Morning all. My bit of North Leicestershire, which is about 3 miles as the crow flies away from dragonfly, is also cloudy.

Not a lot on today for me. DH is driving all day. I think I'll do a couple of girly type phone calls!

Take care everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness, it’s just getting light. Yesterday we had a miserable grey rainy day so hoping it improves today.
It’s my flu jab appointment later and then I’ll probably pop into town for a browse around the shops.
I love the sunny picture Urmston , another one here with a touch of envy ....
Hope all goes well today dragonfly
Thinking of gilly and other absent posters and those with worries and struggles
Have a good day everyone and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a cloudy Leicestershire.

Got a face to face appointment with my surgeon today. It is a year since my op so hoping all is well for another year!

Call My Bluff on Zoom this evening.

Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning everyone.
Dry but greyish here in Oxfordshire
Lovely photos Urmstongran and Ashcombe
I am a bit envious (!) and we really missed not being able to go to France this year.
Hope everyone has a good day and can get out and about before the rain sets in tomorrow.
flowers for any having a rough ride right now

Spot on, Urmstongran!

Yes, most French towns, even quite small ones, seem to preserve their old buildings.

Good Morning all from a damp Severnside.

Here we are, the start of a new month. I went to bed at 2.30am as I fell asleep in the chair after my daughter, man and dog went home. They brought over some stuff to store in my garage and a cottage pie to heat up for our meal.

I will try to tidy my craft room today as I want to try out my new dies.

Hope you all have a good day and take care ?

Good morning and ‘White Rabbits’ from sunny Malta.
I have slept late today so am going to spend all day catching up.

Had another long FaceTime with DGD yesterday. She’s really missing school but thinks her mum might let her go back in two weeks time.

Lovely photo Urmston, looks a lot like Malta!

Have a good day everyone, and hugs for those who are struggling.☀️

Good morning all you lovely people!

We’ve been awake a while - enjoying TIB! Another dull day in our part of France. Yesterday we visited Ferté le Bernard, which is an attractive town (see photo), about 20 minutes from us.

Hope everyone is well and enjoys the first day of a new month.

Lovely photo Urmstongran. No rain here at the moment. Off to upholstery class this morning. The community centre says we have to be in two bubbles of six, as there are 14 of us, not easy! However we will just have have some sort of rota. Hope everyone has a good day, and that absentees will soon be back.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark corner of Somerset. Can’t see much out there, no frost, it looks damp from yesterday’s rain although a fine-ish day is promised. Could do with a sunny, warm beach, Urmston, a degree of envy here. The half fixed tooth is niggling, hope it hangs on for the month until the next appointment. Physio for me today to hopefully un-stick my stuck neck, a garden centre coffee and some errands while we’re out. Take care everyone, look after yourselves.

This was a photo I took yesterday at Palm 5.

Good morning Mick and everyone from Malaga. I’m up early as I went to bed at 10pm and there’s only so much sleep anyone (even #lazygran) can need! I hope you managed a better sleep last night GrannyGravy with the Nytol.

October already!

Yesterday we went out for the afternoon and had a lovely stroll along the paseo with lunch at Palm 5 - a really nice bar with the beautiful view of the beach and sea. It was quite buzzy I’m pleased to report. However we made sure we were sat well away from some British holidaymakers, a group of 8 - some of whom had only arrived the day before. Can’t be too careful.

Himself will be going out with his friend to watch (another) Rangers game tonight. He watched Man. Utd on his iPad last night. He’s having his best life.

I shall do the pedicure I was planning to do yesterday!

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

Ooh ground frost Mick ❄️ We don’t want any of that in lovely north Wales (NannyTopsy is on er olidays!) the forecast for today is ☀️

A titivating day for me today as I’m allowed out tomorrow......don’t want to frighten folks in my quarantine mode?‍♀️ Will also do a proper bottoming of the umble abode as we’ve been home a fortnight and all the cats licks haven’t amounted to much ?

Hope all under the weather and with worries have a better day than yesterday and absentees know they’re missed ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and although dry , there is a ground frost which in way will see the autumn leaves fall or give different colours on the trees .
Today , usual trip out via Buckingham to Bicester have a coffee and a bite to eat then small shop prior to bus home .
I have got to meet others socially on the bus ,and also in places such as the cafe in Bicester being a sort of regular customer the staff are friendly .
Take Care,
Mick
