Good Morning Everyone,
Yet another bright sunny start here in Brackley , to what appears to be the start high temperatures for the rest of the week .
Trying to adapt my routine again, with housework this morning, then a trip into Buckingham to take a toilet seat back late lunch, then an easy afternoon .
Take Care ,
Mick

So pleased to see all went well Marydoll. Take time now to rest up and recover completely xx

Good morning from Malta. It’s sunny as usual.

Very glad to hear you are recovering from yesterday’s treatment, Marydoll. Hope you will feel better as the day goes on.

I’m visiting DD3 this morning as she’s babysitting for a friend and I love babies.

We are no longer restricted from visiting friends and family so things are much more normal, apart from still having to wear masks for shopping etc.

I can’t help but worry that opening the borders next month will see a spike in cases but we shall have to wait and see.

Have a good day all, whatever you are doing.☀️

Forgot my reason for coming on !
Well done Marydoll glad to hear all went well ?

A grey Good Morning to you all , there is a steady drizzle Which is better than the driving downpours we have been experiencing
Yesterday I had a brief run out , DD was collecting plants from the nursery so I went along for the ride , I couldn’t relax ! Lockdown has made a prisoner of some of us ! so I didn’t get out of the car , but it was great to see how much the countryside has changed , and crane my neck to note who has been improving the gardens and who has given up !

Bargy not Barry!

Grandmabatty Hi. I agree, this is one of the nicest, regular threads. Soop’s Kitchen and Miss Marydoll’s Daily Maths Class are happy, gentle ones too. If you want a lively evening then drop into *The Old Argy Barry Bar“ thread.?

Marydoll Tue 23-Jun-20 08:33:27

Grandmabatty, we have the fish lady, who calls every Tuesday from Anstruther!

grannysyb Tue 23-Jun-20 08:30:43

Bright and sunny here, washing in, to peg out before we go for a walk. I think that I will have to go and water the allotment this afternoon hard work as we only have hand pumps! There was a very small courgette when we went on Saturday, hope it hasn't turned into a marrow!

Puzzler61 Tue 23-Jun-20 08:28:32

Pants Hurrah for You. Holibobs ✈️⛱???- get packing ?
Will up you be able to attend “Maffs skool” wen yoo is abwowd? (I hope so).

Grandmabatty Tue 23-Jun-20 08:27:53

Good morning all from Polmont. And a doggy and grey morning it is too! I'm very jealous of your summery days further south. I'm recently new to this chat and it's lovely to read how kind people are to each other. I'm glad you are recovering Mary doll. I'm waiting for the fish man who calls every Tuesday morning from Pittenweem in Fife. Then a spot of babysitting my grandson to let my daughter catch up with work. Have a good day everyone, whatever your weather!

Good morning from the NE where it is starting to get a little brighter.
Much better night without pain.
Hoping to get some fresh air today.
Take care.

Good morning Mick and all x

Beautifully sunny day here in S E Essex.

We are heading down to one of our local beaches to meet up with my sister, her husband and their children. I haven't seem her since the week between Christmas and New Year which is the longest time between visits (even when we were living in different countries).

Put your feet up and rest today Marydoll

Be kind to yourself BlueSaphire

keep safe and well folks ?

Puzzler61 Tue 23-Jun-20 08:24:15

Good morning Mick and all. We’ve got some of Urmstongran and Bellasnana’s hot sunshine for the rest of this week. ☀️ Watering in the garden will resume!

I’ll be “pootering” this morning, and garden visiting a friend this afternoon. I must slather sun cream on as yesterday I got a red sunburnt shoulder (just 1). I had thought I was under the parasol, nattering away for quite a while on the ‘phone, and It became very apparent later in the day - I wasn’t!

Marydoll glad you’re home ? Will you take it gentle today and “pooter” carefully too please?

Everyone else, enjoy the sunshine, take care ?

Good Morning All x
Where's this sunshine ? It's heavy grey cloud, trees wafting about a bit and not looking too promising. Ah well, can't expect too much I don't suppose.

Turned on the comp. to find it had been doing its own thing during the night with a new start-up page and things looking different. I'll manoeuvre my way around it at some point.

A bit of local shopping, I fancy some lamb chops today so I'll see what the butcher's got.
If nothing else, this lockdown has curbed my spending as I'm not buying stuff that I don't want/ need.
It'll have to be an early dart out because the awaited parcel didn't arrive yesterday.

One of the arms fell off my reading glasses last night so I hunted around and found the other pair that was with them. Cheap ones from Asda years ago as my eyes were last tested in 2003 grin but these specs are ideal 2.5-----must be the statins keeping the plaque build-up at bay, they're fine.

