Good morning all. Grey skies in Polmont. My usual babysitting Tuesday. Fish man visit then the park. Yesterday we played indoors in the afternoon as it was so wet and miserable. Plus the boy wonder had decided to sit down in a large puddle in the morning and didn't have his rain suit on so that meant a complete change of clothing. Anyway we might make it into the garden in the afternoon if it's at all dry. Have a good day all.

Good morning from the Black country looks like we are about to have some rain again ☹. Hairdressers later then a meal booked for this evening.
Ashcombe have a safe trip home.

Good morning from a miserable Manchester. Looks like autumn outside. Got back from Scotland yesterday afternoon just in time to join ds2 for birthday drinks. Lovely to see gs's 2 and 3 who insisted I go back to their house to play. Can't resist an invitation like thatsmile Supermarket shop this morning, we are down to 2 broken biscuits and a dead mouse!grin. Lots of laundry to do but not a drying day. Hope you're feeling better today Marydoll Have the best day you can. Hugs for those with cares and worries and flowers for those not feeling too well.

Just lost my message ?.
Good morning Mick and all his followers. Glad the cycling is keeping you entertained.
It’s raining in Suffolk - no surprise there! We are hoping for drier weather in Norfolk for the next couple of days but the forecast isn’t great. Birdwatching in the rain isn’t that much fun! Still, it will be great to have someone else do the cooking and I won’t be able to see the weeds in our front garden!
I hope the day is kind to everyone. Any news from Grandmajet yet?

Good morning. It’s not looking very bright outside here in N. Bucks.
Didn’t get to the nursery to buy plants yesterday so maybe that’s a job for this afternoon.
DD3 is coming this morning with little Charlie.
Had a call yesterday from friends that we haven’t been able to see for about 3 years and arranged a visit for next month. Will look forward to that.
Hope you all find a ?today.

Thanks, Ash. I’m not disabled, just old, slow and fumbly. Having tripped on stairs at Paddington station some years back, thankfully with no more than hurt pride, because DH was rushing me, I’ve become rather cautious.
I try to use the lifts wherever possible, but still feel anxious. Just a worrying sort of person... ?

Good morning all from a blue skied, sunny S Hants, may get a shower later. I joined a book club a couple of weeks ago and was expecting a zoom meeting to discuss the book ‘at the end of the month’. Email last night, it’s this Thursday! So that’s me occupied for the next two days, like exam prep.
Gardener might come today to site and dig in the plants, yesterday was a wash out.
Have a good day all.

Morning Mick and all

Looking dry outside, will keep fingers crossed it stays that way as we have The Imp and plan to go to the Farm Shop, hopefully the cows will be in the pasture next door to it and he loves to watch them.

Spaghetti Bolognaise for dinner tonight.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Just a thought, grandMattie: it could be worth your while to ask for assistance at the stations where you have to change trains, which would relieve you of the worry of stairs, etc.

Good morning from a sunny E Kent - long may it last... yesterday, those few minutes were all we got!
Got on really well with my quilt. I am assembling it and hiding the seams with hand sewn strips of contrasting fabric.
It was nice to see my young friend again. We went to the local hotel for coffee, all large armchairs and genteel decor.
Tai Chi today. I’m leading as our normal leader is having terrible trouble with sciatica, poor thing.
Gardener is coming to trim the (horrible) box thingies by the fro gate, and cut off bits of shrub that I can’t do with secateurs, o make and aesthetic shape.
DD has invited us for the second weekend of half term. The trains are in an awful mess, where we would normally have changed mains stations in London, we now have to change about three times. We have plenty of time, but I get anxious about stairs and escalators with luggage and people rushing and pushing and getting exasperated with ancient country cousins.
Hope today is a god ‘in. May pain, sorrow, anxiety, and just plain cheesed-off-ness be banished and a flamboyance of flamingos ? replace them! ???☀️?

Good morning, all, from soggy Crewe! Pleased it's sunny in some places.

I hope the rain clears for my 230 mile journey back to Torquay! No plans to leave too early; I’ll wait for the M6/M5 interchange to be less busy - is it ever?!

Have a good day! ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. A lovely sunny morning with a lot of blue sky.

I’ve got some sheets in the washing machine already and will go swimming later. Then it will be just getting things done indoors ready for outdoor work.

My brother came by last night and he always gives me something to laugh about.

Take care all and hope your day is the best it can be ?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is a little grey.
Did you get to see Bernel’s excellent skills at the end of the stage though Mick he is amazing! DH subscribers to GCN plus do he doesn’t miss much in the world of cycling but I think the weather is just so bad over there it was very much cut short.
Today I am working all day and then I will rest this evening in readiness for my stay with DD as I am sure she has a list of jobs for me that DH is unwilling to do!! She does like to move stuff about a lot ?
I picked up a new dinner service last night just for daily use, I got it on Facebook Marketplace for just £15 I was so pleased with myself?
Have the best day possible folks.❤️

Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking grey at the moment but its dry this morning in Brackley.
Today , rest day as to cycling , watching yesterdays shortened stage in the Dolomites due to heavy rain , somewhat changed the amount of live broadcasting as they rely on an aircraft plus helicopter to beam signals , as it was very low cloud made impossible to see whole race .
Anyway, my usual trip to Bicester this morning for an hour to break things up , also with some bus routes not running there regular timetables gives limitations as to time .
Take care,
Mick
