Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking grey above but its dry at the moment here in Brackley although could have rain showers throughout the day .
Plan for today , catch bus to Buckingham ,and then to Bicester , will di usual there have a coffee , hopefully the last time officially outside .
Small shop and bus back home , yesterdays surgery visit for blood test , resulted in unable to extract any.
So again in a couple of weeks with a morning appointment , otherwise OK , the blood pressure monitor readings I gave seem a little high so the she took it again , but explained that maybe the one I brought seem to be different as to fitting it on, but reading taken there was lower than those I gave .
Watch cycling unfold in Italy on TV ,and keeping an eye on where the GB riders finish.
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning All x.
Dull and damp and slightly cooler than of late, but smells nice and fresh.
Another visit from two blue-tits which seems to be a regular thing as they make a bee-line for the pine tree outside the patio door. The insects must be juicier grin I get full view of their antics.
The cats just sit and watch---from behind the door, but don't show signs of wanting to dart out.

I don't know what the day will bring as D said she has the weekend off. It depends what the children want to do, normally she'd pop in but we'll see.

It was lovely to hear of Marydoll's grand day and as usual I laughed about the flowers on the step, but how lovely. Didn't you do well ?

Dexter is a lovely animal, a real cuddly dog.I'm sure you'll miss him being around Dragonfly, I know I would.

How good is it to have Maw back in the fold ? I was so pleased, and to have updates on Rosie too will be great.

Lovely also to meet the new addition to the family Scentia, that feeling of the first hold is so special. Enjoy that time.

Loved the pic of the swans and all their brood, delightful. Such graceful birds. I'm so glad they're protected.

I was going to get the chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow but changed my mind when I saw the pack of lovely fresh lamb chops that I'd had delivered from Asda on Thursday. So it's chops again tomorrow with Jersey's this time and cauli. and carrots. I must have eaten half a bag of the potatoes yesterday with fish and peas, they were so tasty for a change.

I must get washed and dressed and show willing just in case anyone calls, though I must admit I'm quite happy as I am grin

Enjoy the day everyone and those on their travels, take care.
Hope the day goes well for all. Stay safe xx

Good morning from a very wet East Midlands. More jam making today and maybe some chocolate chip cookies. Come on Leicester today!

Good morning from the Sefton coast where it is another padded jacket and ☔️ day. Greetings to MawBe!
Such positive news of Marydoll’s lovely day yesterday, brook 2704’s weekend away and Cherry doing well. How witty that the free swimmers call themselves the blue tits monk08 grin; although I’ve missed my daily dip I’m not tempted to add to their number but I will join with Stilllearning - I’d feel exactly the same. Sending hugs to Fanny and Auntieflo.
Thinking of those with health problems and wishing that everyone finds a reason to smile and laugh out loud today.

Morning all, welcome back Maw, and great to hear your DD and DGD are now safely home Scentia. Enjoy your cuddles with both GC today, it is such a special time.
Enjoy your cake Ash!

The clips have arrived for the pelmet rail, so hope to get that repaired and out of cats' way today.

We have decided to celebrate freedom by booking three nights away in an historic hotel near Gloucester, leaving on 23rd. Will be so strange to be sleeping in a different bed, and being waited on!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Good morning (late) Mick and all from a dull northwest Lancashire coast.
FaceTime today with DD in south who is arriving tomorrow so did a proper shop yesterday and bought too many fattening things as had only eaten a banana. Never shop when you are hungry is the old adage. How true. I was reading in bed last night and had a packet of crisps (disgusting habit). One bag was not enough, so got up, fetched the other five and finished them off. I’m sure they were not full size bags?
The Indian variant is worrying, we seem to be going backwards.
Will read through later and thoughts to anyone with worries.

Monk that made me laugh about the blue tits ??.
I think my sons group are called the Hadleigh Plungers.
We’ll have to think up another name - perhaps the ‘Wee Willy Winkies’ ??

A woman after my own heart eating those crisps!
