Good morning from a grey looking Kent where I am sitting in bed at DD2's house waiting for signs of life. It was so lovely to see them all yesterday and I have read so many books to my 3 year old granddaughter.
My daughter and I are going to Bluewater shopping today and will hopefully have lunch whilst we are out.
I had some sad news on the way here yesterday. My uncle in Australia, in his 80's, was rushed to hospital on Monday evening with incredibly high blood pressure. He is having an Angiogram today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome.
Have a pleasant Thursday everyone and find a ? xx

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it looks like a sunny day could skip us today, I am still in my shorts nonetheless!!
My date with DGS was one of the best days I have had in a long time. He could still remember how to swim, bonus?. We went for lunch and he was the star of the restaurant, what an angel, he ate all theee crab cakes and his triple cooked chips, the vegetables however did not go down too well!! He had cheesecake for dessert and to top it all he had a wine glass with his water in. I felt he was so grown up for a two year old❤️
I took the bull by the horns last night and was first out on the close with my bin last night, I then spent the whole evening ‘worried’ I had put the wrong one out and the whole close would copy me!! We will see later today?
Off to work shortly and then this evening I will clear the wardrobes in the spare bedrooms.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning, everyone from a rather dreary Crewe after a fine day yesterday.

Thank you to all of you who posted such kind birthday greetings yesterday. I had the best of days, starting with a Zoom call with olddudders then a four mile walk with DD2 around the lake at Trentham Gardens in the sunshine. Yes, Marydoll, my DD2’s school allows each member of staff a day and a half off each year to be used for any purpose. An enlightened approach.

Later we were joined at home by my SIL's children, aged 17 and 18 plus DS with DGS3 for a barbecue, for which it remained fine. The evening was rounded off by DGS3, aged 5, giving a brilliant reading of the story of “The Wonky Donkey”, which had us all in stitches!

For the next couple of days, I’ll be catching up with friends from my younger days around mid Staffs., including the Haywoods, where I lived for nearly 40 years.

With thoughts and prayers for all who are suffering, especially grandmajet.

Good morning from a grey Morecambe Bay. After a busy couple of days I’m going to use today to sort out all those bits of jobs which I’ve been putting off. My mountain of batteries to the tip or as it is called these days the recycling centre, and bags of clothes to the charity shop. After last night’s Sewing Bee I did wonder about rescuing the denim jeans and doing something with them but then I thought better of that idea. I’m supposed to be getting rid of stuff.
Thinking of all with pain, worries and poorly family members.
Take care everyone and stay safe.???

Good morning from a bright E Kent , at last. Cirrus clouds, so perhaps relief from grey...
My old friend in the nursing home was put into solitary for a week on Tuesday night, as were all the other residents. “Someone” had tested positive! Rebooked for next week.
Market today. Might get some more asparagus. My fave, and as it’s grown locally, won’t have travelled more than about 5 miles! Some flowers too.
Hope operations go well, pain is relieved as is anxiety, birthdays celebrated with hugs and family and a flamboyance of flamingos ? ???explodes into your lives. ?
