Good Morning Wednesday

This one, Urmston! It’s on my brain too?

I forgot this!

Wow! Thank you all so much for the lovely birthday wishes, you’ve made my day.

Pantglas thanks for your nice comment, I can assure you I look every bit of my age when I look in the mirror

Welcome to my ‘almost twin’ benjamina. Is your birthday tomorrow or was it yesterday? That’s a coincidence! I spent my 40th in Gozo as well! My late DH took me for the weekend. Happy memories indeed.

Thanks again to my good morning friends. You’re all very special.?

Good morning Mick and everyone from a drizzly Cheshire. I went back to bed at 5.00 after being awake for hours and actually slept.

Happy Birthday Bellasnana. Have a lovely day. Sorry you're having such troubles Marydoll. Tiny steps a day at a time.

The bane of my garden is the squirrels. Cheeky blighters eat my rose buds. Sit on the wall and munch them! Went online to order a new smoothie maker yesterday, popped into the women's fashions and accidentally bought a dress and then accidentally bought some sandals to go with it. No smoothie maker.

Another work day ahead, but first a walk in the drizzle. Hey ho! Have a good day everyone. [flowrs] for all.

Wishing you many happy returns of the day Bellasnana you certainly don’t look 64 years old! Got me thinking of that old Beatles’ song now ... ??

I’m slightly concerned about EllanVannin who has gone AWOL. Most unlike her. I sent her a p.m. and didn’t get a reply. I hope all is well over on the Costa Mersey?

Hi Benjamina. Welcome. Glad you’ve decided to join in.

I’m a Cancerian too ?

Don’t work too hard and I hope you have something nice planned for tomorrow ?

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga ?

Even though are communal gardens are opening today we are still happier going to the beach. More arrivals last night I noticed - big cars parking up, suitcases in the boot = more people from further afield. I don’t want to use the swimming pool just yet so we shall head off once I’ve finished my coffee and made up some sandwiches.

I can’t believe it’s 1st July already can you?

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

Good morning everyone, I have been reading your posts for a while now and decided to take the plunge and join in. You seem a lovely lot!

I am in the north west of England (wish it was the north west of somewhere exotic). Todays forecast is light cloud and a gentle breeze. Bring back the sun!

Today I am working from home - I have always worked full time but decided that this is the last year - so I am on 3 days a week Jan 20 to Dec 20 - Then freedom!!

Happy birthday to Bellasnana - we are the same age almost exactly. Just one day differant. I wonder if we share the same cancerian traits? I also wonder how the years flew by and I got to this age. I still feel much younger in my head!

I spent my 40th birthday in Malta sailing on a ferry over to Gozo - lovely day - lovely memory.

I suppose I had better log on to my work for the day now. At least its my "Friday" Hope everyone has the best day they can and life is kind to everyone.

Would just add in case anyone was wondering, the cousins are part of our family bubble!

Good morning Mick and all.
? Happy Birthday to You Bellasnana ?
? ? ?
I hope you have a special day, you deserve it, along with your DD and friend.
Marydoll I’m sorry your hands are painful. Keep resting but please don’t stop posting!! ??‍?

My ‘diary’ is empty today. DH is at golf and I’m trying to decide what I want to do. Problem is I’ll prevaricate too long and probably not do much.
It’s ok to have a day like that now and again.
It’s dry but grey outside.

Wishing everyone a worry and pain free day. Grans with plans - have a good one. ?

Good morning from an overcast Manchester. Happy birthday Bellsnana???? from another cancerian. Mr manc out for a run, I'm meeting a friend for a walk, hopefully the rain keeps off. Had gs 1 and 2 yesterday, age 2 and 4, for a few hours. They are cousins and play really well together. They say the funniest things. Have a good day everyone. (((hugs))) for those who need one for those with extra cares or worries

Good Morning from a dull and drizzly Fife. Another yuk day here. Bellasnana Happy Birthday hope you have a wonderful day, make the most. Sorry to hear of your interruption of sleep Marydoll - nothing worse but I suppose they have to take the chance to all that work. Had a lovely visit yesterday from DD and DGS's which perked me up. DH under the floor at the time moving electrics so DGS1 had to have a wee nosey too until he saw all the spider webs .
Going to go out this morning for much needed shopping on my own first time in ages so will have a quiet wander around the supermarket. Nice to see some back who have been having a little rest away enjoy your day. Grandmafrench - yes I promise to be a good girl

We are overrun with rabbits, Gelisajams. We have spent a fortune on plants and shrubs (rabbit food) . We have got to know which ones they don’t eat. Geraniums, petunias, lilies, Daffoldils. Not many others. They even nibbled my Rosa regosas. We have to fence things off so hopefully they will survive. We even had our large garden rabbit proofed a few years back but they just burrow underneath. Blighters. ! ?. Baby rabbits abound at the moment and tbh they are very cute, ?

Good morning high cloud here in Leicestershire.

Happy Birthday * Bellasnana* I hope you have a lovely day.

