Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where another sunny day is promised perhaps with a little more cloud though.

Beautiful photos Ellianne and Laura.

Loved your description of wee Dollie’s video message Marydoll, I can just imagine it, she sounds just my five year old DGD who is such a chatterbox, every story is accompanied with all the dramatic gestures. Joyful.

What a relief for you Urms to know that there’s nothing sinister going on.

We popped over to a garden centre yesterday where I noticed this group of flamingos. I think someone a while ago mentioned the collective name for them but I can’t recall it at the moment.

The youngest GC turns one year old tomorrow so today I will bake some lemon drizzle and a traybake of some sort to contribute to the birthday tea.

Have a peaceful day everyone.

Morning everyone from sunny S Lanarkshire. Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers for my friend yesterday. She had chosen beautiful readings and hymns ( two singers are allowed here), and it was a lovely tribute of love from a mother to a son.

Second jab today, DD2. is coming to stay overnight in case of a repeat of an unusual reaction I had last time. I am of course, very grateful to be getting it but a little wary.
Later we are going to have a take away from a local Italian restaurant, my first in the pandemic!

Wishing everyone a good day??

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s a bit cloudy but the sun is breaking through.
Off for a walk with a friend then lunch at our village pub. Feels like getting back to normal.
The electric work and boiler service went fine yesterday. Good to get things sorted.
Lovely pictures this morning.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Oops

Good Morning Mick and all from blue sky and sun in S Hants, +7. Glad you’re back out and about Mick. The GC’s are a dream, it’s so lovely to have them for more than a garden or doorstep visit, tucking in to blueberry muffins. They’ll help me wash my car in a while, I’ll drop them back then Mr J and I are off to the allotment.
Photo ft Mr J’s knees! Have a lovely day all.
PS we still need rain!

Still trying to upload my pic!

Good morning Michael and all GNs. It’s cool and slightly overcast in South Yorkshire after yesterday’s wall to wall heat fest. We are going for a walk down the valley today and hopefully a swift half outside the pub before we stagger back! Then DH wants to cut the lawn before watching his team play football on TV. I really don’t know why he puts himself through it. Who knows, they may win tonight but it’s too late now. I try to look interested but......?
Have a good day folks, whatever you’re doing, and stay safe.

Lovely photo glammagran.

Good morning. A bright start here in N. Bucks.
Local food shop this morning and a walk along the river. Some pottering in the garden this afternoon .
Hope you all find a ? today.

Thank you all so much for your good wishes on the birth of DGS. He pretty much sleeps all the time he’s not feeding so his 2 year old sister is finding him rather boring. Here’s a picture of them meeting on Wednesday.

We had the family round for sandwiches in the garden and then took a walk to the local park. Within 2 days DD2 is looking so well. We had a bbq in the early evening but the east wind made it a little chilly.

I’m pleased MawB has got a new dog and I hope B9exchange’s GC arrives very soon. It’s not fun being late as I know too well myself.

Have a good day everyone.

Good news Urms. We know how anxious you’ve been about your neck. Now you can relax ! ?

Good morning from a cool Morecambe Bay where another pleasant day is promised. Later today little GD is coming over. That will be 5 out of 7 we will have seen in the last 8 days!
I had a present of a craft kit delivered every month and this months is a paper making kit to which you add seeds. At a later point you set them off to grow. It involves a lot of mess and squish I think, so I will get some ‘help’ from DG when she arrives.
It’s Saturday so chat with my friend shortly. Take care and stay safe everyone ???

Good morning all from sunny and bright Welwyn, Herts. I can't believe the weekend is here again, the days seem to fly past with DGC care on three days and the days in between are used for shopping and household chores, but it's all good.
I finally managed to do some window cleaning this week, but I paid for the joy later with the pain in my shoulder, must have overdone it a bit.
Next week DH and myself are due to have our second Covid jab, thankfully we are slowly getting back to some sort of normality.
Wishing you all a joyous weekend whatever you may be doing.

Good morning all from a bright, sunshiny Suffolk coast.

Yesterday was warm and the wind had eased. Let’s see what today brings. ?

At last we’ve finished painting the summerhouse. Tbh it could do with a third coat but that ain’t gonna happen. We are truly sick of it. DS1 and 2 said they will come and do it for us next time. ❤️.

Our house in Essex has been painted while we’ve been here and the pics look lovely, so it will be nice to go back to on Monday.

We had coffee with our neighbour who is up for sale. She has had a few viewers and I think it will be snapped up, maybe for a holiday let. It would be perfect for that as it’s right on the beach, next to a small country pub and a little cafe a little way up the beach.

A lazy weekend for us, pottering and reading. Bliss!

Wishing you all a sunny, safe and satisfactory saturday ?

Brilliant and reassuring news Urmstongran

Hello Maw wishing you many happy doggie walks ?

Morning Mick and all

Another sunny day in paradise ???

Will go to local butchers some time this morning. Then I will look at my pots in the garden, decide what I need to buy ??

I shall try and avoid the news this weekend, I feel so much better without the constant drip of bad news.

