Good Morning Everyone,
Its a blue sky this morning with clouds clearing, supposed to be a warm day as well.
My usual trip out to Buckingham and Bicester , mainly for a change of scenery but I often bump into former work colleagues.

Good morning all from a beautiful sunny Devon, bit windy but very hot 21C already.

Window man rang to say his van's broken downhmm so getting up at 5.30 was all in vain, coming Monday now.

I've been out & done my errands, now to spend the rest of the day in the gardensunshine

Good morning everybody.
It looks as if it might be a lovely day, but I am off to the Hygienist.
Ask me again when I am back when it might look a whole lot better [ grin]
Wishing you all a pleasant (er) day!

Waiting for new settees to be delivered. I “bit the bullet” and got rid of some shelves and useless ornaments (will reduce the dusting!) and had the lounge decorated. UOld furniture going to the British Heart Foundation and is sitting on the drive waiting for pickup, - a somewhat uncomfortable yesterday evening sitting on a dining room chair - gave up and went and read in bed. Eldest granddaughter bringing 7month great grandson later - we’ll test the new settees but he prefers the floor - with toys!
Have a good day everyone, I love reading all your “doings”!

Wish my day was going to be but mum came out if hospital yesterday and has had an episode during the night and I found her in the floor, so back at hospital to see what's happened. She also seeing things which is worrying. Hope you all have a better day..

Good morning everyone from a sunny Essex by the sea. I was up at 8 doing the ironing before it gets too hot. Meeting some grans at lunchtime, looking forward to it.
Also looking forward to the football this evening. Good luck to the English ladies.

Good morning from a lovely sunny Bristol although a bit windy hope it drops a bit later. I am having a lazy morning after my three early starts this week. It has been a busy week.
Enjoy you day everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A nice breeze and hovering around 20, just how I like it. A little less pollen and humidity would be appreciated but we can't have it all.
Looking after 4 year old DGS later, so I'd best get to Lidl.

Mapleleaf Thu 27-Jun-19 09:07:32

Good morning,

It's still rather grey here, but the sun is trying to break through so fingers crossed it will succeed.

Some general chores to complete, then if it brightens up enough this afternoon, I'll be in the garden with my book.

Whatever your plans, enjoy your day. ?

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all. The sun is shining here and we have a cloudless blue sky smile DH says he is taking the car for a wash and brush up later, and there was something else he mentioned yesterday, but I can't remember what!
Last night we went to a summer concert at the Church, where one of our very talented organist/pianist's, delighted us with his choice of music. Why is music so emotional, sometimes I could just cry at the drop of a hat?
Gillybob, it's Thursday, cheers, soon be Friday and the weekend.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning all from dare I say a hopeful sunny ne. I home alone and didn't sleep at all well last night. Hubby and sons have gone to Manchester yesterday to see the Eagles. They were fab as husband said. Off to work soon so must get a shake on.happy Thursday all.

Morning Mick and all. Busy day taking dogs for their hair cut. Then Lunch with my best friend. Shopping Library then home hopefully to get the grass cut as won't be able to see the dogs. and they don't like long grass. Have a good day everyone.

NfkDumpling Thu 27-Jun-19 08:18:03

Morning All

A bit cloudy this morning but the sun is trying to break through. Hopefully it will, it got rather chilly here yesterday afternoon! A brisk breeze means the grass should be dry enough to cut later and a bit of gardening done.

Really pleased to see a couple of greenfinches around again this morning. We’ve not had any for the last few years.

Greyduster Thu 27-Jun-19 08:16:52

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. As yet, the sun is not keen to put in an appearance in South Yorkshire. A day of tidying and a bit of food shopping today. I am faced with a weekend of cooking for various folks, so I had better get myself organised. Tonight, however, we are eating out, so that will be nice. Have a good day folks.

