Good Morning Sunday

The sun has just come out in Newcastle upon Tyne. The garden is thankful for the rain yesterday and my window boxes are really coming into their own. Yesterday we had a wonderful street concert by a string quartet & a singer from Northern Sinfonia (one of them lives at the bottom of the street). The programme was Bach, Telemann, Schubert, Britten and Sondheim! They're going to do it again at noon next Saturday and put a hat out for St. Oswald's Hospice. Something to look forward to! I've also booked tickets for this afternoon to see the gardens at Whalton Manor near Morpeth. All the family is going, although I am in a bubble with daughter No.1 and grandson, I will have to keep the distance from the rest. Nevertheless, it will be lovely to see everyone!

Good Morning all from showery Harrogate - or wait it might be brightening up!! Had a soggy wet walk with the dog yesterday, could be the same today! Then sewing more laundry bags!

Good morning everyone from a blustery and showery Oxfordshire, I’ve had a rough week with symptoms ranging from aching limbs, runny nose, cough(asthma inhalers sorted it though) and have now spent all night in the loo with D and S. plus a headache all week that I can’t shift.
so DH has just ordered 2 Covid test kits. In normal times I would just shrug and say that I’ve picked up a bug, but as we haven’t been anywhere apart from the Chemist and some click and collect shopping it’s a bit odd. Anyway , I should know one way or the other in the next few days, meanwhile more paracetamol and rest for my achy arms and legs.
Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

What a lovely post NanKate.
We too have been married for 51years and known each other for about 56 years. Yes how the years go by. Far too quickly and as you say it would be good for them to go less quickly. Your trip out and dinner tonight sounds exciting. Hope you can celebrate many years to come.

Good morning everyone from Milton Keynes.
Sunny and a bit breezy.
Going for a walk in the woods with my daughter.
Centre MK is open so will be popping up there at some point.
Only the Intu part may be shut down.
Saw 3 of my grandchildren yesterday which was so lovely.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning from sunny??? Devon, mix of sunshine, cloud & very windy but it's fine.

Planning a relaxed Sunday after a very busy day yesterday. 1st meeting of Friends of Newton Abbot Station, spent the afternoon planting up the existing planters which were in a sorry state. Very enjoyable, I hope we can improve the look of the Station for the benefit of Staff & Passengers

Busy week ahead, although I'm avoiding Tourist areas I am managing to get out more, masks at the ready, hand sanitizer & wipes.

Have a good day all

Wet and windy here in Blackburn just as it was yesterday. Not the sort of weather to venture out in.

Good afternoon from a wild and windy Durham - managed to retrieve my washing (left out overnight, as it was torrential rain when I went to bed) from neighbour’s garden, 3 houses away.
My DD2 used to work at an INTU Centre, so I’m really pleased she packed retail in and moved into banking a couple of years ago. That’s both Eldon Square and MetroCentre near us in jeopardy. I love a browse around when the weather’s poor - just window shopping and a stop at Costa for coffee.

Not a lot planned today - glass of fizz with a friend later. She’s moving after a second divorce and trying to downsize 37 years in the same house into boxes and a skip!

Hope everyone stays safe today. X

What a terrible time you are having you poor thing*Oopsadaisy*. Hope you symptoms begin to ease off soon and of course your test result will be negative?

Thanks * kalu* not sure how long it takes for the tests to get here, I’ll probably be better by the time it does ( fingers crossed)

How worrying for you Oopsadaisy
I think the postal results come back within 48 hours.
My friend's son had his done at a testing place and the results were back in 4 hours - negative.

How wonderful for your family MaryDoll a perfect medicine!!
Shame about the rain but in a way it was better and much more real for wee GD. xx
