Morning Mick and All from a grey overcast South Bucks.

Preparing to go to look after our DGSs from tomorrow. We haven’t done this for about 15 months. We will notice the difference in them. They are 10 and 8 and they can wrap me round their little finger. ?

I may fit in some ‘undercover’ Wimbledon if I’m lucky today.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a clear blue sky and a warm sunny day forecast. Sounds like there’s lots of rain elsewhere so I hope it clears up soon and the sun comes out
Well done to your DH Scentia such a good achievement in the race and so lovely too about your DGS
Today we’re looking after the DGC so we’re off to Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness. We’ll be having a picnic lunch there and then taking them home this afternoon when their dads home from work. Then home for a much needed rest I expect!
Enjoy your trip to Yorkshire Hollysteers and hope you have a great day
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s grey and wet.

After weeding yesterday I sat in several places around my garden. There is one area that I shall have to make a decision on and have been thinking about how to make it look tidy and easier for me to manage.

I’m going to take today as it comes. My friend may call by today.

Have a good day all and I am intrigued by the lilac knickers ?

Good morning from a very soggy Essex by the sea. We had a lot of rain yesterday evening and during the night.
I'm going out later for a few bits that I need plus some treats from M&S as DH is away.
Thoughts with those in pain or sadness. Have the best Monday you can ???xx

Good morning Mick and all from a Sunny suet on Sea, northwest Lancashire coast.
I’m off on a bus trip to Yorkshire so have my sarnies and coffee made. An early start for this normally night owl.
I have an elastic support on the gammy knee, so hope that helps.
Hope you all have a good day and thoughts to those with troubles of any kind.

Good morning all from a wet S Hants, bit of house cleaning this morning and voluntary work this afternoon/evening. I’ve just had a small nosebleed, the cauterisation from two weeks ago not quite healed.
Have a good day all, thoughts with those absent.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it looks a little grey out there.
Off to work shortly then off to my walking group later this evening. I will walk to the start point to get some extra miles in!
DGS was a delight at the running race yesterday, charming as ever with people. He is delightful company and I am so proud of him and my DD and DSiL for how they are raising such a lovely little boy.
DH was amazing in his race and ran his 10k in just 40minutes which at nearly 60 is a great time. I am sort of enjoying the TDF and will try my hardest to go along with DH programme of race watching, which I assume is much like Mick’s ?

Take care my friends?

Good morning from a rainy north Surrey. Drove home from work in monsoon conditions last night, was pretty scary, in 2nd gear most of the way. There is a lot of standing water on the roads this morning.
Waiting for the gym top open up.
Have a very large pile of ironing and take dad to get a blood test this morning.
Carpenter coming this afternoon to quote on flooring and news doors.
Wishing all a good day

Good morning from a damp, grey E Kent. It rarely rains here, but we do get the cloud…
Had a bad night it’s DH tossing, turning and getting up, then coming back. I have been awake since 0330ish, he’s fast asleep now. He will no doubt complain about his bad night when he gets up.
Cleaning today and little else.
Hope today brings relief to the sad, in pain and anxious, and everyone has a good day. ????☀️??

Good morning, Mick and everyone to follow, from a very soggy Torbay. We had little respite from the rain yesterday and it has persisted throughout the night, creating mini floods where the drains are blocked. Poor holidaymakers!

Throughout the pandemic, our church has been open daily for several hours for private prayer. Last week, someone had the bright idea of opening both sets of double doors to air the building. Unfortunately, this led to a visit from two curious gulls, presumably seeking spiritual sustenance! The inevitable “calling cards” resulted, giving our dedicated cleaning ladies extra tasks!

Shortly, I shall paddle to the car for an early visit to Lidl. Wishing everyone a good week with relief from pain of any kind. ??⛅️☀️?
