I shall be motionless if it’s too warm today Puzzler ?
At the moment it is very grey and wet on Severnside.

After the funeral I attended yesterday I went to see my SiL as I have not seen him since before lockdown. We had a lovely catchup and he gave me some plants. As it had been an emotional day I poured a glass of wine on my return home.

I’ve no plans for today so will potter.

Hope you all have the best day you can ?

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s another gorgeous sunny day ahead ?

In the gardens yesterday I had a dip in the pool and the deep blue sky didn’t have one bit of white cloud. It felt like another day in paradise. Cesar, our gardener, had cut the grass at 8am before it got too hot and looking out I can see he’s cutting branches off the palm trees.

I wake each morning to the sounds of the birds. Parakeets, swifts (just about gone now though - flown off to Africa I expect for the winter), wood pigeons or seagulls. This morning it’s the turn of the pigeons!

The sky is a soft pink wash over the Mediterranean this morning. It looks very pretty and as I drink my morning cuppa on the balcony I can smell the pine trees.

Hope Thursday (wot, already?) is kind to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Weather should be mighty fine today.
“Happy Birthday” to me today. I am 53 and up until I spoke to my sister last night I was convinced I was 54 today so I am more than happy this morning? not sure why my maths was so mixed up.
Off to the kennels with the pooch in a while then we are off to Whitby on the motorcycle for 4 days for my birthday treat. Whitby is my most favourite place in the world.
Hope that Mr G.Bob is feeling better and also Marydoll and any other ‘ good morningers’ who are struggling in any way shape or form are able to get through today with a smile in their hearts❤️
Take care everyone and stay safe.

Morning Mick from a warm Espana - will you be watching the Tour of Poland which has just started? I didn’t know there was one!

I’m titivating this morning before lunching with some ladies (or lushes as we like to think of ourselves ?) then joining t’other ‘alves at another bar later on.

Glad to hear Henry (sorry I got his name wrong) will be seen soon Susan56 and hope everyone else awaiting treatment hears good news - I know Annsixty is desperate for her hip op and is in some pain ?

Some ? for all who need it x

Good morning Mick, it’s a dull, motionless, warm start in Worcs. (Motionless applies to trees in the garden, not me!).

You are a cycling fan then Mick, did you ever cycle yourself? Do time trials and things like that? The sport has a huge following doesn’t it? It’s good to see so many young people cycling as it’s a fine hobby and excellent exercise.

DH and I are taking a drive into Herefordshire today, and will get flowers for MIL ‘s grave. She would have been 95 this weekend. (She passed away 2 years ago).

Not much else, just take it as it comes.

I wish everyone a kind day and thinking of those with health worries, or other worries, the gillybobs especially. ?

Good morning from an overcast E Kent.
Yesterday was hot but could have been worse had it not been for a stiff SWesterly breeze. In fact it toppled my free standing clothesline just after I had spent ages hanging 4 loads of washing ?.
This heat exhausts me. I was wiped out yesterday. I know today will be hotter, but hope I shan’t feel as bad.
Picked foliage from the quay yesterday as I’m on church flower duty this Sunday. I must have been a sight with my bum in the air as I was reaching down the quay walls to get th best bits. They’re always out of reach aren’t they?
I’ve got my t’ai chi on the grass today and shall probably pick the plums off our very little plum tree and enjoy the scent wafting around from the myrtle bush.
Have the best day ever those with troubles, especially Mr. “Gillybob”, “Marydoll” and all those in distress, both mental and physical. Stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone ,
Looking like a dull grey start here in Brackley this morning , my usual day today using the bus services to Buckingham and then Bicester.
I cannot wait for the weekend , so I can watch some live cycling on TV , I have already watched some replays since the season restarted and although the event was from Italy you still had small clusters of spectators , social distancing of course .
Take Care ,
Mick
