro was suspended leaving tens of thousands of people stranded in the city. There had been a huge rugby match rugby on too so it was chaotic with no replacement buses and taxi queues a mile long.

Anyway, DH phoned me and I set out to get them but there were road closures in place because of the rugby and thousands of people just milling about not sure what on earth they were going to do. Anyway cutting a long story a little shorter, they ended up walking over the Newcastle bridge (almost midnight at this point) and I met them on the other side. The children (and we) got to bed after 1am !

It didn’t half spoil what had been a very exciting night for the children. Goodness knows how tens of thousands of other people (mostly strangers to the city) would have mangaged . This kind of thing is fairly typical with the rubbish transport system in this area.....and they bleat on about climate change....angry doesn’t cover it ! I’m sure the organisers of the rugby and the wrestling will think twice of standing such huge events in Newcastle again. I know I would.

Rant over !

I do hope you manage a little outing to your DS’s house Marydoll but do take it easy. Baby steps.

Hope you have a lovely birthday Harri you certainly have a lovely day for it. smile

Have a good Sunday everyone x

Good Morning from sunny Brighton. Sunday lunch followed by a trip to the circus with the DGC. DGD’s Frozen birthday party yesterday was amazing!

Happy Birthday harrigan.
Hope you feel better marydoll.

Good morning All x
Beautifully sunny and bright this morning so will finish off the washing.
A roast beef dinner here for later and a chunk of my lemon drizzle cake.
I didn't feel particularly clever yesterday so threw a couple of paracetamol down my neck and am not so bad today. I just couldn't get warm and was glad went I went to bed !

A Happy Birthday to Harrigran, hope you have a lovely day.

I also hope everyone's day goes well.

Happy Birthday Harrigran ???

cornergran Sun 12-May-19 08:46:04

Morning Mick, morning All. It’s a sunny start in our corner of Somerset, a bit chilly though. A little garden tidying for us today once Mr C has stirred. Happy birthday harri. ??. Hope you can get out for a little while marydoll and Sunday is kind to everyone.

BlueSapphire Sun 12-May-19 08:39:46

Good morning all from clear blue skies in Northampton.
A leisurely morning, and then thinking of having a trip (two buses) over to the town park to the open-air art exhibition. May also catch the silver band on the bandstand and get a wine from the park cafe! It's better than staying in on such a nice day, and the garden is too wet to do much.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Mapleleaf Sun 12-May-19 08:38:30

Good morning everyone,
It’s a lovely , bright Sunday morning here in South Yorkshire. Still a bit chilly, but expected to warm up a bit.
Church this morning and pottering in the garden after lunch.
Marydoll, if you can manage it, a visit to your DS for half an hour or so might be just the ticket. ?
Hope everyone has a nice day.

harrigran Sun 12-May-19 08:33:31

Good morning, beautiful sunny day here in the NE. It is my birthday , DS and family will be coming for lunch and my sisters and BILs for coffee and cake later.

Marydoll Sun 12-May-19 08:21:34

Good morning from a bright and sunny Glasgow.
Slept badly, so a quiet day for me.
I'm desperate to work in the garden, but just not up to it.

DS1 ( who lives ten mins away), has suggested we come up for an hour, just to get me out of the house.
I will see how I feel later.

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

Pittcity Sun 12-May-19 08:20:04

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Has spring sprung again?
Pottering in the garden and Sunday roast today.

Justme67 Sun 12-May-19 07:56:43

Good morning to you all, we at last have a bright and sunny morning, which helps to get me going, I am not sure what I shall be doing, but the garden calls, just wish I could do more than half an hour at a time. I might get the buggie out and try to get to B&Q for some weed killer, we shall see. Enjoy your days.

1inamillion Sun 12-May-19 07:49:05

Good Morning. It is a lovely, sunny morning on S Welsh coast and so mild. A family BBQ later, my contribution is stuffed peppers with wild rice, tomatoes and feta.

A pleasant day to all.

Brunette10 Sun 12-May-19 07:40:39

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It’s a lovely, quiet sunny morning here in Fife. We had DGS1 overnight so up early today and washing is already out. Not sure what the rest of the day will bring. Hope today is kind to all.

Mythbirtthedragon Sun 12-May-19 07:37:06

Good morning from east London, where it’s sunny and bright. Amazing contrasts in the weather yesterday, tipping down in the morning then late pm sitting out in the sunshine having post match tea and cakes. DP needs a walk today, we may just stray over to the Kent marshes. Like you, Mick, curry is on the menu; DS is home for a few days and feels like a change from pasta bake. Have a good day.

DoraMarr Sun 12-May-19 07:32:30

Good morning from a beautiful sunny Birmingham! From my windows I can see a glorious stretch of green in Cannon Hill park, and the other way the tower blocks and skyscrapers are poking up from the trees like towers in a mediaeval painting.
I’m off to Cheltenham today to meet my mother and sister. Spending the night in a nice hotel and coming home tomorrow.
Have a good day, everyone!
