Good Morning from a wet Severnside.

I need to do some housework and I might do it ? this morning. This afternoon I will pop by a friend to drop something off.

I’m heartily fed up of this dreary weather so if your case feels a bit heavy Urmston it’s because I’ve climbed inside.

I hope you all have the best day you can ?

Morning Mick, morning All from a wet and windy corner of Somerset. Not sure how today will unfold. May get on with some clearing out as there’s little incentive to be outside. Special thoughts for those with health issues or other worries and a hope that Saturday is kind to everyone.

Good morning Mick and all who follow.

I’m back in Malta after a late evening flight from Rome. We were ‘checked’ as we came in i.e. told to look into a camera and then waved on if we were not showing signs of a fever.

Yesterday, we managed to climb to the top of St. Peter’s cupola which was a bit more of an undertaking than we had imagined. Well worth it, though. I’ve wanted to do it for years but there has always been a huge queue in the past, so never got around to it until now.

Thought of you, Marydoll, as I know you love Rome, as do I. My DH and I had some lovely times there and it is quite hard going there without him. So many memories.

Managed to get some plasters for my blistered foot which helped a lot. My FitBit doesn’t know what has hit it this week!

Have to collect my dear dog from kennels this morning, plus a bit of laundry.

Hoping you all have a good day, special thoughts to gilly and all who have too much on their plate. sunshine

Good morning Mick and all to follow from a wer South Manchester. The sky is slate grey. Storm Joules was named by the Spanish yesterday. I did wonder at first why we had jumped to ‘J’ from ‘D’!

I’m tagging along with my daughter this morning while she takes our 3y granddaughter to her first ever paid activity class. It’s called ‘Teddy Dance’ and is run by a local dance teacher in the community hall. Of course I’ve bought the child a small, new cute teddy as her dance companion!

Writing and putting stamps on half a dozen or more birthday cards this afternoon. They are all for birthdays in March and we will be in Spain so he kindly posts them for me during the time I’m away.
?

We’re babysitting tonight while daughter and son in law go out for drinks and a meal. They’re not daft - we are asked to go over ‘about 4pm’ and do the teatime, bath and bed malarkey! That said, they come home around 9pm. Late nights and children don’t mix do they?

Hope wet Saturday is good to us all whether we have any plans or none. x

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a wet start here in Brackley this morning, if forecast is right should clear for awhile before the latest storm comes in from the south west.
Last Thursday whilst waiting for the bus in Buckingham, on the bus time display it showed Heavy Snow for the area.
Will do my usual Buckingham and Bicester but get back around 2 watch some cycling this afternoon on TV ,and basically settle down for the rest of the day.
Mick
