Beechnut, yes we do sing on the church Zoom although the vicar tends to mute us all as the resulting sound can be awful with timing out a little!

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga ? where it’s hot already! Himself is out for his walk. I’m melting here in my pj shorts and vest top.

It was 34°C yesterday so we chose to stay put. We sat in the shade at our front door and with the patio door open behind us it created a pleasant soft breeze!

This photo from the weekly SUR newspaper made me smile yesterday. Arrivals at Malaga airport mid-week. I felt her joy! ‘Hello you!’ x

We will go out to eat this afternoon. First we will walk along the paseo to the bar our friends opened 15 months ago. They are open again after lockdown and will be glad of customers. We’re happy to oblige - we are kind like that!
??

Hope Sunday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Bright, cold, wild and windy here. So different from those hot days last week.
Church on zoom later after a little necessary housework.
I haven't been into a supermarket since early March. I remember my first ever time in 1962. It was such a thrill to be able to pick your own items and no queues, unlike the local shops. Now we've gone full circle.
Hope your Sunday goes well.

Good morning from a sunny cooler E Kent.
Ginny I feel for you. I went to bed the usual time, but DH got up just at the wrong time. If it's after 3am I find it impossible to go back to sleep. So I've been up since 0430 too.
We are annoyed with our vicar for not getting in touch personally throughout the lockdown. He could have mailed the identical letter to his parishioners, but changed the adressee, now we get a sort of prayer sheet once a week addressed to everyone and his dog. The BBC that had had services has now stopped them, we don't like Songs of Praise. Our DD isn't officiating in her church, so I suppose we'll try Canterbury Cathedral, see how that goes.
Big day tomorrow. In a minute I'm putting the sprouts on for our big Christmas dinner tomorrow when my two boys will be here. Yippee!
Hope that today bring peace and ease to everyone. Stay safe, stay well. X

Good morning everyone. It is going to be another scorcher here in Malta today.

I’m feeling very anxious because DD3 told me to be ready at 4.30 this afternoon as she is picking me up but won’t tell me where we are going!

Anyway, before then I have the ironing to do but not much else.

Glad you seem to be getting back to your old routine Mick.

Wishing everyone a good day.☀️

Good morning Mick and everyone, from a much fresher Worcs. The temperature dropped by 10 degrees yesterday.
DH and I decided we wouldn’t walk but would take a drive instead and we went to the Vale of Evesham. Everywhere looked lush and green. We travelled through little villages, and I looked up at an ever-changing sky as the wind pushed the white cloud across the blue.
We stopped to get plants, salad stuff, local Strawberries and Sultana scones.

Not sure what we’ll be up to today. Wishing all a peaceful Sunday ?

mumofmadboys do you sing on the church Zoom?

Good morning Mick and everyone from a calm morning in Cheshire. Yesterday we had torrential rain followed by brilliant sunshine changing completely almost every thirty minutes. Hope to be able to walk this morning without getting drenched like yesterday.

I went to bed early for me and was wide awake at 4.00. Otherwise, same old same old today I’m afraid. I’ve got to work, but will be in touch with my DD a lot as we work together on a project. That’s the bonus.

Hope Sunday is kind to everyone and if you’re able to meet family and friends, have a lovely day. If you're not feeling great I hope things ease for you soon.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where it is sunny.

Being out in the fresh air is good for us Mick and it was rather breezy here yesterday afternoon.

I’ve been thinking about how I was at the beginning of this. A bit scared to go out even walking into town seemed scary with hardly any people and no cars. I must admit I felt safer as I started to shop and get used to how things were going to be and more movement with vehicles. I miss the browsing in shops and just get what I need as I am mindful of people waiting to come in get their things.

I will carry on with my diy today. Had a chat with my new neighbour yesterday over the work they will be having done and stuff that affects our boundary etc.

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday and enjoy your family and friend get togethers ?

Good morning from Cunbria. Weather wild here! Wind and rain! No cycle ride for me this morning. I have got church on Zoom this morning and then next Sunday our church is starting 'normal' services again, although no singing. Have a happy and peaceful Sunday everyone and thinking of those with illness or worries.
