Good morning all. Another lovely day ahead ☀️.

We visited our local, very small nursery yesterday. Not much there but we got a few geraniums, bizzy Lizzies, big orange daisy plants (don’t know their name) and popped them into our empty tubs for a bit of colour. ???. Hardly any customers there so we were in and out in a trice.

Popped round to DS1 In the evening and had a glass of fizz in the garden. First time we’ve seen them in 10 weeks. The GD s had grown - 11 and 13. Quite the young ladies. Lovely to see them but hard not to have a squeeze. ((( ))).

Our neighbour is very poorly and has been since December. He’s lost 2 stone and looks grey. The hospital don’t know what’s wrong. They say Corona test was negative. I think there’s something not adding up. He’s usually very fit , always out and about and doing. Poor man.

Last evening clap tonight. It’s right to stop now but I think most people will miss it.

Have a gentle day. ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness. It’s a bit cloudy just now but yesterday started off like this and ended up a lovely warm sunny day.

Hope your haircut goes well mick

I’m with you Brunette - hopefully we’ll get the go ahead to go out a bit more from tomorrow - will definitely put a big smile on my face !

Nothing different much planned for today, a couple of online exercise classes and maybe a bit of baking ?

Ooh you’ve just reminded me nfk I need to change the sheets today too - thanks ! ?

Hope everyone has the best day they can and thinking especially of those with extra struggles and worries

Take care ?

(I bet your promised letter comes second class Gilly - just to add to the tension. But fingers crossed anyway.)

Morning All

Another lovely sunny day in prospect here in the north of Norfolk - although the garden is in dire need of a nice steady rain (preferably overnight). The grass is looking a bit parched in places.

High point for today is changing the sheets and doing the washing.

Good Morning All. Mick another point to remember re: clippers:
all the time I’m doing DH’s hair he says”use scooping action” so then you’re not driving the teeth of them into your head but going in and along for the cut, then away again in an upward scoop movement. (unfortunately it seems easy to nick your skin and fetch blood - not a good thing). You’ll soon be a pro. at it ??‍♂️
Sunny with a breeze in Worcs. again. We had our water sprinkler on in the evening as well as watering, so the border plants and lawn look refreshed this morning.
We need a new toilet seat in the Puzzler household so I’ll be looking at online possibilities. I want one that fits, not moves when you sit down or pinches your bum (if you know what I mean).
Looked at John Lewis as we can click and collect easily from a nearby Waitrose without paying a delivery charge - and their small range is all sold out. Are folks stockpiling loo seats??

Other things planned today are a bit of sewing, a bit of ironing, a bit of paperwork and a bit of reading. A ‘ Bit Of’ day then ?

All stay safe, and Feel Better Soon if you’re feeling worried or poorly. ?

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It's nice here in Fife at the moment but waiting for the sun to appear to have another bright and warm day. Off out shopping in a few minutes to re-stock. Quite like going at this time, it's quiet and I am also getting used to just shopping once a week. Will be out pottering in the garden later on once I return, shopping put away and household chores all done. Looks as if we are all going to have good weather so hopefully everyone will be able to at least put our woes behind for a time and enjoy what we have for the moment. Looking forward to NS's update today and hope it puts a big smile on our faces here in Scotland. Take care everyone and keep your chin up.

Good morning everyone from a sunny but very windy Essex by the sea.
I've been awake since 5 so decided to get up and read for a bit.
We had a three way quiz with my daughters yesterday evening, really good fun and we won for a change !!!
DH will do our weekly supermarket shop later and then probably a walk by the sea.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning from a sunny if chilly E Kent.
Nothing today except check on the few stalls in our market during our walk this morning. I usually but flowers.
DH is delighted that I have learned to poach eggs in the microwave. I have refused to poach them until now and he loves eggs.
Mick only use the trimmer with the longest comb to start with, and reduce the size to suit, that way you don’t end up with chunks removed!
Hope today brings you all only good things.
Stay well, stay safe

Good Morning everyone from a sunny Severnside.

I’ve a small shop to do today and then cleaning upstairs.
Sit and read in the sunshine for a while and do the last clap tonight.

Good luck with the haircut Mick. If you take off a big chunk you can always give yourself a bald haircut. ?

Good wishes to all ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its another bright blue sky over Brackley this morning.
Yesterday , received hair trimmer in the post ,and will attempt to shorten my hair a little.
I noticed via an email from someone in Northampton I know, that bus services will start to operate a normal service with restrictions with 2m seating max 11 on a single deck and 20 on a double decker .
I only hope the X5 Oxford -Cambridge extends beyond MK towards Oxford soon there again I suppose restrictions as to passenger numbers will apply .
Take Care
Mick
