Good Morning Tuesday

To Sprout, thank you so much for your welcome message, it is lovely to hear from you.

I'm in central Brittany so only half an hour each way from the channel coast (Binic a lovely beach) and half an hour from the Atlantic Coast (Le Cote Sauvage). It's very rural and quiet. What a great opportunity for your grandchildren to be bi-lingual. Thanks again for your words of welcome.

Welcome Carillon my lovely son lives about half a hour from Brittany. Both my 2 grandchildren go to French speaking schools. They love it although 6 acres of land to look after keeps him busy. But a very warm welcome to you

Auntyflo only just back, so I am very later in replying to you. I don't know why the pool is so cold, I would have thought that warmer water is better to get you moving and exercise the joints. Even the two young physios were complaining!

Morning from the south coast, rainy and overcast here today. My daughter has gone to a childminder for the day, and I've potted my sweet peas and popped them outside to get used to it, have had my food shop delivered and booked someone in to repair my broken extractor fan, as well as arranged to go and see a litter of kittens that we are looking to adopt from a rescue- feeling quite productive today after a few emotionally difficult weeks. May take a trip into town later as I don't get to do that on my own often. Hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday

A late good morning from me.
I’ve been up some time, but faffing about with things!
It’s a nice day so far, sunshine and cloud but warmish. Plan to trim the hedge soon, if I motivate myself enough.
Hope you all have a good day. ?

Thank you Tillybelle it was sad yesterday, but I more or less held it together- except when I glimpsed my friend’s 94 year old Dad as they played “Beautiful” (the theme I believe from The Deerhunter) Seeing others grieving is so upsetting as you know what they are going though, in their case, 70 years of marriage - a lifetime.
I think what you have suffered at the hands of your builders in beyond belief, also that you need to be trying to rectify things yourself. A job for the AC I would have said (but none of my business)
Take it gently.
Wishing everyone a pleasant day - if not necessarily a dry one ?

Morning All. Lovely sunshine in South Notts. The roses smell wonderful, despite being bedraggled and bruised.

Have a good journey Mick and tell us about it!

I hope yesterday went as well as possible for a funeral Maw and that you were able to cope without too much distress.

I hope to try and attack the post evil-builders' assault on my house and do some sorting out again if I can manage it. Hard to move things as even carrying a few books is painful but am determined not to let this get on top of me.

To everyone in pain, lonely or not likely to see anyone today I send special greetings and hope you can find time in the day to enjoy a moment to treat yourself, even if it is just a cup of tea in the sun.

Oh I loved the description of your two poppets Esther1 how cute!

Good morning from east London, bright at the moment but don’t fancy what’s forecast. Feeling slightly sorry for myself as managed to trip over yesterday chasing down a tennis ball and now have strips over my cut eyebrow and various grazed bits. (But nobody noticed if I won the point). Thankful it’s nothing major but I’ve been advised to be sensible and stay off the courts for a week and not to wash my hair so the strips stay dry. DP has offered to show me where the hoover and duster are as I’ll have plenty of spare time now.... School pick up later then rehearsal in Stratford this evening for the massed choir event next week. Have a good day.

Morning all from South Notts, pale sky here, yesterday we had sunshine!
Have been a little industrious (unusual) and have got a very clean bathroom. Will do another room another day.
Expect a visit from sister later this morning.
The last day of steroids after the dental stuff, two more days of antibiotics, then hopefully back to normal - though I'm not sure what that is any more.
Hope all is well with everyone.

A very late good morning, it is sunny and dry here.
Awake all night with pains so have just had a nap.
DH had to get up early as the plumber was coming to service the boiler.
Antiquarian monthly talk tonight, not sure whether I am up to a lecture about health in Victorian times.

Good Morning from a cloudy Surrey. At least it’s warm and dry. Doing housework, then pick up 4 year old GD from nursery then other 4 year old GD from school. I love having 2 child seats in the back of my car, it makes me feel young and useful. The GDs play together well and then they argue but I won’t stand for that and offer to take them both home - and they stare at me with wide eyes and all is peace again. Love being a granny! Love having a house full of toys!

