Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. I had such a lovely day yesterday which will have to keep me going. 2 DGD gave me a birthday hug. Today is the actual birthday but who cares. They've been holidaying in Scotland and came, with their DP for an impromptu meal on their long journey south.
It's been over a year and they have turned into beautiful little women.
DH rallied too though he still is far from well.

I plan, unless something else comes up, to pick wild raspberries in the woods. Simple pleasures are the best.
Wishing a good day to you all.

Good morning Mick and all

Grey here in S E Essex but it’s trying to brighten up.

Not sure what we shall be up to today, have a pork loin joint but we may go out for Sunday Lunch if we do I shall squeeze the joint into the he freezer. If the sun comes out we might pop out for a late breakfast/early brunch instead?

Have down loaded a few books to my kindle so will have a reading on the sofa day.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Sun’s up here! ?
But boy, is it windy woo!

Good morning everyone from Malaga where the palm trees are dancing in the gardens ?

Himself will be living his best life today - the Grand Prix this afternoon, followed by a stroll down to a sports bar to meet his mates and watch the Rangers game (he’s been co-opted as mascot) then back up to watch Man Utd on his iPad.

I’m meeting a friend at 8pm. We plan G&Ts in a bar off the dual carriageway which is down the hill, Mar y Sol. Then over the road for a Chinese on the huge terrace. I always order Singapore noodles because I love the chilli kick and a side of broccoli with garlic. I don’t eat Chinese very often so I never get bored with these two dishes!

Hope Sunday is kind to us all. Hope Henry’s appointment goes well Sar53 and that he comes on leaps and bounds very soon.

Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning from a grey but humid Colchester. It rained for most of yesterday.
Trip to Lidl and laundry today. The tumble dryer may need to go on....

Good morning from a reasonably bright Essex by the sea.
We had quite a downpour yesterday morning and then a fairly grey but warm day.
Yesterday afternoon was spent at a family BBQ.
No plans, as yet, today. Probably a drive somewhere for coffee. DH is watching the snooker so the television will be on this afternoon for that and the Grand Prix.
Have a very pleasant Sunday and stay safe everyone xx

Good Morning all from a damp and grey Severnside. I must have been extra tired as I have just woken up.....from a dreamy sleep. Some odd going’s on in it ?

More pottering on the cards for me today and maybe write some letters.

Enjoy your day whatever you do ?

Good morning from Shropshire.It has rained over night and still grey and damp now.

We had a nice meal out yesterday to celebrate my niece’s engagement.We then drove over to New Brighton hoping for a walk by the sea but it was absolutely packed so we didn’t stop.Everywhere we went was so busy so we ended up driving home without getting out of the car.We will wait until the children are back at school and will go mid week for our next jaunt.

We received a letter yesterday with the rules in place if we want to attend church also a questionnaire to see what category of risk we fall into.We are both mid risk.Most of our congregation will be high risk because of age and so are recommended not to attend.Not sure what we will do.

Hoping for a quiet day today before a busy week.DGD coming to stay as Henry going into hospital on Tuesday.Only DD can go in with him,our son in law is planning to sit in the car in the car park?so best DGD is with us.

Sending good wishes to all and hoping dragonfly,blue sapphire,purple pixie are feeling better than they were?

This is unusual for me ( up and about at this time!) but we have to be somewhere a bit later, and I have a few things to do before we go.
Very Autumnal here, misty and cool and it was raining during the night.Am not complaining....after all the far too hot and humid weather I’m loving it.The garden appreciated a good drenching.
No cooking to do at all today ( hooray!)?
Have a good Sunday everyone.

Morning Mick from a lovely cool Espana where we’ve got September weather in August! Never known it to feel this fresh of a morning but it’s so much more to my liking than mugginess!

Have you been watching Il Lombardia Mick - I read that a Belgian cyclist came a cropper yesterday- hope he’s ok ? I know all the cycling tours are all mixed up this year!

Out to watch the footie later this evening so a quiet sunny Sunday for us and hope everyone has a peaceful day also x

Good morning from a grey E Kent.
Rain? Forgotten what that’s like. We’ve probably had about 8 days of rain since early March.
Quiet day. Watch the service on pc, DD is preaching today.
Roast lamb for dinner this evening.
Rugby has started again, two games Watched yesterday, probably two more today. Although I quite enjoy watching, I’ve learned that I annoy DH, so remove myself to do other things, including of course all the wifely things like cooking and tidying up!
Have a good day, one and all. Hope it’s less humid and The temperatures more tolerable.
