Morning Mick, morning All. Chilly and still too dark to be sure what it’s doing outside, we are promised more of the sunshine that appeared through the gloom mid morning yesterday

A need to finish the grocery order, encourage Mr C to carry on with shredding - there’s a heck of a lot - then a joint effort involving burrowing in the depths of a built in wardrobe to give its floor a good clean. Pretty dusty in there. If energy remains a parcel to collect and perhaps a repeat of yesterday’s beach walk which really lifted spirits.

Hope your plans work out grandMattie, you certainly sound more cheerful for making them. It will be wonderful when we can see family indoors, our grandchildren are very excited to know they can return to school, they’ve missed the routine and their friends. Good luck with the puppy bellasnanna, would love a share in one.

Look after yourselves everyone. Stay strong, hope Tuesday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a dark but dry Black Country. It rained first thing yesterday, but turned into a lovely sunny day.

Had my first jab yesterday at Millenium Point Birmingham. It was so well organised and I was in and out within 20 minutes. Roll on 10th May!

Decorating here is moving on. Ceiling, Coving, walls are painted. Just have to decide on new Sofa, Curtains and wallpaper for the chimney breast wall. It may be all done by Autumn smile

Excited that we may at least be able to meet DD and family outside over Easter, and DS and family on a separate day. Fingers crossed for fine weather!

Hoping we can start using the caravan by April or May. It is stored down in Burnham on Sea at the moment, so we can use it as a central base for touring Devon, Cornwall, Dorset and Somerst.

Will go over to Mums this morning, and a walk on the Staffordshire railway walk weather permitting.

Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning all from a breezy Torbay, after a day of wall to wall sunshine yesterday which enabled me to drive to my bubble mate's without a coat!

It is a delight to see so many daffodils blooming, including in the park opposite my home where there is also a beautiful carpet of purple crocuses! Or should that be croci? Which might sound like I’m telling you in old English that I have a sore throat!!

This evening we have a Toads (amdram) Committee meeting via Zoom, in which we shall consider the implications for our company following the latest information on the easing of restrictions. It’s unlikely to turn into the fracas experienced by Jackie Weaver!!

I hope all is well in sheepandcattle's world and any deliveries have been straightforward. I am in awe of your energy!
Yes, grandMattie - the hope of actually seeing loved ones in late Spring is a marvellous tonic. ?

Kind thoughts to those who are struggling and a good day to all. ?

Good Morning everyone from a dry Severnside. The sky looks a picture with red stripes.

Thank you Sheepandcattle for explaining about how to make sure the ewes are expecting. June is a fluffy miss and I saw she was wearing her best earrings for her gransnet appearance ?photo.

It will be lovely to be able to see some more of my family fairly soon and catch up on news.

My brother dropped off something for me to do last night so I’ll make an early start. Later I hope to catch up on Married at first sight Australia. I missed the shenanigans last night.

Have a good day all, we are getting there ?

Same weather here, a bit chilly but ? and we’re half a world away.

Good morning Mick and all who will be joining in later.

My DGD had a lovely birthday yesterday and when I told her of all your kind messages she said to please thank you all.

I’m puppy sitting today. He has just arrived and is an absolute ball of energy.

Forgot to mention the weather but it seems to be much as usual, sunny and a bit chilly until later.

Thinking of you all and hoping those with worries and illness will soon find things a bit easier.☀️

Good morning from a dry E Kent. Too dark to decide, but we have been forecast some ☀️☀️☀️.
A roadmap! At last! Some papers say it’s 118 days until total freedom. I’ve booked my bed at DD’s for on or around 17 May. DV we can take the train and see and smell (I love their smell!) the girls.
Supermarket day today. Nothing else.
sheep, I hope your ladies are behaving and delivering one by one, without too much assistance nor casualties.
Everyone, have a good day. The end is nigh! ??❤️?☀️?☀️?
