Good morning everyone from a warm misty Inverness, I hope it clears up soon and the sun comes out! Yesterday evening we had a bit of light rain but not the thunderstorms that were happening elsewhere
Today the DGC are going back to school, such a big change for them after being away since March. I hope they’ll both settle back in well!
So pleased little Henry is doing ok now susan - what a worry!
Hope everyone going out today has a really lovely time and take care whatever the day brings ?

Morning all from a sticky North Leicestershire where we have had a roll of thunder and some rain, but not enough!

We start a new zoomed Carer's course this morning. We have 8 participants this time. I'll need a little down afterwards. grin

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
Warm again in Suffolk - I think last night was the stickiest yet. We are supposed to get rain tonight - fingers crossed!
This morning we expect the delivery of a tonne of gravel for making paths but I don’t intend to do anything with that until it is much cooler! Tonight it our first WI meeting in months, socially distanced in a garden. Having just joined when lockdown started, I wasn’t too sure of people’s names in March - I have no chance now!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Going to be another scorcher here. Got to bottle another load of plums, no more room in the freezer! Otherwise will take it easy, might do some sewing later. Keep cool, if you can!

Good morning from a warm Morecambe Bay. Was about to go for a walk when DH reminded me we have parcels being re delivered (not very exciting) which the post man failed to put in our safe place. The post usually comes at lunchtime but if we are not in you can guarantee he will come extra early. Then the boiler is being serviced later. Seems like I’ve got another good excuse not to garden! I can’t possibly go out and leave DH to sort things out can I??take care and stay safe everyone ?

Good morning from another hot and sunny day in Kent. DH will arrive later this morning to take me home. I've had 3 lovely days with DD2 and two granddaughters, but it has been so hot and sticky. We have all struggled to sleep even with fans on all night.
DD2 treated me to a professional pedicure yesterday, I now have lovely raspberry coloured toes.
DH and I are going out to eat this evening to somewhere we have not been before, let's hope it doesn't disappoint.
Have a lovely day everyone and stay safe xx

Good morning Mick and all

Still hot and muggy here in S E Essex I think we get the rain tomorrow.

Off to the gym this morning, then hopefully a telephone appointment with practice nurse (long story involving a very sore armpit). Off to our local restaurant for an early evening meal later with DD and GS’s - thank you Rishi ??

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Morning all from a much cooler Spain- the rain showers we had yesterday seem to have dampened the mugginess and it feels lovely and fresh.

Wow GrandMattie- 5 loads of washing! It’s been a while since I’ve done that many - and I got two dried yesterday in between downpours!

Off to have my hair trimmed at the local market, then coffee with friends before picking DH up and out for lunch at a posh Michelin starred restaurant nearby - those are my three treats in one day!

Hope everyone has a good news day today ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Looks like another warm one today, maybe get a bit of rain too.
I got home from DD at tea time yesterday after 3 whole days decorating with her. I am absolutely shattered?
DGS has been a little angel, one of her friends came to take him for a walk yesterday as he has been rather ignored for a few days, not that he minded, he got to watch the wiggles over and over again!!! He was out feeding ducks for 4 hours, they will be getting fat?
Back at the factory this morning and I awoke to a desperate E Mail sent from a customer at 5.00am needing some labels today, it is like those proverbial ‘buses’ I better get a move on, however I do need to collect the pooch from kennels at some point this morning, then she will want a walk. I think I was better off decorating!!
Well folks, you all take care now and stay out of the sun.☀️☀️☀️

Good Morning everyone. A hazy start on Severnside.

Apart from a FaceTime with DD this afternoon I’ve no idea what I will do today. I hope the day won’t be like yesterday when it was so uncomfortable. I didn’t stray far from the fan.

Hope you all have a good day and an easier time with troubles ?

Good morning from a misty, muggy E Kent.
Nice to be able to take advantage of Rishi meals, Mick. We’ve been trying and trying but everything seems booked or full.
Been out to hang the 5 loads of washing generated by an extra 4 people in the house. One forgets doesn’t one?
Another hot day with grumpy children who only want to mess around on their tablets. Their mother has meetings from 930 to 2100 tonight. Hey ho.
Stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry but signs of an overnight shower here in Brackley this morning .
Yesterdays , trip out was interesting my first experience of the Monday to Wednesday eat out and get it cheaper , I went to the cafe I use in Buckingham , not thinking that just having a coffee would qualify I paid £1 for something I normally pay £2 for.
Today , quiet small shop, then cycling on TV this afternoon , hoping that it is cooler as well.
Take Care ,
Mick
