First properly warm (and mostly sunny) day here yesterday. We’d already been out to an exhibition, but it was nice to sit in the garden later and be warm enough - even when the sun was gone from that part.
My friend in Stockholm is looking forward to some of the same soon! They’ve had atrocious weather, too.

We’ve eaten out twice in 2 days - what a change from the past umpteen months! 1st was a meet-up lunch with brother and SiL, 2nd was a pub lunch after the exhibition.
And there’s another booked for Saturday - talk about an unaccustomed whirl of activity, I’m just not used to it any more!

It's clouded over a bit this morning after the perfect day we had in south Devon yesterday. And so much milder, thank goodness.
I had a day out yesterday; drove to a village where some of my ancestors come from and looked for names on gravestones.
And I found the old cottage where my grandmother was born and lived with her 12 brothers and sisters.
Just staying in the garden today and finishing off the new fence. Dan is coming to cut the grass.

Well I’m going out for lunch today with my husband and son. Hubby been in hospital and my son has been very good helping. A little thank you and a big step back into the world!

It was sunny here yesterday we had a long awaited lunch with a good friend planned. We went to a very popular village a mile from where we live. With well established bars cafes and restaurants privately owned in an affluent area.
What a disappointment it wasn’t busy but we waited ages for the food which wasn’t worth waiting for. You would think after being closed for so long they would be eager to please customers.

Lovely day here. I'll be going out for lunch with a friend but the place we're going has no windows just a cupola. Seems a shame not to see what's going on outside. Will just have to indulge in my usual shameless eavesdropping.

It’s horrible in Melbourne. They haven’t sorted out the hotel isolation, they haven’t sorted out the tracing and they haven’t sorted out mass vaccination. Knee jerk reactions all round from the dopey state government.

Well it’s 10 degrees, dull and cloudy here, not one patch of blue sky, so I’ll believe it when i see it.

Hi Rufus!
I thought Oz was doing okay with severe incoming flight restrictions? Many on here are calling for Boris to do similar because of the Indian variant (or at least saying he should have imposed tougher restrictions earlier).
Seems not to work then?
Sorry you’ve got lockdown again.

Half your luck! grin
Here in Melbourne it's 4.00pm, 12C and we've just started another 7 day Covid hard Lockdown! sad
Enjoy your "out and about!" Thinking of you!

Agree.
It was so sunny here at 6am I’m up early. A walk this afternoon with a friend and on Sunday we’ve planned a beach day over at Lytham - donkey rides for the children, sand castles to make & fish and chips for all before setting off home. Old fashioned family fun!

Weather in most areas of the U.K.
will be no rain with broken sunshine and very bright conditions.
Not sure if I'll have enough time to get around all the boot sales and flea markets.
