Good Morning Everyone,
Its grey and windy outside, but remains dry here in brackley this morning.
Did my usual yesterday , saw my dealer at the flea market , did usual cafes stops in both cases ordering inside to eat outside , the first one in Bicester , was told they may not return to indoor eating , due to staff shortages obvious lockdowns with closers do not make things perfect .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning everyone from a cloudy grey Portugal. Not raining at the moment but from the forecast it seems as if we’ll have plenty to spare for the next few days.

I’m trying to find the enthusiasm to wash my hair today but am finding that the antihistamines are sapping my energy. If the scan induced rash is still there tomorrow I’ll have to phone the surgery.

Glamma your lovely photograph reminded me of one I had of my grandchildren at the same age. DGD really worshipped DGS when he was born two years after her and must have loved him like that for all of two years grin It was probably longer but for the first couple of years he could do no wrong in her eyes at all.

Taichinan does that mean you have to cross That Bridge? ?

Good Morning to you all from an overcast Cambs., (It was sunny when I started reading your posts!!) We've had a chilly east wind for a few days now. But NO rain, after being very wet in late December, our garden is now parched.

We had a good 3 days at our little home-from-home in NW Norfolk, weather was lovely & we got a few chores done ready for the summer season.
It was good to see the first of the oilseed rape in the fields on the way home. (*Alygran*)?

Brook hope you enjoy seeing your family in our wonderful County City. (we are an hours drive away, with fair wind & traffic)!!

Warm wishes to you all, especially those with extra problems. flowers

Take Care Folks

Good morning from sunny Cornwall. Need my fleece on but will be sat outside in a mo with my poached egg on sourdough. MrM is busy making it.
I had a super long lie in. Combination of hardly any bending yesterday (so hardly any sciatic pain when lying down) but above all I had a text from dear son last evening.?Thank you to those who've kept my spirits up with your comforting words here and in PMs. He says he will ring today but he's not feeling stressed and has an interview on Tuesday and knows the MD from a while back. My fingers are crossed for that Jax??

Susan and Grandmabatty I am a long skirt/dress fan and it goes back to the 70s. Loved making them for my daughter then too. With being tall, I made them all. Even now, I have three maxi skirts in my wardrobe that are my staple summer wear.
Grandmajet. I keep seeing Anna Maxwell Martin popping up in other things. Excellent actress. I don't want LoD to finish. Only two left☹️.
I do like the thought of having a bar downstairs Urmston. Enjoy your lunch.
Ash?Weird
Gelisajams £100K Wow. That's a huge amount in 3 years. I do hope you get some friendly quiet neighbours.

Well I wish I had an empty day but dog walks and gardening are calling. My mobile will be tucked into my pocket waiting for that call.

Looking forward to my two days out next week. Lunch out both days. First time since ?????? I really can't remember. Then hair cut on Friday.?

Take care Mick and everyone.

I'm not looking forward to Tuesday

URMS I'm glad your ok that's great news you can stop worrying now

Planted up my giant trailing begonias yesterday they are like triffids I've had to buy a tall pot for them as last year they outgrew the containers they were in,will leave them in the conservatory till no more frost

Hope you all have a good day

Morning all. We had a quiet Ruby anniversary bbq yesterday in the garden with son and family as the only guests due to current restrictions.
Not what was planned but lovely all the same.
Here’s a photo of the cake- red velvet inside- tasted so good.
flowers for those with worries or just feeling a bit bleugh today.

What a lovely cake

Good morning from the north of Scotland.. another sunny day but like others, holding back on planting due to overnight frost.
Noisy here as neighbours all out with chainsaws but lovely to hear the busyness after unnatural quiet over the last year.
My AC hope to be able to visit soon.. Can’t wait.
? for you and your DH harrigran.

Taichinan Sun 25-Apr-21 11:44:43

No Grandmabatty - neither of us has to today ?. If I decide to take the river route home I shall see it in the distance ?

Greyduster Sun 25-Apr-21 12:11:24

Congratulations on your ruby anniversary, Mamaa! What a beautiful cake!

B9exchange Sun 25-Apr-21 12:26:07

Grettings everyone, sum has come out after a grey start in SW Herts.
Mamaa what a beautiful cake! My brother and DSiL are celebrating their 40th today, and their celebration is apparently a home delivery from Nandos grin. However he has bought her ruby and diamond ring, so I will forgive him.

hope all you problems are little ones today. Sadly no news yet on the arrival of latest grandchild, now 7 days overdue. DDiL is having a membrane sweep tomorrow, fingers crossed that does something, or it will be a Caesar on Saturday.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. My what a lot of goings on, how on earth do you all remember who did what and when?
DH said I had a restless night last night, I don't remember, but
hope I didn't disturb him too much. He has always been a much lighter sleeper than me. He went to Church, on his own again, this morning, and I listened to the on line service. I would love to go back, but not sure if I could sit still for the length of the service, and the doors will be open, so chilly!
Congratulations on your anniversary mamaa, what a beautiful cake.
Harrigran, what appalling 'service' from your surgery, but glad to hear that your sister helped to sort it out.

On the other hand, I saw my oncologist on Friday morning, and mentioned how I would get my next lot of tablets.
Well, last night I had a text to say my prescription was ready to collect at the chemist, so DH collected it on the way home this morning. That was service, as usually when I do my on line order, for the regular prescriptions, it can take up to a week!

Ashcombe, better the egg shell in your bra, that find it in a bite of a sandwich. ?
Loved the sheep picture Greyduster, but so glad to hear that you are having pork for dinner, and not lamb.

Weeding lady is coming tomorrow, after being snowed off last time. Blood tests for me, if there is any more to find, and I begin my second chemo cycle on Tuesday.

Although it is so sunny here, there is a very chill wind, so am staying inside, except for a short walk later on.
Have a good day one and all.

Hello Everyone, I’m a trifle chilly here , my lovely cleaning lady started back today , great ? I really missed her chat and of course the sparkling house ? , but she is not vaccinated! Will not be vaccinated! Thinks it’s all sad but inevitable ! So I have all the doors and windows open now
Then DDand I had a mini head to head about pruning Forsythia , grabbed the loppers and reduced one to stumps ! She has lightly pruned one and left one alone so we can see the result next year ?
