SubscribeGood Morning Everyone,
Its bright with a grey sky this morning, but its dry at the moment, here in Brackley.
Usual routine of bus trips out and café stops.
Catch up with the cycling on TV later.
One of my Tour De France memories was in 94 , I stayed in chalets with my Dad in Hayling Island, but had volunteered to be a marshal on the Portsmouth stage, the day before we saw the Dover -Brighton stage on Ditchling Beacon , and was surprised to watch C4 that evening to see myself on screen as the race went up the climb.

Thanks gillybob can’t wait so excited! X
Afternoon Michael, Annie and all. I missed the ‘morning’ slot, as I was busy doing the ironing, phew.
Then by the time I had put everything away, had a shower, tidied up, (hmm, not a lot) , had a coffee, it’s almost lunch time and I shall be off to my volunteering shortly.
Have a good day one and all.
I’ve seen him a few times over the years Harris27 and he always puts on a fantastic show . I’m sure he’ll be as brilliant as ever .
Lovely part of the world Hal; we’ve been through it quite a lot, and DH’s grandparents lives there.
Hi all . Looking forward to finishing work early as going to see rod Stewart at Newcastle arena tonight! Never seen him and I’m 59 needed to tick this off before hitting 60! Can’t wait!
Good morning everyone.
Gab. I call our other house The Pepperpot. It is the same shape as that. No clock thingy on top though. Yet.
Good morning from east London, dull with a few drops of rain. Mixed tennis match finished very late last night, didn’t get home til after 11.30 so early doctor’s appointment today took a bit of effort. I enjoyed the walk though, eased out the creaks. Back into basement clearing today with a ladies tennis match this evening; at least it’s ‘away’ so there’s no supper to do. Have a good day.
Welcome HA149
Good Morning all , I think the rain has stopped , but everything is dripping .
Waiting for eldest GS and younger GD , he is child minding his little sister , she won't stay in their house because the cleaning lady has arrived , got the toaster at the ready and the markers and drawing paper to hand lol
Good morning everyone, and welcome aboard, Hal49.
It's looking rather overcast here in South Yorkshire, but seems a bit brighter grey in the distance. We've had rain earlier, but it's dry now.
Catching up with my friend later but first I need to pop out for a birthday card for my BiL who is 80 this week.
When I get back from seeing my friend, the ironing or the weeding beckons. ?
Hope you all have a good day.
Envious of your glorious weather Gabriella! It’s warm here but no sun and complete white cloud cover. Not as bad as poor Scotland though!
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Hope everyone has a good day x
Hi everyone ??
I hope you're all in fine fettle ready for the next round of scorching weather, the 'African plume' ?☀️☀️?Warm with white/blue sky here in Godalming, 18 rising to 22 degrees later.
Not much on today...run was invigorating and ducks had a whole croissant, greedy blighters. I'll pop along to the fruit n veg market in the pepperpot a bit later. It's an ancient pink building at the end of the High Street.
Have the best day you can and if not feeling too good, put your feet up, housework can wait.
Good morning from an overcast NE.
Managed to see a GP yesterday at a walk in clinic and only waited just over an hour, result. I took my novel but bumped into my sister in law who updated me on all the family news.
I am keeping fingers crossed as a couple are having a second viewing of our flat today, they are the ideal purchasers if the sale goes ahead.
Morning Mick and all. Raining here in Kent but still warm. Didn't get much work done yesterday so must get cracking today. It's great to hear your story Mick. Have a great day everyone.
Good morning everyone from a muggy South Manchester. I have a manicure booked this afternoon - I like my nails short, think I’ll have a French for a change.
You can tell I don’t like tennis ha!
Later we take our 6y old grandson to his swimming lesson. It’s great to see him swimming so confidently now and he enjoys it, giving us a ‘thumbs up’ signal every now and then - too cute!
Hello Hal49 it’s nice to welcome newbies. This friendly bunch is growing bigly!
?
Hope Tuesday is good to all of us, whether we have plans or none. x
Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. The sun has disappeared and the temperature is down.
Cool enough for ironing and gardening.
We love Hayling and Portsmouth too. Very envious of Lins1066 but will settle for watching from home.
Good morning everyone from a grey Northampton. Just having my morning tea, but must stir myself soon as man coming again today to complete cleaning of patios, driveways etc. Apparently the dirt is so ingrained that it needs a pressure washer with a scrubbing brush on it! I have known the lad since he was 4 yrs old so I know he is conscientious and will do a good job. Our families lived three doors away from each other for years, and he and DS were in the same year at school. Ended up working with his mother, and am still friendly with her and her DH.
Out for lunch today with a friend, just a toddle to the pub/restaurant at the end of the road. Wine will be taken, and I won't have to cook tonight!
Have a nice day everyone.
Good Morning All x
Murky, heavy and very still so it looks as though it will be like this for the rest of the day as no breeze to shift it. Not impressed with the summer weather so far. Hope it improves before all the kids break up.
Small shop later and a possible visit from GD as youngest is in nursery, she's had a tough time of late.
Still missing my Aussie D as it's just a week since we said our goodbyes-------so I'll have to pull myself together. Not the best of prospects when she's heading towards 60 and myself towards 80. Ah well, like everyone else, I just have to get on with it, and I will.
Have a good day everyone.
Good Morning from a warm and bright S Welsh coast.
Welcome Hal49.
Hairdresser coming this morning, then a walk with the little dog. We will hand her back to our DS and DiL tomorrow, they have been in the Calgary Stampede for the last few days of their holiday.
DD and I are going to Centre Court on Thursday, she has tickets for the Ladies Semi Final, excited doesn't come close.
Have a pleasant day all.
Aww thank you all for the very warm welcome, seems like a very friendly group ?
Greyduster I’m in Mid Wales.
Hope that everyone has a positive day, enjoy!
Good Morning All. It is grey skies here in Cheshire
My job for the morning is to remove the bags of chopped cuttings of leylandii to take to the tip.
They are packed in bags in the car. Right now the smell of leylandii is awful.
I had better get dressed first though, some breakfast and a cup of tea will help.
Me wandering about the tip in my white dressing gown might scare the natives of Cheshire. Have a good day.
Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It is dull and damp in South Yorkshire this morning, but cooler which is nice. Nothing much on the agenda today except the school run. GS has a school sports awards event this evening at a hotel in the city. Parents and GPs are not invited to attend ☹️. He has to look very smart. Can’t wait to see that!! Welcome Hal49. Which bit of Wales are you in? Have a good day folks.
Thank you for your welcoming words gillybob ?
