Good Morning Sunday

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire. DS is coming down for a face to face in the garden today. I shall miss the big bear hugs I always get but it will be lovely to see him.
Pitt I missed the space station again last night, so had to make do with bats!
Have a good day folks.

Good morning everyone from a sunny but very windy Essex by the sea. The wind was quite chilly yesterday but it didn't stop the hoards who descended on our local beach.
We drove 10 minutes yesterday and found an area of beach we had never been to before. It's across MOD land and only open at weekends. We had a lovely walk and only met about 6 other people.
A gammon to cook later, a walk by the sea and the Sunday papers to read.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning all from a glorious North Leicestershire.

We should be off to Norfolk today.

Not a lot going on here today.

Take care all.

Good morning Mick and all x

Blue sky and already warm here in S E Essex.

Sar53 I know the beach you mean, we sometimes take the horses on that part as it was quieter, and they love the water. We are visiting DS and his family near you today, Garden only and no hugging.

We stood in the garden last night and watched the Dragon space capsule zoom past, the sky was so clear and I must admit to having a tear in my eye, those men are so brave (I think it is a result of lockdown I am much more teary than usual)

Urmstongran its such a treat to find shoes/bags that you have forgotten about ???

Manc good luck ?

Lamb chops (hopefully on the BBQ) for dinner later.

Keep safe and well folks, happy Sunday ?

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Did spend some time on our sheltered terrace yesterday but the wind was cold.
DH went out to try and see the rocket but there were a lot of scudding clouds.
Another day worrying about BIL, sister has been given permission to visit her very sick DH but she is not well herself.
She has shingles on her face and she says thank goodness for mandatory face masks.
Another disturbed night with pain.
Won't be sitting in the garden with anybody else, family or otherwise.
Stay safe.

Good Morning Mick and all. It is warm and sunny already here on the S Welsh coast, windy though. Really hot yesterday, DD painted the back of her garage as she is having decking laid soon. I'm sure it will look lovely when it is finished, it is costing a fortune though, wood is really expensive.
We have a Morrisons delivery this afternoon and plan a stir fry later. Hope all goes well with the expected arrival mancgirl.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning everyone.

Another glorious day by the look of things. We spent a busy day in the garden yesterday, DH putting in some fresh edging as the old stuff had rotted, and I cleaned a water feature which was decidedly slimy and green. I also risked putting the outdoor tomatoes into their final position too, so hope they will be fine. I have git some in the greenhouse too, just in case!

I think today will be a more relaxing day, though I have got some ironing - think I might leave that for tomorrow. ?

I hope the new baby arrives soon, mancgirl.

Take care and stay safe.

Good morning from another sunny day on the Shropshire border.

DH birthday today.He has had a lot more cards and presents than he usually does,he’s like a child!I made him the usual birthday cake then realised he will be eating the whole thing himself as I am diabetic.We would normally meet the family and spend the day on the beach on his birthday but can’t see us visiting a beach for a while.

I am like many of you who feel the lockdown is being eased too quickly.I think we will just stick to what we have been doing for the foreseeable future.We will meet family in the garden but still won’t be going shopping or anywhere else for that matter.We feel very fortunate that we are able to make these choices.

Marydoll,I did chuckle at your biggles cartoon.

Have a good day everyone.

Lovely day here. I'm going to attack my rose climbing over the pergola as it it going over. It will come back again, it flowers until late autumn. Barbecue for us tonight at DHs request. We bought a gas barbecue last year and I'm still getting to grips with it. There weren't any cooking instructions with it, so it's rather trial with quite a lot of error!

Good Morning All x
A scorcher so far. That sun was pretty hot first thing. I say first thing because as soon as it rose, I was on the toilet. I won't go into the intricacies of why I was there so early but you'll get the picture when I say I ate too many fresh apricots yesterday Serves me right !

I can now see twice as far !. Sorry for those who may be eating, or have eaten or about to eat.

However, it'll be crumpets as usual, then a chicken dinner later. New pots instead of roast.

Like Urmston, I'll be soaking my feet and sprinkling loads of Cuticura powder on them and inside whatever sandals I find in the cupboard. This cupboard houses the Christmas tree and other rubbish bits and pieces and only gets opened once a year so it's full of surprises.

Because of the cool breeze coming off the sea last night I'd put my thicker pyjamas on, well they're coming off and going back in the winter compartment of the wardrobe, after being washed and the silks are coming out-----you watch the weather turn colder again.

Nothing in store I don't think, except a phone-call from D as promised later. I'm still geared up thinking I might see the twins for their Birthdays next Friday. None of them have been anywhere nor myself and D is still furloughed so I don't envisage any nasties floating about.

How lovely, as a gran mentioned, the honeysuckle perfume wafting around the room. I love the scented shrubs as I'm sure Urmston has also come across the Jasmine in Spain, with their heavy/ heady perfume---beautiful. I'm in my element surrounded by natures many perfumes.

Glad to hear also, that Urmston's friend is on the mend. A stent or two does wonders and especially when you're in a lovely country to recuperate.

AGS will be golfing with his pal today I reckon. A lovely course by the sea. Oh to have their energy.

Enjoy your day everyone and stay safe and well xx

PS beaches and parks on my doorstep but what's the use when toilets are closed ? I feel safer at home tbh.

