Good morning from Leamington, my last morning here. My daughter will drive me to the Toddington Services on the M1 and DH will meet us and take me home.
I've had a lovely, but as usual very hectic, few days with the family. Not sure when I will see them again.
We went to a local park yesterday until the heavens opened and we had to dash back to the car.
DD1 made a lovely curry for dinner and SIL made the naan bread to go with it. All very tasty.
Have the best day you can and stay safe everyone xx

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. We had a cold night here.
I am glad to hear your son is improving GrandMattie and hope he'll be home soon.
Gingster you're not alone! I remembered, with relief, that we have dishwasher after our DC visited.
It's not been used for 6 months.
I hope it's a good week for all of us!

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester.
Woken early by a bouncy 4 year old. Hope it stays dry so we can get out today.

Good morning everyone from Cambridge where it’s slightly cooler with some greyish cloud around. Yesterday we had another lovely day and took the DGS to a local country park where they whizzed around on their bikes and played in the playground. Today I’m taking the 5 year old to a NT property as DD1 and SiL are both working and youngest DGS at nursery - think I’ll be exhausted later! Just a few more days here as I’m heading home on Friday.
Fingers crossed grandmattie that your DS is home tomorrow and congratulations to your DD too!
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a sunny Morecambe Bay. We are off to Keswick gardening today. Maybe a quick walk by the lake if we finish early enough and we are not too tired. Take care and stay safe everyone ?

Morning Mick, morning All. Another grey, drizzly start to our day. Spending some time with our not-so-little-Littlest today, a rare treat, so there will be both activity and inner sunshine. Hope your son will soon be discharged grandMattie with a manageable diagnosis to put minds at rest. Take care everyone. Be gentle with yourselves.

Good morning from the Suffolk coast where we have a beautiful sunrise. I was up so early as I have insect bites all over both ankles and they kept me awake most of the night.??. ?. Such a minor irritation compared to some, but still annoying.

Well, I ventured to the cinema yesterday afternoon and there were 8 of us in there. My neighbour and I kept our masks on (not comfortable) but we were the only ones who did. The experience was fine , we were well spaced out and the film ‘Summerland’ was lovely.

We might go to a garden centre today to replace plants that were decimated in the strong winds. Probably winter flowering pansies and cyclamen.

grandMattie hopefully your son will get some results and is back home ASAP. Glad he’s feeling better! Well done to your DD. Fancy forgetting to tell you! ?. Obviously a humble soul.

Not much on today. We have visitors arriving Thursday til Friday, so will start with bed sorting and a bit of baking. We seem to have had a never ending flow of visitors this summer. Lovely but lots of work. It was my 70th in July so in lieu of a biggish gathering, we’ve had lots of smaller ones. Trouble is, they all come to me so I have the workload. Hush my mouth ??. I’d moan if they didn’t come! No pleasing some people. ?

Wishing you all a pleasant day. ?

Good Morning from another dull and grey place. We have had a few spots of rain by the look of it.

I have a few shopping errands to do and hope to get them done today. I’ll just have to grin and bear the walking about as my backs aches from yesterday’s gardening. I’ve still the ivy tree to do, I think I’ll ask my daughter to help me with that.

Good wishes to you all ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Looks like it may be a nice day today. I have been working in one of the children’s homes for theee days but I am back in the game today and raring to go!! I will be at the factory today to get some jobs out the door before the end of the month. Even though it is just the two of us that run the business DH still sets us targets each month! It keeps us motivated. We are on target for the first time this year due to CV19 so things must be getting better. Hope Gilly has had some good news on the business front whilst I have been off.
Take care everyone and stay safe ❤️

Good morning from a grey E Kent. Shall we have rain? ? hmm.
DS2 is still in hospital, off the fluids drip but still on strong antibiotics for kidney. He’s feeling great but they found problems with his pancreas so needs more scans. With luck, they’ll be done today and he’ll be discharged tomorrow, sent home with necessary diagnoses, medication etc. ?
We are SO grateful for all your good wishes for my son. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
DD had excellent news yesterday; she is to be Dean of Women clergy in her diocese. Good for her. She forgot to tell us when she was here! ?
Nothing on today as usual. Still nice to have DS1 around. Makes a change from two old farts rattling around being bored...
Marydoll, I trust you had a quiet day to keep your heart at rest - but suspect you didn’t... I’m sorry I cannot remember all those who need good wishes, but mine go with you.
Stay safe.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dry start but a dull grey sky at the moment .
Nice easy day today some housework and watch TV cycling wise with the European Champs , and slowly by the end of the week the start of the later planned Tour De France , to predict a winner for that race is a big gamble .
With Covid -19 playing its part in the event which could effect the race as well, and the final outcome .
Take Care ,
Mick
