Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking likes its just about to brighten up ,and have a reasonable warm day.
Today, I have got up washed, shaved ,showered and weighed myself.
I always take my electric meter reading on a Sunday, and do a weekly usage comparison .
Mind you its creeping up slightly as I am using more, under normal circumstances it would not be the case.
Take Care ,
Mick

Good morning everyone from a grey Gower.

Happy Birthday ? Ginny. I hope you have a pleasant a day as you can in these strange times ❤️

All this talk about astrology reminds me of the lines from The Life of Brian "Capricorn, what's that then" and "it's one of those astronomical signs". My niece1 and me always tease the others in our family as we are the only ones with Summer birthdays ?. I don't believe in astrology but ironically I can draw up a proper astrology birth chart. It's a fun gift I have done for a few people for their birthdays. It can take a little bit of time but, even though most don't believe in astrology, it always seems to be appreciated.

Not a lot planned for today, my usual group quiz is not taking place today so I will just have some chats on the phone with family. Cottage pie for dinner later, it's what my DH fancied.

Take care all, if you are venturing out stay safe ❤️

Good morning from East London , dull but maybe it will cheer up . I’m getting out the summer wardrobe anyway as it promises to improve this week .A very happy birthday Ginny this seems to be a popular month! It has reminded me to send a card to my sister in law , my DH eldest sister . She has been very good about keeping in touch since DH died Unfortunately she is now quite deaf and telephone conversation is difficult , she does not have a mobile or the internet so the only way to keep in touch is by letter . I quite enjoy receiving her little notelets though .
A walk today with a friend I haven’t seen for a while, looking forward to a chat 2 metres apart !
I will also phone sister and brother in Norfolk ,I really miss seeing them all and hope our holiday plans will come to fruition .

Well I suppose I am a bit like a dog with a rabbit and find hard to let go . I’m usually really good at fighting other people’s corners and have done a lot if it over the years . Maybe not so good at fighting my own . Still I’ve got the “we want your Feedback” form from Barclays to to fill in which will be a joy . I do hope they “use it for training purposes”
They could learn a lot on how not to treat their customers .

They never stop persevering, kitty. I gave birth to one of the determined little blighters!

Grandmafrench Sun 17-May-20 10:34:56

That’ll be it gilly. I’m a fire sign......we could have set fire to them first and then you could have used those little hooves grin. They’re my bank too.....and the stories I could tell you. Don’t fret - your day WILL come. In the meantime I’m afraid you’ll just have to cope with being a really nice person! Sending you sunshine for Sunday/for always. x

kittylester Sun 17-May-20 10:30:20

I think you are doing a brilliant job, gilly and persevering in really difficult circumstances.

Is ttmhat a capricorn characteristic - I'm off to check.

gillgran Sun 17-May-20 10:23:12

Good Morning from a sunny N.,Cambs., Warmer today, after a disappointingly cloudy & chilly day yesterday. The only highlight was Ocado delivery, so we are stocked up.

All good Birthday wishes to Ginny.

Take Care to all you friendly folk.

gillybob Sun 17-May-20 09:58:11

A sorry excuse of a Capricorn I am then GrandmaFrench . Maybe I was born early or late and should’ve been an Aquarius or a Sagittarius I’m not sure ?

Susan56 Sun 17-May-20 09:56:42

Good morning from the Shropshire borders.A cloudy start but forecast to brighten up later.

The highlight of our day is the food delivery this afternoon.

Happy birthday Ginny????

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Grandmafrench Sun 17-May-20 09:48:22

Wow! A Capricorn, gilly and you’ve not already trampled all over bungling Barclays with your goat hooves?! Come on, girl, when you get those *k$€£¥& on the ‘phone, you need to kick ass and show ‘em what you’re made of ?????? ? xx

Good morning Mick and the GM team, from a grey-ish east London.

We watched ‘Mrs Lowry and Son’ on Amazon Prime, last night. It starred Vanessa Redgrave as the mother and Timothy Spall as LS Lowry. It was very much worth watching and both actors were excellent.
It made us both want to read more about Lowry, his life and his work.

Some housework today and then I’ll work on my tapestry this afternoon. Beef in red wine for supper, cooked yesterday, so an easy supper, with just vegetables to prepare (mashed potatoes, carrots and mange tout).

