Welcome from me too Maggs, where are you posting from and what is your weather like?
Be prepared for Urmstongran to ask you the value of your house, she is joking! . Just tells her millions of pounds, and she will be quite happy. it doesn't need to be true. 
GG, I read it this afternoon, it was really funny! Dollie will love it!
I am saving it for a surprise, along with all the other surprises, I have stashed away during this Long Covid!!! 
Afternoon All. I haven't read the Good Morning post before. Glad I did. Much nicer. I have spent the morning cutting my front garden hedge, first time I've ever done it all on my own. Now I'm knackered, can even more my arms. LOL 
It should keep me healthy I suppose all this new exercise. I love the sunshine but prefer to admire it from in the shade. Hope everyone is well.

Good morning all from a sunny at the moment Portugal. I say that because yesterday was a completely grey day with a surprisingly chilly wind and according to the forecast today is supposed to be the same.
How nice to see LauraNorder back yesterday and even see my name mentioned. I’m very remiss about mentioning other people, frequently because by the time I post I’ve forgotten who said what, and I tend to think I’m invisible sometimes but I tell myself we all have spells of that.
Good to see that Ashcombe will compliment a complete stranger on their outfit. I’ve done that myself especially if they are dithering in a changing room or with their partners whether to buy something or not. I wonder afterwards if I should have done but sometimes you need to hear an unbiased opinion, I miss a friend in England who would do the same for me.
I’m late posting but will have another coffee and try to catch up with you all.
Good morning from clouding over West Sussex.
Lots of news to read through today. Everyone seems to be very busy. I strained my lower back last week moving bags of home-made compost at the allotment. It is still stiff and sore and very frustrating as I can only move very slowly so I am feeling very ‘poor me’ today. Lots of little parsley seedlings need planting out which will be ‘kill or cure’
It’s lovely to hear from Laura again. Also good to hear that Cherry has a kitchen again - hope no more fingers/thumbs are lost in it! Great to hear of Iris’s progress. Holly maybe you feel the weather should match your mood (the phrase ‘the pathetic fallacy’ just surfaced in my mind from school Shakespeare). I hope some sun and gentle breezes will shift any clouds today.
Thoughts for Grandmajet,Auntieflo and others having a difficult time.
Good Morning All x.
Another fine day---aren't we doing well ? Washing on the go and I'll do my big living room curtains today then they'll do for another year.
Did my big Asda shop yesterday so that'll keep me going for a couple of weeks, cats and all. I'll only need bread and milk throughout. I got a pack of lovely pre-cooked roast beef for beef and onion sandwiches today and a pot of clotted cream for Devon scones---to pretend I was on my holidays as that was a favourite treat at mid-day.
A possible trip to market gardens today with my neighbour as she was hard at it yesterday forming a patch ready for planting so we'll have a good mooch around.
Neighbour would have just been home from Oz if she'd gone this year as she'd booked a year ago, but-------anyway, looking ahead and if I'm "spared" we'll arrange to fly together in a couple of years as she has a niece in Sydney and I have D.
Iris has done so well and it's heartening to hear how she's progressed, well done herself. Another lovely quilt GM what a clever person. You've made some beauties.
That lilac is gorgeous BlueSapphire, always reminds me of being at my mum's. I can even imagine the smell of it, so lovely. I aim to look for a couple of scented shrubs because on days like this the heat brings out the delicious smells. Nature is so clever.
As usual, I'm all behind with this post, darting hither and thither, eating my crumpets etc. so I'll get showered and return to read the doings/ goings-on of others.
Hope everyone's well and enjoying the weather. Thoughts to those who aren't enjoying life so much at the moment. xx
