Good Morning Monday

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun has got his hat on in South Yorkshire and its going to be hot, so there will not be a lot done today except that I have some herb seedling to pot up. DD and her menfolk called by with a FD card - just as DH’s football team had started playing on TV. He was very good and gave up watching to join them; they were very good and didn’t stay long (we had spent the previous evening with them)! Corner, comforting that you will get to say a last farewell to your good friend. Hope it goes well.
Whatever you have planned for the day, stay safe one and all.

Just wishing Marydoll well for today and hoping she returns safe and well to the fold. I'll miss her funny and uplifting posts until she returns.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Morning all from a sunny Staffs. DH off to B&Q soon for a few things. Then round to local DD1; DH is going to paint their garage door. I’ll go too in the hope I can get DGD to come back to ours on her bike. (They’re in our bubble). She’s 10 and beginning to get a bit “down”-not like her at all. She likes to play Canasta so we’ll play on table next to open patio door.
Galisajam-I have same problem with DH. He leaves admin to me. He paid our newsagent online recently-v pleased with himself! So important we can do each other’s chores isn’t it so come the day we can manage better.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. Sunny in Suffolk and according to the BBC it will stay this way for quite a while.
I had a rude awakening with cramp and in my rush to get up to clear it I slid off the bed. So elegant!
The front door was a failure so today I need to go and buy more undercoat and paint ( oil based this time) and rub everything down again. ?
DS and DGC came yesterday to see DH for Father’s Day and we played hide and seek and I Spy in the garden for an hour. It was such a treat.
Best wishes to BlueSapphire and anyone else with worries.

P.S. a lovely moment yesterday whilst out for our walk. Stuck on a tree branch was a Father Christmas with a message saying ‘Better things to come’ . Stay Happy ! ♥️

Good morning all. Phew I was glad to get out of bed this morning as I was so hot and stuffy. We had all the windows open too. Nice to get out into the garden for some air. It’s going to be a scorcher and I think it will continue all week. ?

DH had a nice dFathers Day with opening cards and presents and phone calls from AC. We didn’t see them as we’re 80 miles away . We are missing them all but love being here by the sea In this hot weather. Hopefully they will visit very soon.

We’ll all be thinking of you today Marydoll. ?

Pantglas you mentioning LLandudno takes me back to my childhood. On a camping holiday with mum and dad. It rained the whole week and we ended up in B and B. We went into Llandudno and wandered around the gift shops. I bought a little welsh doll in traditional dress. I loved it and had it In my bedroom until I got married. I also went with my choir to the Eisteddford but I’m not sure if that was LLandudno ? ?. Happy memories.

Have a pleasant day all. ?

Sorry, not DS (making cake) it was darling Sister.

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Worcs.

I’ve slept in today, must have been the long walk we had yesterday. It was strange to move along as 3 individual “bubbles” and shouting to speak with each other but it was still a treat. Visibility was clear and in parts we could see beautiful views for miles and miles across the beautiful rural landscape.
Back to the house and my DS had made a splendid Victoria sponge filled and topped with cream and large juicy strawberries. Delish!

I have to shake my bones and get ready for the day as my oldest friend will be coming to the garden mid-morning for a drink and natter. It will be the first time we’ve got together since early March.

Best wishes and ? to all with worries, or just feeling below par , this will end one day. CV19 would seem to be retreating.

Big X for Marydoll today. ?

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Slept late again after being woken by the birds at "stupid o'clock" again.
Stock up at Lidl as DD2 and DGS2 are coming this afternoon. They live in a flat and a 5 year old needs a garden when there's nowhere else to go.
Much love to BlueSapphire, Marydoll and all of you.

Good morning from a bright sunny Morecambe Bay. DH is out running and I’m here ‘writing’ on my iPad. I have just had the invoice from the milkman who I pay by BACs. He has changed his bank details so I’ve had to set him up as a new payee. Such a phaff. I hate setting up someone new as I’m prone to reversing digits so I check half a dozen times. It does make things easier though once set up.
I was wondering how DH would cope with the admin if I couldn’t do it. Things have changed so much over the years. I don’t think he’d have a clue where to begin. I think he’s going to have to have a couple of lessons on internet banking!
We are off to NT Fellfoot for a walk later and will call at Holehird gardens. So glad our little camper van is earning its keep. It enables us to get about without needing public facilities. I have optimistically booked a couple of campsites for later in the year. Here’s hoping it will be safe to go!
Thinking of Marydoll, and sending good wishes to all who are struggling one way or another. Take care, stay safe.?

Morning all from a sunny North Leicestershire.

Yet more garage clearing today - nearly 30 years of accumulated stuff!

