Good Morning Saturday

Good morning Mick and all his followers. There was heavy rain in Suffolk this morning and there is plenty more in the forecast. I don’t think we shall be gardening.
We did both school runs yesterday then the DGC stayed over. DH has taken them down for breakfast, so that I could have an extra hour. I was so tired yesterday evening.
This has been a great spring for baby birds here. All our garden visitors have brought their babies to visit - today it’s the greenfinches.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning.
We have a Misty, damp morning here in Brixham.
Not to worry, it is our 45 wedding anniversary and our friends 50th so we are out for a celebration meal this evening. DH and I will spend the day on our own and meet our friends later. Not sure where will will go yet.
Hope everyone has a trouble free day with some smiles along the way.

Very sticky here so couldn’t sleep and am distinctly lacklustre this morning, but no plans so it won’t matter too much. No sign of the promised rain and will be very put out if I have to water later while other areas are awash.

So sorry to read of Jax’s and GrannyActivist’s GDs and hope there is better news today. Worry is the price we pay for love, and somehow it’s even worse at a distance. Hope MrMarydoll is released under caution after having the error of his ways kindly pointed out and that Gwen’s hayfever is treatable - certainly really bad this year and very tiresome.

Hello from Oxfordshire. No idea what the weather is like as I’m still in bed! Rain is forecast. We are looking forward to my son, his partner and my granddaughter coming later on. Oh, and their tiny, ancient Pomeranian dog, who terrifies my much bigger cats. We will give them a late lunch. Their flat is 2-bedroom and quite small. Granddaughter loves wandering around my house and looking in all the rooms.

Good morning from a damp S Welsh coast.
I'm sorry to hear about your granddaughter Jax and I hope that she is in less pain now and will make a good recovery.
Hope all with plans have a good day.

Good morning Mick and all from a less than sunny SWHerts. Hoping for an improved update this afternoon on Jaxjacky's granddaughter, what a worry for you all.

Hoping also the rain will hold off long enough for DH to cut the grass, we have our cat sitters arriving this afternoon, and as the man is a landscape gardener, DH is desperate to make a good impression, isn't male pride a funny thing?! ? One of our friends is receiving a special award for service at the Cathedral today, just hope we can gallop back in time before the sitters get here.

Anyone know how to disguise the smell of fake tan? I put some on last night in preparation for our holiday tomorrow, and despite reviews saying little smell, I am acutely conscious of it! Do I douse myself in perfume, or will that make it worse? ??.

Wishing all those with worries a less anxious day, and may the odd random pink flamingo appear for all of you.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all from cloudy ☁️ Harrogate
What a nasty thing to happen to you DGD. Jax Hope she recovers soon. Today I am expecting a nothingness day. Might go into town to see if I can find relief for hay fever which I am plagued with at the moment. Haven’t had it for years, but this year it’s been awful!

It’s going to be a wet day here, so I’d better get my webbed feet on!

Have the best day you can folks

Good morning from a rainy Peak District.
Jax how awful for poor Imogen, I do hope today’s assessment brings good news and that she is not in too much pain.
We had a good journey up with a service station pit stop and Calke Abbey, National Trust which I highly recommend. Spent a couple of hours there with a short walk, tea and cake and a wander round the gardens, you could easily spend a whole day there.
Arrived at our beautiful holiday cottage with time to make the most of evening sunshine in the garden with a glass of chilled wine, perfect.
Up early and had a local explore and dog walk. Will decide what we want to do this morning before the storm which is forecast for later and then the football tonight.
Wishing all a good weekend

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s been raining in South Yorkshire and we are expecting more. GS is playing in a football tournament today and then he is coming here later to stay over as his parents are having an evening out. He has not stayed here for some time so I’m quite excited. Silly isn’t it? Thank you for all the anniversary good wishes yesterday - we had a lovely day and a lovely dinner to round it off. Hope your GD will be okay, Jax; that must have been traumatic. Fingers crossed for her.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning all. Just woken after another poor night’s sleep due to the heat despite every upstairs window being open.

I was talked out of watering the grass yesterday as rain was forecast but it didn’t arrive though there were some dark clouds in the east. The patio temp reached 31C.

We had a couple of spots overnight but the soil is still parched so I’m going to have to water it today. Currently bright with a high overcast and no sign of a rain cloud. Horribly oppressive.

I’m off to the market shortly, hoping to buy lots of lovely raspberries (not keen on strawberries). We are more than self sufficient in mangetout at the moment. At least neighbours appreciate sharing the glut. They help themselves when we are away which keeps the crop going.

Have a lovely day everyone..

Good morning from the Peak District where it is raining. We have had lovely weather for the last couple of days though and got out and about.

Sorry to hear about your DGD Jax I hope she is in less pain now.

Good morning from a wet Black country.
Lovely day was had yesterday with the boys although a 2 and 5 year old's can make you very tired glad DH has more energy than me.
Meeting our friends in Redditch tonight we have been friends now for over 50 years and try to see each other every week, hoping we may see their new grandson who was born last August.
Will read everyone's happenings after breakfast its Saturday so it's the full English.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

Good morning Mick and all from warm Lueneburg. Lovely sunshine for doing some shredding and other gardening work. We started meeting in our club yesterday with 10 people. It was so nice to see them all again after such a long time. I took Waldi for a long walk along the river in the next village. She is 14 years old and not as active as before and the heat isn`t liked by her. I am going to have an easy day, just a bit of washing and ironing. Good Luck for your husband scentia. Wishing you all a pleasant day and good health.

