Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

We had a lovely walk in the woods yesterday. The bluebells were magnificent.

Today DD and SiL are coming for lunch in the garden so better get cracking.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. It's been an unusually dry but cold April so far.
Apart from watering the garden there's nothing on the agenda this weekend. DH is going to clean and paint the inside of his garage, otherwise we've done all we can do ourselves in our new home and are just waiting on quotes and dates from tradespeople.
Much love x

Good morning Mick and all from slightly cloudy and 6° Lueneburg. I finished painting the radiators yesterday and spotted this morning that I should have covered the floor better. So today that has to be sorted and the paint removed from the floor. Otherwise only gardening and taking Waldi for a walk to the next village. I shall be starting to sort through my belongings and put the things which I am taking to my house in Britain into the spare room. I was happiest in Spain where we just had minimal belongings. ,
Wishing you all a pleasant weekend.

Good morning from Derbyshire. Another sunny day in store. Hopefully we've seen the last of the really cold, frosty mornings so I won't need to worry about the young greenhouse plants so much. Thankfully the seeds I sowed too early are starting to germinate - so all is not lost! I'll try to grow some pumpkins this year for the boys to carve faces in for Halloween ?.

We had a successful trip to the garden centre yesterday. I had already been the day before and had a good browse round everything in my own time, which would have bored DH, so this time it was straight to the counter, order the gazebo and out again! It won't arrive until mid June due to high demand, so I'm glad we haven't delayed ordering it any longer.

The walk that followed was shortened, which DH didn't seem to mind too much, probably because it ended with fish and chips for lunch!

Not much planned for today yet.

Hope Saturday is a good day for all.

Morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

We had a mixed day yesterday! Dd3 and the Wondrous Wolfie came in the morning before we all met DS1 in town for lunch. Considering Wolfie has not seen much of us at all in his 2 and a half years, he was lovely and relaxed.

When we arrived home, we were invited for a brew in a neighbours sunny garden.

We also had a vet's bill for one of the cats of over £500 and a diagnosis of possible asthma!

Enjoy your days everyone!

Subtle tones at the beach yesterday.
I joined lots of you with a haircut too!
Enjoy the weekend!

Morning Mick and All.

A bright warm day in prospect in South Bucks.

Yesterday my friend came round for coffee and we sat in a sunny corner of the garden. On looking in the mirror later I saw that my forehead was sunburnt. ? Must wear a hat next time.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. I'm hoping the chilly wind will have died down today.
Saturday treat, fresh croissants later and then who knows what the day may bring.
Have a great day and find a ? or two xx

Good morning, one and all from a sunny but breezy Torbay! The clear, blue sky tempts me out but the wind sends me indoors, just like the story of “The Wind and the Sun”!

Catching up on yesterday’s news:
I hope the day went as well as such things do, Stillearning.
Beautiful hair, GrannyGravy13!
Great to know that Bogdon will be going back, sheepandcattle. Congratulations on your Ruby Anniversary, mamaa ?????

muse and baubles: wot sox! Lovely photos from baubles, Elliane and Alygran. Port Isaac looked perfect, Elliane ...... for filming fish fingers?!
What an apt quotation, Grammaretto for this April and I was glad to read of your day out, Cherry and you making the acquaintance of a potential ally!

EkwaNimitee: my ex and I experienced the form filling malarkey and proof of ID on signing on with a new practice when we retired to Torbay 10 years ago. We filled in the alcohol questionnaire too honestly and were immediately offered appointments for counselling!! He was a heavy drinker and I would try to drink the other half of a bottle of wine each evening to reduce his consumption since he would have had gin before then a post prandial whiskey or three! Along with the medication he was on, this led to heavy sleeping for up to 12 hours at a time. We divorced three years later.

Now, I drink much less and not every day although this is more difficult when in France with DH, olddudders!

Happy weekend, everyone! ☀️????

Good morning from a frosty and sunny morning in Oxfordshire, we spent most of yesterday gardening, so hopefully a day of pottering this morning, although DH has 2 garden benches to sand down and then varnish and because it’s so dry the dust from the fields seems to have blown through every open window, giving me plenty of dusting to do.
Have a good day everyone, it’s good to hear that folks are starting to get back to normal with shopping etc. Hope we all find something to laugh at today, even if it’s only ourselves.

Good morning from Glasgow where it is cloudy at the moment with sun forecast for later.

In between footering about inside and outside, I must give my car a good run today and a much needed visit to our local car wash is another must.

Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning from north Surrey. Clear skies and another “warm” day forecast.
So lovely to hear of haircuts, shopping a people meeting up.
I am off to work this morning so just popping in to wish all a good day today

Good Morning everyone from what will be another sunny day on Severnside.

I had a successful shop yesterday and bought a few other things that I didn’t have on my list. Coming out of Asda I set the alarms off. I wanted to shout run ?‍♀️I then wondered where my car was.

I’ve got to finish off making a birthday card this morning then I will go outside and start the gutter cleaning on the garage as I want to give the walls a fresh coat of paint in the coming weeks.

Hope you all have a good day ?