DS2 arrived with a card for dh just as we were about to eat DH's special Father"s Day dinner. Of course he was pleased to see him and chat and coped quite well with cold lamb chops after

Thinking of Marydoll.

Good Morning from Fife, where it is a bit damp at the moment. Waiting for skip to turn up as started house improvements. Sending Bluesapphire my good wishes and hope she feels better soon. No plans for today, DH has plenty though. Hope you all have a good day. Take care.

Good morning from Shropshire where the sun is shining.

Car back to the garage this morning?they have a courtesy car for us.After being loyal to this garage for 20 years we had very bad service last week?

Thinking of you Marydoll and wishing you all the best for successful treatment today.

Have a good day all.

Good Morning Mick and all. Lovely sunny start here on the S Welsh coast. All the best to Marydoll for her hospital procedure today ?. Best wishes to BlueSapphire and anyone else who is finding it hard at the moment.
I'm going to make some soup this morning, other than that no plans.
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea.
I had a lovely birthday yesterday, thanks for all your good wishes. DH bought me a sewing machine, I now have to learn how to use it !! I last used one many years ago, but maybe it's like riding a bike and it will all come back to me.
I have some admin to do and the bathrooms need cleaning today.
I'm sure we will have a walk along by the sea at some stage.
Good luck to Marydoll today.
I hope you all have lovely day xx

Good Morning everyone from a sunny Severnside.

I have had a lie in this morning. I’ve some washing to peg out when I get up and then nothing pressing so I will potter. My neighbours are having something done today and I’ll have no electricity for a while.

Have a good day all ?

Got up early to go to the tip, we went yesterday and were turned away as there was a fire! Went online to see if any news about it and discovered that they ope
open at 10 on a Monday! I've left DH to sleep longer, we can go at 9 and queue. Lovely day here, washing in, we might go to the allotment this morning. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and the GM team, from a sunny east London.

My partner has an 8.00am dental appointment in central London and left home at 6.30am to drive in, whilst the roads are quiet. He didn’t want to take the tube, as I am shielding and he’s worried about brining the virus into the house.

Grocery delivery this morning, so I hope he’s back in time to receive it.

Glad to know Mick has been in touch with Blue Sapphire, ? to her.
Hoping the day goes well for Marydoll - good luck flowers for her.
Have a good day all and special wishes for all who need them

Morning All

A perfect English summers morning here in the north of Norfolk. I am wondering whether to suggest to DH that we invite a couple of friends round for afternoon tea in the garden!

Good luck wishes and fingers crossed for a positive outcome to you Marydoll, I hope the excitement of the much awaited appointment doesn’t bring on palpitations! xx

Good morning everyone from Inverness. The sky is light grey again and the sun is on its way ! Yesterday was the perfect washing drying day- sunny, warm and breezy so I was busy washing everything I could find most of the day ?
This morning I’m doing the usual online dance exercise then later walking down to my friends house for a coffee and catch up in the garden. Pre lockdown we’d usually meet weekly at Starbucks, settle into their comfy armchairs and put the world to rights for a couple of hours at least !

Had a lovely video chat with DS yesterday, he’s just finished work at school now for the summer - he was only back two weeks but it did him good I think.

Special wishes to Marydoll

Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and have a good safe day whatever you’re doing ?

Morning all from a dry north Wales- not sure it’s going to stay like that!

Off to Llandudno for DH eye test - the ‘shouldhavegoneto’ place! I’ll pop to Poundland for bits and pieces I’ve run out of over the last few months - toasty bags, magic sponge and things I won’t know until I see em!

Hope Marydoll is a new woman after her treatment- although I do like the old one! Stay safe everyone x

Morning Mick, morning All. Clear sky over our corner of Somerset, the first for a few days. Busy, enjoyable weekend. Attending a good friends funeral this morning, fortunate to be included. Suspect will do very little this afternoon. Good to know there has been contact with you BlueSapphire, best of luck today marydoll. Be gentle with yourselves everyone, it’s still a strange world out there.

Marydoll, may all go well and you come out ready for proper Olympics!

Good morning Mick, grandMattie and all from a glorious morning in Cheshire and it looks like the hot weather is set to return.

The day is calling me to get busy. The bed is stripped and in the wash, and I do have work later, but the coffee is on and I shall sit a while and enjoy the garden.

Thinking of you today Marydolland wishing you well. You've waited a long time for this moment and I hope you finally have a treatment to free you from pain.

One of my oldest friends is coming to sit in the garden later. My first visitor for 13 weeks! Enjoy your day everyone. Glad to hear that you're doing OK Blue Sapphire. We're here for you.