Good morning from a hazy Colchester. We've had overnight rain and there's more in the forecast. Warm and humid.
We have gardening to do around our new patio, weeding and edging etc.
Two DGS to stay overnight. We'll be watching the football this evening and working out who can sleep where as this is the first sleepover in our new smaller house.
Love to all xx

Morning from S Lanarkshire, showers forecast so I’ll just have to hope we are lucky when I go with DD1 and two oldest GDs for a visit and lunch to Dawyck Gardens in the Borders.
The girls have just finished school so this is to mark the official start of their holidays and I am looking forward to the time in their company.

It will also be a welcome break from the builders yard that is my garden at the moment. I think my garden room will be just as I had hoped but it has taken longer than planned and I have had a couple of bad moments, especially with a tricky neighbour.
I have to go and choose vinyl for the floor this morning so I had better start moving.

Wishing everyone a good weekend???

Ooh Jaxjacky, get well quickly Imogen.

Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy S Hants, we’ve had some rain overnight.
Thank you for your good wishes for Imogen, our granddaughter, 13. She spilt a jug full of boiling water down her, from hip to mid thigh yesterday, ambulance to A&E, paramedics applied some coated gauze stuff and she had morphine. In hospital they removed the skin ?, she had gas and air, there is a reassessment at 5 today. DD rang me soon after it happened, then I waited, which was the worse bit, they were home after 4 hours. It’s DD’s 34th birthday today too!
A good result Marydoll considering your trepidation. grandMattie MrJ will be keenly following the golf, he ‘subtly’ hinted he needs a new putter after he played yesterday, his birthday is soon.
muse hope your leg is healing, a sad farewell yesterday.
Our plans today will be flexible, dropping card to DD where we’ll see Imogen this morning and her brother, we’re out for a late lunch at 2.
?????????????? this evening. Enjoy your day all, thank you for being supportive.

Good morning all,

It's a wet and grey morning here in South Yorkshire and is set for the day as "showers" though I suspect it will be mire prolonged, and thunder storms thus afternoon. It already feels quite muggy.

So sorry to hear about your GD Jaxjacky and also GrannyActivists GD. I hope there is positive news for both very soon.

Well I'm pleased I got the front and back lawns completed yesterday along with a few other jobs before the return of the rain, although that will just mean it grows back even more quickly! The hedges are next for another trim, but will have to wait for a drier day. Today, I'll make do with indoor jobs and reading a book, I think. Oh, and try to find Gardeners Workd on iPlayer, as, surprise, surprise, the tennis and its following inquest took precedence over it being shown on the tv last night.

Hope you'll be able to remove the glue on your splashback with some glue remover, Marydoll. I well understand why Mr Marydoll might be in your bad books just now! ?

Take care, everyone. I wish you a peaceful day.

Re. Sea mist. I’m very used to them having lived in Jersey, CI, for some 4 years. The number of times the island was brought to a standstill for several days with sea mist..

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where the temperature has dropped several degrees.

We had a wee jaunt to Ikea yesterday, I managed not to buy any more scissors but did pick up lots of tea towels and a few hand towels for the kitchen and downstairs loo. I always enjoy a mooch around, they are so clever with storage.

Nothing much happening today, ironing and bedding if I can summon the inclination.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire.Rain is forecast for most of the day.

We had a lovely day yesterday.DD treated me to lunch out and we had a good look round the shops.

Jax, I hope your DGD had a comfortable night and that today’s assessment goes well.

Have the best day you can everyone??

Jaxjacky so sorry to hear about your Gd. Speedy recovery wishes ?

Good morning from a dreary Essex. Yesterday was beautiful and my friend and I walked the dogs over the woods and common. The English countryside is so glorious especially at this time of year. ???.

We had a lovely lunch with old pals outside a country pub . The only trouble was sitting on hard benches without backs. After 2 hours my bottom was numb and my back was stiff. Next time I’ll take a cushion.

DD, Partner and little Dg have gone to Norfolk Butlins for a long weekend . The twin Gs (15) are-doing mock GCSE’s so have gone to stay with friends. They came to me straight from school , had a shower, ate sausage and mash, left their uniforms to be washed and off they went. I hope they all have a great weekend ?.

An easy day today. Watch tennis -( what’s the up to date news on Murray?) . Read a new book and papers. Thunderstorms forecast.
Will have a call from nephew and wife and will hear how their week went at our cottage by the sea.

I must stop rambling and boring you now. Have a pleasant day. ?

Good morning from a dry NE.
I watered all the pots on the patio at teatime last night, put the watering can away and by the time I had washed my hands it was raining. Well that was a waste of time.
Sat down to watch Coronation Street last night to find I had 45 minutes of football because I record everything to avoid the adverts. DH tells me there is another match on tonight, perhaps I will look for a film on Netflix.
Enjoy the weekend.