Happy Birthday Ginny, wishing you good health and good things in the coming year?.
Have a nice day all, special good wishes to those who need them and ‘let’s be careful out there’. ?

Good morning from Yorkshire it's overcast at the moment .
Happy birthday Ginny, it's beef for us today with roasties and veg .take care everyone and stay aware ?

gillybob Sun 17-May-20 09:39:55

I’m a Capricorn too Kittylester would loved to have been a Taurus and actually had a birthday, instead of being born a few days after Christmas when everyone was always broke . grin

Grandmafrench Sun 17-May-20 09:29:55

Good Morning everyone from warm and blue ??.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ????? Ginny - have a very good day and secretly plan an amazing bash for the next one ?

Easy day today, little gardening, little weeding, little reading, little sewing ...... and lots of sunbeams and stretching out on our garden chairs, lots of cushions, lots of tea, coffee, cold drinks, lots of plans for next week, and lots of shared laughs with friends on the phone.

A lot of very little really, but we’re so glad to be well and we’ll make it count.

Happy Sunday to all of you ‘lerts. ?Please stay safe and aware. x

Good morning and Happy Birthday Ginny from a cool cloudy Morecambe Bay.
Am just back from my bike ride. I seem to be going a bit faster now and manage not to get off and walk up the slightest gradient! The bike does have gears, it’s me that doesn’t have energy!
Zoom church service shortly then I need to plant the cosmos and lavertera which have been growing from seed in my little plastic greenhouse.
Then maybe attach the dress top to the skirt I’m in the middle of sewing.
Take care and stay safe everyone. ?

Urmstongran Sun 17-May-20 09:27:55

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. Not looking to be a nice day here. If only we could get a proper downpour and then warm sunshine.......oh wait a minute I think I'm in the wrong country for that.

The Lily of the Valley are blooming in the garden with their amazing fragrance. These are for you Ginny while your birthday celebrations are on hold.

I skipped online zoom church last week and my absence was noted! I had better show up this morning.

So many things are suggested we do under Lockdown and really why can't we just be lazy?

We had a wonderful zoom international family quiz last night.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Nannytopsy Sun 17-May-20 09:07:24

Happy Birthday Ginny!

Nannytopsy Sun 17-May-20 09:06:46

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
It’s a lovely day in Suffolk today and there are plants to be potted on!
Lots of roast chickens out there today! We shall have that tomorrow. Today is monkfish from the fishmonger at the local nursery. Having seen the bananas in yesterday’s grocery delivery, I shall be making banana loaf too!
Hope the day is kind to everyone.

cornergran Sun 17-May-20 09:04:38

Popping back to wish ginny a very happy birthday. ???

NannyJan53 Sun 17-May-20 09:04:34

Good morning from a cloudy Black Country. It was so cold yesterday, so hope it warms up today.

Happy Birthday Ginny cupcake wine flowers wishing you the best day possible.

I did venture out last Thursday to pay in a cheque. Bank door was locked, and had to wait to be let in. First time out since lockdown began. It all felt so strange, most people avoiding each other, yet a little old lady came direct towards me and I had to walk in the road!

FB came up with a memory today of our trip to Rome 7 years ago! It was a trip for our first anniversary together. I wonder if we will ever be able to go back?

So pleased your lockdown is slowly easing Urmston, and you are such a good neighbour, can you come and live next door to us smile

No real plans today. Carry on reading my book. Three Things About Elsie by Joanna Cannon. Roast chicken for dinner, and make chicken soup tomorrow!

Lins1066 Sun 17-May-20 09:00:19

Good Morning Mick and all, our part of the S Welsh coast is cloudy this morning. Will read the papers and prepare some fresh veg, stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in Parma ham for later.
A very Happy Birthday to you Ginny ??? have a good day.
We have blue tits in a box on our shed wall too gma, they are already eyeing up the, as yet, green cherries on the tree. We've a few other nesting birds in the ivy, and in the large conifer.
Have as good a day as you can and stay safe.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Greyduster Sun 17-May-20 08:55:20

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A grey day in South Yorkshire but a tad warmer. I have a couple of letters to write today - actual ones that you post! Not emails! I can’t remember the last time I sent a letter through the post. A banana loaf is on the agenda, and a roast chicken dinner later.
Have a lovely birthday, Ginny???! Enjoy your Sunday any way you can folks.
