Good Morning Monday

Good morning from a sunny Market Harborough. Moving day is getting nearer, thank goodness.

Good Morning All x
How I love waking up to these sunny bright days, they definitely give a reason to live and I'd be more than happy to enjoy them until winter.

Bits of washing to get done then it's all up to date----wear it wash it, that's me, then I'll make the most of the sun on my skin.

Chop up the rest of the chicken from yesterday and a quick " chicken tonight " honey and mustard sauce and bake in the oven with more new pots and broccoli. The cats will have the rest because I won't eat chicken beyond two days.

It sounded like New York yesterday for in the distance sirens were going constantly so what was going on I don't know except that because I'm close to a beach there'd have been crowds milling around and the odd few causing mischief. It broke the lovely silence that's been evident for weeks.

There's nothing like a good thunderstorm for clearing the air Urmston so let's hope that the rest of the time is more settled as I'm sure it will be. Enjoy your stroll. x

Not sure if I'll see/hear from D today though I know she's busy with the children and don't like to pester her unless it's necessary, she's got enough on her plate.

No crumpets so I'll have a bacon sandwich for brekkie, then I'll nip out and get some more while the going's good---nice and early after delivery of them.

Hope this finds everyone well and rearing to go ,where ? There's always the garden. Stay safe xx

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Warm and dry again. Washing and ironing is on the agenda. No need to go any further than the garden.
Much love to all... Stay Alert!

Good Morning Mick and all from the S Welsh coast, blue sky and sunshine here. Difficult to sleep last night despite the open windows, as it was so warm.
We had a delivery from Morrisons yesterday afternoon, boy was it hot washing everything on our 'contamination table' on the patio.
Nothing much planned today, we will see what happens.
Hope you have a better day today harrigran it's tough for you and your family at the moment.
Stay safe everyone.

?for you harrigran, what an awful time for you. I have a sister who I’m very close to and I would feel devastated and helpless like you. Try and find something nice to take your mind off things today. Take care ?

Good Morning from a beautiful day here in Fife. As Marydoll said this is probably our summer we've been experiencing these last few weeks I cannot see this weather continuing through the next 2/3 months, unheard of in Scotland. I have thought on many occasions recently if the lockdown had been through the Autumn or Winter time goodness knows how we would have all felt, absolutely miserable I believe.

For normal on a day like today we would have been venturing out with a picnic to a beauty spot somewhere and although I know we could prob do this somewhere very close to us we will stay at home as NS has advised. It's a good job we like our own back garden .Some open markets are returning to trade down south, I hope this is safe to do so and it's turning point for everyone. Keep safe everyone and keep your chin up.

Good morning from the NE where it is fairly bright.
Yesterday didn't really happen for me, went back to bed after breakfast and slept until lunch, went back to bed and slept until four o' clock. Apparently it was a nice day and everyone had people in their gardens but it passed me by.
BIL still critically ill and my sister was allowed into ICU to see him, not a thing we can do to help.

Stay safe and don't take risks.

Good morning from the Shropshire borders where it’s another sunny start but quite breezy.

Thank you for DH’s birthday wishes,he had a lovely day as did I as we saw both daughters and families.Lots of cake for him as DD1 had made him a birthday cake too.

Nannytopsy,I too am worrying that the easing of lockdown is being driven by business needs although more and more people seem to be doing whatever they want regardless of consequences.The number of people crowded in parks and on beaches at the weekend was unbelievable.

I have a long list of chores and phone calls today as I took the weekend off!Also food delivery later on.

Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

Lovely and sunny here, need to go to the allotment and water, hard work as we don't have taps, we have to pump the water! Need to do a shop and do some ironing.

Good morning, yet another sunny day in Kent.
We have to take the cat for his booster this morning. I think we have to ring when we arrive and leave him on the doorstep and they will take him in whilst we wait in the car.
The fox cubs were having fun in our garden last night at dusk. Sadly only four where there were six.They were around for ages.
Stay safe, lets not get complacent.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I understand all the reservations about buses, shops etc. I worry that the lifting of lockdown is being driven by business needs not science. DGS is year 1 but will not be back at school.
I am sitting in my sunny Suffolk garden listening to goldfinches and collar doves and a peacock??
The patio doors have already been cleaned inside and out and the bins done. I got lots of extra strawberries yesterday so it’s jam making today.
I suppose I had better take DH a cup of coffee to get him moving.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from east London, blue and sunny, still warming up. The LTA has advised tennis doubles is no longer restricted to household members only so hoping for a game this week. There will be a lot of hand gelling and washing going on. Ever fancied pigeon racing Mick, I never thought of it as a sport until hearing on the news it was the first sport to ‘open up’ today. Shopping later, maybe a walk, have a good day.

Good morning from Malta where it’s a sunny day.

Nothing on the agenda at all today, will see how the day unfolds.

Wishing you all the best day possible.☀️

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny Glasgow. These last few days are probably our only summer, going by past experience!

Gosh, quite a few posting already! I used to often post just after Mick and Beechnut, I really must get my act together!

Nothing much to report today. I have a couple odd sewing jobs to do and a little weeding before it gets too hot.

Last year in Rome, I bought some end of season linen tops for €5 each, they were not quite the bargain I thought! ?
They were designed for a Senora with rather more ample proportions on top than me, if you get my drift.
I think perhaps that is why they were only €5! I didn’t try them on, as DH was getting rather impatient with my footering about, trying to choose from a plethora of bargains on a rail.
Forget the wonder of the archaeology and history of my beloved Rome, the highlight for me is the bargain rails at the end of the season!
However, as they are roughly a basic T shape, it won’t be a problem to alter them and they are rather nice and colourful! I do like a bit of colour, lifts the spirits.