Good morning everyone from the Baltic Sea again. We are approaching Helsinki, but sad to say it is still raining... Supposed to clear up a bit this afternoon, certainly hope so, as I am booked on a city highlights tour and boat trip. It poured with rain all day in Stockholm yesterday, so spoiled our enjoyment a bit, but still got to see quite a bit of that beautiful city. Bought one or two things for DDil, as she is Swedish, and from Stockholm.

We are two hours ahead of you, so it is just gone 10 am, and I have just had a two hour pedicure/manicure treatment, which was so relaxing.

Am going to get a coffee now and read in the 'Drawing Room' on the top deck. Then an early lunch before my tour.

Have a good day everyone.

harrigran Thu 27-Jun-19 08:09:36

Good morning from a lovely sunny NE.
We are meeting friends for lunch, halfway between both our homes so we each have an hour's drive.
DD arrived in the UK for a short break, hopefully catch up with her at some point.

NanKate Thu 27-Jun-19 08:05:15

Glad you are out and about Mary even if you need a catch up day or two afterwards.

If there is a Chelsea bun over can I have it ?

Marydoll Thu 27-Jun-19 07:57:07

Good morning all from a very sunny Glasgow.

The washing is out and the Chelsea buns are rising. It's my husband's birthday today and he has requested Chelsea buns instead of a birthday cake.

We had a lovely day out in Largs yesterday, lunch, some retail therapy, an Italian ice cream and a game of putting.
I got a hole in one, which I think put my husband's nose out of joint. grin
The views, while we were playing, were stunning, looking across the water to Bute and Cumbrae.

After four weeks, my GP at last has signed my travel insurance claim, I hope it's not too late. I'm off to the post office to post it and then having an easy day until we pick up my granddaughter from nursery.
Yesterday's outing has left me exhausted, but it was all worth it.

Have a pleasant day, whatever your plans.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny if very windy corner of Somerset. Pottering today, roses to dead head and general garden tidying. Must remember to water our neighbours garden and myriad of pots later or she will return next week to find a lot of items for compost. Hope Thursday is kind to everyone.

GabriellaG54 Thu 27-Jun-19 07:48:30

Good morning everyone.
Blue skies with sun and some cloud here plus a bit of a breeze in Godalming.
I really don't know how you cope and sound so cheerful gillybob with all that you do for others esp your GC.
Uniforms laid out , that used to be me, plus polishing shoes each evening and lining them up in the hall grin
Have a wonderful time at your GCs sports day Urmstongran, he'll no doubt do you proud.
I so wish mine were little again -precious days.
Nothing much on for me, just see how the day unfolds. I might book tickets to see The Girl On The Train on at The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre Guildford next month.
Meanwhile, warm good wishes to everyone and ?? for those of you not feeling 100%.

aggie Thu 27-Jun-19 07:47:44

Good Morning all , beautiful sunny view from my bed , better crawl out and see if the hairdresser can give me a slot soon

NanKate Thu 27-Jun-19 07:45:20

Morning Mick and All.

Lovely bright day in South Bucks.

We are off to Stoke Park for a bbq lunch and then to watch their Tennis Tournament with the lovely young Greek Tsistipas (I think that’s how you spell it) against Bautista Agut the Spaniard. Then hopefully a cream tea and possibly something bubbly in a glass. I daren’t have a drink before the tennis in case I start snoring during the match ?

Lins1066 Thu 27-Jun-19 07:41:50

Good Morning. It is a beautiful morning on S Welsh coast, warm and sunny. Yesterday we had a cloudy start but in the afternoon there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
DH doing voluntary work at a local NT property this morning.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Grammaretto Thu 27-Jun-19 07:37:17

Good morning everyone from the Scottish Borders. A bright and sunny day though we'll be on the bus to the hospital for hours today for the usual monthly treatment.
Just home after a couple of days with the DGC in Aberdeenshire where it was still light at 11pm.

Brunette10 Thu 27-Jun-19 07:35:40

Morning to all from a gloriously sunny Fife, at long last! Have some chores to do today but going to enjoy this lovely wether while it lasts. May even have a trip to the capital over the next few days. Sun always brings smiles to faces let's hope it lasts for a while. Enjoy today.
