Good morning everyone, it’s turned cloudy here Inverness but I think the forecast is for the sun to come out again later ?

Hi again Sark and welcome back to this friendly thread

I eventually got a lovely FaceTime call with DD1 and DGSs yesterday - I think she’s finding it quite challenging looking after 2 very energetic boys, homeschooling and trying to work from home - like many other mums I bet !

Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care especially if you need to go out ?

Morning all. Indeed, the highlight of the week at the moment is the weekly shop which I hope isn't too stressful with all the queues, etc. This will be in store for me tomorrow as it's generally quieter. Each shop seems to have its own system. I try to stick to just the one if at all possible.

I hope I get my usual paper at the first attempt and can then relax with the crossword puzzle. Must mow the lawn as I've been neglecting it. Such excitement!

Hope all is well especially for those with wobbles and worries.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. We get planes low over the house for Mildenhall or Lakenheath and evening they are scarce at the moment Mick.
It’s grey here today which should make the gardening a bit cooler. The bindweed is starting to show itself ? so that needs attention.
Family pub quiz tonight and we haven’t set our round yet. We are thinking that a round on drinks would be appropriate for our lot!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

A dreary start to the day here on the Suffolk coast. Thankyou all so much for your kind thoughts re DH and his hospital visit. We still haven’t had the results of the tests but he’s Going In in Monday to see the consultant. He’s much the same with slurry speech but seems ok otherwise. Im Off to do his ‘paper round’ as he usually gets papers for us and the neighbours on a Saturday. Hope your stress levels are waining SARK. It’s good to post on here with such lovely people to share our worries, and give comfort. Good wishes and kind thoughts to all ?

Good Morning Mick and All, and welcome back to Sark.

Grey and overcast in South Bucks but the sun should break through soon. I will make sure to enjoy this weekend’s weather as I believe the grotty old rain returns this week.

Wish I could tell you about exciting things I have planned, but like the rest of you I just have to get on with it.

Good morning from another sunny day here in Cheshire. Yesterday was glorious - really hot and sunny all day, spent all afternoon in the garden. Finally got around to dying my grey roots yesterday with the help of himself. Thankfully it turned out really well and I feel so much better; just hope by the time it needs re-doing, we can visit our hairdressers, but don't really hold out much hope of that happening soon.

Not got anything planned today, just the usual lunchtime dog walk, then more pottering about the house and garden. Hope you all have a good day. Take care.

Welcome back Sark, I think we have all had a wobble or two only to be expected in these strange times.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

It's a grey start here in S E Essex.

I am another one who had a very broken nights sleep and when I did doze off I had the most vivid dreams!

No plans for today other than cleaning inside of the windows as the window cleaner came yesterday and cleaned the outsides which has highlighted all the little people's finger prints ?

We enjoyed our Chinese takeaway last night, but I am back in the kitchen this evening Steak, English Asparsgus and Jersey Royals.

Keep well and safe folks ?

Thank you Puzzler61
Much appreciatedsmile

Puzzler61 Sat 25-Apr-20 07:34:28

Welcome back Sark, I hope better days are ahead for you. Speaking for myself, ‘a wobble a week’ is fairly normal especially in lockdown. At those times I don’t like to post on GN either. ?

Sark Sat 25-Apr-20 07:29:59

Good morning everyone from a fairly grey Oxfordshire
I haven't been on here for a little while as I have had lots going on and even GN became stressful. Silly really as this is a lovely thread.
Anyway I hope that everyone is coping with lockdown etc
Best wishes to all flowers

Good morning Mick and all early risers. Tossed and turned last night, was too hot, but maybe that was due to the late g&t I had (made by DH so a generous measure of gin) while I watched TV late. A rerun of Piers Morgan Life Stories with Michael Parkinson. Didn’t Parky host some memorable shows with old Celebrities, when to be a Celebrity you had to possess talent?
It’s a cloudier start in Worcs. Big day of the week as we get a drive to Sainsbury’s to pick up our Click&Collect groceries. Hope I ordered more tonic water!
Have a good start to your weekend all and keep safe.

Good morning all. nina , my end of E Kent is grey and morose. Isn’t it strange that now the highlight of our lives id the couple of hours at the supermarket?
Bad night, been awake since 3 and dozed for several hours. Not restful.
Doing some sewing today.
Asparagus for dinner. Yum yum.
Stay well and safe.

Good morning from sunny Kent.
Highlight of the day will be going to pick up himself from the supermarket with the weeks shop. I may then sit and watch him transplanting my beautiful rhodi that is too large for it's pot. Hope it survives.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone. It’s a bright start on Severnside and I’m looking forward to another sunny day which helps a lot whether in these times or not.

Had a really long FaceTime chat with DD yesterday and even the dog got up and looked at the camera. Not sure he knew what he was doing but it was lovely to see him and so I said a few things to him that I always do ? In real life.

I also went out and bought a cycle helmet so will get my bike out now.

I think I’ll potter in the garden.

I’ll enjoy the day the best I can and I hope that you all can do the same and your worries will be eased.
Stay safe ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its light but its grey and misty this morning in Brackley.
Another day in, one thing that I have noticed when we have had clear blue skies is the lack of aircraft and vapour trails.
As where I am seems to see some incoming Heathrow ,and maybe Luton or ones which have taken off from Brum.
Quiet day, had some news yesterday ,they are opening the only bank in the town as of next week for 2 days and 4 hours on those days.
Mick