Meeting friends this morning and taking our own coffee then walk with another friend this afternoon.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all from an overcast Suffolk coast. We are due rain today, ?.

Happy birthday Bellasnanna.

Sar53. We recently went down to one car and it is strange , but it just takes a bit of planning. I use the car more than my DH . His main outing is to the golf club, so I take him and pick him up, then I have the car all day.

I’ve booked my seat for the cinema next week. The seats were getting booked so fast, so I thought I better get in quick. Of course it will only be 60 percent full. I’ll see how it goes from opening day and see how I feel at the time. The tickets aren’t dear so it won’t matter if I chicken out at the last minute.

Can’t believe it’s 1st July, - all these weeks of nothing happening. I had so much planned for this summer as I have a special birthday coming up and my GD’s 18th, 2 weddings and a trip to the Netherlands. My 2 friends who I started school with are both 70 this summer too and we were going to celebrate in style. Oh well, hopefully next year. ?

As long as we all stay well , ?

Good morning from a cloudy, damp Morecambe Bay. At least it’s not raining. DH is out running leaving me in bed.
Birthday ?for Bellasnana. Have a lovely day.
If it stays fine I’m going to have a gardening day. First off for a lady down the road then off to my little patch at church. If I have any energy or motivation left I’ll see what I can do in my garden. The wild winds of the weekend have done quite a bit of damage. Why do I not learn to stake the plants before they blow over rather than after? I have another problem in the garden too! A wild rabbit has appeared. He/She arrived yesterday and DH reports it was back this morning. Goodness knows how much has been munched. I do like to see wildlife when I’m out and about and even in the garden, but I’d rather it didn’t nibble my plants.
Wishing everyone a good day, take care, stay safe?

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Hopefully the weather will improve as we have DD1 and co here this afternoon and it's much better to sit in the garden when it's warm.

Zoom carer's course this morning.

Many happy returns, Bella.

Good Morning Mick and all. Widespread cloud here on the S Welsh coast. Happy Birthday Bellasnana have a lovely day ?. Have a restful day Marydoll, no overdoing things.
Not much going on here at present, little oomph for anything. Stay safe everyone.

Good morning from a grey Torbay, Happy Birthday Bellasnana have a lovely day,
Not much planned for today, food delivery this afternoon, I get very excited about it, sad I know, I am leading a sheltered life ?
Will take my dog for a walk and then some pottering.
Take care all and stay safe.

Good morning all and wishing you a very happy birthday Bellasnana

Good morning everyone from Inverness and Happy Birthday Bellasnana ! ??? It’s still raining ☔️ but suppost to be brighter later. I hope so as it’s also my DD2 birthday today and we’re going to her garden later ! Just like you yesterday marydoll whatever the weather we’ll enjoy ourselves even if we’re sitting under an umbrella with coats on - just pretend you’re camping my OH says ... ?
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today, especially if feeling a bit fed up, hope something comes along to brighten your day, take care ?

Good morning from a sunny Essex by the sea.
Happy Birthday Bellasnana, have a lovely day. I'm also a Cancerian, all the best people are ???
We are off to pick up our new car this morning and I have an appointment to sell mine at 1.00. It will be strange only having one car but now that DH is retired, first day today, we cannot justify having two.
We finished sorting out the office yesterday, lots of paper rubbish to be recycled, and it looks so much better.
No other plans today.
Have a lovely day everyone and stay safe xx

Morning all from a dull north Wales where I’ve shifted myself onto GN sharpish as I missed yesterday when ‘events overtook me!

Unexpected visitors, though lovely to see and chat to over a distanced coffee, meant it was after lunch by the time I got to read about all your doings!

Happy birthday Bellasnana - you certainly don’t look 64 in that pic the other day!?

Started cleaning my umble little abode ready for my long awaited trip to my even more umble casa on Saturday and will do a little more today - ‘‘tis an actual joy whereas I normally hate cleaning, lazy lump that I am!?

Good morning from east London, bright and sunny with a few clouds. Tennis this morning, we were due to start earlier at 8.30 in case it was as hot as last week but we’ve reverted to our usual 9.30 spot. Keen to see if my last item I ordered from the Next sale will arrive today; I ordered 6 items, mainly for the GDs and so far I’ve had 5 items delivered separately over the last week. It’s like a drip feed; at least I only paid one lot of postage.
Happy birthday Bellasnana and to others who may be celebrating today.
Hope everyone has a good day even if it’s just a normal one.

Morning Mick, morning All. Gloomy start to our corner of Somerset, rain forecast this morning, enough now. Sounds as if a nap would be good marydoll. Happy birthday bellasnana, enjoy every minute. Managed to secure tickets for a walk in the grounds of our local NT, forecast says rain will coincide with the timing. Hope it’s wrong, not sure we’d enjoy it. See when the time comes. Other than that there is ironing and a food shop order to complete. Enough to fill the day for sure. Be gentle with yourselves everyone, life can be tough.
