Oops, pressed Post too soon.
DH has a golf game booked today and with relaxing of last week’s rules he can now play a match of 4 players. He’ll be gone from the house longer and I’ll have plenty of time to get some tidying up done before he returns.
Also on my “to do” list is to wash my little car. She’s been parked up in a corner of the drive and gathered dust with little use. I’ll have her shiny and white again ?
A few deliveries and planning tonight’s meal (from leftover chicken) and I think that will be about it.
Take it steady everyone, and I hope not too many of you will be worrying about grandchildren returning to schools today.
Let’s hope it’s the right decision. Time will tell. ?

Good morning Mick and all from sunny, parched Worcs.
Good to welcome the new month and a bit more (safe) freedom.
The thunderstorm sounds dramatic Urmstongran, but then soon over and, as you say, everything is freshened up.

grandMattie my kitchen got a good watering last night when the hose flew off the tap. Me too! I just stood there in shock dripping until I reacted, by which time the shelves, cupboards and floor were wet. I do have another tap I could have attached it to, but gave up at that point so must give the plants a watering before the day heats up.

Morning Mick, morning All. Blue sky over our corner of Somerset. The novelty will never wear off here greyd, just love the sun although the garden could do with some rain now. Feed our friends cat then an early beach walk for us while it’s quiet. Feel a bit tense waiting on news. A couple of positive phone calls and some admin will fill the rest of the day. The chef is on a planned strike today so salad it will be, the chief food taster will be disappointed smile. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.

Good morning Mick, Beechnut and everyone from a sunny morning in Cheshire. Is it really 11 weeks Mick? I agree, the numbers are still high as far as I'm concerned. We'll get there, just keep staying safe.

I slept with the blinds open last night to enjoy the moonlight streaming in. Very calming somehow lying there seeing the brilliant moon.

Got to call the dentist this morning. Hope they're opening soon as I've now got two chipped teeth. This time on a walnut. Thought it was crunchy! Crusty bread and walnuts are now off the menu.

I'm doing an OU course and really want to crack on with that today. First a walk in the woods. I could see my neighbour in her garden before 6.00 this morning so she might fancy going early today.

Hope those able to meet family now have some wonderful meet ups. Stay safe whatever you may be up to today. flowers

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Guess what! The sun is shining in South Yorkshire - but the novelty is wearing off a bit now! Hang in there Mick - I’m with you; I would like to see single figures before we all go getting excited too. And there are always some who you won’t get the message across to, try as you might.
Making more elderflower cordial today; finishing up a load of food left over from yesterday and making a curry for later in the week. That’s my day. Exciting, eh?
Have a good safe day folks.

Good morning Mick. Lovely day again in E Kent. The garden will get a good soak today with my “leaky” hose.
I agree with you that bus travel will be problematic for a while, although going into shop for a quick purchase or browse doesn’t worry me.
The painters will be on the stairs/landing/hall all week. difficult to get to the loo, either up or downstairs!
Otherwise, nothing much. Might Skype DD and DGDs In Bristol today, if they’re not too busy. I have been sending the girls a parcel most weeks. Got to find something for this week. We haven’t seen them since Christmas. It’s hard for us as they see the other GPS regularly on picnics or walks.
All of you with problems, I hope the day brings relief from pain, from banks, from phone companies etc.
Stay well, stay safe, be happy.

Sun’s up! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga where we had a spectacular thunderstorm at 5pm yesterday! Forked lightening over the sea - quite a display. Big splotches of rain for a few minutes. Anyway it freshened the air up.

From today the restrictions on age groups and times to go out have been lifted. We plan to go for a stroll along the paseo this afternoon to see what’s going on. Beaches are to be opened in about 3 weeks here I think. Parks too then I’ve heard.

June 1st.
March, April and May our lives have been on pause haven’t they?

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

Good Morning all from sunny Severnside.

A walk to the mailbox first before I open up the house (no entrance fee today if you’d like to visit??).

I’ll potter about doing little jobs that I keep meaning to do. I started yesterday and it’s motivated me.

Belated greetings for MrSusan and hope he didn’t eat all his cake yesterday. Hope your move goes ahead for you whywhy.

Enjoy and stay safe all whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its another dry and sunny start here in Brackley this morning.
Usual day , some housework TV, DVD`s later but we are now in week 11 of lockdown.
And some of the thoughts of travel on the buses scares me , but I think with shops due to reopen in 2 weeks and a gradual opening of other facilities , will not be happy until the daily figure total is low double figures , with seeing things on TV with Bournemouth why try and control something , or is the government unable to get message across or have they failed .
Take Care
Mick
