Good Morning Saturday (May Day)

Morning all. Just see blue sky peeping through clouds here in West Yorks.Trying to motivate myself into washing 2prs curtains,it's the thought of the ironing I hate.
Greyduster hope the worry can be solved in daylight hrs.I have lost count of sleepless nights spent worrying over "what ifs".
Iris certainly is doing so well and will love the benefit of hydrotherapy.
Welcome to the world baby Charlie, always a joy when additions to family arrive safe and sound.My friend became a GGm for 2nd time yest, different to last yr when same GD gave birth during Apr lockdown.
Bought new garden pots yest (under pressure from DH) but now I'm not sure.anyway as DH has already skillfully drilled drainage holes into stone they are here to stay.
Hopefully mixed weather forecast will prevent holiday crowding, enjoy whatever you have planned and thoughts of those with illness and worry.Take care.

Good Morning all, wall to wall sun here but chilly , bit of a frost last night but hopefully no damage to the garden .
Haircut yesterday evening , it was supposed to be the afternoon but the poor lassie had double booked ! Didn’t recognise myself in the mirror this morning ! ! !

A late good morning from sunny Colchester.

Feeling a bit rough this morning. DH thought he'd pulled a muscle yesterday but the pain got worse and we ended up dialling 111 at midnight. They sent out an ambulance! They arrived within 20 minutes and checked him out coming to the conclusion that it was an infection and that he should've taken the painkillers that I offered when he first winced in pain. Two lovely people sat in our lounge for over an hour....so much paperwork. God bless our NHS.

DH went to bed and slept soundly, I was a wreck and feel like I've had a night on the tiles. I've fed him painkillers with his breakfast. I might have some too!!

Needless to say we'll be having a quiet day with me making a trip to buy more Ibuprofen and waiting on his nibs.

Much love to all x

Good morning Mick and all

???

Right blue sky, and it looks like we had some of Gingsters rain overnight.

Enjoy your new GC ginny and B9
Good news about Iris’s recovery grandmattie
I hope all of you have an enjoyable Mayday, where have the first months of the heat gone?

Local shop for me this morning, then curl up with my book

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from Cheshire - haven't read the posts yet. Blooming cold for May !
Hope this new month is better for everyone,

Good Morning all from the Scottish Borders where it is still far too cold for a May Day morning but perhaps it often is.
The sun is shining and my DD & co are coming for lunch. It will be her first visit home since her dad died last year.
I'd better get cooking.

Lovely baby news ginny and B9Ex
I cuddled a lamb this week but a baby human is very special.
Good news too about Iris, grandMattie
I hope your worries melt away greyduster
I am glad you had a restful day Marydoll even if it's only one....

Your bluebell pictures are truly gorgeous. Susan and Dwm
Only the Spanish ones here but I am fond of them.
They are more upright and come in pink and white too.

My days of washing my face in the May Day dew or dancing around the Maypole are long gone but I wonder if our DGC do that?

March winds and April showers make way for May Flowers.

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where it’s frosty again. The new leaves on the trees won’t like it a all. I’ve never known an April with so many heavy frosty nights.
Lots of good news skimming through the posts, I’ll read properly later. New babies and dogs are always welcome.
Enjoy your break Ash.
It’s Saturday again, how did that happen? My friend will be ringing any minute. We chat away for about an hour about nothing much at all!
Our AZ’s went well yesterday. The organisation was good but they were much less fussy about the social distancing with no one way system. Perhaps they thought that as everyone had had at least one jab it wasn’t necessary. Hopefully I won’t feel as tired as I did last time.
Take care stay safe everyone ???

Thanks grandmajet. I’ll give it a watch ?

grandMattie I am in Oxfordshire. If you Google, Virtual May Morning, Magdalen College, you can enjoy this morning's pre recorded celebration of May.

Thank you for all your good wishes, you lovely people! What a joyous thread, of which I feel honoured to be a participant. ?

More bluebells

Good morning on May day.
Do you have any friends named after a month? I know a person called May, June and Julie. I think April is a pretty name too.
I like the bluebell photos here.
Have a nice day.

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
Bright here but rain is coming before too long ... A few days to plant seeds then hopefully everything will be watered for me!
Congratulations on the cuckoo Grey. I thought there was one about yesterday but it was a distant wood pigeon!
Our rugby team won last night and are off to Twickenham. ?
Time to make a start - I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s cloudy and apparently going to be showery.

Love all the photos of the bluebell woods, they’re beginning to appear locally.

Congratulations to your niece dwm
Enjoy your weekend away Ashcombe and it’s good to hear that Iris is doing well gM.

My uncle’s online funeral today, they can only have 25 in the church making a sad time even more difficult as it has been for so many families.

DGD’s 4th birthday today so I’m doing a bit of baking for tomorrow’s picnic in the park. Her Mum has requested Fifteens for the Traybake along with some cupcakes so nothing taxing.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Mayday.

Good morning all. 2° and cloudy in Polmont. Enjoy your trip Mick. Dwym congratulations to your clever niece! Ashcombe have a lovely time in your holiday home. Beauregard my lovely neighbour won't be coming home as he requires too much care to live unaided. That means new neighbours for me at some point. Greyduster I hope the worries aren't too much. They seem worse in the middle of the night, don't they?
I have no idea why I'm up so early as I have nothing pressing. I shall go out to buy a couple of birthday gifts and deliver them but that's as exciting as it gets. I don't enjoy being in shops at all just now as they are too busy. Today will be a pottering one I think. Whatever you are up to, I hope you have a good day.

