A very wet good morning from me, in bed in north Wales ☔️
It promises to ease off this afternoon but I’m not doing much today- never mind!

A baby boy mancgirl ?good health to all x

Will sort a shopping list for Lid tomorrow- DH has spotted a hammock arriving in their offers so will be there at opening time! He bought one for our casa in Spain seven years ago an it’s still going strong so £7 will be well spent! May have to pick Scentia brains on building a frame!

Stay safe everyone and have a lovely weekend x

Good morning Mick, Beechnut and everyone from a very wet morning in Cheshire. It's absolutely pouring with rain and has been for hours and all yesterday it was blowing a gale. Not long ago I couldn't sleep without the fan, but thank goodness I put the heating on last night.

I do enjoy my morning walk, so fingers crossed it eases before long.

You wonder where some of our expressions come from and also how they change over time to mean something else entirely. grin I think everyone's been cleaning like mad during lockdown and I'm wondering how the charity shops will cope when they open. The volunteers amongst us are going to be very busy.

I'm going to be busy working at home everyday for a long time now, so that will keep me out of mischief. There's another expression.

I'll have a rummage through the freezer and put meals together this weekend as I have an order coming Monday. There's plenty, it's just putting it together.

Enjoy the sunshine if you're lucky enough to be able to have garden meetups. Stay safe and well. Hope the baby has decided to arrive manc.

Morning Mick, morning All. Chilly and what feels like a howling gale in our corner of Somerset. Back lawn is pink, climbing rose has few blooms left. Oh well, there will be more. Many congratulations to you all mancgirl, good news and what a star of a big brother. No idea what we will do today, something will appear I’m sure, definitely not cleaning though charley. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.

Good morning everyone from a bright E Kent. Though we are promise clouds and very strong wind a bit later. My poor annuals.
Beech, good luck with the painting. Our painters are coming along well; we’ve got to vacate the sitting room for them to start on Monday. Then kitchen, dining room and my little study/sewing room attached - bleugh.
Nothing much today. Weekly visit to farm shop for vegetables and asparagus.
Have a good weekend, stay safe and well.

Good Morning from a rainy Manchester. Baby Manc has arrived! A little boy yesterday afternoon.smile. That makes a happy little band of 3 gs's. His 2yo big brother stayed over last night, he has been a star, apart from 5.30 wake up call?. Considering we have seen next to nothing of him in the last 10 weeks, he has been amazing. Lovely to spend close up time with him. Probably back to distancing after this morning. New baby will be viewed through the window sadly. Not sure what the rest of the day holds, might include a nap though! All very excited to have a new addition to the family, so perhaps a Zoom meeting later to get a look at him. Have a good day everyone. (((hugs))) for those who need one, flowersfor those with extra cares and worries.

I have never been up so early since I left work 18 years ago but Tara my cat would not allow me a few more hours.
It is sunny here but not the warmest day.

I have to tidy and clean the house- the excitement of it all is too much.

Enjoy your day and look after yourselves.

Good Morning everyone from sunny Severnside.

I’m going to rub down and prepare the kitchen sorting for painting today.

Did you get your glory hole sorted Marydoll? I must say I was glad to see someone else using this expression. My mum used to use it and last year I used it when with DD and SiL and they fell about laughing as them being much younger than me it has a whole different meaning. I had to look it up ?? Now they tease me about it.

Take care all and hope the baby is here manc ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Yet another blue sky start with wind as well this morning in Brackley .
Today , a quiet day in, maybe a Chinese take away later.
Yesterdays supermarket que seems to have become non existence, about 8-10 people waiting to go in , where 11 weeks or so it was never ending .
Be nice to get back to normal routine but that could be months away the way things are out there .
Take Care
Mick