Good morning everyone. Only found the forum yesterday but already know it's a nice place to be.
Misty over Brittany just now and thunder forecast for later.
Jobs today will be neglected a bit because of the cricket, rain permitting!
I have to get into the mini poly tunnel later though because the weeds look like they're from the petrified forest.
If time for recipes today I'm going to try Dried Fig Chutney and Pear and Lemon Jam! Hope everyone enjoys the day.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Really tired this morning, the waiting for the phone call
to say my mother in law has died.

Not raining in Mid Wales - yet

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good Morning from a bright Fife. Overslept once again, tossed and turned whole night as did DH. Got some chores to do this morning then off to meet my cousin for coffee. Will have to try that one Marydoll for DGS1 need something to keep him quite . Hope today is good for everyone.

Good morning to you all,I am earlier than usual today, got up even earlier made myself a cup of tea, and then left it to get cold when I fell asleep again in the arm chair. It was very still here, seemed that even the trees had gone to sleep, I rather think it is the calm before the storm, as we are promised thunder storms throughout the day. Off this morning for coffee with friends.

Good morning All x
So far, it's bright and sunny though there remains to be some threatening clouds around. Dry overnight.

Quite an unexpected evening when it had been quickly arranged to gather together 8 family members to a local pub.
What a fantastic gathering it was too, with some of my step-family along with my 2 D's and SiL ( Aussie's ) It was a good news catchup from all. Made me realise what a lovely family I've got, so proud and so fortunate. Eldest step-GD is 50 this year and still calls me nan as does her brother who's late 40's.

My 3 girls, SiL and myself are out for lunch today so more catching up and generally making the most of having my D and her H short stay in the UK.

Hope everyone else's day goes well.

Morning Michael, Annie to come and all. Dry here, with a bit of weak sun (shh) . Ironing this morning, then mammogram this afternoon. It's the follow up to surgery and radiotherapy that I had last August. Not looking forward to it!!
Am still in bed with my most welcome cuppa, after checking my CC statement, before paying it.
MOMB, hope you enjoy your cycle ride, and don't come home too exhausted.
Lins, why do they have those pools so cold? I used to love a swim, but with the heating of the pool, practically non existant, I stopped going, as it made my back seize up.
BlueSapphire, enjoy your cruise, and
Marydoll, well done for surviving the M&S outlet.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning everyone. It’s hot here in Malta. I would go for a swim if I hadn’t made a hair appointment and plans to meet a friend for coffee.

Hope you all enjoy your day as much as possible.

Good morning everyone from our penultimate day in Malaga. Bits and bobs to do in the apartment then out for a stroll and coffee later - best make the most of the sunshine! Our eldest daughter and her partner are using the apartment next week for a two week holiday. Bet she uses the pool more than I did (not in once!)

Hello joots if you are a newbie. Always nice to have new people on this gentle and friendly thread.

Glad to ear there’s sunshine in Cheshire Ginny42 as we don’t live far from you and it won’t seem so bad returning now!

Hope Tuesday is good to us all especially those of us with health anxieties.

Good morning from Warrington where the sun is greeting us this morning. I can't go for a walk sadly but i can put my washing out ! Simple pleasures.

Good Morning Mick and all. A bright morning on S Welsh coast.
Slept well last night probably due to my walking yesterday, managed half of the local shopping outlet and Sainsbury's.
Hydrotherapy this morning, hope the water is warmer than last week, seems to get colder each time.
Welcome Calpurnia

Kate, it was the outlet I was in. I haven't been in it for over seven weeks, since my stay in hospital. I swear the same clothes as then were still on the rails!

However, I did buy a lovely linen mix sweater for £11, despite the fact I didn't need it.

Morning Mick, morning All. Cloudy in our corner of Somerset, dry at the moment, apparently rain later. There’s a surprise . Haircut at 9am, how did I agree to that? If weather allows some more garden tidying later. Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.

Good morning all from Northampton where the sun is shining, so I have stripped the bed and put the washing machine on.

Managed to get both lawns cut yesterday afternoon, trimmed back an overgrown climbing hydrangea, and then tidied up the grass edges. Was worn out after that, so had to have a medicinal G&T to recover.....

Will be packing today for my cruise tomorrow, then popping down to Sainsbury's to pick up the last of my travel money. Will let my neighbours know I am away and let them have a key in case the house alarm goes off. They also have DCs' phone numbers in case of emergency.

Hope everyone's day goes well.
