Good morning from a sunny, calm and warm Suffolk coast. It’s going to be a scorcher today. We usually have a bit of a breeze here, so hopefully won’t be too uncomfortable. Perhaps a dip in the sea and a leisurely day. Surely you northern grans will have sunshine today. ?

Just starting a new book so I’ll find a sheltered spot and sip elderflower cordial.

I’m looking forward to your exciting news Marydoll. Hope you have a better day.

Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary anzie ? So sorry your celebrations won’t go ahead, this virus has messed up so many gatherings . It’s our GW next summer. I wonder if things will be different by then. Who knows! .

Have a peaceful, painfree, gentle day! ?

Good morning everyone from a lovely sunny Inverness. The outlook is warm for today, but not the intense heat - it doesn’t usually get past about 25º at the most up here!
We’re taking the DGC to the local National Trust property today, Brodie Castle as they have a couple of good children’s playgrounds there. And a zip wire marydoll!
Hope you enjoy watching the cycling mick
Take care everyone whatever you’re doing and have a good day all?

Happy 75th MrKitty.

Don’t rely on John Lewis air-con my sister went into a JL the other day and they said they were unable to use AC due to Covid!!!

Good news about your DS

?‍♀️

Good morning everyone from a sunny Essex by the sea. Today Is going to be a hot one.
We have decided on a picnic near the beach with our chairs and Kindles. We'll only stay a couple of hours and then retire back home. Other than that we have no plans apart from trying to keep cool.
Have a lovely day and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning Mick and all

marydoll sorry to hear you are struggling we will all have to look for your lost oomph
Careful on your trip Mick

I am off to the gym for two classes this morning then it’s home for a quick shower before lunch in our local tea rooms they gave a beautiful garden with shaded spots just right to celebrate my friends birthday.

DD and GSs will be here with GrandpaGravy as it is going to be very hot here and the five year old wants to swim with Grandpa.

It is meant to be the hottest day of the year today here in S E Essex I hope I can fit in a dip sometime today. ( we haven’t got a pool but do have a very large hot tub that all the GC have learnt to swim in)

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning from an already hot and sunny North Leicestershire.

Today is DH's 75 birthday and, as a treat, we are going to John Lewis to order chairs!! grin At least they should have air conditioning in. It is sad that we can't throw our usual party for notable birthdays but at least we are all safe and well.

And, DS1 has tested negative for Covid but was feeling better anyway.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning all from a cloudy, but muggy Glasgow. Another disturbed night for me.

Congratulations to anzie, up in Aberdeen. I'm sorry your Golden Wedding celebrations for today have been ruined.
Scentia, I hope you had a lovely birthday and managed to get to Whitby..

Nothing much to report, but I may have something exciting to report tomorrow. ? However, I'm am afraid to tempt fate by posting about it.?

I'm really struggling just now, so a surprise visit yesterday from DGD was just the tonic I needed. She nonchalantly told me she had been on a zip wire in the local park. The last time a child told me that he had been on a zip wire, was on a school trip and the pupil told me he had thought he had broken his hand.?.
We were miles from anywhere!

Hugs for all those (and partners), who are struggling and hope to see our missing GM friends posting again soon. Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning from clear, sunny, HOT E Kent.
Horrible night. Been awake since 3am and up at 5am. Chatting to DS2 who’s on nights!
Today will be too hot to move, so shan’t. We’re promised 31C. Hate this heat.
To those in any sort of distress, have a good day, be kind to yourselves. Everyone, stay safe.

Good Morning everyone. It’s a tad hazy on Severnside.
Are the buses getting busier with more passengers Mick?

Shopping trip first thing for me and then some ironing (if I remember it’s there). I might light the fire pit tonight as I have a few stumps to get rid of.

Have a good day all ?

Morning Mick from a cooler morning in Spain where I’m supping my second chamberpot of tea ☕️

A quieter day today after the laughter of ladies lunch yesterday but we’re out with friends to a quiz & pasta this evening so the weekend will definitely be spent at home - I can’t cope with too much socialising, proper lightweight that I am!

Hope all is well with your world x

Good Morning Everyone ,
Its a clear blue sky start here in Brackley ,and what appears could be a very hot day .
Yesterdays bus and shop trips went Ok , got back earlier than planned so watched a cycle race on Eurosport, which involved a UK base team event was in France and featured a climb up the barren landscape of Mont Ventoux.
Today , shop this morning and more cycling n TV the first race will see Chris Froome battle for selection for the Tour De France.
Take Care
Mick
