Good Morning Everyone,
Its bright but looks grey above but its dry .
Yesterday, I went to Bicester via Buckingham on the outward leg , but returned direct .
The traffic was horrendous, with long ques ,and maybe accidents as well .
Got home watch the Giro, then got a Chinese .
Anyway, final stage of Giro this afternoon with hopefully to Brits in top 10 overall .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning Mick and friends on another another bright, sunny morning in Torbay.

Regular readers might recall my involvement in helping an elderly amdram friend travel to hospital on Wednesday. I was due to collect her to go home on Thursday but she wasn’t well enough. On Friday her blood test results weren’t satisfactory. Yesterday, further tests were undertaken but, by the time the results were available, it was after 5.00 p.m. and her supervising doctor had gone home! Fingers crossed for today!

Every blessing today which is Trinity Sunday. ✝️ ⛪️

Good morning from a grey E Kent.
I agree, Mick, the traffic and crowds were dreadful yesterday. We went out early, but by the time we came home, it was crowded both on the roads and in the shops.
Spent the afternoon making a fruit cake and a salmon uni he. DH prefers his cold.
Fell asleep in front of TV again. It does annoy me, but if I haven’t managed an afternoon sleep, I’m useless after about 8 p.m.
I hope our GraMmingos manage. Good day, being bank holiday weekend and all that. Trust you find at least one flamingo ? in your day. ?☀️?

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where we already have sunshine, it’s warm and I can see the Pennines - always a good sign. I went to bed early, woke early and couldn’t get back to sleep. We are driving over to Lytham sands this morning and I was mulling over what to wear!
?

Himself is sensibly still snoozing. I think we plan to shoot off about 9:30am. Sunscreen, sunglasses, flip flops and a cardigan at the ready!

Hope Sunday is good to us all. Have fun but Stay cautious. x

Good morning from Welwyn, Herts where we're set for another lovely day, so nice to see and feel the sunshine.
Am up early to get the washing machine going and out on the washing line early, haven't started it yet though!
Had a hectic day yesterday, I had planned to finish the windows inside with nets on, wash the curtains and the windows.
Meanwhile DH is asking me if we should rearrange our sitting room, so the dining area is facing the front and seating area to the back overlooking the garden. We had wanted to do it before but thought it's a bit too much work. So we decided to get on with it and by evening all was sorted, clean windows and nets back up with DH' s help. But it was a lot of work, although satisfying, so am not moaning about feeling a bit achy today!
I hope you all have a restful, pleasant Sunday and bank holiday Monday tomorrow.

Enjoy Lytham Urmstongran??

Hoping that Mary,Cherry and Auntieflo have all had restful nights and are feeling better.Also thinking of Grandmajet and hoping her recovery is going well.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a good day everyone???

Good morning all from a sunny S Hants. We never venture far on BH weekends because of traffic, shame for you Mick and GM. You’re very kind Ash hope she comes out today and Urms enjoy your seaside trip.
We had friends for curry yesterday afternoon, it had clouded over but we sat outside, four hours whizzed past, it was wonderful. Today we’re up the allotment, Mr J will assemble the brassica cage, stops the pesky cabbage whites and pigeons from munching, bit of watering then retreat home.
Enjoy your Sunday all. ??

Morning all from a misty but promising North Leicestershire.

Off early to watch DGS4 play football. The upside we will see DD3, her partner, DGD3 and Wondrous Wolfie. The down side is that DD3's ex will be there.

Enjoy your days everyone and wear sunscreen!

Good morning from an overcast Colchester. This will burn off as were promised another sunny day.
We spent yesterday afternoon in the garden of my youngest sis. My other sis and bil spent the night at a nearby hotel and are coming here for breakfast. I'd better shake a leg.
Roast lamb tonight.

A big Sunday hug for all x

Morning all from a sunny, bright south coast. 10.7c at present but set to get warmer. Lovely!

Had an interesting day yesterday with DH going out with his bike club again and meeting up en route with DS who was on his third training ride on the South Downs Way. They had coffee together, plus the rest of the bike club riders, who were very interested to hear of DS's epic ride, coming up at the end of June.

Meanwhile a letter arrived from the hospital from DH's surgeon advising that he will have a scan etc. in July to confirm the cancer has not returned. The third op he needs is with a different specialist and they are liaising on that.

DS turned up for a shower (and quite a lot of food) later and it was so good to have him here again and enjoy spending time together. He is coming here again for the final quarter of his route's training ride next Saturday. Meanwhile DD was volunteering at the vaccination clinic again.

I fell asleep in bed, sitting up reading my book. Woke with a stiff neck about 3am and only dozed after that so I suspect a nap might be in store later!

Hope the day is a good one for us all and that the sun shine on Lytham sands Urms. I have family there and have visited many times over the years. It's a very nice place. sunshine

Good morning everyone from our little cabin in the woods just outside Aviemore. Beautiful blue sky already and I can hear the birds singing. We had a lovely day walking yesterday but today we’re heading home so DH can do some shifting and moving of stuff in the garden that I’ve not been able to do.
Lots of fantastic days out, family meet ups and get togethers. It’s so much better than before but take care everyone when out and about if the roads are really busy
I hope you have a lovely time with the family in Lytham Urms I’m sure you will. Being on the sand might even remind you of being back in Malaga!
Hope your friend gets home today Ash
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a sunny NE.
It was a pleasant day yesterday, plenty of sunshine so I washed all the doors and window frames. I then washed the glazed pots on the patio ready for the arrival of new plants.
I thought I would sleep soundly but I ended up reading my novel. I was surprised to see thick fog at 3am, must have rolled in with the tide.
Enjoy the better weather.

