Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

I have a quandary this morning.
Our granddoggy has adore eye which is really bothering him. I am shielding but think I will have to take him to the vet - there is no one else who can! I will put on my gloves and mask and ask if the vet can see him outside.

Good morning everyone.
Sunny but only 2c in Kent will warm to a balmy 14c apparently.
Weekly shop this morning DH will stroll along the prom to the supermarket and I will drive and collect him after. That's my outing for the week.
Not having wobbles just bored with doing the same things day in. I have things I enjoy doing but doing them every day I find I'm losing enthusiasm.
Have a good day, stay safe.

Morning All

A lovely crisp, bright morning here in the north of Norfolk. I just went out to uncover my seedlings from their overnight frost protection and it's more crisp than I'd anticipated! The sun will soon warm through.

The garden is immaculate now - apart from one small corner which will be perfect by this evening. The house is clean and the windows sparkling (did them yesterday). So I shall be sitting in the sun doing that infuriating map jig-saw which got the better of me in the winter. Of course, I could make a start on clearing out the loft - but that's on next week's list.

Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning everyone from a chilly but bright Northampton. There is a frost on the summerhouse roof. Should be warm enough to sit out again today and read. I have just started an Agatha Christie for book club, the first of hers I've ever read, and am really enjoying it.

Cut the back grass yesterday, and will do the front at some time today, as it is garden waste collection tomorrow. Managed to lower the blades on the mower, so it looks lovely and neat now. Have a load of washing in, and may strip the bed later, and hoover round upstairs.

Logged into Sainsburys twice yesterday morning, but no slots available; tried again after lunch and they had released one for this afternoon, so I took advantage of it.

Hope the day is good to everyone; take care and stay safe.

Curlywhirly, when my four kids fought over a toy, the toy was confiscated and locked away for the day. Fighting for parental attention was met by 'You must be bored, so you need something to do!' and an allocation of chores. Get your son to try these things.

Thank you Pantglas, I was enjoying picturing you sitting up in bed with a floral ‘guzunder’ on your lap!

Oops better explain to Oscaroll and Oldbutstilluseful and any other newcomers that ‘my chamberpot’ is my huge mug of wake-up-tea! Else you’d think other thoughts.......welcome all!

Good morning from NE Hampshire where the sun is shining and the birds are singing their socks off. How welcoming you all are to us newbies, thank you. Special day today. It’s my lovely daughter’s birthday. She’s been doing a grand job making sure I have everything I need shopping-wise, and today I’m expecting cake ?! At least I’ll be able to wish her happy birthday in person.

To top it off, a neighbour who apparently is going mad with boredom has offered to clean my car! It’s so bad it will certainly help fill several hours for him. Be safe and well everyone.

Good morning Mick and all. I’m new to this lovely thread and hope I’m welcome. I’m in Surrey. Very bright sun rising here, looks to be a lovely day ahead of us. More gardening for us and hopefully a short walk. I do feel as though I’m seizing up a bit. Pigeons doing their usual stomping on our flat roof as I type. Hope everyone stays safe and well.

Good morning Mick and Beechnut from a gloriously bright north Wales where DH has just brought my chamberpot to me and I’m listening to the chatter of birdies in the garden.

Will sort out the spare room today - drawers, bedding etc - the amount of stuff I’ve got ready for charity shops when they re-open is shocking, and I’m renowned for annual declutters!

I noticed a few more newbies on this lovely thread so welcome to all and stay safe everyone if you’re venturing out x

Good morning all. Not as cold today here in Cheshire, hoping it is as sunny as yesterday. DS phoned yesterday, he sounded really fed up; the children are playing up, and keep 'fighting' over toys and competing for attention from their parents. Oh dear. So wish I could help, it would be lovely for one of them to come and stay for a few days to relieve the boredom. I just wonder how long it will be before that can happen, a few weeks at least.

No idea what I am going to do today - no gardening to do, so it will have to be housework or more tidying of wardrobes/drawers; I could always jetwash the front drive, but after 3 days of jetwashing the backgarden flags, I think it can wait for another day!

Take care and keep safe.

Good Morning Mick and all who follow. It’s dry and bright on Severnside.

Some housework to do first thing. Afterwards I will do some crafting and if that gets finished I will go out into the garden to work and read.

Welcome to the new good morningers. ?

Look after yourselves and stay safe ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its day light, bright and dry with the moon still in the sky over Brackley.
Today a small shop, mind you its a case of knowing what you want to buy before you go into the supermarket.
Then usual lockdown, watch TV , and maybe play a Cd or a DVD later.
Mick
