Good Morning Everyone,
Its another bright sunny start with a clear sky this morning in Brackley.
Had prepared the turkey curry yesterday, will do it to warm in slow cooker later.
Other than a usual Sunday in, its build up time for the tour de France which will occupy my TV viewing most afternoons from next Saturday.

Good morning all from N Korea - just done morning march and praise for our leader. Feel very tired now. I hear your right to free speech is under serious threat in UK. I could not live in a country like yours. An internet friend smuggled a video to me of a man called Boris - he was white hair and talks like this - "phfaw phfaw phfaw, oogly oogly oogly" he fiddles a lot with his hands. He spoke about staying in Fascist state European Union. Thank Kim I live in N Korea. Later I will be ironing my uniform.

Good morning from east London, not as sunny as earlier but still bright. Have spent some time planning tennis club tea for tomorrow’s match and wandering round the house looking at walls as DP wants my view on colours for the redecoration that will finish off the work we’re having done shortly. Two choir ‘gigs’ this afternoon in quick succession, one about 2 miles away in a park, then back to a street party not far from where I live. Have a good day.

Good morning all, cloudy & a bit breezy here in Devon, promise that it will brighten later. Plan to be out in the garden, hope it's cooler & not as humid as yesterday.

KatyK Sun 30-Jun-19 09:58:59

Good morning. It can't make its mind up here. Alternating sun and cloud. I'm off to the cinema with my sister this morning to see Yesterday.

Bellasnana Sun 30-Jun-19 09:56:30

Good morning from Malta where it is very hot and sunny.
I’ve no plans at all apart from pottering about doing odd jobs around the house.

BlueSapphire your cruise sounds lovely and you seem to be seeing some nice places. Enjoy your city tour.

Mick, I shall be watching tv next week too, but tennis in my case rather than cycling. Wimbledon starts tomorrow!?

Gillybob, you worry me. You have such an enormous amount on your plate, but you still stay cheerful.

Hope you all have a good day whatever you are doing.sunshine

Good morning everyone from an overcast Godalming. I'm glad it's cooler. Gosh! Some of you are up with the lark. I thought most people had a lie-in on a Sunday ?
I had scrambled eggs and 1 small piece of seeded bread plus cappuccino just now and that will be all until 6ish.
No run on Sundays so I might go up to Gibbert's Hill on the Downs a bit later - I like the exercise as it is somewhat steep in parts.
Have a safe journey and enjoyable week Urmstongran, no housework or cooking for a whole 6 days...grin
and to Marydoll and all who struggle with health issues...??? keep smiling and accept all the help you're offered.
For the rest of us, I hope the weather stays dry. grin

Morning all - clouding over here now in Leicestershire.

I have had hospital appointments on Sundays and it is indeed easier to park. Hope it goes well for your DH Kitty.

We are going with friends to a cheese afternoon tea. I don't like sweet things so should be interesting.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Mapleleaf Sun 30-Jun-19 09:06:23

Morning all,
Today we are forecast sunny intervals with a fresh breeze. Such a contrast to the heat of yesterday.
Plans are to cut the grass and go out for tea.
Yesterday evening ended with the tail end of a storm going on somewhere - we had a few rumbles of thunder and a few splodges of rain around about 9 pm. It all came to nothing, but I think someone got it not too far from us. It didn’t stop us from staying in the garden, anyway!
Tallinn sounds lovely BlueSapphire. Enjoy your tour today.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Sun 30-Jun-19 09:04:56

Morning all. It's so hot here in South Notts, even puss is lounging about listlessly. Will go out for a drive later, then the supermarket.
Yesterday I got the washing done, it's dry and wrinkly but I really do not want to do the ironing. Maybe I shall go about looking like a bag of laundry for a few days as there's nothing in the diary so why bother to look smart?
Hope all is well with everyone - stay cool.

