Good Morning Thursday

Good Morning everyone from a grey Severnside. I can’t see the river this morning let alone over the other side.

First job this morning will be a little bit of cleaning and then I’m going to sew. I’m making a garden kneeler for BeechNuttella and I’d like to finish it before I next see her.

Marydoll, you and your bargains ? you have a knack for seeking them out for sure.

I hope you have a safe and uneventful trip west Mattie and everyone else has a good day ?

Ash, when DS1 was a competent reader, his books had “chaps”. Obvious, with Chap. 1, Chap. 2... ?

For details of Rev. Lyte.

Morning all from a dull south coast. No sunshine yet. It's still warm. 14.7c at 6AM on my weather station. The forecast is for it to be not as hot as yesterday but we'll see, They don't always get it right.

Hope your travels go well today Mattie. Don't be pressured to rush by anyone. I think you are very brave to be venturing out on a trip involving the tube. I found that difficult pre-covid so now it would be next to impossible for me.

I have a hair appointment at 9AM and hope I can manage their wash basin as I have a back strain from gardening yesterday. I planted up some ground-cover "Million bells" but had to stretch in an awkward position and knew there would be a price to pay today. Ouch!

Hope the day is a good one for us all.

Good morning, everyone, from a dull but warm Torbay. Welcome to Maw and welcome back to Cherry.

Like you grandMattie, I haven’t slept well, partly due to the heat but also my brain was in overdrive after a busy day. I wish you luck with your travelling. Would a taxi be a better option for you than the Tube? Safe journey and enjoy your break.

The wet weather yesterday brought more visitors to the museum, including families from various parts of the country. As we had another chap to be the smuggler, I played the part of the poet, Priscilla Shrives, throughout the day. It was a joy to interact with the children who were fascinated by my Victorian parlour and stories of my childhood on Berry Head. One dear little girl, aged six, proudly told me that she could now read books with chapters!

Priscilla was influenced by Rev. Henry Lyte, whose Sunday School she attended at his Vicarage where she delighted in the access to books afforded to her. Rev. Lyte composed “Abide With Me” and employed Mr. Shrives as a coachman. The poem was written when she was 11.

My last day at the Museum. Thank you for all the interest shown in this project and have a good day. ?

Good morning from north Surrey, another sunny day.
GrandMattie I hope your journey all goes smoothly.
Cherry good to hear your kitchen and wet room are completed, stay away from sharp knives!
Maw I completely empathise with the dog situation. I discovered a pan scourer chewed to pieces on the floor the other day and have been watching and waiting for any signs of repercussions if he has actually eaten some.
Successful trip to the garden centre yesterday, that will keep DH busy planting up pots ands tomato grobag. We enjoyed a cooler evening walk with the dog through meadows and part way along the Thames at Runnymede with a picnic stop overlooking a pond and buttercup field. Was hoping to perhaps see an owl hunting but probably a bit too early. Back home in time to watch SpringWatch.
Will potter and get a few jobs done this morning before my shift later.
Hope Auntyflo is feeling more comfortable today. Wishing all a good day with ??☀️

Good afternoon from a grey E Kent. I’ve been awake since 330 so fell half the day is already gone!
We’re off to Bristol in a couple of hours. It’s the first time we’ve left he house other than go to the supermarket since January 2020 so feeling a bit anxious, taking and changing trains etc. The Tube especially. Ah well.
Hope today will bring happiness to all GraMmingos ????☀️
