Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. The weather looks nice out there.
I am laid up today after falling from my bike yesterday and the pedal hit my calf. I can’t walk.
I didn’t even have the dog attached so cannot blame her, I tried to cycle up a steep bank and fell sideways.
DH will have to run around after me for a few days.
I hope everyone else is doing ok and wondering if gilly is ok as she didn’t post yesterday.
Stay safe everyone❤️

Good morning all from a North Leicestershire which has brightened up since dragonfly posted.

I have a Sainsbury's click and collect today and I have really stocked up in case I dont get another one.

Take care out there everyone.

Good morning everyone from a sunny Inverness !! Yes at last the sun has arrived up here, it’s not that warm of course but the sun makes such a difference !

We joined our neighbours on the doorstep for the clapping last night, a great turnout with drums, pots and pans and someone playing the bagpipes again !

I’ll be doing my online exercise class this morning then out in the garden waiting for things to grow and attacking any weeds that dare come out. We’ve got 2 pairs of birds nesting in boxes in the garden and it’s lovely to see them coming and going

Sorry to hear about your poorly doggy dragonfly46 , I hope things improve soon

I really like your tick off list Beechnut I think I might steal your idea ! ( if you don’t mind !)

Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care if you’re having to go out ?

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Beginning to get used to this new normal but running out of cupboards to sort.
Will send DH for weekend supplies as he is antsy and needs to be kept busy. I will change beds etc.
Look after yourselves xx

Grandmattie fear not, we like doing things together (or we did before all of this) but ....we agreed when we were first locked down that only one of us would go, to reduce the risk. Then we saw that only 1 person allowed anyway here! My anxiety is for DH!
I could start Banoffee-by-Post, Pantglas then yours could arrive to accompany your chamberpot ?. Sadly leftovers in this house unlikely!

Good morning from east London, blue sky with a bit of cloud and fresh temperature outside. The forecasters are saying there’ll be rain later; we need it as it’s so dry everywhere. I reckon I planted up about 80 tomato seedlings yesterday and they’re looking fine this morning. DP is quite chuffed as he has finally demonstrated there is a purpose to keeping empty plastic fruit containers as I started using these once the pots ran out. Just need to pass them on now. Have a good day.

Morning all from a very windy north Wales where I’ve been up since sparrowfart psyching myself for the fortnightly shop at Tesco. The extended lockdown hasn’t affected me as much as I thought it might - in fact, I’m getting a siege mentality and don’t want to leave home!

That banoffee pie sounds delish GrandmaFrench - if there are leftovers, send em over here!

Stay safe Gransnetters x

Morning all.
Not so nice in E Kent, sullen windy weather.
Not doing anything much, perhaps go to farm shop on our walk to see if they’ve got any asparagus.
Beware grandmafrench. DH and I went shopping together as usual on Wednesday, as we got to the door we were very firmly told that only ONE of us could go in. A bit panicked. A bit p....d off as most other couples were allowed in.

Good morning Mick from a bright morning in Cheshire also. Your good morning sets the tone for the day! How can it be Friday already?

Had a bit of a shock when I went to make an early cuppa at 5.00 to find I'd left a bottle in the freezer and forgotten it! Major clean up of the freezer drawer as I've got a supermarket delivery this morning. Also got a line of washing out and am back in bed with a coffee.

As a bit of total indulgence I'd ordered some flowers from M&S and they are beautiful. The first real treat I've allowed myself in 4 weeks and I hope keeping someone in employment.

Walking at 9.00 a.m. The trees in the woods are lovely at the moment with their bright spring foliage, but the pollen affected my eyes so badly yesterday. That walk sets me up for the day though, However, if Captain Tom can manage what he's achieved I'm feeling like a wimp.

Stay safe and well. flowers for all.

Good morning from a dull Leicestershire - rain forecast today.

Bad night as up with poorly dog. If only I could get those drops in his eye!

Hope everyone has a good day and Urmston is feeling better.

Morning everyone, esp., Mick. Up early as woke worrying about DH supermarket run today. Ridiculous feeling like that but it’s possibly something that will still affect some of us even when we’re free again.
Going for a walk first which today might see us avoid too many others at this time.
Then a shopping list - which will contain chocolate and definitely bananas and cream and biscuits so that I can make a Banoffee Pie for DH’ birthday tomorrow. It’s going to be a quiet birthday for my favourite Aries but we’ll do something fabulous when we get parole!
Onwards, upwards into another blue day. Stay safe all. x

My lockdown tick off

Beechnut Fri 17-Apr-20 06:38:26

Good Morning Mick and all who follow from a dry Severnside.

I expected the lockdown extension but it did give me a wobble.

My SiL and I did some messaging yesterday. She sent me a photo of herself dressed for her walk and said they had snow with more forecast for today. I told her I was wearing shorts.

My prawn mystery meal turned out to be with a jacket potato and homemade coleslaw which was very tasty.

A pottering day for me I think and will have a FaceTime with DD.

Keep safe and well good morningers ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its another bright and dry start here in Brackley this morning.
Do my essential shop, before I return home, and lockdown.
Looks like another 3 weeks until May 7th.
Planning a slow cooker meal for Sunday and Monday , more tomorrow.
Mick
