Morning Mick, morning All from a very misty corner of Somerset. Hope it clears for an early beach walk before a general faffing day at home. Special thoughts for those with health or other worries. Be gentle with yourselves everyone.

Good Morning all from East Yorkshire.
We had such a lovely walk yesterday but boy was it hot and that made the hills very tough. The hotel we are in is so lovely and they are very accommodating of my vegan diet. I will definitely come here again.
Today we are headed back home but will go the long way round to make the most of this sunshine on the motorbike. I have enjoyed being a pillion for the first time in years, but it does make your bottom a bit numb as I don’t like to move too much, whereas if I was riding my own bike I would be shuffling my bum and standing on the pegs to ease the numbness!! If I carry on with this pillion riding he will have to get a better seat!
I hope everyone has a good day today and enjoy this sunshine ☀️
Take care of yourselves.

Good morning All. I'm off for a day painting workshop in my art tutor's garden. I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Mick and All from a cooler Worcs (with a little breeze).
Thinking of Granmaretto : I hope you got a restful night and that your DH is recovering gently in hospital.
Marydoll thinking of you too and hoping your energy returns and you’re back to “yourself” really soon. I’m waiting to hear what your surprise is/was ? ! ?

I’ve got a return appointment to the Optician’s this morning to collect 2 pairs of specs. That outing will be the main event of my day and the rest of it will be just pottering. The heat slows me down to a standstill!

Keep safe everyone and have the best day you can ?

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where it promises to be another warm day. Glad it is dry as we have 3 year old GD staying until tomorrow. She slept until 5.45 so not too bad. DH got up with her. They dote on each other! She can do no wrong in his eyes although she is good natured and quite placid. We need to find somewhere quiet to take her - our trips out this week haven’t been too successful as they have been crowded so we have just come straight home. Wishing everyone a good weekend, but take care and stay safe ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s warm already and I’ve got a chamber pot this morning.

I only had a few things to iron yesterday and it was very uncomfortable doing it with the heat.
I have to go into town this morning but apart from that I don’t think I’ll be doing much.....I’ll have a one of Urmstongran’s #lazy gran days.

Take care all and enjoy whatever you do and don’t forget your hat ?

Morning Mick from a cool Spain - we’ve sent some ?over to Blighty!

Some shopping ? this morning and if I’m back in time will meet friends for coffee before lunch and that is the sum of my weekend! Looking forward to reading, watching more of Dirty John and Breaking Bad and just chilling on the patio while DH will sun ☀️ himself on the roof terrace, just meeting up at mealtimes!

Hope everyone enjoys their weekend whatever they’re doing x

Good morning from a bright and warm E Kent. We are promised a “cool” 30C today after the scorching, murderous 33C of yesterday. I hate this heat!

grandmafrench , I hung a wet sheet across the window last night. It made the night much more tolerable.

I’m glad you enjoy the cycling Mick, DH loves it as much for the scenery as fo4 the actual racing.

I had hoped to have very little to do yesterday, but ended up sitting down only by the evening. All the usual stuff, changing beds, doing the washing, shopping, cooking...

I enrolled in one of the WI online courses which seemed interesting, it was very disappointing. The tutor talked too much and only to her friend. Never mind, it did give me something to do with my DGDs next week.

Hope those in distress are getting on ok. Stay safe.
