Good Morning Thursday

Good morning everyone from the Scottish Borders. Cool but refreshing here. Making a list of cleaning jobs to be done in the house. Think that will be an incentive. Going to bake too. I do enjoy hearing others' plans and events. Just unpacked new cordless iron. Somewhat surprised to read in the instructions "the temperature of your iron is safe to use on all ironable fabrics"..It only has one temperature. There is no temperature dial. I know I am a Luddite but has everyone else one of these? Do they work? Only one way to find out. Have a good and safe day.

Good Morning All x.
Dull and heavy and a bit rainy----well it would be since I did some watering yesterday then the heavens opened I was in and out filling containers so I must have done my 10,000 steps !

I'm expecting a call today after 3pm from a GP with a view to getting a prescription to cure the swollen feet. They're not so bad at present but as the day goes on they obviously swell up.
They've always had a tendency to do this during summer months so it's nothing new, even going back to the 70's.
( crumpets going straight to my feet ) I retain water.

I don't quite know what I'll be up to today. Ironing can wait for now it's mainly towels and tea towels so there's no hurry.
Pork chop and some little chats and cabbage later which won't take long to do.

There's a terrible surge of violence here in the nearby prom area, it's like the Wild West, disgusting and unnerving. All you hear on a daily basis are police/ ambulance sirens. Where are these monsters coming from ? A once decent area has now become a crime hotspot. Police need to step-up their game and rid the place of these subhumans---like to a Borstal !
A bad attack took place yesterday by a gang with " metal " bats, so there's more than one reason for not wanting to leave the house. It's shameful. ( moaning Minnie this morning )

It sounds to have been an interesting project Ashcombe and thoroughly enjoyed by all including yourself. Well done.

Go easy on your travels GM and you'll be fine.
Lovely pic of my past travels NannyJan. A lovely area.

Enjoy the continuing sun wherever you may be and take care of yourselves. I'll carry on reading posts and probably have another laugh at Marydoll's novellas---brilliant. What a spirit that woman's got !

Stay safe everyone and thoughts to our poorly and absent friends xx

"My" donkey is called Zena Susan56 . I talk to dogs I pass in the street ! A couple of summers ago DH and I were passing a cafe and I started chatting to the owners ( and dogs ) sitting outside. DH told them ( owners ) he was my carer ! I moved on quickly.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest Lancashire coast. You will feel more comfortable today Mick, I don’t think we had time to acclimatise ourselves to the heat, it happened all at once.
Bit of paperwork, sister’s birthday card and I really need a pedicure if my feet are going to be exposed.
Taking some washing in from the back garden, a fox stood in the middle of the lawn, unbothered and just gazed back at me.
I really should food shop, but I’m trying to use up what I have in the freezer etc, rather than just piling more in.
Thoughts to the usual suspects Cherry harrigran Auntieflo Marydoll grandmajet grandMattie and anyone with troubles.

I realise my post gave the false impression that the live exhibit project was over - I’m on the bus to Brixham now for the final day.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. We had an hour of rain last night which has freshened the air here. We have a day to ourselves! No calls on our time. Especially welcome after our drive over to Bradford yesterday. Stepfather is off at noon round the corner from his to watch a bowls match (he does incredibly well at almost 90y doesn’t he?) and our little family are on their way to Chester Zoo for the day.

We think we might bob over to the Trafford Centre. I need to exchange two swimsuits for a larger size.
?
And I will have a small mooch ...

Enjoy today everyone. My friend lives in Bristol granMattie and since she moved I’ve really missed her. We plan a trip down there later in the year, hopefully. x

Good Morning all from cloudy (but dry) Harrogate
I slept like the dea last night after an exhausting day with my DGS. I love that saying Marydoll like a 'box of frogs' because it describes him to a tee. I was at a children's farm with DD, DGD, DH and DGS, I did suggest I put a harness on DGS - not necessary replied the adults. DGS wait until it was just hm and I, then he shot off into the wooded area with me in hot pursuit. He wanted to climb beanstalks (trees) because he is Jack. DH eventually came to find us and assumed we were following him, right? Wrong? DGS was having a whale of a time with me trying to keep up with him and failing miserably. He eventually found a shed where he could throw beans (stones) out of the window. When we eventually caught up with the others, we decided it was lunch time (oh boy!! did I need a seat!)
DD decided we should go back to her home after ice cream. Which we did and had a welcome cuppa while the children played together. When we got home, we discovered DGS had been playing in DGD's mud kitchen, there was no alternative but to stick him in the bath! DD2 arrived to pick him up and he just wasn't ready, and I was shattered!!
Cherry that sounds a dreadful struggle with your hands
Hope your struggles are few and the sun will shine.

Good morning just
Using iPhone today as laptop is being diagnosed. Don’t find it as easy to do GN posts on mobile

Cornish Weather: cloudy but some blue sky. Breakfast was still outside
Didn’t get chance to read all of Wednesday’s posts and still gave today’s.

Good start to the day. Email to say say 3 £25 wins on premium bonds.

Knee a little easier last night. Mya is coping well with a slow walk. I’m so tired and good stomps are not on the cards at the moment

Take care everyone