Enjoy all the garden visits and meet-ups ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Good morning all from a cloudy Polmont. I haven't said that for a few days! LauraNorder I would struggle to live where you are because I have an absolute fear of bridges. An old friend reckons it's because I'm secretly a witch and they can't cross running water. There is one particular bridge at Perth which I find almost impossible to cross which was a problem as dd went to uni in Dundee.
Marydoll can you grow leeks in pots? I've rediscovered gardening since I moved into my bungalow and would like to experiment more with growing veg in pots. Pittcity are you settling in to your new house? It sounds like you are. When I moved I was impatient to have all the work done by trades because I had a vision for how my wee house could look. Fortunately that was before the pandemic.
Today is a smallish shop at Aldi and housework. It doesn't take long and I will spread it out with frequent stops for tea. I have nothing else planned so I shall potter about. Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it promises to be another fine day.
☀️

I’m joyous this morning because the scan of my neck yesterday afternoon was completely normal. Yay! The sonographer (a doctor who was lovely) said she couldn’t explain my symptoms but I told her I was hugely reassured by the scan and am waiting to see an ENT specialist. I just about skipped home as you can imagine.

Saturday is a bacon & egg breakfast here. Himself is still snoozing. Also Maw picks up her new greyhound this afternoon so a shout out to you dear lady!

Hope Saturday is good to us all. Keep safe. x

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another dry sunny day forecast. Yesterday was lovely again and I enjoyed meeting my friend and chatting away for ages for most of the afternoon
Lovely picture Ellianne thank you
Lots of gardening activities happening, I think Spring is such a lovely time of year, especially when the weather is good.
This morning we’re going to DD2 garden for a sit in the sunshine and to watch the DGC playing. They’ve just bought a new wooden swing/slide set that is being rather difficult to put up, so Sil and DH will have another go at that later.
I’ve managed to find a little place to stay not far from my DD1 in Cambridge so I’m going away for a few days next week - so excited as I’ve not seen them for months. It’s just me going as DH should be starting back at his part time gardening job next week which he’s looking forward to.
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Forgot the photo

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Anglesey with a hazy sky and promise of another beautiful day.
Sounds as though life is more jolly for you Mick now that you can be about and about.
I too was guilty of not protecting my face from the sun NanKate, look like a cross between Rudolph with his red nose and Father C with red cheeks. Factor 50 on today and a big straw hat.
Supposed to be gate painting today to match the new fences but have run out of paint. No delivery until Monday so will have to find something else to do.
Our little lane has resembled the M25 this week with cars towing caravans and boats or loaded with top boxes arriving by the dozen. Winnebagos galore, goodness knows where they are finding space. There are two caravan parks that must be overflowing by now.
I might wander down and have a nosy poke.
Although we can see the sea we can’t see the caravan parks. Will post a photo from the bedroom window.
Off to Leicester tomorrow, first time we’ve crossed the bridge to the mainland for 14 months oo er Mrs. We’ll toot as we pass you Pant.
So glad you have an ally Cherry, let’s hope you can get something done together. Have another ‘lucky’ day, goodness knows you deserve it.
Have a lovely flamingo filled weekend everyone. See you on Monday
???

Good morning all and a special mention welcome to Grannytilly.
As Kalu has mentioned, its cloudy here in Glasgow, but hopefully sunny later. I have just realised why my face is so red, its sunburn from yesterday's garden pottering.
Kalu, I don't want to hear of any girl racers, bombing down those country roads near you ( and me Litterpicker ) ! ??

A day of pottering in the garden for me too. I need to repot my leeks and tidy up some old pots, which DH has abandoned (as usual) at the bottom of the garden.

I received the loveliest of video messages from Dollie yesterday, It was so unexpected.
It started with her telling me that when Nicola says it's OK, I'm coming down to look after you. She planned to bake and do my dishes for me just like she used to do.

She then proceeded to offer me the job of headteacher in her school. The HT, an ex colleague of mine was due to retire in the summer, but has broken her shoulder, so a replacement is needed urgently. Its such a sad way to end her career.
Dollie listed all the reasons (accompanied by a multitude of had gestures) why I was so suitable for the job. It was absolutely hilarious. #super teacher gran. ??
The best reason was, that as her gran, she wouldn't need her mum and dad to pick her up, because being the heidie, I would just take her home at the end of the day for a sleepover and we could have a party. She has got that so wrong. I would be making ner do her homework first! ?

Oh how I have missed that wee girl! ? ?
My son sent the video, so we hope it is a sign that he is eventually softening.

Keeping all of our struggling friends and their families in my thoughts and prayers thoughts and hoping you have the best day you can. Life is so difficult for many just now. ?

DH has brought me a cuppa to take with my pain relief and the newspaper in bed. Bliss! Happy Saturday!

Hope we all find something to laugh at today, even if it’s only ourselves
Oopsadaisy1 Plenty of good material there!
Sorry I didn't get time to answer your kind enquiry about my recent hospital episode; the rug being whipped out from under my feet! so to speak!
No! My fall wasn't due to BPPV again, thankfully, but a good old-fashioned trip. All "goodish" now!
Hope your BPPV has disappeared;
Thanks again for asking
OoRoo .

Good morning from Shropshire.

Thank you so much for all the supportive posts,messages and advice re my dentist situation.I have registered with a new practice and have an appointment at the end of May.

DGD stayed over last night.We have put her tent up in the garden so she is having breakfast in there this morning.We will just take the day as it comes.

Cherry, so pleased you have an ally and that you are getting good advice on dealing with the situation.

Thinking of all our missing good morningers and those having treatment or with partners having or waiting for treatment?

Have a good day all??
