Good Morning Everyone,
Its a nice clear blue sky this morning over Brackley .
Today a quiet day , with a small shop this morning .
Lunch and then a nap .
Yesterday , apart from heavy rain whilst out was a reasonable day out .
Looking forward to next weekends break.
Reading local reports Northampton where Blue Sapphire is has gone into a lockdown, with local warnings about being careful etc .
Take care ,
Mick

Thank you Puzzler. He’s doing well and keeping upbeat.

Puzzler61 Sun 26-Jul-20 16:42:55

What a great reason to treat yourselves to a home cooked Sunday roast.
Hope Mr W continues to make good progress Lyn.

A peaceful, quiet day here. Bit damp here so not tempted to do any gardening and don’t feel guilty. Have just enjoyed a take away roast dinner from local inn. So lovely not to have to cook. They have it all sorted. All ready for collection, in one door, out of another, staff stand back whilst you picking up - already paid for so no messing with cash machine. Was a celebration meal as Mr W just finished a 4 week course of radiotherapy. Hope everyone else having a good Sunday.

Marydoll I bet you were surprised, touched and thrilled with that mesmerising picture of a place that means so much to you. I hope you are cheerier today. ?

Puzzler61 Sun 26-Jul-20 16:23:46

Okidokeee ?

BladeAnnie Sun 26-Jul-20 15:38:26

Greyduster Sun 26-Jul-20 11:28:10

BladeAnnie??. If they lose today I am going to hide in a cupboard for the rest of the week, out of DH’s way. But we’re going to win, aren’t we?! Yessss!

Good morning from a cloudy and breezy East Midlands.

I love Spangler and thank you for the photo.

I have a 1953 Ford Pop which my husband is doing a refit on at the moment.

Marydoll - I hope you feel better soon and I love the print of Paisley, such a lovely place.

Take care all and have the best day possible. I am heading back to bed as I had a rubbish two nights sleep.

Good Morning all. Cloudy here, we've had a shower, not. much hope of anything brighter! Had small GS yesterday, he's obsessed with counting. When he gets to 20, it's two-ty, then two-ty-one and two-ty-two. I think it's pretty good for a 6 year old who has Down Syndrome!

Puzzler61 Sun 26-Jul-20 11:08:01

Enjoy the match BAnnie May the best team win, as long as it’s yours ? X.

BladeAnnie Sun 26-Jul-20 11:01:47

Good morning from breezy mid -Notts. I'm not sure if the sun is going to shine or it's going to pour with rain. A lazy day for us with football ⚽ this afternoon!! Final game of the season too. It's not quite the same watching on t.v. as being there. But being realistic that's probably how it's going to be for some time to come. Hope everyone has the best day possible and please stay safe. Up the Blades and all that too!! X

Goooood morning everyone from Yorkshire.... the sun was beaming this morning, glorious....

Yesterday I ventured into town complete with mask ! I can't say that the experience was as I expected, I know it is a necessity..... BUT !
Last night my GD slept so today we are having a fabulous girlie day.

I wish everyone a lovely Sunday, whatever you all choose to do... smile

Froglady Sun 26-Jul-20 10:30:19

Quite an overcast day in Blackburn.
I have just given a Bose music system to freecycle (it had an intermittent fault on it and I'm not technically minded to be able to sort it out). I will be on the lookout for a cd player, with speakers and, hopefully, a DAB radio as well. I like to have something in most rooms that I can play music on.
I shall be tidying up a bit today as am having my flat deep cleaned tomorrow, so want to put away as much stuff as I can do.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 26-Jul-20 09:53:49

Good morning Mick and all

The clouds have obliterated the blue sky (they are going your way Sar53 ) . I shall have another lazy day until we go out for a late Sunday lunch.

I do hope that A suitable Boy is good tonight as I am looking forward to the series.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning from east London, sunny early on, then clouded and brightening up again; that’s what happens when you get your head stuck in a book (Maja Lunde, The end of the ocean). Today will be quiet compared to yesterday; we had GD2 all day while her parents demolished a wall at the Southend house and she kept me well entertained. We borrowed GD1 from her dad for the afternoon so all bar the babe got wet when we walked to the park but didn’t care as both GDs were enjoying themselves and it was quite mild. GD2 (nearly 7 months) is a lot more active now, what with her reverse crawling, double rolls and sitting up to change direction. Amazing how fascinating the cord on her jogger pants is and the flecks in the carpet. GD1 talks to her all the time, tells her she’s going to teach her how to do things safely like to jump off the second step up the staircase first, not the fourth one like she does (....).
Back to basics, tomato plants to feed plus some to pick and decide if I’m going to cook something specific for dinner. Have a good day.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Have you watched El Camino gilly ? There is also Better call Saul.
We watched The Promise last night, quite harrowing but I watched it right through. DH said that it had actually made a loss at the box office.
Managed about an hour in the garden yesterday but it soon gets too cool to sit here in the north.
Not surprised at the quarantine announcement.

Urmstongran Sun 26-Jul-20 09:17:16

‘What y’gonna do?’ ?

gillybob Sun 26-Jul-20 09:14:32

Oh I did cry Urms

Mainly for poor Hank who I loved . But was sad when Walt died too even though he was technically a bad guy ( he killed himself really didn’t he ?) . I was so worried for Jesse but glad he made it through . I loved the whole 5 series’ .

So Sopranos is your next recommendation ? Great that’s me sorted . smile

Greyduster Sun 26-Jul-20 09:14:22

Good morning Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining on and off in South Yorkshire. We had none of the much heralded storms yesterday; no rain at all. Maybe today is the day, or maybe a lot of people in the Met Office should be paid by results! I had a terrible sneezing fit in a supermarket yesterday (behind a mask I hasten to add!). Instant social distancing took place!
Not sure what we are doing today. Not a lot I suspect. Boeuf Strognoff for dinner. Have a safe journey to Scotland Oldgoat and a lovely stay.
Have a good day folks.

Urmstongran Sun 26-Jul-20 09:08:51

Oh gillybob did you cry? I thought the acting was just brilliant. I cared so much for all the characters!

Next up: The Sopranos.
I rated it equally (if not a teeny bit better!).

Marydoll Sun 26-Jul-20 09:03:20

Oh, I love those cars! ?

Someone on the GM thread asked me for my tablet recipe, but I can't remember whom. If you remind me, I will send it.

Spangler Sun 26-Jul-20 09:02:36

Urmstongran Sun 26-Jul-20 08:37:31Enjoy your jaunt out in Jessica Spangler she’s a beauty! Bet she turns heads wherever you go and sparks discussions with petrol heads everywhere.

You are psychic, just stop anywhere and gentlemen of a certain age will be taking photos on their phones.

EllanVannin Sun 26-Jul-20 08:41:37Spangler, my brother had an MG in the 60's, he bought it from the daughter of Pilkington ( Pilkington's Glass St.Helens ) actress April Wilding---back in the day. It was a nippy little red one he'd used during his courting day.

Such a pedigree for a car, I would loved to have seen that.

Gingster Sun 26-Jul-20 08:48:36
Ooh-la-la!

gillybob Sun 26-Jul-20 08:57:53

Meant to add that I finished Breaking Bad last night Urms dunno how I will fill my nights . Loved it .
