Good morning Mick and all his followers from a cloudy Suffolk.
It looks like a fairly even split between the TdF and Wimbledon today, no doubt with some football later!
Glad to hear there is some improvement in your brother Kitty .
Today is acupuncture and shopping. We are going to some friends tomorrow but have another friend coming to stay within hours of our return on Thursday. Meals are planned and we will get as much done in advance as we can. We don’t see anyone for weeks then two at once! We shall do our first Covid tests before we travel, just in case.
The weather is unusually fine up in Scotland it seems - I think we have your weather! And Luneberg sounds a bit too warm for me - you will notice the difference when you get to the UK Amselerin !
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good Morning everyone from surprising Monday morning weather in the South of ??. Surprising in that I was woken by a cheeky thunderstorm. Meteo certainly got their forecast wrong. Had some rain but not enough to do any damage. Now the skies are light again and I can see blue, so normal service should be resumed very shortly. ?

Owl? Or Hare? Both please. I’d happily make space for both in my garden/on my bed. You’re very clever, Gelisa. Chainsaws are so scary. I could relate some shocking tales - but won’t - life is quite shocking enough already. Agreed? We knew a gardener in Normandy who was a whizz and if we took down a tree, he’d be able to turn up and create a garden seat from the stump, quick as a wink. His chainsaw was more like a magic wand!

Be kind to your poor hand, GrandmaB Hope it eases today. Should you/have you considered some help for that knee, holly? My DH wore a very good support for his until very recently. His knee took over his life, though, and ruined his sleep until he had it drained and received a steroid injection. Told it would never have eased otherwise due to the fluid. He’s ok now and almost back to normal. Hope you have a better week.

Wretched weather can lie in wait for visitors, muse. Makes life so unnecessarily complicated. Hope you get the sun and a chance to enjoy your spectacular countryside together very soon. Good to just be together at last, though?

I finally looked at the incident which flattened so many in the TdeF Mick. What a stupid and irresponsible thing to do. They’ll doubtless throw the book at that woman. I stood on a nice, mown, flat grass verge outside my garden gates to film the peloton as it rushed past the other year. I felt quite intimidated by the pressure the riders created as they passed…one wrong move towards them by me would have caused a disaster for sure. Waving placards at the tv cameras? I don’t think so…especially as a Police motorcycle outrider was parked in my driveway! It was a very exciting experience, though, and our area benefitted from lots of newly re-surfaced roads because of the Race as well! Enjoy the feast of ?‍♀️ You’ve planned.

Have the best Monday, everyone, and better health to all those who need it. Thinking of you all. ?‍♀️???

Good morning all from sunny Lancashire. I’m way behind with all your news following an awful weekend of constant nausea. Feeling much better today, had a good sleep last night and the sun is shining. I shall now try to catch up! Happy Monday all ?

Scentia I am seriously impressed with your DH’s sub 7 minute miles. I was more of a plodder but I do miss my running.
Gelisa your hare is absolutely beautiful, such skill
Nannagarra I too would love your owl in my garden, I have a few but none as impressive
kitty so glad to hear your brother is making an improvement, birthday wishes to him

Scentia Mon 28-Jun-21 18:51:15

Dwmxwg. I too am in awe of how fit he keeps himself, he really does put me to shame!! In his 30’s however he was a 5 minute miler for that distance , but at 59 it is awesome ?

I am new to Gransnet and am flummoxed at all the abbreviations - please advise.
