Good Morning Saturday

Good Morning All x
A lazy morning as you can see, though at least I've showered and had my crumpets before I begin the day.
Dull and heavy, damp too so a good reason not to hurtle about. When we'll see the sun again here is anyone's guess !

I notice someone with a lemon drizzle cake---mine will be an orange drizzle as no lemons but I quite like anything orange, I eat a lot of them.

Nothing much else on the agenda today so far I haven't even thought about dinner today but the idea will be there when I look in the freezer, which needs de-frosting

Hope everyone has a decent enough day minus any aches and pains.

Hello everyone from a very damp Northampton, where it's pouring with some much needed rain. Much cooler here, and even turned the fan off in the bedroom last night. Slept till 7am, which is a miracle for me!

Having a lazy morning, messing around on my Kindle and trying to do the Telegraph crosswords and sudoku. Will probably finish the book that's on my kindle, and then perhaps start one of the many that DD has lent me.

Solicitor sent me the final papers from late DH's estate yesterday, so my business with the solicitor is now closed and everything is now completed. Will sort everything into the massive ring file later on. I now need to update DS and DD. Then I really need to do a massive clear out of the filing cabinet.

Hope everyone has a pleasant day.

Morning Mick and all. Weather raining but still warm. My lovely Son goes back to France today it's been great having him home for the week. I am off to the coast for a few days tomorrow when my daughter returns from her hols today to look after the dogs. Hope all is well with everyone and not to wet.

Good morning all - another fine day for doing nothing much! I sometimes find I end up doing more on those days than when I have something planned....we’ll see! Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning from East London and the only way to describe the weather is wet, wet and more wet. Mild tho’. A few tech problems with my machine today, server not responding, so had to wait til the decorator took a break so I could go into the front room and do the time honoured method of problem solving- turn router off and on again. Yay. More bits to pack up today then tonight a party - the DH of our choir leader is 50 and we’re going to serenade him. Have a good day.

Good morning from rainy Colchester. Slept late. My body needed to make up for sleep lost to the heat.
20 and non stop rain forecast for the weekend.
We need to shop as all the supermarket fridges and freezers in the area were bare yesterday. Food had been thrown away because the machines were struggling with the heat and "safe" temperatures weren't achievable. I'm sure some of us remember a time before we relied on refrigeration and would've been happy to take some of the products home....pass me a Magnum!

I will have to learn to type more quickly. Four new posts since I started. Hi Annie!

Morning Michael, Annie to come and all others. Yesterday evening it was glorious in the garden. I was getting in the washing and it began to rain. Oh so softly and gently, that I just stood and relished it. My water butts are almost full again, joy.
I made a lemon drizzle cake yesterday, DH's favourite, so feel smug that there is cake in the tin.
NFK, what an adventure, I have never learned to sail, but DH used to sail and canoe, back in the days.
Harrigran, hope you are soon feeling better.
Hope to be able to get a new paper lampshade today. Do they still sell them? DH manages to put his fingers through the one in his study yesterday while changing a light bulb.
Have a good day one and all.

Cool and dull start to the day here in Norwich! Heavy rain again last evening but so much better for sleeping! Might attack the housework today, everywhere looking dusty and hoovering required!!!
Garden looking fresh and healthy!
More rain forecast here for the weekend, soon be longing for hot weather again , never satisfied are we!!!

A very grey and cold start here on the NE coast . It’s almost dark and Heavy rain is expected at any minute with severe weather warnings in place . So that’s another wash out of a weekend .

Global bloomin’ warming ? Not here in the North it ain’t !

Phone call of DDiL last night confirmed that my DGS has Chicken Pox so I don’t know what on Earth we can do next week ? I was sharing child care . Lots of little outings planned will have to be cancelled ? I hope little Evie hasn’t caught it .

Felling sick as the proverbial chip!

Hope you are okay Harri ( and anyone else not feeling very well) .

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all,dull but warm here in Bristol, nothing much planned as recovering from a virus or something but on the mend now. Enjoy your Saturday everyone.

Morning All

The weather is breaking. Dull, cooler and quite wet in the north of Norfolk with a refreshing breeze.

We went for a sail yesterday with DS and family. We were in our boat with DGS (aged 5) while his mum and dad tried out a hired Wayfarer dinghy (sailing is quite new to DiL). Started out well with blue skies in a very gentle breeze, then it got gusty, then it got rather dark with billowing black clouds, then there were a few lightening flashes. Then it came. The wind died to nothing and we were drifting in the middle of an expanse of water in boats with masts, with the storm all around! Lightening flashes between the water in front and the clouds!! Luckily DGS relishes storms!! We paddled back and got in just as the heavens opened!

Today we're having a quite day!

Good morning from a bright Aberdeenshire...looks like another warm, sunny day. There's a so called farmer's market in the village today and will have a look but it's usually full of Cats Protection stalls selling a heap of old tat...the egg lady night be there.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from a damp South Notts.
It's a little cooler but still sticky. Sent my apologies to sister yesterday as I felt exhausted due to the heat.
I shall do the absolute minimum today. Must go out for a paper and more cat food. Have prepared salad for lunch - no way am I cooking.
Poor little wren Ginny such a fragile little life.
Hope all is well with you all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Pouring rain here. I mowed the grass yesterday thankfully but left the machine out and the greenhouse windows open and I turned off the rayburn cooker so am very late baking my cake as it's still heating up.
59 degrees here too, Marydoll. We all knew what you meant.
Hope the day goes well.

Good Morning Mick and all from a cloudy and warm S Welsh coast. Didn't sleep well as it was so muggy.

Look after yourself * harrigran*.

Have a good day everyone and wishing Urmston a lovely holiday.

Good morning from an overcast NE. I knew the good weather would not last, this weekend is the Air show.
I have been awake all night with severe stomach pains, may have to return to the hospital if it does not improve.

Good morning. It’s pouring down here in North Yorkshire. On my own today after a busy week with DGS here since Sunday. Much tennis and golf played and a lovely afternoon on the beach at Saltburn. Going down for a week at his house tomorrow. So today a bit of shopping and browsing, sort some admin then a “me time” kind of day.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all.

My bit of Leicestershire had very little rain overnight but we have just had lots.

Still on the hunt for curtains today so we are off to the middle of nowhere to see if they have any there!!

Enjoy your days everyone.

Oh that just goes to show how tired I am, I never even noticed my error!?

DH has just set off the house alarm, aaaargh. . I'm definitely coming with you Urmonstongran.

Good morning everyone! Leicester has had overnight rain too but I don’t think it was very heavy. Off to buy new bras today - did you need to know that?

Ooh mint Magnums! I must look out for some next time I’m home Marydoll

It wasn’t the fact you like to think of weather in Fahrenheit measurements it was because you put a ‘C’ after 59 and it made me giggle!

P.s. I always think of the weather in degrees centigrade but as in a thread last night, I like to hear the birth weight of babies in pounds and ounces. We’re a funny lot aren’t we?

Good Morning to all from a wet Fife, doubt our good weather is over. Have some shopping to do then probably a quietish day after our picnic yesterday with DGS’s. Hope everyone day is good.

Urmstongran, despite having taught the metric system and Centigrade to my pupils, I still think in "old money"!

Enjoy your trip to Malaga, I'm so envious. .

I have just remembered DGD is coming for a sleepover, I need to batten down the hatches and preserve my energy.
Last night I lay in a darkened room with two paracetamol and a mint Magnum after she left! ?