The baking tins are empty, but the thought of being in the hot kitchen has stopped me over the last few days. I need to get my act together, whilst it's still relatively cool.
I made some tablet yesterday for my neighbours, as I now have NINE tins of condensed milk. Family and neighbours keep picking it up for me, but I don't wan't to look a gift ? in the mouth, so just smile and thank them!
However, I am now running short of sugar to make it, but am reluctant to say so, in case I'm inundated with sugar!!!

I discovered last night that my neighbour had booked a golf slot for DH and he this morning, as our courses are open again . However, DH didn’t tell me and declined, as he doesn’t want to put me at risk.
I only found out by accident from my neighbour’s wife..
I assured DH , as he would be going in his own car , not going inside and stripping off when he got home, he would be fine.
I feel really guilty, as he needs a break from me, however, he is adamant that he won't be playing.

Here's hoping everyone enjoys the good weather and a special mention to all who are struggling, especially Blue Sapphire, praying she had a better day yesterday.
?

I'm off to open up my maths class. The pupils' behaviour has been absolutely disgraceful over the weekend! ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Still in shift in Nottinghamshire as the day staff are late!!
Off to see DD and DGS for a bit of TLC for her, she is suffering bless her. Must get home and walk the pooch first though, not much else planned for today.
Stay safe everyone ❤️

Good morning Mick and all x

Beautiful Blue sky here in S E Essex, I am another one that cannot believe that it is June, our lives are on hold but the weather is kind. Our AC think the weather is good due to the lack of pollution, it is rare to see a plane in the sky.

I have bedding to iron first thing before it gets too hot, must edit my food delivery then it will be my kindle on the sun lounger.

Keep safe and well folks ?

Good morning everyone from a beautiful sunny warm Inverness. It was another scorcher yesterday and today’s forecast is the same . I think from tomorrow though the usual Scottish weather will return !

I too can’t believe it’s the 1st June already - how the time flies ! Important day today for DH as he’s going back to his part time local gardening job. It’s only a couple of hours and he’ll be working on his own outside so he should be safe. He’s definitely got a spring in his step this morning!

My youngest DGS in Cambridge is due to restart nursery today - I’m not sure how it will work in practice but DD1 thinks it should be ok with specific measures in place. No doubt I’ll get the run down later today.....

Hope you have a lovely time later with your DD and DGD gingster and well done with your walk nfk ?

Have a great day everyone and take care ?

Good morning everyone from another beautiful sunny day in Essex by the sea. I can't believe we are into June, mine and my eldest daughter's birthdays coming up soon.
Yesterday we drove out to a couple of places I had never been to before, and all within a 20 mile radius of home. It was lovely to go somewhere different.
DH working from home today although not much is going on. I have a pile of ironing to do and some housework. Out later for a walk by the sea.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Fortunately my DGD who is 5 is not going back to school today as the school has decided not to open.

Got a man coming to trim the trees and shrubs today so better get a wriggle on.

Hope everyone feels okay and has a good day.

Morning all from a bright and sunny North Leicestershire.

We arr going to tackle the garage today. Please send a search partty if i don't post tomorrow!

Stay safe everyone

Good morning all and another lovely one. It can’t be June already! Where did the last 2 months go?

I know what you mean greyduster the novelty is wearing a bit thin. That’s why I love the seasons in this country. A couple of days of rain would be lovely. I know I’m strange ?.

Arent hose pipes a pain ginny . Always leaking or popping off. I was standing in my front garden hosing the flowers, talking to my neighbour and the spray attachment leapt off the hose, soaking me and splattering my neighbour . How embarrassing. We did laugh though!

My DH. also Has a golf round booked today. It will be nice to have the house to myself for a few hours. Puzzler won’t it be lovely ?.

Hoping to see DD and little GD for an hour today. They certainly perk you up do t they ?

I picked up some tomato plants from friends yesterday and sat in their beautiful garden with a swimming pool. I was so desperate for a dip but declined their offer of a swimsuit. I will go back ready with my cozzie.

Have a fun packed day everyone. ?

I’m watching the swifts from behind my balcony window as I drink my coffee. There must be at least 20 of them swooping and circling.

They fly right up to within an arm’s length of the window and I could touch them from up here on the sixth floor! Then they disappear for the day and return around 9pm when it’s dusk. Fascinating to watch up close!

Morning all from another gorgeous morning in north Wales and I can’t believe you’ve had more bad weather in Spain Urmstongran! My friends over there swear I’ve jinxed things because I couldn’t come over in April as planned!

Restrictions lift a little today so will DD and family later for a couple of hours so I’m going to make some Brownies to celebrate! Stay safe everybody x

Morning All

Another wonderful morning here in the north of Norfolk and we can go for a walk today without feeling we’re breaking the rules!

We went out yesterday and my phone says I walked four kilometres. (I still had to translate it to get the real feel of what I’d achieved - two and a half miles.) Not far for some, but a considerable distance after a few weeks with only the garden to plod around - and I got fed up with that after the second circuit!

We’ve got several local walks worked out where we shouldn’t met anyone, or if we do there’ll be space for passing. Secret places I remember from my childhood. We’d go to the beach - but I think most of the car parks are still closed.

I hope you all have a successful Monday.

Good morning Mick and your followers from the Scottish Borders where the birds are singing loudly to herald another hot and sunny day.

There is no official relaxing of covid rules here in Scotland though some are planned I believe. Videos on social media showed evidence of flouting, littering and lighting fires!

We were a bit wicked too. DD came to picnic in our garden with one of her DC. What a treat that was although she was shocked to see how poorly her dad is.

Hoping everyone has a good day.
