Good Morning Thursday

Good morning everyone from a slowly brightening Essex by the sea. We still haven't had any rain although it is forecast for later.
Shopping this morning, nothing much else planned.
DH cracked his head on his boat yesterday, he has a big gash on the top and very little hair to absorb the blow. He's woken up this morning with a splitting headache, I do wonder if he concussed himself. I've left him to sleep.
DD1 had her first jab yesterday. She told me that DGD3 was the runner up in a drawing competition at school, this was out of 90+ students. A proud nanny here, especially as said granddaughter seems very sad at the moment which is worrying my daughter.
Have a lovely Thursday, take care and find a ? xx

Bye for now Laura. See you later I hope. It is an absolutely beautiful day here, warm and very sunny so we drove down to Warburton through the lovely countryside and had lunch at one of the cafes there. Then we went for a walk by the river there and watched all the birds and wildlife around.

Good morning Mick, morning all from cold but sunny South Lanarkshire.

I’ve missed B9’s news so I’ll go back to yesterday’s thread to catch up.

Hope you feel better Ash and are able to have your vaccine. I had my second dose yesterday and feel fine once more. I was lucky enough not to suffer any side effects last time.

Your poor knees Mattie but your planted tubs sound lovely.

DH and I are going for a mooch around the West End of Glasgow today, we will take coffee and buy a sandwich somewhere and plan to eat sitting on a bench in the Botanic Gardens. It’s a favourite place as we lived in the area a long time ago.

Sad news yesterday, one of my Uncles died, he was the brother in law of my mother and I was so fond of him. The older generation of my family is dwindling.

Hoping today brings a ? or two for everyone.

We shall miss you, LauraNorder especially your sense of humour, but you must do what feels right for you. Hope it’s not too long a sabbatical. ?

Good morning all from dry and sunny Anglesey. Just wanted to come on and say how much I have grown to care about so many of you and I wish you well in the future.
I’ve decided to have a long break from Gransnet as I’m getting in to very bad habits.
Cheerio for now.
???

Morning all from a bright but cool south coast. My rain dance did produce very light showers on, and mainly off, yesterday, but every little helps as someone once said! 4.3c this morning on my weather station with a high of 13c and dry forecast for this afternoon.

It's DD's interview today for a new and permanent job at a different university from her present research role at a different one. The funding for her research is due to run out in September and she is fed up of the uncertainty around seeking a new grant to carry it on. I have my fingers crossed.

The excitement here continued yesterday when the outside tap, which for a few days has had a small leak from the joint suddenly decided to show us it was serious and started a much bigger leak. DH rang the lovely CH engineer, who is coming to fit our new CH boiler in June, and he came almost immediately, and put a new tap on for us. Cost £72. (ow!)

Nothing on our agenda for today but I am not holding my breath as things keep turning up!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Good morning from another brightening day in E Kent. Not a drop of rain here... I swear that the clouds part on approaching us!
Yes, what fabulous news B9, so different to the first time. The happy couple must be feeling somewhat shell-shocked!
Ultimate Spanish class for thus session, next one in October. Normally we arrange for a nice little present for our tutor and have a little fiesta. Hoy? Nada!
Some gardening yesterday has left me sore. I can’t really bend over as it exacerbates my reflux, so I squat. I’m ok with that for a short time after which my elderly knees start complaining ?. Never mind, I managed to replant the two tubs by the front door. Not often very successful as some insect makes holes in every single type of plant I put in them. This time I’ve planted sage, rosemary and thyme - no parsley, but might interplant with geraniums.
Have a smiling day ?with lots of metaphorical sunshine. Throw in a few flowers ?? and flamingos ? ???for perfection. (The flamingo ?ignorant can see a post from me yesterday explaining)

Good morning, Mick and all who follow from a beautiful bright, morning in Torbay!

I wish I felt the same! Overnight, a sore throat that wasn’t soothed by a Stresspill (sic) has left me with a dilemma. Should I go ahead with my second vaccination, booked for this afternoon? I will seek advice from my GP Practice later.

What happy news from B9exchange yesterday evening after the angst of recent times! Warm congratulations to her and her family. ?

I hope the sun is shining wherever you are this morning! ☀️? ?
