Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry and bright start here in Brackley this morning.
Apart from being 73 today , I am OK .
Today, will be a quiet day , and will have a fry up breakfast for a change.
Yesterdays trip was OK ,with odd showers , which spoilt drinking and eating out in a cafe , as like most customers headed for tables with umbrellas , the flea market closed earlier , as most stall holders do not have gazebos , otherwise a nice trip on buses.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning everyone from a sunny Portugal. We have still got a chilly wind though.
What a lot of posts there are since I looked in earlier. First of all Happy Birthday to Mick, I hope you have a good one and thank you for starting this thread every morning. ?
Happy Birthday to Gwen too, I hope that it is a good one for you as well.
I’d better go and catch up with all those posts.

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Lueneburg. I just came in to have my tea brake (from gardening) when I saw it`s Michael`s birthday. Many happy returns, have fun. Also, I read that gagagran is not so cheerful this morning. Same here. Breakfast on my own again. I hope that gagagran will feel on top of the world again soon. I am cheering up already. There are so many lovely things happening : restrictions are slowly being lifted and I may be able to see my new home sometimes after my 2nd vacc.
Take care all.

I am camped in DD1 s sitting room while my lovely cleaning lady is doing her best in my Granny flat
Virtual Church was lovely this morning , the Priest talked about the Good Shepherd which I found comforting

Morning everyone from the sunshine coast of north Kent.

A frightening night for you Dragonfly. Hopefully they will soon sort you out and you can return home. Hope you take things easy Gaga and feel better soon.

Happy Birthday Mick. Hope you and all the other birthday people have a good day ??

Welcome Grannytilly

Major excitement today; am going out for lunch with some friends at their house; well, she said tea and cakes, but I fully expect to have Pimms and snacks in the sunshine. What a difference a year makes!

Hope you all have a good day. Thoughts with our poorly and struggling grans.

Good Morning to Mick and a fry up seems an excellent start to your birthday. Frost this morning in Cornwall and still chilly now as we approached mid day.

Good Morning to all the other early risers. Wish I could do that. A good night's sleep would aid such a challenge. MrM left me in bed. Tossed and turned throughout most of the night which aggravated my hip. He's now put my poached egg in front of me so I will return to read all the posts after Mick's.

Have I missed Grandmafrench? I don't recall seeing her post for a couple of days.

Dogsmakemesmile Sun 02-May-21 10:34:58

Good morning everyone. Happy birthday to birthday people and best wishes to those who are having a testing time. Cloudy here but no rain so far. No plans bar dusting bookcases and sorting out books for charity shop/recycling. Determined to pare down what we have. Duplicates of everything..
Stay safe everyone.

Good morning all and a very happy birthday Mick cupcake

I think we’re in for a day of sunshine and showers here. It’s quieter outside, apart from a few walkers and cyclists. Not much planned for Mr. B and I today, we’re both feeling in need of some chill out time.

grannytilly2511 Sun 02-May-21 10:31:10

Thanks to all who have welcomed me today
You are such a friendly lot of grans

Sending good wishes to everyone.

Happy Birthday Gwenisgreat ???

Gagagran take things easy, indulge yourself for a few days ?

Hello granyilly

It’s busy on here this morning.

EV I know what you mean, especially this past year, it’s a reassuring feeling that folks out there care for us and we in turn you care for them ?

Harris27 Sun 02-May-21 09:42:29

Happy birthday mick! Having a lie in after a busy week. Long hours at work in childcare not recommended after 60! Otherwise catch up on housework and some nice lunch and If the weather holds some gardening. Love to all.

Isn't it strange that we feel real sympathy for our poorly grans ?
I usually spend the day wondering how they're getting on----and most of us have never met.

Astute comment EV. Me too.

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. I just tried to have breakfast in the greenhouse where I have a couple of easy chairs and can admire my plantlings, but had to come in from the cold.

Oh dear Dragonfly I hope you are OK. flowers

Gagagran It has been such a hard year for you. No wonder you have no energy. Take it easy and be kind to yourself.

Happy birthday Mick and Gwen. cupcake wine

May is a popular month for birthdays.
I had a lovely day yesterday when DD and her family came for lunch. It was sunny, if not hot, and there was much running about and laughter.

Welcome grannytilly

Sending good wishes to you all.
