Good morning All from a wet Polmont. I have my second stint of babysitting today so grandma's toy shop will be set up shortly! I hope it clears up later so I can take him out in the buggy for a walk. Have a good day all.

Good morning from the NE coast where we have another day of unpredictable weather ahead . Heavy rain on and off yesterday and feeling decidedly cold later in the afternoon. Summer was officially cancelled in these parts .

I’m off to work for an early start as I have little miss Evie Buttons for a few hours later .

My little grandson is gutted as his footy camp has been cancelled after we struggled so hard at the last minute to get the money together for him to go .

Thinking of all our missing friends and hoping to see them back posting very soon.

Have as good a Tuesday as possible everyone (my second worst day of the week) .....oh to have something, anything to look forward to .

Love Gillybob xx

Good Morning Mick and all. It is overcast here on the S Welsh coast. Yesterday was dry for us but there were storms further west, the sky darkened quite dramatically about 11 am and we could hear thunder in the distance. Picked a load of tomatoes from the garden and will make a sauce for pasta, there will be plenty to freeze. The fish man calls every Tuesday and I think I'll get some sea bass for supper.
Take care everyone, stay safe.

Morning all from a very cloudy North Leicestershire. There are thunderstorms in our forecast.

It's my friend's birthday today so I am going for a brew at her house and to the charity shop this afternoon - at long last - to drop stuff off. And to the market which is held weekly in a pub car park in the next village.

Sending love and hugs to everyone who needs them.

Good morning from a cloudy Kent, but, like yesterday, I think it is going to be another scorcher later.
Yesterday we went school shoe shopping for DGD1, came back for lunch and spent the afternoon partly in the garden and partly indoors.
DGD2 tripped and caught the side of her head on the corner of a small side table. Luckily only a small cut and bruise, could have been so much worse.
This morning my daughter has arranged for someone to come and give us a pedicure, I need to decide on a colour for my toe nails.
Not sure what we will be doing this afternoon.
Have a lovely day everyone and stay safe xx

Good morning everyone from a cloudy but still warm Inverness with some rain forecast for later. Yesterday was warm and sunny all day and we had a beautiful day walking in the mountains. The purple heather is just coming out and the scenery was amazing. We had planned another day out today but not sure where yet as the rain seems to be on its way☔️
Hope everyone has the best day possible and finds something lovely to enjoy. Take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
We are in Kent this morning, staying with DD & SiL but we go home today. As others have said, it’s very warm. Looking forward to the air conditioning on our drive home! We have done very little while we have been here but lots of chatting. It’s the first time we have been away in nearly a year.
I have some lovely new plants for the garden too!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Morning everyone. Overcast and muggy here in south Cornwall. 4 year old coming for the day again, making gingerbread sharks (her favourite shaped cutter) methinks today. Yesterday it was unicorn buns, she was so delighted, and handed them out at a family beach barbecue last night. Hip surgeon ringing me this morning, hopefully to get me on the waiting list for a replacement. NHS orthopaedics on the move again, phew. The best day possible to you all...

Morning Mick and All.

Far too hot for me in South Bucks.

Taking the DGSs to footie training today. How they practise in the hot sun I don’t know.

Hopefully get the 9 year old to the Barbers as he looks like a mini cave man.

Good morning Mick and all from Worcs. It’s damp out and still very warm.
Yesterday I went to my friend’s house- which is a 40 minute drive in my air conditioned car.
Although she has a pretty garden she had set the table for drinks and then lunch in the conservatory - where this year she has had air conditioning installed. Perfect!
After our usual chat-fest catch-up and salmon quiche and salad for lunch we heard 2 large claps of thunder. Heavy plops of warm rain hit the windows and it stirred me to get moving and drive home - once again in my air conditioned car.
As it was 4 pm by the time I arrived home, I had had the loveliest, cool day.

I hope you are all managing to keep cool too?
And that poorly people like Mr Grammaretto and Mr gillybob are getting plenty of TLC as they recover from their hospital treatments.

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where we have pale clouds with a bit of blue peeping through.

As we have thunder forecast for the next few days I have also put my cushions undercover. I made the covers from a showerproof fabric, they don’t stand a downpour though and I end up with a wet bum?

Off to post my wedding acceptance and a visit to the library to pick up my reserved film which I will watch later.

Have the best day you can all ?

Morning all from a rather damp Espana ?

We knew it was coming so put all our cushions etc away last night before we trotted off to another quiz where we came a close third! Some really clever chaps romped home first by a mile which made us feel particularly stoopid ?

Not a lot planned today especially now weather’s iffy so will loiter on Grans net seeing what your doings are! Stay safe x

Good morning from a misty E Kent. Temperatures predicted to be low 30s. Hate it, makes me grumpy, I drip everywhere, sleep little and am not good company.
Had a weird day with the family as two of the rooms were verboten - DS1 teaching remotely all day in one and DD holding various PCC and other meetings in the other.
Stay safe everyone, hope that those in pain or distress have a tolerable day.
