Good morning all from a sunny breezy north Wales where I’m back to the chamberpot of tea after yesterday’s decadence! Thank you all for your kind wishes- ‘twas the most lovely anniversary and he fully deserved the bottle of Talisker Skye I surprised him with!

Have to trot out and pick up script for DH and will fill up with petrol while I’m out.

I’ve had some funny combinations with freezer contents not being marked Sark but with me it was homemade pies - savoury and sweet are now decorated with pastry offcuts rolled into letters signifying contents - SK steak&kidney!

Enjoy your day everyone x

Goodmoarming Mick and all x

It's trying to brighten up here in S E Essex.

No plans for today.

Thinking of you BlueSaphire and everyone else on this friendly thread.

Keep safe and well folks ?

Good morning all-and all to come from a lovely sunny Staffs-a bit breezy.
Mowed lawn yesterday so looks good-can you remember, like when you’ve been to the hairdresser? I’ve trimmed and coloured my hair twice now-it grows so fast. It looks all right but not sure what hairdresser will think!
Went to put two cards in the post yesterday at the end of our road, first time out in 3 weeks. Seemed quite strange. Few folk about who all kept away. Have been exercising walking round back and front garden-manage 7,000 steps! Neighbours call hello while I’m doing my Captain Tom (I did warn them I wasn’t pacing!)
Zoom French group this afty-might suggest we start to read Albert Camus La Peste/The Plague! They had rats though (aka the Nazis) so they could see the problem. DH will have a Zoom with his art group at the same time. All great fun!
Have as good day as possible everyone

Good morning.
Bright again in Kent. Himself is starting his gardening job again today. So my day will be broken up by playing chauffeur.
He is so pleased to have something to do rather than just pottering in our garden and the garage.
Take care everyone.

Hi Beechnut
Think you are right about the queues

Good Morning Scentia, Notagran, Sark and Bellasnana ?

Good Morning Mick and corner. It’s a dry with light cloud start to the day on Severnside.

I think no queues and small ones are because we are getting used to how things will be for a while. In the beginning my fear when all the pasta and loo roll was going on was that the shops would be empty and now I’ve got over that fear and the shops are stocked I feel better.

I may have a FaceTime later with my sister in law and some housework.

Do take care all and thinking of BlueSapphire ?

Good morning from Malta where the sun is shining and there is blue sky as far as the eye can see.

As usual, I have nothing planned for today and will just take it as it comes.

Hope you all have as good a day as possible, especially thinking of those of you who are struggling. sunshine

Good morning everyone.
Bit grey and breezy in Oxfordshire this morning.
Lesson to myself ...if using recycled butter containers make sure they are labelled when placed in the fridge. We had a lovely meal last night of chicken, salad and jacket potatoes topped with lemon butter icing!!shockgrin
Hope everyone is as ok as can be right now and flowers to all who are struggling

Good morning everyone from a windy West Berkshire morning.

My eldest son moved back home for lockdown and has been Groundforcing our garden . 15 ferns were planted yesterday and it’s my job to water them in today . Also expecting delivery of a shed to replace the one one he took down and burnt . One positive about lockdown, it’s easy to take delivery ? of things !

Another day closer to lockdown being lifted, I hope it’s a good one for everyone.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. The sun has got his hat in today, I will pop into the factory. Once I have done what is necessary I will come home as the garden is calling my name!!
I am noticing so many more cars on the road in my town since they opened B & Q. Can one shop make that much difference!!! Mind you, when I passed by on Sunday, they were queuing for at least half a mile to get in there!!!
Have the best day possible today and please stay safe everyone❤️❤️

Morning Mick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset. Cleaning to do in corner land then a walk along the river after lunch before a couple of phone calls. A good enough day ahead. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.
