Actually the outfit is a sort of lavender sprinkled with tiny stars… ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good Morning Saturday
(65 Posts)Good Morning Everyone,
Its cloudy but dry here in Brackley at the moment.
My plans for today are slightly different , will get the bus to Bicester direct ,and have 2 hours there , as I will be returning to try and watch the Tour De France first stage in full on Eurosport , although on ITV 4 as well , its the commentary team and presentation which differs .
Before that the women's la course over the same route as the men's stage, today only next year there will be a full blown women's race of the Tour De France , last held in the 80`s .
Take Care,
Mick
Morning Mick, morning All. Cloud over our corner of Somerset is fairly light. Getting brighter.
Yesterday’s museum visit was both relaxed and enjoyable. Afternoon catchup took far longer than anticipated, tedious stuff. Today we’re off to a garden party to celebrate our Littlest reaching the grand old age of six. The forecast weather looks shall we say variable, keep your fingers crossed for us.
It’s grim just waiting when there is little you can do to help kitty. Hope the birthday gift is found easily. Iris will soon have a full wardrobe grandmattie. And breathe marydoll, looking forward to reading about your adventures.
Hope Saturday is kind to us all, take care everyone.
Good morning from sun and 12deg S Hants.
What a worry kitty and frustrating, I hope someone finds the cause.
Marydoll I’m reading a Rebus now, so awaiting your novelle eagerly!
harrigran better news with MrH ?
I spent a lot of yesterday with DD who was poorly and didn’t want to be on her own, hard being a single Mum, picked up the GC’s from school and we had ice creams on the way home.
Allotment this early afternoon, then football, good luck Wales ???????.
Enjoy your day all.
Good Morning , the sun broke the cloud cover for a few minutes , but it’s back to overcast now
Marydoll I hope primary survives your visit ?
It’s 18 months since I was last in Edinburgh, I have 3 chicks spread around there
Good morning from a fairly bright-skyed Essex. I’ve just been looking at pics of the damage done by a ‘tornado’ which hit in East London last evening. It’s not that far from here. We had a few downpours but no tornado! ?
I had a lovely afternoon with an old pal yesterday. We had lunch in a pub and chatted. Arrived at 12,30 and left at 5.00.
No one rushed us and we caught up with each other’s news. So nice!
Not much on for the weekend. The roads are so busy around here, we tend not to go out at weekends. We would just be sat in a traffic jam. With more and more houses being built it can only get worse. ?. We will walk the dog and probably have a visit from one or other of the family.
On my way back from lunch yesterday, I met my twin gs’s (15) with their friends on the way to the gym. We high-fived and smiled as we passed by. ??. Nannas can be a bit embarrassing when you’re 15 and with friends. ?
Looking forward to hearing about Marydolls exploits, and frustrations with her DH. I always feel better after reading her news, as I too have a very frustrating DH. ?.
Lovely outfit GrandMattie ?
Enjoy your lunch Ash. That restaurant looks the ‘bees knees’. ?.
Kittylester wishing your DB better.
I hope you all have a lovely day, whatever you’re doing. ??????♀️??♀️????♀️⛷???
Thank you for the good wishes.
I suspect dragonfly has our sun now as it looks like rain in my bit of Leicestershire.
Good morning from sunny Colchester.
I have a pile of laundry but no washing line as the new patio isn't finished. It's great drying weather today....grrr.
We moved in March and are in the town centre next to the park. This is the first weekend when a big festival is being held. Hopefully the only disturbance will be music.
We are going to a nearby vineyard for a barbeque this evening and the forecast looks ideal.
Love to all x
Good morning from Shropshire where the rain has hopefully stopped??
No plans today apart from laundry and lawns.
FIL remains in hospital.
Hope they can find the cause of your brothers infection soon kitty.
Have a good day all??
Good morning from a sunny Essex by the sea.
We are going to buy some material for me to make curtains for the boat, deep joy !!!!!!
I've recently made curtains for a friend's boat and I said never again but I can't really say no to DH.
Hopefully coffee and cake will be on the menu later.
Have a lovely Saturday and may all your flamingoes come home to roost xx
Good morning from an overcast S Welsh coast.
Not much planned for the weekend here either, we'll avoid the town as it gets packed on summer weekends.
Hope your brother improves soon kitty and good luck with your present search.
Enjoy your day Mary and everyone else too. Hoping your fil is better too Susan.
Homemade spag bol for supper.
Good morning Mick and all.
Warm but middling grey start to the day. DD and DGD arrive late this afternoon. She’d hoped for an early start but very tired from two bad night’s sleep and long work days. I do hope the M6 and M5 are not too jam packed for her.
Mya at the vets having her nails ? done. Then a quick last minute shop.
Wishing they could find the cause of the infection kitty.
Safe journeys and happy doings everyone. Hope any weekend worries will be soon resolved. ??????
Good morning Mick, morning all from cool and cloudy South Lanarkshire.
Enjoy your day watching the cycling Mick.
Such a pretty outfit gM, I’m sure Iris will love it.
Sorry to hear that your brother still isn’t doing very well Kitty.
Maw you’ve reminded me that when my son hiked the Appalachian Trail a few years ago he was nicknamed The Flying Scotsman by others he met along the way.
It was a busy busy day in the charity shop yesterday between cleaning bric a brac to go on the shelves, serving customers and taking in donations. I was glued to the sofa for the evening afterwards.
This morning I’m heading to M&S to pick up a few bits and bobs then I think I’ll bake a couple of tea loaves, they never seem to last long in this house.
Wishing everyone a peaceful day.
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Morning all. Dry here in Cheshire but not very warm. Doesn't feel like June ! Actually it does - we get these temperatures quite often in June.
