Good Morning Saturday

What we are trying to assemble is only 6x4. More than enough for my needs now. An extension would have been my choice over a greenhouse though. Hope you find room for a wee one?. I certainly wouldn’t recommend what we have been mumbling expletives at??

Kalu, mine was built onto the side of the house, but was knocked down when we built the extension a few years ago. I really miss it! .
DH promised me a new one, but not sure where it would go now..

Just noticed your post Marydoll. We have been constructing the blooming greenhouse all day. Still not finished, it’s nightmare ?

Great news re RK? Thank you so much for letting me know. Will be ordering tmorrow??

Good afternoon all!

We had a lovely day yesterday on our green with other neighbours for the VE Day celebrations. People kept their distance and it made a nice change to have a natter. Dancing last night and a few drinks had by all. The trouble makers kept indoors and thankfully no police had to be called out. I feel flat today as I had a glimpse at how life could be in the future.
An afternoon of sorting out fabric and then I’m back to practising embroidery. Stay safe and have the best day possible. X

Good afternoon everyone ??

Yes, late to post but not much to say, surprisingly ?
The tulips that my Sainsbury lady gave me on Wednesday are adding a beautiful splash of colour to the sitting room which reminded me to order 46 mixed colour geraniums from Thompson Morgan plus a trio of whisky barrel planters in descending sizes.
Plants give the feel-good factor especially if you have good weather to sit out and enjoy your efforts.
Run was uneventful, brekkie was rhubarb n yogurt. Now just reclining on the rattan sofa outside with lots of cushions, factor 30, water and going to have 90 winks.
Good wishes and ? to everyone. Take care.
See you tomoz...??

That's sad JUSTWIDOWED, but you get used to it in time.

Have a lovely day in the sun.

mrswoo - Thorpes by Amy chance??

Sorry to hear your sad news Jacq10 what a terrible shame. Don't go out walking if it hurts too much. We can always catch up on exercise later. or is that just lazy me talking?

Is it Rachel Rhys by any chance...,?

Good morning from a beautiful warm and sunny Salisbury. Been sitting in the garden enjoying the flowering clematis which has at least ten more flowers ready to bloom. The sweet peas and rambling rose are nearly ready to flower too! Funny how I appreciate the simplicity of blossoming plants now. Enjoy the sunshine and whatever you have planned today.

jacq10, so sorry to hear about your friend. . I hope you are feeling a wee bit betetr physically. We just made it within the delivery radius.

Kalu, it's the one attached to Rouken Glen Park.
DH ordered online on Wednesday and they were delivered yesterday. We may buy more.

Fereneze Nursery are doing Click and Collect, but that's no use to us.

Yes NanKate only people of a certain age ?? use the term 'swizz'. ?

Good morning from sunny County Durham. Is it just me or are these days whizzing past at super speed?

We had so many trips planned this year. We should have been in Poland now then making ready to travel on to Prague. I don't think the freedom we have had to travel abroad to so many different places will ever return again.

Yesterday my peg dolly fairies made their way into the gardens of three of my GC. I shall post the two remaining ones to the others, who are a drive away. It should give them a little surprise. They can then either keep them or hide them for another child, while out for their daily walk.

Today I plan to enjoy our last day of sunshine before the cold winds arrive with their wintery showers tomorrow.

Have the best day you can all. X

Sorry to hear the sad news of your friend jacq. Hope a walk in the sunshine helps to lift your spirits.

Good morning from a sunny and warm Newcastle. Just back from a brisk walk up to our high street. DH needed to buy an axe - he's dismantling the rotten garden decking. I think I've worried DS when I told him that MrWoo was digging up the patio but needed an axe to finish the job. I shall have to be on my very, very best behaviour, just in case things turn nasty.

All the VE celebrations sound lovely. One house in our street had bunting up but there was nothing else. Not many Thursday night clappers either. We are not unfriendly bunch though.

