Good Morning Everyone,
Its cloudy and its been raining as well here in Brackley .
Yesterdays , trip out was not to bad , and being able to sit inside and have a coffee plus , was a bonus.
The only downside there seem to be fewer people about , or was it the time of the week , yet places like Bicester retail Village seem to be getting the numbers by car, rail and bus .
Today, small shop, and then watch an interesting stage to start week 2 of the Giro , as it it contains 4 gravel sections .
Take Care,
Mick

Good Morning All x. Happy Birthday Ashcombe x. flowers
Sunny with a bit more cloud than yesterday and also cooler with more of a breeze coming right off the sea. It's bright enough though.

Very best wishes for a speedy recovery for the next few weeks Grandmajet flowers Hope all goes well. x.

Some happy meetings some emotional but whatever the occasions have the best of times.

I enjoyed another couple of hours in the garden with neighbours yesterday after having done a bit of washing, drying merrily----the excitement's too much grin

Just finished a 50 minute phone-call from a friend, nice and unexpected, so have arranged to meet up later in the summer when the weather's more settled.

Looking at those fish on the grill earlier made me feel hungry so I had to do the crumpets and hot choc. Bream is lovely, I've had Red Snapper--same family of fish.

Good wishes go to your DD Sar in the hope that she can get sorted with her problem.

Glad that Marydoll isn't doing so badly now, a great relief to have a bit of a respite from physical problems.

If I don't make some headway with this post I'll be here at 4pm. grin
Wishing everyone well and a good day. Take care and stay safe one and all and extra care on the road. xx

grandmajet I will be thinking of you over the coming days and hope that all goes well with your surgery and recovery. Look forward to you posting again when you are feeling able to.
brook my Twitter name is super gran, chosen years ago when I first became a granny. I don’t normally tweet but follow some interesting people. As I get older I don’t feel much of a super granny anymore but I try my best. Poor DH does miss out but as he retired 10 years ago he is used to sharing me with all my other commitments

grandmajet Wishing you all the best following your surgery. You will be in my thoughts. flowers

Good morning everyone. Brilliant blue skies this part of the Scottish Borders. Today is my first day with a "moonboot". Yesterday had cast removed. Frankly terrified. Staff so pleasant and positive but here at home I am being rather a wuss. I need to change my mindset and focus on the fact my bone has healed and everyday I should be getting closer to what I was before. I seem to have lost my confidence. Apologies for talking about such a trivial issue. I read your posts and am aware that people are struggling with colossal dilemmas and situations. Have a good and safe day everyone.

Good morning from the north west where the sun is making an appearance.
Although I have yet to read your posts, I have noticed it’s Ashcombe’s 70+1 birthday. Many happy returns!
???
My fingers are crossed that all goes well for you tomorrow grandmajet and that you’re soon back on the mend. Your positivity amazes me.
???
Keep safe and find something to make you smile. x

Good morning, Mick and All from a sunny but chill Carlisle.
You have gone in the right direction for sun Ashcombe! I wonder if Keele Services will ever be better than ghastly? In our many trips up and down the country over the decades we avoided it like the plague if we could. But Happy Birthday and a great day out for you.
It's a housework catch up day for me and probably a bit of people chasing over the phone...some things don't happen as promptly as I think they should.
I hope every one has a good day and that rain disappears from down south.

B9exchange Wed 19-May-21 09:25:48

We have some sun this morning, but not exactly May weather.

Happy Birthday Ash, how wonderful to get your hugs, and enjoy your trip out. It is another GNter's birthday today, Maywalk is 91. She took a bit of a pasting trying to bring in a bit of levity yesterday, and her family celebrations postponed again, so let's hope she had a better day today.

Grandmajet prayers and thoughts with you, hope someone can give us news on how you are getting on until you feel up to it?

Have been feeling a bit down this week, the two DS's and their families I was hoping to be able see soon haven't returned my texts suggesting a meeting, sent on Sunday, though they have read them. Hope others are having better luck and am truly thrilled for those who are finally getting those longed for hugs, keep the good news coming!

Good morning from a fabulous sunny Durham. I’ve a masked appointment with a different solicitor later in an attempt to get a Statutory Declaration signed re. DH’s ‘estate’.
Happy Birthday Ash - my SIL lives near Crewe.
Grandmajet - wishing you well with your treatment.
Pleased Harri doesn’t seem as stressed - hope not anyway.
I’m planning a small BabyShower for DD2 in the garden on Saturday, so hoping it’s a day like today and no rain!

Roses Wed 19-May-21 09:05:53

Happy birthday Ash
Grandma jet sending you a big hug for tomorrow

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Greyduster Wed 19-May-21 08:39:22

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and thankfully the wind seems to have dropped. It made for a chilly walk yesterday. Yesterday’s first return visit to the dentist saw me with a clean bill of health and DH skewered for the hygienist once again, poor man. His lament is “I pay far more attention to my teeth than you do and this is the thanks I get!” I expect my turn will come, but it never has yet.
Nothing much planned today. I may make a cake and start the monumental task of sorting out the border in the front garden.
A very Happy Birthday to Ashcombe???. Enjoy your day!
Have a good one, folks.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny ?Northampton, but showers forecast again in the afternoon.

I spent yesterday morning cutting the front grass then an hour on the garden kneeler digging up all the dandelions; the lawn is now dotted with unsightly holes where they were. I then took heed of the forecast and cut the back grass as well, then retired worn out indoors for a coffee and lunch.
Of course the forecast was wrong and we got no rain in the afternoon!