Good morning from east London, sunny with a light breeze, very pleasant in the garden when I fed the birds. I’ve decided to take the plunge and leave my ‘tender’ plants out overnight; I’m more bothered about snails than the temperature so hope the copper strips I’ll be putting around the pots works. I think DP is screwing down all his beer in case I’m tempted to use some for a snail trap. Definitely getting busier outdoors around here, roads, pavements etc; even DS when he goes for his cycle ride (part of his waking up process) has noticed it over the week he’s been home. Hope you have a good day.

A late Good morning from the NE coast where the fog horn has been sounding most of the night. Living so close to the sea does have its draw backs as we have that cold sea mist spoiling the sunshine and the smell of seaweed (which I don’t mind ) is quite strong.

I did a little shop yesterday morning and pottered around in the garden in the afternoon . I have managed to get a new cable laid for the water feature (I must’ve cut through it with a spade last week) so just waiting for DH to connect it all up . I don’t do electricity myself (unless it’s something as simple as changing a plug) .

I took another dose of Night Nurse last night which bought me another good nights sleep . I could easily become addicted.

Hoping for some lovely news from mancgirl any day now .....your must be so excited and boy do we all need some nice news for a change

Happy birthday to your DH Susan56 he probably knew full well he would have to eat the whole cake ?

I hope your DD is okay Scentia such a worry .

I know what you mean about feeling extra tearful GrannyGravy it doesn’t take much for me these days . Seeing something lovely or unusual sets me off.

I watched some fledgling starlings being kicked out of their nest In my bay tree and they plopped down onto my shed roof and I just burst into tears . Fortunately they all managed to get back up into the tree . This will go on for a few days until they are finally gone .

Loved your cartoon face Marydoll . I’ve just got a red nose like a clown ?

Hope everyone has as good a Sunday as possible.

Love Gillybob x

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Another late start at Topsy Towers unlike all you busy people. I blame the cat! He doesn’t have a cat flap here, so he gets his nighttime entertainment by waking us up., then sleeps all day.
Have a good day everyone

Happy Birthday to your DH Susan ??

Good morning from a sunny breezy Morecambe Bay. I’m just back from a bike ride into Morecambe and now know first hand how breezy it is. I think I’m getting better as I don’t think I’ve sustained any new bruises this morning!
Zoom church service shortly then a lazy day planned. We attempted a picnic yesterday at a secluded spot not to far from here which is always quiet. Not yesterday! I think half of Lancashire had found it, so we headed back home and ate our sandwiches in the garden. I’m certainly not ready to risk contact with people unless I’m sure they have kept themselves isolated! Take care and stay safe everyone.?

Good morning all from another sunny day in Glasgow.

We have our own beauty salon going on here. Now that we have cut each other’s hair and I have my fab new toy, rotating hot air hairdryer, yesterday was pedicures. Soak feet in a basin containing a handful of oats then get to work on a foot tidy up. We could have danced all night.???

A couple of friends popped in for coffee yesterday bearing gifts. Four pots of red geraniums for me and chocolates for DH which both men almost demolished during a catch up of non stop blethering. Almost felt like a normal day.

Another pottering sunny day in the garden to enjoy.

Hope you feel you are getting there a bit more today BlueSapphire. Some ? to keep you going

Hope everyone has a good day whatever you feel like doing.

Good morning all. Lancaster is sunny and breezy but I hope it will be warmer than it was at 4.15.
I never would have thought walking would be such a pleasure that I’d do it twice, but there’s a target on the spreadsheet that I want to meet.
Kalu, I like your idea of pedicures and I’ve actually got some oats so that’s today’s task. Hair last Thursday, feet today it almost feels normal.
Have a good day.

Good morning everyone. Just to say I am taking a break for a while as I have just started new tablets and need to see how they go.
Best wishes! xx

Good morning from a sunny Market Harborough. Stay safe and sane. X

Had a cup of tea with our next door neighbours in their garden yesterday - such a treat, and felt like a very cautious beginning of some kind of normality. Like many posters, though, I am in no rush to come out of my protective shell of home and garden, and won’t be going anywhere much. AC both too far away for visits as yet, and I think it will be some months before we can see them.

Given that there appears to be no consensus on the scientific advice this relaxation of lockdown feels a bit political, though I do understand the need to reboot the economy.

Good morning all, good news if scary that shielded people can ‘go out’ once a day from tomorrow, as we haven’t walked anywhere for 10 weeks this may seem like freedom!!! Five minutes ride out Thursday but only to friends garden for short time.and then prepared for social distancing although no one in sight.Wish my family was near enough to pop round if only to the end of the drive. marydoll glad you can get out’ you’re lucky to have a fairly open place near by to exercise,is that the right word ?‍?

I think exercise doesn't quite cut it, Megs! ?

I hobble along, whilst DH strides. One of these days, I will disappear down a rabbit hole and he will be none the wiser, as being a man on a mission, he never looks back!!

Anyway, I have safely been there and back, made tablet and chicken soup. It's time for church and I'm late.

Good Morning from Cambs., Another hot, sunny day.

We went outside last night, 10:10pm. the space thingy passed over, I was surprised it was so visible, I struggle to see things usually.

BlueSapphire, , take care & take strength from your friends on here.

All good wishes to everyone. xx
