Good Morning May Bank Holiday Monday

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s sunny again but rain forecast for later.
Had a lovely day with DD2 yesterday. We walked on the morning and did some garden jobs later. Roast pork last night with a nice bottle of red!
She is still asleep so not sure what today will bring. I know she has done work to do and I have ironing.
Pleased you are home Dragonfly and you are feeling better gaga.
Photo for brooke but it’s decided to be sideways on ?
Hope today is kind to everyone.Stay safe.

grandmajet lovely to hear about your pony. Ours was out at the time and found a quiet spot in the field to give birth. Little did she know we could see her from our kitchen window and dashed up there to see two legs poking out! It was starting to get dark by the time the foal could stand and we gently walked them down to the stable, although mum wanted to stay out. Not many people witness horses giving birth as they prefer to do it while no one is around if possible, so we were lucky!

Good morning, everyone, from a bright but very breezy Whiddon Down! Whilst WiFi allows, I’ll leave a few lines.

I’m pleased you’re home dragonfly and hope things settle for you, health wise. That accident sounds ghastly, Sara53, but how kind of you to stay with the victim.

Yesterday, I enjoyed a drove over Dartmoor but saw few animals apart from the Lycra clad ones on two wheels! Then I stopped in Tavistock for a wander and sampled an ice cream from Willy's van.....! Luckily, on my return trip, the police diverted us off the A30 so I wasn’t caught up in tailbacks caused by a serious accident, which resulted in the air ambulance being deployed. Another day ruined for some poor folk.

Enjoy the “bonk” holiday, as my naughty DH, olddudders, calls them. A schoolboy at heart! ?

Good morning from a bright , calm start here in Essex. I know it won’t last but it’s lovely at the moment.

We had a very busy day yesterday with family popping in and out. DS2 brought his new pup but our Elsie (cockerpoo) wasn’t keen on him at all. Hopefully they will get used to each other. ?

A quieter day today but with DDil and girls popping in later as DS1 and dh are going to watch a footie match. The girls are teenagers so they’ll be on their phones and mum and I will just chat.

Hope dragonfly is feeling better and is back home.

Sar what a shock for you to witness that accident, lovely of you to stop and help. ?

Brook enjoy your last day with your family and safe journey home tomorrow.

LOD very unsatisfactory ending.

Here hoping your day is carefree. ???

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

It’s looking grey here today in Notts. Not even a breath of wind, We are promised much rain later - I hope we get it this time.
Good new that dragonfly is home and gagagran is feeling better. Your children certainly can cheer you up with good news, gaga.
Well done stopping to help sar - it sounds a frightening accident to witness.
Lovely to hear of your ? beauregard. We had a pony who gave birth in our stable years ago, but she sneaked him out between our frequent visits - she was just standing there eating hay, with no foal, then half an hour later still eating hay, with foal standing looking wobbly next to her! I remember saying ‘oh, she’s done it’, so surprised!
It’s a nothing much on today for us too. A bit of housework, and I’ll go for a walk if it rains - I like walking in the rain.
Enjoy today, busy or not, everyone.

Good morning all. It's dull and cold in Polmont. Sar what a horrible experience for you. I hope the gentleman is ok. Brooke you are having a lovely time with family. Dragonfly I'm pleased to hear that you are home. Take care. Gagagran good to hear that you feel better today.
No babysitting duties today as dd is on holiday. Therefore today I will do some baking to replenish the tins. Scones,blueberry muffins and peanut butter cookies. Apart from that, I'll potter about. Whatever you are up to, I hope today is a good day.

Good morning Mick and all, high cloud with rain and wind due later. Good you’re home pantglas go easy.
Sar what a shock to start your day! And Gaga pleased you’re on the up.
No real plans today, DH went to work an hour ago, probably boring housework, but we’re hatching a plan. We booked DD and GC’s into a mobile home for October half term in Hastings. So, we’re going to book a couple of nights in a hotel nearby and surprise them. I can’t wait for two weeks time when we can have my son, daughter and GC’s indoors and hug them all. Over a year, no hugs, it’s a long time.
Have a good day all, it doesn’t feel like a BH, enjoy all your ‘doings’ ?

Crossed posts dragonfly. Glad to see your are back home. Our dog has his op tomorrow too, he is being neutered which should be straightforward but of course we still worry about our pets

Good morning from north Surrey. Must get our walk in this morning as rain and wind forecast for this morning.
Yesterday the cushions went in and out with showers dampening the garden. Decided to move the dining table so it was next to the open patio doors and placed DS at that end of the table as he is the only adult not to have been vaccinated yet.
We enjoyed a delicious piece of roast beef which has been waiting for such an occasion (originally bought for Christmas dinner)!
DGS2 then had a meltdown as his mum is trying to get him to eat a “tiny” bit of veg at each mealtime. With his stubborn nature it went on for ages, I have never see him quite so upset, nit was his older brother who eventually distracted him out of his paddy.
Nothing on the agenda for today but something always turns up to keep me busy
I do hope that dragonfly had a comfortable night and gets some answers and is back home soon.
Wishing all a happy Bank Holiday Monday and look forward to hearing of more family get togethers

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Rain forecast for later. Another quiet day here. We don't feel the need to make the most of a Bank Holiday now that we are retired.
About to watch the LOD interview on BBC Breakfast as we were disappointed too.

Sending hugs to all x

Glad to see that you are safely home again dragonfly and good morning from Portugal. The sun isn’t over the house yet so deep shade all around us but the coast looks bright and sunny.

I too wasn’t impressed by the ending of LoD. Though that could be down to my bad habit of catching up with GN at the same time.

