Good Morning from a bright and sunny Black Country.

It is DD's first day of school holidays here, so I am going over to sit in their garden, and maybe a walk round the fields near their village.

Yesterday my Partner took a load of junk to the tip. You have to book a slot now, which I think is better as he was straight in, and out within a few minutes.

Home made battered fish and chips tonight.

Enjoy your break in the New Forest NanKate it is a lovely area. Have been camping there in the past and remember a pony going right inside someones tent looking for food.

It would have been Upton Blues Festival this weekend. 4 days of live music in the town. It is usually packed, so it sadly had to be cancelled. We usually camp, but this year would have been the first in our caravan. Which we bought the end of last year, and not used it yet. A testing out trip is planned for the last few days of July.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning snick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset. Off for a walk this morning, not sure what else today, bit achey so nothing strenuous. The tickets will come I’m sure mick, plenty of time. Fingers crossed for gilly, it must be a tense wait. You’re right about carers marydoll, often overlooked. Go gently with the baking. Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good Morning everyone from a cloudy start to the day on Severnside.

I will do my weekly food shop this morning and then take the day as it comes. I think I’ll go and do it in another town for a change.
Have a good day everyone ?

Morning Mick and All

Cloud with sun breaking through in South Bucks.

Off for our first hols since the Lockdown. I know it will be very different from our normal hols as we will be wearing masks most of the time whilst out. I hate them and I can’t breathe properly but I know it has to be done. DH is far more rigorous than me and will no doubt sleep in his. ?

Hope your open air markets open soon Mary and that you get some summer in your northerly part of the world.

I will greet you from the New Forest tomorrow with a pony or two in the background, maybe some of the donkeys from Beaulieu will pop round for a carrot ?

Good morning Mick and all from a wet Glasgow.☹️

Glad to hear you got your tickets sorted Mick. I know you have a printer, could you not manage to print them out, saves worrying about the post.?

Well Pantglas, a local market, oh how I wish I could be there for two reasons!
Firstly, I love Spanish markets and secondly, shielders in Scotland from today, can visit an open air market.
Unfortunately, I'm in wet and miserable old Glasgow and secondly, I can't find an open air market to visit!! ?

DH is reluctantly golfing, he is a fairweather golfer ⛳?️‍♂️ and doesn't like getting wet! ⛈️☔ I don't like him getting wet either, as the house will be strewn with wet and smelly golfing clothes!?

Another easy day for me, I'm still out of sorts, but may bake to take my mind off things.

Hugs for all our poorly goodmorningers and their families. Sometimes I think we forget the carers it's difficult for them too.

Have a good day folks.

Morning everyone from a slightly cloudy E Kent.
Pant, I’ve finished two buckets to date! ? Mick, it seems all systems go. All the best.
Doing the church flowers this morning. I picked a whole load of wild flowers, some privet and some ivy to go with the dark red gladioli. It’ll certainly be different.
gilly, customers can certainly be very unkind and keep you dangling. I trust the order comes through today.
Everyone, have a peaceful day, your minds calmed your bodies at rest. Stay safe

Morning Mick from cool and dry Spain where I’m enjoying the chamberpot before setting to with some yoga ?‍♀️. Glad you’ve managed to sort your break!

Some food shopping today and staying in this evening- I like a quiet spell after socialising two days on the trot! Managed to pick up some paperbacks in the local market so will settle down with one this evening on the terrace with some iced tea - I know how to live it up don’t I ?

Nice to see old posters returning and hope those not feeling clever pick up soon ?
