Good morning all from a very wet (as promised) north Surrey.
Lovely pictures Ash
Had a lovely few hours with DGD1 yesterday, she is 9 months now, crawling and pulling herself up. I had lots of smiles and cuddles and she snuggles into your neck when she is tired, wonderful. I have been reflecting on how lucky I am to have such a close relationship with all my grandchildren.
Thank you for all your best wishes for our wedding anniversary yesterday. We will have a “special” meal today to celebrate. We are shopping after school run. I saw some furniture the other day so want DH to have a look. Have some exchanges to do of trousers I bought (so annoying that you can’t try things on still). A visit to the big M&S food store to get provisions for our dinner and then pop to mum and dad with present and card for Father’s Day as I am working all weekend. Will take my cleaner with me.
Big football match this evening, not sure I will make it to the end as need to be up early for work.
Wishing all a happy Friday ????

Morning Mick and all from a dull West Yorks.
Yes Mick I feel your body is telling you to take a slower pace.Does your GP ask you to keep reference of these occasions for insight into treatment/cause.
Do wish I could train myself into a good sleep pattern,all over the place just now.Suffering with sciatica for past weeks and the meds knock me out early evening so awake at 5 a.m.Nothing much exciting today only weekly trip to supermarket which in itself is an outing after a year of click/collect.Any views on email from Gov. regarding data supplied to supermarkets to gain priority during Covid.Havent read it thoroughly yet but worries me after reading GPs share info,Gov depts share info,Banks,insurance, etc etc. Feel as though my private life is no longer .
Dentist went well yest. with nothing to do after a good 18mths. My extra thorough routine during covid working well.Noted he doesnt want to see us for 12mths.Is this due to expected workload now service has resumed.Remember did this a few yrs ago when service overstretched .

Good morning Mick and all from a very wet S Hants. It’s chucking it down, woke us at 5 and is set in for the day, of course it is, new furniture being delivered this morning! I’m off to the butcher first, burgers and chicken skewers ordered for family bbq tomorrow., grocery delivery after lunch, it’s all go today. Then, a rather important football match this evening, MrJ will watch it in our local, I’ll head home and watch it in peace.
That’s a lovely view Ashcombe I can understand your lunch temptation too, I’d have succumbed.
Have a lovely Friday all, maybe news from absent Gramingoes today. ??
?????????????? May the best team win…….

Good Morning all from Severnside where it’s overcast. Do you feel anxious going out Mick?

What a lovely lunch view Ash. Mine was Doctors on tv, quite different ?

Off to do my weekly shop and hope I remember cooking apples so I can make SOAP.

After yesterday’s crafting day with my new papers and dies I think I’ll have another. It’s time consuming choosing the paper or card you want to use but nice to come across something I’ve forgotten I had.

Go for GB Sewing Bee Scentia. Even thinking about that for myself my confidence is a no no let alone applying.

Have a good day all ?

Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Black country. Weather muggy again but yesterday turned out really sunny so perhaps the same again today.
Ash lovely photos once again and that meal sounds delicious.
Meeting friends later.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is looking like a good day ahead.
I am off to Whitby this morning for three days and DH has revealed that we are actually staying in some new places rather than staying in Whitby for the three days.
Saltburn on Sea and Staithes. They both look beautiful and I am excited to go.
I do hope you all find a smile today and see that Friday Girl on your travels??

Ooh I like Kate Atkinson but haven’t read that one gM, let us know if it’s good.

Good morning Mick and all who follow from sunny Sefton.
Noticed kite flying on the beach yesterday morning. Pic of the massive octopus and one of the three arrows taken on my phone will be posted shortly. Spent the afternoon with friends, one to become a first time gran after Christmas.
Today gardening and general pottering on the agenda. Later an order from our local Indian take away will be enjoyed while watching the game with family.
Thinking of missing posters, Cherry, Auntieflo and Blossoming (may time fly to tomorrow evening for you).
Sending a smile and the sighting of a flamingo.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where we have a beautiful clear blue sky.

Gorgeous photos Ash, I love watching the bees going about their busyness.

Friday again! Where does the week go. Swanky charity shop day today for me.

DH has an early appointment to collect a new hearing aid, I cannot wait. Several years ago he paid a lot of money for a pair of aids which he never got on with but instead of persevering with them he threw them into a drawer in disgust. My repeated suggestions that he may have to go back to have them tweaked fell on deaf ears. Literally. Such a waste of money, let’s hope the NHS one is more successful.

Wishing everyone the best day possible. ??

Good morning from a grey, cool (yay!) E Kent. There is a light mist at the moment and it is unusually very still.
The garden has so enjoyed its drenching - so have the weeds, there is now a small forest of bindweed!
Bedding to wash today. DS1 is off to Deal to lunch with one of his school friends, DS2 is off work and lunching with us. He will probably bring some of the last cutting of asparagus. The season runs from St. George’s day to Midsummer day.
Marydoll, I have not only a spare bed/room but the Open starts soon for your DH to leave you alone..
I had to borrow this book fro the library yesterday!
May today bring relief and contentment to all my lovely GraMmingos. ???☀️??

Good morning, Mick (Perhaps a chat with your GP is needed?) from an overcast but warm Torbay.

Yesterday, after a dull then wet start, we had some beautiful sunshine which only appeared as I walked over the Downs. Planning on calling into my favourite hostelry for just a tonic water, I was tempted into having lunch there! The special was a freshly caught Brixham filet of plaice cooked in lemon juice. Superb! One photo is the view from my table there, with the other (of a busy bee) being from the holiday home site.

Wishing everyone sunshine of some kind today along with my gratitude for your caring support yesterday over my disappointment. ?