Spent all afternoon unsuccessfully trying to set up the NHS app, but for some reason it will not accept my video ID. Might wait and try again when I get my new phone, as I might not have the system needed on my very old phone.

Not much on the cards today - finish my Sainsbury's order for tomorrow, wash the kitchen floor which I hate doing, then knitting and reading.

Happy birthday Ash, hope you have a lovely day with your family.

Grandmajet, hope all goes well for you.

Jax, I too have Flightradar and love it!

Hope the ? shines on us all today.

Good morning all. Blue skies and clouds again in Polmont. Yesterday we had a few heavy downpours which will save me watering the garden but not the pots. They'll need a good soak. Grandmajet all good wishes for you tomorrow. I'm another who will be thinking of you. Ashcombe happy birthday to you. I hope you have a lovely day with your dd. Like Marydoll I've never had a head teacher who would have been so kind and thoughtful.
Today I'm visiting mum then nipping to Stirling to see ds and have a coffee with him. He's on holiday and is going further north with his partner for a few days. Apart from that, the day will be quiet. I also have to pick up my prescription which I should have done last week but forgot. Have a good day all

Grandmajean Wed 19-May-21 08:26:47

Good morning from sunny Cheshire. Happy birthday Ashcombe - you are a mere youngster. Thinking of you Grandmajet and wishing you all the luck in the world. Have only managed to read one page so far . Wishing the best day possible to all and will catch up later. Ellianne your post made me laugh. To misquote "felt sorry for the seabream but they tasted wonderful"smile

Stilllearning Wed 19-May-21 08:24:57

Morning from a very sunny S Lanarkshire.

Happy Birthday Ashcombe, a day with your daughter, a perfect gift.

My local daughter has sold her house near me and is moving today to the nearby small town we lived in while she was growing up. They are going to rent there for a while in a very nice flat, while they decide whether they really do want to settle there, which I think is a sensible plan.

A trip to the library this morning, where I hope someone will help me reset my online membership , which I have managed to jigger, and a walk and coffee with a friend.

Grandmajet, you will be very much in my prayers until we see you again?, and wishing a good day to all.

Alygran Wed 19-May-21 08:23:33

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s a lovely sunny morning. I’m off to join friends for a walk today.
Happy birthday Ash. Enjoy your day with your family.
Big hugs for you Grandmajet I hope all goes well tomorrow and you are soon on the road to recovery.
Marydoll enjoy your day. I remember going to Butlins at Ayr as a child.
Lots of positive posts today which is lovely.
Have a good day everyone. Stay safe.

Elizabeth1 Wed 19-May-21 08:22:00

Good morning all from a fairly bright but cold morning here on the east coast of Fife. I’ve a busy day today food shopping at Lidl’s then on to my opticians. My DH Seems to be cranky this morning I’ll just have to tolerate it otherwise we’ll both be at hammer and tongs. Bat ball bat ball as my DS would say. I’m so looking forward to the family coming to stay over in a weeks time. We’ll still keep safe and dae as we’re telt, it’s crucial to keep the virus under control.

Have a good day everyone enjoy these moments of freedom. flowers

Gagagran Wed 19-May-21 08:20:55

Every good wish for tomorrow grandmajet and the recovery days which follow. So many kind and positive thoughts winging their way to you from all your GN chums. flowers

Good morning Mick, morning all from sunny South Lanarkshire.

Happy birthday Ashcombe, enjoy your day. Scentia your plans for the day sound just lovely, yours too Sar, my best wishes to your DD.

Grandmajet. You will be in my thoughts.

I’m meeting a friend for lunch indoors today although if the sun continues to shine we may very well take one of the outside tables. Sod’s Law.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

aggie Wed 19-May-21 08:16:56

Good Morning everyone, sunny but chilly here. When will we get some heat ?
Lots of thoughts for Grandmajet

Good morning from a lovely bright and sunny Bristol for now anyway but more rain forecast for later. Going to the shops with best friend today. I need her to help me choose my wedding outfit for July wedding. Coffee and cake before we head back home.

Gingster Wed 19-May-21 08:14:30

Good morning all and I hope it stays dry this morning as I’m dog walking with my old neighbour/friend. Yesterday turned out fine until a shower late afternoon. These forecasts are all over the place and are interfering with my social life. ?. Keep altering days and times which would have been ok. ?.

This evening I’m going to a local pub for a meal with my lovely girl, who I looked after when her mother died. She was 6 and her brothers were 8 and 11. I was with them for 10 years. The poor girl was due to marry last May and then October and then December. It never happened! She is now pregnant and getting married next week. ?. Such excitement!

Ashcombe have a lovely 70 +1. With your family.??. It’s my old school friends 70+1 today too and mine coming up in July. No celebrations last year so I’m hoping we can all get together this summer.

grandmajet all good wishes to you. I know we’ll all be thinking of you. ? ?

Sar enjoy your time with your family. I know you’ve been so looking forward to seeing them, especially with your DD having her Op. ?

Had a lovely walk yesterday in the bluebell woods. They were prolific and still looking fresh. I went with DH and little pooch. (Pic) ?

Have a lovely day Scentia. I think you are very brave taking your little GS to a posh restaurant for lunch. ?. Oh my goodness , Maccy D was the only place I used to take any of my GC. ?. Good luck and let us know how it goes. ?

Wishing you all a good day, whatever it brings ?
