Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning from Shropshire.Raining here too which is just what we need as the water butts are empty.

Looking after Henry today then school pick up for DGD and then once the children are home we will do the supermarket shopping.

Have a good day all and thinking of all our absent friends and all struggling with their health or the health of loved ones.

Good morning everyone from Cambridge where the sky is mostly grey, yesterday was dry but with light rain in the evening. My DD1 always jokes that whenever I visit I bring the Scottish weather with me as invariably it rains!
We had a lovely lunch yesterday at a hotel garden in town, not far from youngest DGS nursery. We sat right next to the outdoor heater under a marquee so I was cosy and warm and they had blankets if you wanted to borrow one. We had a good chat and I eventually found out a little bit about her new job which she’d started in February! Then we picked up DGS from nursery and the elder one from school. Got to meet one of DD running pals too.
Today I’ve got the day to myself so I’m going to look round the botanical gardens, taking my umbrella of course ..
Good news about your DS gaga and hope your DD interview goes well too
cornergran so pleased your goddaughter is less worried now ?
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning Mick and all

It’s grey here in S E Essex, I slept terribly last night, consequently I have a headache and feel exhausted. A quiet day is what I need.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside where we mostly have Micks Brackley weather.

I’m off to the dentist at last and then I’ll run a few errands. I might try to get my haircut this week. It’s the longest it’s been for a very long time and now starting to get on my wick.

My apple tree is on its last chance. The year before last there was hardly any apples and last year they had brown rot. This year it’s looking pretty at the moment with plenty of blossom so we’ll have to see. I’d wouldn’t mind keeping it for the blossom but don’t fancy picking up manky apples every year.

Have a good day all and to all the rain dancers, it worked ??

Morning Mick, morning All from a damp, grey corner of Somerset. The rain is welcome as long as it doesn’t stay too long but goodness why is it so cold?

Yesterday’s trip was predictably exhausting but successful. Got very cold though, a biting wind. Today is our usual Wednesday. Grocery delivery and dust removal, not exciting but somehow it gives shape to the week. Our goddaughter was reassured by a nurse yesterday and sounded much less stressed, relief all round.

Look after yourselves everyone, hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Morning all from a slightly damp south coast. My rain dance obviously worked! It's only a sprinkle so far but the first wet stuff from the sky this month.

Had some exciting news last night from our DS who has landed a job in the field he was aiming for, away from high finance in the City. He is hoping to start next week if the contract can be drawn up in time.

DD has an interview for a permanent university job on Thursday as the funding for her research is coming to an end and may not be continued. So, happy parents here this week! We never stop worrying about our chicks do we?

Cleaners due this morning followed by the District Nurse to attend to DH's personal needs then we can relax and enjoy some April showers, hopefully!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Good morning from a damp Torbay after an overnight soaking and more rain expected. ? Farmers and gardeners will be greatly relieved. ☔️

Thank you for the many kind comments about the horse drawn hearse yesterday and what a brilliant photo of your horse in silhouette, GrannyGravy13!

A quiet day apart from a Zoom meeting with the theatre mid-week social club, followed by the daily one with DH, olddudders.

I hope Rose feels better now her endoscopy is over and all those in pain of any kind find relief today. ??⛅️

Good morning from a dull E Kent. It would have been wonderful to have rain, but it always misses us.
The asparagus season has started! I’m going to be seriously poor as it costs £10/kg and we have some at least 5 times a week!
Had my hair cu! My word, it is short...after 5 months, I no longer look like Worzel Gummidge!
The gardener has finished the heavy work and pruning. He didn’t prune the trees much to my liking, but DH is thrilled so I may leave it unless they really get on my nerves. He just cut everything in a round shape rather than keeping generally to the tree shape and thinning huts, cutting others out! Naturally I was out when he did it.
Attached is a photo taken from my bathroom of my neighbour’s apple tree in bud and, behind it, a pear tree in full flower. Our plots used to be an orchard in the 1940s before it was built on. A couple of the houses still have venerable Bramley apple trees and Conference pears.
I hope everyone has lots of rain today, their plants perk up. Hope you have freedom from pain, sorrow, anxiety etc., today. ?☀️?

Morning Mick! Something like yourself in that I've a quiet day ahead with only a small shop planned. A little bit of essential paperwork (ugh!) and, if the weather is kind, I will try for a little more improvement in the garden. It was too cold yesterday for that. Never mind, May is within touching distance and that's one of my favourite months. So full of promise........