Sad outing Dwmxwg but a picnic afterwards sounds a lovely idea.
Not much happening today but a "busy" week next week with afternoon visits ( possibley in garden but only if warm ) from friends on two days.
Have a good day if you can everyone.
How did I manage to spell "possibly" wrongly ? Shame you can't fix mistakes before the whole world sees them !
Good morning from a very dull Black Country, where it absolutely tipped it down last night. Even put the heating on!
Off to DD's this afternoon as I am looking after the girls tonight whilst parents go out for a meal, their first on their own in a very long time. I will take the girls to the local pub for a meal at 5pm. Then I will stay overnight! Not done that since early last year.
So sorry to hear that your brother is not improving kittyI hope they find the source of the infection soon.
Pittcity I lived near Colchester for a year in 1976. Not been back since, so I imagine it has changed a lot.
Enjoy your break away Marydoll
Good morning Mick and all from a dry and brighter Anglesey. Everything is looking very green and lush after the rain.
Grocery delivery today and perhaps some hoeing of the borders.
Your poor brother Kitty, such a worry. Hope for some answers soon.
Everyone seems very busy, lovely to be out and about with friends and family or simply having a change of scenery.
Have a good day everyone, remember to stay cautious but keep smiling behind that mask. ?
Good Morning everyone from hot and sunny ??.
We’re blessed with many butterflies today - including Swallowtails,, that I love. Buddleia is helping to attract them, especially a lovely orange one which has grown too tall for good photos. I must cut it right down for next year, so we can reap the benefits. I’m thrilled when ? land on me - other big insects, no thank you!
We may have moules for lunch. Depends whether my darling man decides decides to scooter back into the village to visit one of the shellfish outlets - or not. The pool’s looking tempting now and the increasing numbers of holiday makers less so. Perhaps a large salad may suffice!
Very pretty Iris Outfit, mattie. How blessed are young girls with dressmaker Grannies. And how blessed are boat owners who know people who make curtains, sar. Poor you….think you need a serious word with your DH and his good intentions! ?. Enjoy your vineyard BBQ, Pitt. (Or, PatientPitt as you’ll soon be known).At this rate patio man needs to be careful he doesn’t end up under that patio?.
An emotional day for your picnic, dwmx, hope it gives your family some comfort to spend time together.
Happier news soon, we hope, kitty.? Praying your FiL receives the care and kindness needed, susan. Never said congrats to your DD. Saying it now! ?.
Gingster that’s what I’d call the proper use of a Pub. How lovely for you both. Hope everyone’s outings and aboutings are enormous fun, with matching weather this weekend.
If Mya’s having her nails done, there must be so much excitement chez Muse today. Have a marvellous get together, you’ve waited long enough! Enjoy time with your DD too, Blue. I wish I hadn’t forgotten what I meant to say to you, Ash. Sorry, but enjoy your lunch (while I take time to think about it.
If you’ve not been banned, dear EV, can you not tell us you’re ok, please?
Best of days to you all - here, taking a break or missing. Stay fit and well and accept only sunshine, flamingoes and good times in your lives.
Happy Saturday! ??????
Good morning everyone, overcast here too.
for Kitty, you must be so worried. Looking forward to photos of your steam train trip Marydoll when you have finished strangling DH over the wifi!
Not a lot planned for today. I can't believe I am name dropping like this, but tomorrow I have an online date with food critic William Sitwell and chef Michel Roux (junior) It is an American Express event, three cookery schools send you recipes for you to cook starter, mains and dessert along with them, then you can ask questions of William and Michel. I have the ingredients in, and might do some girly swat pre prep. ] already habe brave friends queuing for leftovers!
Enjoy your weekend, whatever it brings.
Disastrous start to the day resulting in all DH’s bedding needing the washing machine including the duvet and waterproof mattress cover. Don’t ask! Day not improved when I emptied the dishwasher to find standing water in the bottom. No “pump out only” control so a call is in to the local repair expert which won’t get a response before Monday. What else can go wrong? Need to do a supermarket shop but doubt that it is wise to get behind the wheel today.
Deep breaths needed or I shall say something unforgivable to DH who is not to blame for his mishaps. Perhaps I might go outside and scream but that would upset the neighbours. Hope other people are having a less frustrating morning and that those anxious about sick friends and relatives get some better news.
Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest Lancashire coast. Your remarks re watching the cycling remind me of my uncle watching football who turned the sound down and listened to the radio commentary with it.
Enjoyed my art group very much yesterday although my painting nothing special and I missed out the pine trees around he lake as I felt that made it look like a Bob Ross? Painting, nice as he is (or was). We then all had coffee in town and I couldn’t talking, I think months of my trap shut have brought that on. I’ll shut up next time.
Still moving art stuff downstairs, I don’t think Picasso had as much as I have. I’ll have to justify it somehow.
Buon viaggio Marydoll and what a pretty place to dine Ashcombe.
Lovely painting of a steam train yesterday.
Have a good day and thoughts to anyone with worries.
GrannySomerset, my heart goes out to you. I hope you can find a quiet few moments to sit in the garden, hear the birds, breath deeply and appreciate your wonderful inner strength. Big hug to you ?
Good morning all, very late to the party. It’s dry with sunny intervals in Hertfordshire and I’m having my Saturday lie-in! No plans today apart from food shop and a bit of gardening. I love buddleia Grandmafrench but have never seen an orange one. Whereabouts in France are you, do you speak French?
GrannySomerset?I hope your day gets better.
*Granny Somerset*he can’t help it and it must be terribly demeaning for him too (been there, done that) but feel free to scare the neighbours and have a good scream.