Enjoy your day everyone. It isn’t a public holiday here as although 1st of May is an important day, if a bank holiday occurs at the weekend then there not is extra day added on the Monday.

Good Morning all. Looking dull here in N. Bucks.
Glad some are fed better and thoughts with those who are still having troubles
We are picking up MIL later to take her for lunch and DD2 is joining us.
Lovely visit to DD3 and familyyesterday . First cuddle with Charlie and lovely to see his big brother so gentle with him.
Hope you all find a ?today.

Good morning from a very cool Leicestershire.

Thank you so much for all your good wishes yesterday it means a lot. I got home last night armed with blood thinners and beta blockers so we see where we go from here.
I told the doctors I had to get home for LoD but what an anticlimax!

Got to prepare for Dexter*s op tomorrow. Possibly the worry of that didn’t help but as DD said it isn’t my responsibility.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where it’s still dry ahead of the forecast rain.
I need to put my cross stitch down today and do something different. I’ve earmarked today to make a cover for our campa toilet. But first I need to do some exercise. I keep making excuses not to do any, so I need to get back into a routine. I think I’ll start with my Pilates ball today.
Take care and stay safe everyone ???

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. 8°C but feels too chilly. At least the workmen next door are having a day off so the garden will be quiet. I will plant out more seedlings and pray they don't freeze to death
How awful Sar to witness that accident but well done stopping and helping.

I am glad you are feeling better Gagagran
Your Cambridge trip sounds perfect Brook. I have a DSis there and all her family but I haven't been for a couple of years.
I hope Mick and everyone who follows, enjoy their day.

Good morning everyone.
Sounds like I'm joining some of you in a nothing much on, maybe day.
The only certainty is a dog walk!

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

I have to nip to Waitrose this morning and then we are going to try to book some short breaks!

It is DD3's partner's birthday today and also Topsy's. I'm sure there are others but I saw them mentioned yesterday- but that was yesterday.

Hoping dragonfly got home and wasn't too disappointed in LoD.

Good morning from quite a bright Fife. Have dentist appointment at midday (filling), so I really do wish that was over and done with. However, if it’s not raining by then, a walk along Kirkcaldy Prom will blow the cobwebs away.
Wishing you all well, and hope I can soon catch up with all of your comings and goings.

Good morning all from dry Harrogate ( not dry for much longer) hope you had a good day Mick
Had a wonderful day yesterday with the family. My DD1 is a wonderful cook, so enjoyed roast beef & Yorkshire puds ( much nicer than I’ve ever made). Maybe it’s time I took lessons from her!! DD2 is quite capable but is either busy with work or teaching GS. He is struggling to talk and I am struggling to understand him. But it’s progress.
Today could well be a nothingness day.
Hope there’s been a great improvement today dragon
Glad you are feeling better today Gagagran
Hope today is better for everyone - I’ll pop back to read up on you all later!

Morning Mick and all

Oh dearSar what a terrible start to the day, that accident must have really shaken you up.

Pleased you are feeling better today gagagran.

Sun is out but not for long, wind and rain due later.

Had a lovely couple of hours with youngest son and family yesterday, GD who is four this month was full of cuddles and smiles, her baby brother (19 months) is such a sweet boy.

Our roast never happened yesterday as the 6 he old rang and invited himself for a roast today (Mummy and Imp are now joining him) so it’s roast beef for dinner tonigh ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning from Shropshire.

We are hoping for a quiet day today.Catch up on house jobs then relax??

Hope you are feeling better dragonfly?

What a terrible accident for you to witness Sar.It must have been a comfort for the poor man to have you with him while waiting for the paramedics.

Glad you are feeling brighter today gaga.Hope that Cherry,Mary,Auntieflo have had a restful night too.

Have a good day all??

Good morning everyone from Cambridge, it’s dry and bright again but I think some rain is forecast for later
A very warm welcome to all new posters. What an awful thing to witness Sar and such a shock, I hope everyone is ok
Yesterday was a beautiful day, we all walked by the river into Granchester and then lunch in a lovely tea garden. Then back to DD1 house for chicken kebabs and salad in the garden. Not sure what we’re doing today yet, we will see but it’s my last day here as I’m travelling home tomorrow so I’m going to make the most of it!
Hope dragonfly is home now and feeling better.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning all from Derbyshire. It's cloudy at the moment, but rain is on its way soon. No complaints about that as it's very much needed. Shame it's on a bank holiday though.

I agree about LoD grandMattie very disappointing.

Today is 8 years since I watched (and assisted) my D? arrive into the world - a magical moment for me - so there will be extra carrots when I visit her later. We lost her lovely mum last year, so there are memories of her too today.

I'm going to put some tomatoes in the greenhouse this morning and do a few indoor jobs when the rain starts. I'm fast running out of fruit so a trip to the supermarket might be needed later.

Hope dragonfly is feeling better and will be back home soon.

Have a good bank holiday Monday.

Good morning from Essex by the sea. The sun is trying it's best to come out but we are forecast strong winds and rain later.
On our way to rugby yesterday morning we witnessed a nasty accident. A delivery driver, obviously not looking where he was going, ploughed into the back of an AA van that had stopped to help a man and his daughter who had broken down. The man was thrown through the air and was quite badly hurt. I sat with him until the paramedics arrived and took over. I left my details in case the police want to get in touch. I really hope he's ok. Not a great start to his day.
No plans today, although DH will be watching the snooker final.
We were also a bit underwhelmed with the ending of LofD.
Enjoy Bank Holiday Monday and find that ? xx