Good Morning everyone from sunny Severnside.

Don’t forget your hat Urms.

That’s a good idea maydonoz. Sometimes I wish I had room for a permanent chair in the dining room which is on the back of the house.

I washed my summer handbag yesterday and on getting it out of the washing machine I found I hadn’t emptied all the pockets and my glasses, tin of mints and a pen all had a wash too.

I managed to get my all my masonry painting done yesterday. It’s supposed to have two coats so I might do the second today although I do ache a lot ?

Have a good day all and enjoy the sunshine and whatever you get up to ☀️??

Morning Mick, morning All from a bright, sunny corner of Somerset.

Finished the garden makeover yesterday, rather Mr C did most of it as I felt what I can only describe as peculiar when I bent forward. Whatever it was passed and we’re both pleased with our easier to manage garden. We’re off to check out parking for Mr C’s hospital appointment next Sunday. I’m not sure why it was ever thought a good idea to site a hospital in a busy city centre and not provide accessible parking. After that a harbour side walk and lunch in the sun.

It’s good to read of people relaxing seeing family and friends again. Look after yourselves everyone. Especially those with health challenges to manage. Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

NanKate Sun 30-May-21 07:28:05

Good morning Mick and All.

Warm day in prospect in South Bucks.

It is a joy to have our DS and 2 DGSs staying with us for the first time since last year. The house is a mess, food is being depleted, there is noise and laughter and chaos, but I am so grateful to be back together, not everyone is so lucky. They leave after lunch today and I will collapse with my feet up. ?

Kim19 Sun 30-May-21 07:34:05

Morning all! Eerie but beautiful mist with promising sunshine greets me as I peep through the curtains here up north. Enjoy your day Urm. I'll have fleeting happy thoughts of you. Mayd, bravo on the rearrangement of your room. I'm sure the result is well worth the effort and wish you many years of reaping the benefits. I'm hoping to achieve some success in the garden if the soil has dried out a bit and is more workable. Whatever all of you get up to, I hope you get some sunshine into your lives, real or imagined. I'm certainly excited at the prospect.

Greyduster Sun 30-May-21 07:35:35

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s a misty grey start in South Yorkshire and an early one for us. DS came yesterday and we had a lovely catch up. He brought Christmas presents we weren’t able to have at Christmas for covid reasons. It felt odd opening them at Whitsuntide! Dinner in the garden. We are shepherding him to his course this morning as he doesn’t know his way round the city, and then we will go on from there and watch GS play football.
Have a good day folks.

ginny Sun 30-May-21 07:41:00

Good morning everyone.
A bit dull at the moment but sunshine expected later in N. Bucks.
Some food preparation required today ready for family lunch tomorrow.
We have friends coming this afternoon for tea and chat.
Hope you all find a ?today.

ginny Sun 30-May-21 07:43:22

Think I better start using the word smile or flamingo instead of an emoji that for some unknown reason keeps changing to a grimace !

ginny Sun 30-May-21 07:43:55

Oh! now it’s back to a smile.?

Alygran Sun 30-May-21 07:59:42

Good morning from the Peak District. It’s sunny here at DD2’s.
I drove down yesterday. It was busy but much less that the northbound side where there were queues for several miles in places.
A relaxing day in the garden then off to DD1’s for a bbq this evening.
A special hello this morning for those on their own today who aren’t able to meet up with family or friends. Bank holidays can be lonely.
Take care everyone and have a good day.

B9exchange Sun 30-May-21 08:22:13

Good morning everyone from SW Herts. Really overcast here but hoping the sun will come and burn it off, we need to get the bedding plants in today.

Hope you are feeling better Cornergran, dizzy spells are horrible. Hope you get your friend home today Ash.

Today we will be able to go into the cafe after the service, sit down and have a chat, first time for many months. But still have to wear a mask in the vast, socially spaced cathedral, which I hate, and still banned from singing, though the odd subtle hum might creep out!

GrannySomerset Sun 30-May-21 08:27:44

Great to see DS and family yesterday though DH rather thrown by the unaccustomed vigour of it all. DD and family arrive later today and we are all together for lunch on Monday, after which I shall need to lie down in a darkened room. Won’t happen, though

Hope all those meeting family this weekend have a happy time and that the unwell and worried get some pleasure from the promised lovely weather.

BlueSapphire Sun 30-May-21 08:27:57

Good morning everyone from a grey Northampton, but sun is promised later, as happened yesterday. It turned out bright, sunny and warm, so I was able to get the back grass cut, in between sessions of reading while waiting for the mower battery to charge. I now need to cut the front grass, so that is a job for tomorrow, as well as finish the weeding.

After all that exertion I was glad to come inside and watch rugby for a couple of hours, and was elated when my team won! It was the first match with spectators, and the atmosphere looked brilliant. I shall be there next Sunday to watch the last home game of the season, can't wait!

A lazy morning, then this afternoon I am invited to DS's for a barbecue, the first time I will have been there since Christmas 2019! So looking forward to seeing the DGDs and catching up on all their news. DD and her husband are away camping in North Devon.

Hope the ? shines for all of us today.
