Good morning Mick and everyone. It is overcast in Malta this morning but it is already getting hotter. We are in for a heatwave this week if the weather forecast is to be believed.

Yesterday, I watched the funeral of my friend’s father via video link. It was very moving and more so under the circumstances with just immediate family there, having to sit apart from each other. I am not moved to tears very easily, but must admit I wept.

No special plans for the day., but I usually manage to find something to fill my time.

Take care everyone and I hope your day goes as well as possible. ☀️

I’ve been reviewing my weaknesses. 2 out of these 3 will have to stop. Hmm... not difficult to decide which one I won’t be giving up.

Morning Mick and All.

Cloudy here in South Bucks.

Snap NotaGran I too miss a day trip to Oxford. I never get tired of looking at the beautiful buildings. I have been watching some of the episodes of Lewis on ITV catch-up in order to get the feel for what normal life used to be. I love all the Endeavour too.

Wish I could say what I’m up to today, but haven’t got the faintest.

Good morning Mick and all x

Bright blue sky, slight breeze here in S E Essex. Changing beds, washing and hopefully ironing is on the agenda for today. Then I shall be buying GD's birthday gift and card on line, get an order in at Boots for delivery and amend the grocery order for delivery this weekend.

Day 58 in lockdown for me and honestly I am fed up with the restrictions on mine and everyone else's lives, I know it is for our safety and will continue to toe the line but I fear things will have changed for ever when this is over!!

Keep safe and well folks ?

Morning All

Grey and overcast here in the north of Norfolk. Chilly too. Doesn't help the mood.

Several pounds heavier and no will power.

The house is spring cleaned and I can't invite anyone in to see it! Ditto the garden which is unusually manicured. Getting rather bored now. I may venture into the loft - I think there's a jigsaw or two up there to keep me away from the kitchen and the food.

I wish I could take over for Gilly. I can sit on hold on the phone. Not doing much else.

P.s. enjoy your drive out today Gabriella and your picnic! x

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s sunny ? and Himself is just getting his shorts (thankfully not Lycra!) on ready to go out for his walk. He missed it yesterday with the torrential rain saying ‘I’m not going out in THAT!’. It poured down yesterday for hours, relentless, until after lunch.

I need to take myself in hand. I’ve not gained any weight but I’ve not lost any either - and I wanted to. I have no willpower.

A friend went to the hairdresser yesterday and another friend goes tomorrow. I’m happy to wait....

Hope Wednesday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Chilly out this morning.
I am at work today and my car has broken down!! I will have to go in my DH car. I hardly ever use my car and I think it has gone on strike since I got this new job and have to use it more?
I met with DD and DGS for a walk yesterday. I didn’t give my DGS a cuddle but watching him try and run on the long grass has cheered me up no end. I know we were a day early but I’m busy today?
I feel so much better after seeing my DD and having a laugh together. It’s hard not to hold my DGS but he wasn’t bothered.
Have a good day today and stay safe everyone. ❤️

Grey overhead and a bit chilly here today in a West Berkshire .
The house is sparkling after yesterday’s marathon spring cleaning session .
I have downloaded all the previous series of The Great British Sewing Bee and had series 2 on my iPad in the background all day as I did my chores . It made a change from an audiobook book ?.

Feeling tempted to go for a drive today to take a walk somewhere different as the restrictions are lifted but I can’t decide where to go!

We are surrounded by countryside and trees which I’m getting bored with now and I’d love to visit Oxford my usual ‘go to’ place for a town walk to enjoy the beautiful architecture .Although I wouldn’t be able to have a coffee , lunch or shop which is always part of the attraction sad

Oh well , I might turn left in the woods today instead of right !

I hope today is a good one for you all , especially if you are meeting up with someone from a different household for the first time .

Good morning Mick and everyone
Bright and sunny in Oxfordshire.
Another quick mug of tea and I really must get myself moving and off to work.
Have a good day and best wishes to all

Morning Mick, morning All. Bright, chilly start in our corner of Somerset. A mountain of sorting for me today while Mr C wields a paintbrush. No idea what we’ll eat today. The chef could well be on strike. Be gentle with yourselves in these strange times.

Good morning Mick, grandMattie and all to come. Slept well for a change, so awake early. We have a click and collect this morning and then into the garden I think. I would like to do some digging before it gets warm again at the weekend.
Have a good day everyone.

grandMattie Wed 13-May-20 06:20:34

Morning Mick, morning everyone.
Sunnier this morning in E Kent, but pretty chilly still.
Big day today - going to the supermarket! Yay!!!
Otherwise, same old. Getting tired of not meeting anyone as it is now 9 weeks since we self isolated. A long time! But, hey, we must stay alert.
Suffering from allostasis = apparently, it is the name for brain fog.

Good Morning Everyone,
Yet another bright blue sky this morning over Brackley.
It is also less windy as well at the moment.
Any way yesterday , I did attempt to scan some photos, of my late Father.
We have a Facebook page dedicated to Memories ,and the ones I eventually managed get into the right area , posting 3 items on the page .
Today ,small shop, and see how the day develops.
My hair trimmer as now arrived at a courier in UK , so will be interesting to see when I arrives.
Take Care
Mick
