Morning Mick and all

Mick enjoy your fish & chips, take care when out and about.

Sending good wishes to Grandmajet

Ashcombe enjoy your whirl of social activity.

We have The Imp today, it’s so windy and probably going to rain so no plans for the park.

Off out to dinner this evening we are trying a new Indian Restaurant down the road, no washing up for me tonight!!!

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning everyone from a wet and windy Inverness. I was woken up in the night with the bedroom window blowing shut, I couldn’t work out what the noise was for ages as I think I was dreaming at the time although I can’t remember it
Lots of happy news today and days out meeting family and friends despite the weather. I hope everyone has a lovely time - we’ve all waited long enough!
DH is away this weekend on the train to see his AC and DGC who all live in the Manchester area. I’m staying home, they’re all lovely people and we get on very well but DH and I agreed a while ago to let the other one have time alone with previous families. It works well for us and we still all meet up together on special occasions.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s chilly, dry for now but we had heavy rain last night.

We’re off out in half an hour to be at our daughter and son in law’s house to let them get off to work and then we will walk the children round the corner to school. Their lovely childminder has booked a day off to attend a family celebration. I shall pop back later to read about all your doings.

Where do you hail from Kim19? Perhaps you’ve told us but I’ve forgotten. Another here thinking of grandmajet. I thought of her last night as I was dropping off to sleep thinking at least she’s on the right side of it all. She’s been so upbeat hasn't she? It’s funny how we think of each other off line - just the same as our friends in real life.

Have a good Friday. You too gillybob if you ever read. Stay cautious everyone. x

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is blowing a hoolie and raining.
Well I have so many visitors today I hope they don’t all come at once.
DS called and asked if I want him to come visit and he will bring a subway lunch for us!! Haven’t seen him since Christmas❤️
DD and DGD are chilling here until clinic time as DGS is at playgroup and Daddy is taking charge of that side of things.
DSis is popping a chair over that she collected for me last week.
DH is off work and hanging about as the weather is stopping his cycle ride.

I think I will go to the factory for a few hours first to get some stuff done there then come back to a nice clean house as DH will be bored?
I do hope you are all managing whatever trials and tribulations you may have today, I will pray for ☀️ tomorrow.❤️

Good morning, everyone, from a dreary mid Staffs. Luckily the company isn’t at all lack lustre!

I enjoyed a pub lunch with one friend whom I’ve know since our children started school together in 1979. Then to spend the night with amateur musical theatre friends of many years standing when I lived nearby. We were joined for the evening by another who was also involved in the company. Much reminiscing and laughter!

This morning I have a coffee date with friends with whom I was involved in PTA work back in the day. Finally, lunch with a colleague who worked in the school where I taught before retiring. A hectic round of socialising!

I hope we all see sunnier skies soon, in every sense! ☀️??

Morning all from a very windy but dry, at present, south coast. The gales are set to blow themselves out by this evening but the day will continue very breezy, we are told.

Glad you had a nice meal out, grandMattie and appreciated not having to cook. I completely understand the feeling but there is no escape from that duty when you have a DH who can't cook, as I know only too well!

We managed to get onto the new NHS app yesterday but had to send a video in the confirmation of identity bit as the system didn't seem to like our photographs. So now, we have our vaccines confirmed on the app if we need to prove that we have had them. Unlikely, as we are not venturing out very far at all. I have decided I like being safe at home and DH only goes out on his bike and so far that has been free of any checks!

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

Ooh NanKate, Marlborough is one of my favourite towns, don’t forget to pop into Polly’s Tearoom for tea and cake, enjoy

Good morning all from a windy north Surrey.
Productive day yesterday and enjoyed my time with DGD2 who had missed a nap and fell asleep on her playmat, mum and dad were amused when they got home as she has never done this before.
Thoughts yesterday were with Grandmajet, I do hope all went well with her surgery. Also hope Cherry and Auntyflo had better day.
I have the school run this morning. Freddie has vet appointment and we hope/expect to get the all clear that he can be allowed off lead for a run. He is definitely back to his old self, wound all healed so we plan a good walk for him. Weather permitting we will then bath him (not easy with a reluctant 30kg dog). I will clean the bathroom after!
I have nursery collection for DGD1 and then home to put my glad rags on for a meal out, I may even wear a dress ?
Happy Friday all

God morning fromE Kent. When I got up a few minutes ago, it was sunny, but it’s now drizzling + a gale. This is the oddest May, more like March/November!
I hope your results were good, Mick, despite no blood tests.
DH took me out to dinner last night. It is our first outing since DS1 took us out for our wedding anniversary last October. The portions were enormous! I have a good appetite but couldn’t manage to finish my plate. It was so nice not to cook.
Bedding today. I certainly shan’t put it on the line unless I want it to end in Ramsgate or the Channel! ?
I have had an uneasy feeling that I’m doing something today but the diary is blank. I hope I’m not missing anything important.
May today bring peace to the sorrowful and anxious, relief to those in pain, contentment to all, and a smile ?, sunshine ☀️ and a flamboyance of flamingos ? into your lives.???❤️?

Morning Mick and All.

Wet and windy in West Berkshire where we have come for a few days break. ???? I’m not complaining as it is good to have a change of scene.

Off to Marlborough and hope that Seasalt has got some trousers I rather fancy.

Now where are my waterproof trousers and winter coat ?

Hello Michael and another hearty good morning to you. I sure hope you do make it to the chippy even if you manage little else. Enjoy! Also hearty good wishes to all who follow today. Hope each and every one of you find your own high spot and revel in it no matter how trivial it may seem to others. I look forward to dipping in and out all day and reading of your successes.