Good to see you back in the land of the living Marydoll you'll soon be up and at 'em in a few days. x

Everyone else, remain safe and well and enjoy the day xx

Short and brief today. It's raining here in Fife, another day of drizzle. So glad all is well Marydoll, really chuffed for you. Thinking of all those with anxieties/problems, keep your chin up.

Nannytopsy Tue 23-Jun-20 08:00:59

Good morning Mick and all his followers. You gave up on the toilet seat then? They can be a real pain to fit. We find you need more than one pair of hands!
Sunny in Suffolk again - some gardening if it isn’t too hot.
Well, a very thorough sanding down and another £60 on paint and this time the front door looks lovely! The gloss will go on early tomorrow.
Good news Marydoll and welcome back.
We shall have to find something new to watch on TV tonight - we have finished all the series of Cardinal on iplayer.
I hope everyone is kind to themselves today.

Lins1066 Tue 23-Jun-20 07:58:02

Good Morning Mick and all. Lovely morning here on the S Welsh coast.
A pod of porpoises was spotted in the bay a couple of days ago, a sure sign of warm weather.
Good to hear that everything went well Marydoll, look after yourself. Have a good day everyone.
Stay safe.

Morning All

Another wonderful summers day here in the north of Norfolk.

So pleased to hear that all went well yesterday Marydoll Relief all round!

We had intended to take our campervan for a run today to see if it still goes after not moving for so long, but DH disturbed a white-tailed bees nest in the garden yesterday and the bees didn’t like it. He’s been stung a few times around his ankle, didn’t get much sleep, his ankle is swollen this morning and he can only hobble and has taken himself back to bed, so I’ve a morning to myself (apart from DGD3’s reading practice).

Greyduster Tue 23-Jun-20 07:52:42

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Wall to wall sunshine this South Yorkshire morning. It’s going to be hot so a day of relative inactivity is called for, interspersed with some gentle domestics. We had a good walk yesterday in the country park. Lots of water babies around - this little one not very old I think. Mum was bringing him lunch. Have a good day folks. Slap on the sun cream.

gillybob Tue 23-Jun-20 07:52:16

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a bright start to Tuesday. Some good weather predicted for the rest if the week .....jeez knows we need it . ?

So pleased to hear from you this morning Marydoll. I’m glad it’s over with for you. Now try to enjoy a nice day of rest .(if that’s possible for you ) smile

Enjoy choosing your new carpet grandMattie . I love the smell of a new carpet and I’m so envy of that crisp white paint work . My stairs are in desperate need of painting but I live in a 3 storey house and there’s so much paintwork I’m feeling tired just thinking about it .

Have as good a day as possible everyone . Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from Shropshire where the sun is shining.

We have the car back so hoping the ongoing saga is over.The garage accepted they were at fault so no charge.I just hope there negligence hasn’t damaged the car.My husband preferred the courtesy car to our car Cherry!

Glad you are back in the fold Marydoll and hope after a restful day today you feel much better?

Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness. There’s small patches of blue in the sky this morning with the sun peeping through ?. Yesterday I walked down to my friends house early afternoon to sit in her garden for a catch up. It just started raining when I arrived so had to sit outside just under her porch whilst she sat inside the porch -we did giggle quite a lot but kept to the rules and had a lovely time!

So very pleased you’re back home Marydoll and your treatment went well. Sorry you’re feeling yucky though and hope that eases soon - Take it easy , you’re a very special lady ❤️

His lucky are you Pantglas !! I’m not at all jealous ?

Have a great day all, thinking all GNs with worries and troubles, hope you all enjoy the day ?

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. I think this is the start of a mini heatwave.
We went to view our new car yesterday which is now at the local dealership and very nice it is too.
We will be picking it up on the 1st July after DH has returned his company car to Birmingham on the 29th June. The week after we will be selling mine. We cannot justify having 2 cars as mine hardly gets used. I'm sure there will be times when we will wish we had 2 but we will have to compromise.
I need to stay in and wait for a delivery that I missed yesterday when we were at the garage. I think DH is off to pay in a cheque at the bank.
Marydoll glad all went well.
Have a lovely day everyone and carry on staying safe xx

grandMattie Tue 23-Jun-20 07:46:38

Great nes Marydoll. Hope it worked. X

NanKate Tue 23-Jun-20 07:39:39

Morning Mick and All.

The sun us up in South Bucks and the heat is cranking up.

Onward and upward Marydoll ?

Enjoy your Zoom Kitty. I had my first one last Friday and was not that impressed, maybe it will grow on me.

It’s my DS’s 46 birthday today, where have the years gone?

I have got a friend coming round for coffee this morning (well she brings a flask) so I had better get a move on.
