Morning. It’s bright and sunny, but not terribly warm yet. We are promised a warmish, dry day, 19 C in E Kent.
Mick, if I were you I’d accept holidays in autumn. I love going away then, and in spring... enjoy your fish and chips.
The painters have left. They gave me a lovely bunch of florist flowers and a box of chocolates! Apparently, we were among the very nicest clients ever. And they told us to call them to do any little job, including installing a blind I ordered yesterday. How nice is that?
Today is going to be spent tidying up. I don’t want to do my study/sew room until the new Ikea stuff arrives next week. It might be a bit of a power struggle with DH. Never fear, I usually win ?
Otherwise, life plods on. To be honest, isolation hasn’t really been that different, just inability to meet the odd person for coffee or the rare foray to shops. The only change has been our inability to visit DD and her family in Bristol. Since we no longer drive that far, train might be a bit iffy for the moment.
I hope today kind to you all. Enjoy the sunshine and warmth if you get it.
Stay safe, stay well.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a much brighter morning in Cheshire. Plenty of high clouds around, but lots of blue too. It poured and poured yesterday, I thought it would never stop.

Fingers crossed that your holiday plans may slowly return to 'fairly' normal Mick.

Busy work day today, but not before a nice breakfast and a walk to sustain me as I catch up with neighbours. We have such a laugh and that bit of human contact each day keeps me positive, as does just saying 'Hi' each morning to GM friends on Mick's thread.

Have a good day everyone and warm wishes to those with extra cares. flowers for all.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it does not look very nice at all outside. I can’t see the hill that DD lives behind.

I have a coach trip booked for one day next week and don't know yet whether it is going to happen. Either way I have decided not to go.

I finished off a few craft jobs yesterday and after my shop and bed changing today I might carry on and do some more.

Is your DH looking forward to retirement Sar53 ?

I hope everyone with worries and pains feel better today and we all have the best day we can ☔️?

Morning Mick and all..had my biggest 'lockdown blip' yesterday..so kick up the backside today !
Bits of blue sky here in Lancashire so fingers crossed for a gardening day!
Not mine..my neighbour who is paraplegic and due to ongoing problems, he at the moment has to spend 22hours of each day lay flat on his back...and he never moans.. makes me feel ashamed of having a 'fed up day
Take care and let's all keep smiling ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a grey ,wet and windy start here in Brackley this morning, my usual Friday shop.
Just up the road the Fish & Chip shop as reopened and I am tempted to get take away F & C for a change.
Popped into the bank yesterday first time for about 13 weeks , its working on a one in, one out basis.
Otherwise a usual day at home .
I did hear from usual trip and holiday operator , providing a SAE as well what Holidays I had scheduled for August .
His staff are furloughed as well, his masterplan is to either have breaks in late Autumn or 2021 , depending on the distancing as to coaches and hotels etc.
Take Care ,
Mick