It’s a bit cloudy in Nottinghamshire today.
Lovely bluebell woods again, dwm.
Gingster, the last episode of Viewpoint is available on itv hub over the weekend. It is worth watching. It seems odd to take it off real-time tv but put it on the hub.
It’s lovely to hear of families getting together, new babies, holidays etc. Life is opening up again, let’s hope it can stay that way.
My son and his wife are coming for lunch in the garden. Rugs may be needed. My two local daughters may pop in too, but not their families - rule of six! I must get up soon and start chopping veg for spicy roasted veg couscous. DH is making salads and roasted new potatoes, and fresh fruit salad. I’ve made a fruit cake but it’s not vegan - they are not strict.
Have a lovely Saturday, everyone.

Good morning from S Lanarkshire, not clear blue sky at the moment but bright and hopeful.
Caught up last evening and saw your lovely news ginny, congratulations on the safe arrival of Charlie Joseph.

An early start for me today, I’m just getting ready to head off for a garden visit to my newly six year old grandson and family. We’ll have a breakfast celebration before they leave to go camping for the weekend. I am so looking forward to seeing them.

When I come home I’ll get on with clearing moss and weeds from my driveway, I’m pleased with what I achieved yesterday, I’m not a gardener, but it does look look better.

Wishing everyone a pleasant day.?

Good morning all from a chilly and cloudy Glasgow.

Nothing to report today. Yesterday proved to be an inactive day, dozing on the sofa, as I was feeling a bit ropey.
The highlight of the day was DD and SIL arriving at 8am with baker's morning rolls and bacon to make me breakfast. DD saw how unwell I was after my first vaccine dose and couldn't settle until she had checked up on me, since DH was golfing.
I could get to enjoy being looked after like this! ?

A gentle day in store. DD and my future DIL have birthdays over the next few days, so I will need to find the gifts, which are stashed all over the house. Remembering what exactly I have purchased for them and where they are hidden from DD is indeed a major problem!?

Enjoy your day, whatever your plans are.
Wishing you all, as painless and worry free a day as possible, for all the mountaineers on here, for whom life is a daily uphill struggle. ?

Good morning from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. When the weather is like this we get a lot of visitors to our local beaches, let's hope they behave and take their rubbish home with them.
Lovely to hear of new babies, Olive and Charlie and also of Maws new companion.
I think a walk is on the cards later this morning and no doubt DH will be watching the snooker later.
Enjoy May Day and find that ? xx

Good morning from brightish Leicestershire.

Not much planned today except dog walking.
DiL just sent a video of two fox Cubs which have got themselves trapped in their garden. She is going to put some steps out so they can climb back over their wall to mum.

Holiday time must make you miss DH all the more. Let’s hope you can meet up again soon.
Hope your worries disappear Greyduster and good news about Iris.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where I’m glad to say it’s dry as the boy wonder is in his football team’s semi final for a Cup this morning. I’m minding little miss so that mummy can join the boys. Himself is off for his second vaxx this morning so it’s busy, busy all round. The surgery contacted me and I’m having my second one next Saturday morning.

Hope everyone has a good Saturday. Keep safe. x

Good morning from Shropshire where it’s a dull start.

I will take DGD home this morning as she has a party at 12 then I haven’t a clue what is going on.After the party DD,DGD and I were meant to be visiting mum and having a meal delivered from a local restaurant.Due to mix ups with SIL’s day off, mum booking my brother in for today as well arrangements will change so we could be going today,tomorrow or next saturday?‍♀️presume someone will let me know at some point?‍♀️

Have a lovely time at your holiday home Ash.

Good news about Iris??

Thoughts with harrigran and her DH?

Have hopefully posted a picture of DGD a few years ago in the bluebell wood at Chirk Castle.

Have a good day and hoping Mary,Cherry and Auntieflo have had restful nights.??

Good morning from Derbyshire where it's cloudy and dry. We had a good rain shower yesterday evening, just after DH had watered the veg garden! It'll help for now until the proper rain arrives on Monday which will hopefully kick start the grass growing again.

I'm pleased that, after a slow start, my seeds are germinating well now. Only the dahlias seem to be struggling to come through. This morning I'll collect some spare tomato plants from my brother who lives nearby (saved me sowing them and made space for other things).

Yesterday our neighbours told us they are moving house in a few weeks. They're a young family and are lovely. We'll be sad to see them go and hope the new neighbours will be as nice.

Lovely news ginny on the birth of your grandson Charlie. Congratulations to you and yours. Great that baby Olive is now home B9exchange and that you can see her today. Well done to Dwmxwg's niece on becoming a doctor.

Hope today is good for all.

Good morning!
Thank you for all the congratulations yesterday. Charlie is , of course gorgeous.
Not sure when he will be home but can’t wait to see him in real life.
Today , big brother Thomas is coming over with his auntie and we are off for a picnic at the park. He can’t go to the hospital to see his Mummy or brother so we will keep him busy. Hope the weather is kind.
Glad to hear that Iris is progressing again.
Hope Olive will be home today.
Also hope Maw is enjoying her new companion.
Thoughts with all who are troubled in any way, may you all find a ?today.