Anniebach Sun 30-Jun-19 08:59:03

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Same as usual, doing nothing all day

Hope everyone has a good day x

Pittcity Sun 30-Jun-19 08:46:03

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Much fresher than yesterday. My hayfever hasn't lessened yet Urmstongran
A quiet Sunday getting over a very hot noisy wedding reception last night. Roast pork this evening.

oldgaijin Sun 30-Jun-19 08:42:38

Good morning from a bright and sunny Aberdeenshire. O boy did we have a storm yesterday evening...magnificent forked lightening and thunder of mega proportions. The mutt sat on my knee, stuck his nose under my oxter 'til it was all past, so I am well warned for fireworks. Everything looks fresh and green this morning.
I think we'll do a wee Aldi run now that I am eating again and the cupboard is quite bare, then away to the woodies to meet mutt's pals.
Have a great day everyone.

gillybob Sun 30-Jun-19 08:34:57

Good morning from the NE coast where it is dull and overcast . The forecast shows a day of cloud and sunny intervals but we shall see. We had heavy rain again late last night and I’m not sure whether we will see any kind of real summer here in the North East.

A busy day of cleaning the paths and patio yesterday so the garden is looking quite nice although a few things have been battered by the heavy rain. Today I really need to catch up on a bit shopping ready for the overnights and school runs of next week. I rarely let myself enjoy Sunday as I just see it as Monday Eve so it’s best just to keep busy and keep my mind off it.

I hope Mr Kitty’s early appointment goes well. It’s strange having an early appointment on a Sunday but I have taken my dad to one or two, it’s always much easier to get parked.
I hope you have a good trip up to Scotland Urmstongran I was going to suggest you wave as you pass but I suspect you might be going up West rather than East. Anyway do enjoy your stay.

Enjoy Estonia BlueSapphire I just looked it up and Tallinn old town sounds lovely. Have a great day.

Enjoy Sunday everyone whatever you are doing x

annsixty Sun 30-Jun-19 08:31:04

Good morning all.
It is dull and breezy in Stockport this morning, a change from the heat of yesterday.
A usual day of doing very little for me.
I am finding out the truth of how lonely weekends are when alone.

cornergran Sun 30-Jun-19 08:27:10

Morning Mick, Morning All from a cloudy, breezy corner of Somerset. Off out soon, over the bridge to Wales hope the motorway fairy is kind today. Guess Mr Lester is on his way home now. Hope all went well, your sisters wedding is perfect notagran and Sunday is kind to everyone.

Nanabanana1 Sun 30-Jun-19 08:18:55

Morning all, cloudy here this morning, are you in Torbay Calpurnia?
Nothing planned for today, might get grandchildren out for a walk and then some crafting with Grandaughter. Have a pleasant day everyone.

Lins1066 Sun 30-Jun-19 08:16:05

Good Morning Mick and all GN's. Cloudy start here on S Welsh coast and mercifully cooler.
May do some ironing later and a little walk.
DS and DiL flew to Calgary yesterday, they are going to the Glasier National Park in Montana and then a couple of days at the Calgary Stampede.

Hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday and your DH enjoys his day out Calpuria.

harrigran Sun 30-Jun-19 08:06:33

Good morning from an overcast NE, it is supposed to warm up but we will probably get a breeze that prevents it from getting too warm.
All the family visiting this afternoon.
Good luck to Mr Lester for his hospital appointment, hope he is seen promptly.
DH had daily appointments over two months and it can be exhausting.

EllanVannin Sun 30-Jun-19 08:04:25

Good morning All x
Sunny and cloudy, at least it's brighter than it was yesterday after hanging cloud and a cold blast from the river. My feet were like ice last night and I was glad to go to bed.
Like gillybob, 2 fine days and that's your lot here. The forecast for the week is sunny and cloudy. A Madam Butterfly summer----" One fine day !"

Cats are fed and have gone out to play. I'm not bothering with my usual joint of meat today so have got a couple of nice lamb chops and will do creamed potato and a baby cauli with them. Less cooking.

Those on holiday, enjoy your time and for all at home have a peaceful day.

Brunette10 Sun 30-Jun-19 07:54:59

Good morning from a sunny Fife. Woke up very early this morning so have been busy with some chores already. Fence all painted yesterday by DH and looking good hopefully we shall get out and about today and enjoy what’s left of our good weather. Hope Sunday is good to all.

NotAGran55 Sun 30-Jun-19 07:54:45

Good morning everyone.
Perfect weather here in Berkshire for my sister’s Wedding !
Thank the lord it’s cooler than yesterday.
