Good Morning Saturday

Urmstongran I hope you feel better soon.

Hope you feel better soon Urmstongran

Good morning from a dry but dull Cumbria. Nothing much planned here today. Few jobs at home and a short walk if the weather stays dry. I may make a cake too. Have a good day all.

Sun’s up here! ?
Good morning everyone from Malaga ?

Somehow I have picked up a tummy bug so will be quarantined to barracks this weekend as I can’t stray too far from the bathroom.

Hope Saturday is good to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning all from Glasgow, I'm not sure what the weather is like, the blinds are closed and I don't want to disturb DH. If it's anything like yesterday, it won't be too pleasant.
I spent ages yesterday, drying off the Tesco delivery. It was so wet that DH abandoned his golf game. A very rare occurrence.

I have absolutely nothing planned today, apart from raid the freezer. We usually have takeaway on a Saturday, but the freezer is bursting at the seams, so I'm going to brave the depths!

I do like the sound of your canapes, Pants. Whenever we go to a wedding, I could just have a meal, solely made of canapes. ?

Thinking of our Gilly and all our absent friends. Have the best day you can everyone.

Yes, Beech. I got is from a tree surgeon who knew his onions or rather bay laurels...

Hello everyone from Melbourne. A grey wet and coolish day here today. After a couple of glorious spring days we have slipped back to winter weather.

Another day of lockdown not much getting done. In fact it really has been another day of doing ziltch.

There is some talk of some of our restrictions being eased ahead of the planned dates but that will depend on the number of new infections reducing to what is considered a satisfactory number. 37 new cases yesterday and unfortunately 6 deaths which is the lowest number in Victoria since 26th June and down from over 700 a few weeks ago. It looks as though we are at least gong in the right direction. Hopefully the powers that be will gt their house in order and avoid any more stuff ups that could sent us into higher number again.

Hope everyone has a great day

grandMattie we had a laurel and cut it down. Do I remember right that the sawn wood smelt a bit almond and that the cyanide thing is all connected? ?

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry if cloudy corner of Somerset. Absolutely no idea what the day will bring here, may venture forth or it may be a quiet one at home. Look after yourselves, it’s a strange world out there.

Good Morning everyone from a damp Severnside.
It’s certainly darker in the mornings when I wake.

I went to visit a friend and we sat at the end of the garden. He has newly designed it with help and it’s a very peaceful setting.

I’m going to plant the bulbs I’ve bought today and read some magazine stories hopefully outside.

We used to spend a lot of lovely holidays in the Poole and east of area jaxjacky.

Have a good Saturday all and put worries to one side if you can ?

Your canopies sound delicious but I prefer what the Americans call “can-apes”, Pant

Pant noooo. Not bay leaves or laurel as the continentals call the. BAY LAUREL used for hedging etc.

Ooh! Enjoy your gendarmes...? perhaps a gentle day would be more appropriate.

Good morning from an increasingly dark E Kent. As Mick says, twilight- like.
Had my hair cut yesterday. Half way through the (very short) cut, I suddenly remembered that I didn’t want it so short and told the hairdresser! I thought it very funny, she was mortified that she just went ahead and cut it. I was very apologetic that I had forgotten to tell her... it will grow back very quickly, besides DH likes it very short.
My lovely friendly painters came yesterday to have a look and fix the new cracks in the walls and ceilings. They’re not sure if it’s just cracks or recurrence of subsidence. The younger one had been very sweet and helpful in other things while they were here last, he put up my kitchen blind this time, bless him. I made him a chocolate cake with choc fudge icing. I hope he like it.
To those in distress, Marydoll and gilly come to mind; have the best day possible. Every one, please stay safe and have a gendarmes.

Morning Mick - I’ve just emptied the chamberpot .......ooh I did like typing that?

Lovely chutney GrandMattie but did you mean laurel (as in bay leaves) having cyanide? I use them in curries!

Nothing planned today but a couple of friends over for cocktails ??this evening before we join the menfolk at the bar later. Will serve ‘omemade canopies’ (as DD once named them!) tiny rosemary crackers with Brie or Pate and my very own red onion marmalade dolloped on top!

Hope you all have a better day than yesterday and stay safe - kind thoughts to all ‘MisPers’ x