A day for sitting in the garden with the weekend papers before the temperature drops tomorrow.
I hope everyone has a sunny Saturday and all those with health and other worries have the best day that they can.

Good morning Mick and all from the Scottish Borders where I we have been breakfasting in the garden. Yay! It's never been too hot at night here, in fact what is said about Scottish Summers is that you never need to take your cardigan off. This is as warm as it gets. Luckily we love it. Too hot and you have to have sun cream and hats. Bother that!

I wish that after the lockdown we preserve some of the good things: Fewer cars; more working from home; fewer flights. less pollution, more walking and cycling. More play for children; fewer exams.
Today I will get around to some of the jobs I have been putting off for weeks. I have a book on Feng Shui and the art of de-cluttering which I have never read. Why do we possess 150 plastic flower pots?

I hope you all have a good day. Be careful. See you tomorrow.

Late to post this morning as I am awash with hay fever. Don’t know why it is so bad this year - perhaps fewer distractions means I am more aware of it? Tiresome but the pill will kick in shortly. Hope so, because I have things to do in the garden following successful delivery of plants from local nursery. A group of us shared quite a big orders so it was worth the nursery’s while delivering to us.

We had a neighbourly distanced gathering yesterday afternoon, about 50 of us in the end, and it was nice to see rather than merely hear the local children who all seem to have grown in the last couple of months.

Good morning all from a not sunny yet Glasgow ??

Still reading a good book at 2.00am this morning and why not? It’s not as if I have to jump up early for anything so I am just doing whatever takes my mood. I also rely on you Mick to tell me what day it is?

Cat didn’t come home last night which was not surprising when I realised I had closed her in the lounge last night. Now I know why she didn’t appear as usual when I was in the garden calling her??‍♀️

Thank you Marydoll I need a hint as we are both lucky to have a selection of good nurseries around. I will have a look online....woohoo. DH popped down to B&Q very early this morning but said the queue was horrendous and came home. Just popping out to get whatever I need is something I do miss just now.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day in the sunshine if you have it. Could be back to thermal undies tomorrow if the forecast is right for once❄️

Hello everyone - beautiful morning.

Good morning from the Shropshire borders where the sun is shining.

We had a lovely afternoon yesterday chatting/shouting to the neighbours.

Hope today is the day you get somewhere with the bank gilly??

Cherry,hope you had a better night.x

Good wishes to all for the best day possible.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
There were no celebrations in our street yesterday, we have a lot of elderly and sick neighbours and one with the virus.
DH and I had tea and cake on our terrace after a local cake maker delivered some special cakes, she left them on the bonnet of our car for us to collect.

We had a video call with the family last night, actually got a wave from the teenager.
GD 2 showed us her sunflowers and other plants she is growing and her exercise was to clean the car with Daddy.

Another leisurely day with my novel which is set in the south of France and gives you the feel good factor.
Love to gilly stay safe.

Good morning Mick and morning posters from the north of Scotland but afraid the weather has, as predicted, reverted to form and its grey, damp and not too warm. Like many others I've not had the best of weeks mainly due to ongoing pain after my fall. Doctor upped the painkillers and they have helped slightly so I hope to get out for my exercise walk and hope that it will loosen up my old bones! Also had a phone call from a friend's son last night to say his Dad had passed away in hospital due to the virus. We had met up in Spain many years ago. His wife passed away a few years ago and he didn't make it out to Spain so often but came up to the Highlands often. He wasn't in the best of health but I had spoken to him a couple of times recently and he was doing okay. Like Marydoll I am also upset over the bus company going into administration. DH and I used them many times and found it a great way to have a short break with no worries. I had two trips booked for this year with friends - one should have taken place in April and the other was for June. I feel for all the employees so I must buck up. Believe it or not, since starting this post the sun has peeped out so I WILL head out for my walk.

Sar53 take it easy today after your fall ?

Another lovely day here,going to be gardening. My leek plants arrived, I will put them in the greenhouse as it's going to be chilly, and will plant them when the weather is kinder.
