Good morning Saturday from Mick

Good morning Mick and all from rather hot Lueneburg (hot for northeners). I love it but some of my friends are faltering. I shall go shopping now for strawberries, cream, cake and ice cream. I am having three friends round tomorrow afternoon. Yesterday I worked in the garden for several hours. I think, I could do with living in a flat now. I am really a very lazy person. The house in Britain has a small garden. Here I have too much garden. It`s too hot for my dachsi (she is 14 now). Brave girl Iris. I love all your talk about charity shops. Every time I was in Britain I went looking for bargains. Anyway, have a pleasant day all and may your troubles be small ones. I know, that sometimes life can not be so easy and things can get too much. So, hope that some flamingos cross our ways.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a nice sunny start here in Brackley this morning, usual trip out to Bicester and Buckingham today ,and have a lunch in Buckingham plus browse flea market .
Had successful blood test yesterday .
take care,
Mick

Good morning from Morecambe Bay where we have a clear blue sky. No doubt it will get hot again later. What gorgeous hair Iris has!
We are off to Wigan again for more work on the campa. He needs to do an adjustment which needs the ramp. It couldn’t be done yesterday as we had only booked for a look at the cracked tyres.
I will call at my favourite garden centre and get some plants for my pots. I wasn’t going to bother as there is no one to water them while we are are away but I have decided I’ll keep the pots in trays to hold water and hope they are ok!
Take care and stay safe everyone ???

Good morning all, thank you Maw, hope Mick is alright.
Brilliant sunshine here in S Hants, which is why I’m up so early, blackout blinds are in order. I popped out yesterday to buy a couple of tomato plants for a hanging basket, there was a sale, melon for the greenhouse, striped courgette and a couple of other plants just fell into my car! DD and the GC’s thoroughly enjoyed the motor museum yesterday, photo is Imogen under the wisteria arch.
Allotment today and I’m making moussaka for dinner, enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning from a grey, dull Essex by the sea. Hopefully it will brighten up later. We had torrential rain all day yesterday, I was looking for an Ark.
DH has decided to spend the day with me rather than disappear to his boat. Shoe shopping this morning and we are going out to dinner this evening, the first time since last year.
I hope Mick is ok and thanks to Maw for opening up this morning. Lovely picture of Iris GM.
Have the best Saturday and find a ? xx

I would Maw! x

What lovely positive posts to start the day! I know what you mean about “feeling alive” Ashcombe it can seem as if we have been in a 15 month period of suspended animation. And congratulations on navigating the eggshells Grandmattie you sound as if you are having a lovely time - days to treasure!
Looks like a nice day here in N Bucks but having woken at 5.30 and read the paper since then, I have yet to work out a plan for the day. Might have a snooze first though ????

Good morning from a bright NE.
Been awake since 5am, reading and waiting for Mick to wake up and start the thread.
Had a productive day yesterday, sorted and packed millions of Lego bricks into boxes for storage. GDs no longer interested.
Sister and BIL are coming this afternoon to plant lavender and geraniums in my patio pots, hopefully it will be warm enough to have a glass of something in the garden.
Enjoy what promises to be a pleasant weekend.

Good morning Maw (thank you for opening) and everyone on this beautiful Saturday morning. Himself is still snoozing so I had to make my own cuppa just now.

We have friends coming over at 2pm. We plan to sit outside one of the many bars along this road, have a couple of scoops and a catch up then back up here to eat. This domestic goddess has bought steak pie from Sainsbury’s (I will make my own butter mash - I’m not that incompetent) with Sainsbury’s blueberry cheese cake for dessert (I shall wash some strawberries to go with) and cream. This is the way to do it (shouted Punch).

Hope Saturday is good to us all. I will remember to put sunscreen on my forehead today - it’s only just calmed down since Lytham beach last weekend!

Iris has beautiful hair, grandMattie, bless her heart! ❤️

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s a sunny morning.

Thank you for opening up Maw. I was beginning to wonder where Mick was.

I’m off to see BeechNutella today and will take with me the garden kneeler I made for her. We are going out for lunch. The first time I’ve been out to eat since March 2020.

I hope you all have the best day you can and enjoy the sunshine ??

Thank you, MawBe; I was becoming concerned about Mick's absence! He’s so reliable in starting this daily thread to help us connect each morning.

Good morning and another beautiful sunny one in Torbay, as in most places, I think.

I hope all who travel have safe journeys and enjoy their time away, especially Dwmxwg (Happy birthday to your DH) on IoW and grandMattie in Bristol, who will have tales to relate from the shopping expedition, no doubt!

I hope the Council representative agreed with your claim, Gagagran, and that the blinds were fitted successfully, Marydoll, with your tomatoes and peppers surviving their ordeal. Thank you for your encouraging comments, Jaxjacky. Yesterday, I think I was still running on the adrenaline generated from the past few days so felt more alive than for some weeks!

It’s lovely when grandchildren enjoy our company; girlie outings across the generations, Susan56! You should definitely submit the photo of Rosie to Dyson, Mawbe! It’s priceless!

The dreaded Lidl shop beckons so I must start my day, I hope it’s a sunny one, wherever you are, especially Auntieflo Enjoy! ?☀️?

Thanks Maw.
Good morning from a sunny but cool Bristol.
Picture of our mascot! She willingly posed, but was puzzled as to why her face wasn’t being shown.
Lovely if absolutely exhausting day shopping with the girls. All fine. Eggshells holding up better than expected...
Going to Farleigh Castle today for a picnic lunch, baking in the afternoon for a cakes sale on Sunday. Iris is raising funds for Riding for the Disabled.
Have the best day today- penultimate of half term
