Good Morning all from East Staffordshire on this Easter Day.

Weather looks mighty fine again.
I read a whole book yesterday, start to finish. The Salt Path by Raynor Winn it was definitely a ‘cant put down’ type of read!!
Today I will look if she has written any more.
I will take the pooch on a bike ride later along the canal and maybe go a little further this time. The pooch is definitely getting fitter since she has been running by my bike.
I hope that everyone has the best day possible today and please, stay safe?

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s another white cloud day. Usually at this time of year it’s hot and sunny and families flock to the Costas for their Easter holidays. Weather-wise, they’re missing nothing. On average all this lockdown (Day 29 now out of 43) we’ve had one gloriously hot day a week.

I forgot to put ‘chocolate’ on the grocery list so none for me this Easter Sunday! Not that I’ve had any all month (it’s not something I’d bother with) but I would have had some today. Ah well.

Will be FT’ing the grandchildren later this morning. Their mummy has bought them a chocolate egg as if from us so as we chat she said she will bring ‘our’ eggs in to them & say these are from grandma and grandad. Bless.

Hope Easter Sunday is kind to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning everyone and a Happy Easter from Essex by the sea. A very strange Easter this year.
Not much on the agenda today, a walk by the sea and roast chicken for lunch with a glass of wine.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning all from a dry and bright north Wales where I’m enjoying the chamberpot of tea having been up to do the necessary yoga.

DH has announced that a sausage butty is what’s needed to set us up for the day so I’ll leave breakfast in his capable hands as I’ll be making dinner - roast pork and trimmings as he’s not keen on lamb which I’d have preferred.

DH is fully recovered from his hip op Beechnut and very appreciative that he had it done just in time before the shutdown on all ops etc. He’d been waiting since June 2017 and was in serious pain over Christmas and New Year so my sympathies to anyone still waiting (think it might be anne60)

Hope the weather is kind to all and may your wobbles be little ‘uns x

Good Easter Sunday to you all ??

We are due for another sunny warm day here in S E Essex, so we are having a BBQ this afternoon, and our Roast Pork tomorrow.

Nothing else on the agenda.

Keep safe and well folks ?

Good morning Mick, granMattie, NanKate and all who follow on this Easter Day. I'm hoping for another warm and sunny day in Cheshire but it's too early to tell yet. I woke early from a weird dream which took me some time to get out of my head. Doing deals with a builder because I had some bricks he needed. No idea where that came from. confused

This is the first Easter in many years when I haven't been with my DD and DGS. I have an Easter card for my GS in which I've made a list of treats for when we're finally over this extreme virus situation and we can meet again. I'll photograph it and send it to his phone. Had a lovely Skype chat yesterday and another planned for today, which helps to shrink the couple of thousand miles we are apart.

Will walk in the woods and see the bluebells as more are appearing each day. Not a carpet of blue yet, but it will be soon. The wild garlic is in flower and rather pungent and the trees are now that beautiful sharp spring green. All signs that nature is alive and well at least.

Enjoy your day everyone. Stay safe. flowers for all.

Good morning Mick grandmattie and all to follow. Easter ? greetings to you all.

Apricot coloured sky here in South Bucks another warm day in prospect.

Good idea Mick best of luck with your dumbbells. I am doing the 15 minute Walk in a Mile recommended here on GN. I turn down the sound and put on my own music.

A nice roast chicken dinner for us today and a glass of chilled wine.

Good Morning Everyone,
Up early as usual, to what looks like another warm day here in Brackley this morning.
A quiet day to day I might treat myself to a bar of chocolate which I have brought .
Otherwise a lockdown, I did buy myself some 5KG dumbells a year or so back so may exercise using them .
Trying to avoid becoming a couch potato .
Mick
