Good Morning Everyone,
Its bright sunny start here in Brackley tis morning , hopefully will remain like that .
Unsure who else has Windows 10 , but I got a upgrade on it a few weeks back which indicates weather and temperature locally at the time of day .
Today , a quiet day no Tour De France as its the 1st rest day , only thing of note is at lunchtime as Bargain Hunt with Charlie Ross , comes from the Antiques Cellar , Charlie apparently lives locally as well.
Take Care,
Mick

Morning all from East Northants where it is sunny. Yesterday was forecast thundery showers all day but not a drop of rain was had! Can’t rely on the forecast. Quiet day today, casserole in the slow cooker on the go as I want to watch the tennis this afternoon, easy dinner! Lovely watercolour hollysteers, and lots of lovely photos on here this morning. Have a peaceful and happy day everyone, special thoughts to all the poorly grandchildren.

Good morning all, I’ve just hung the washing out making sure my sunscreen had sunk in first. It’s bright and sunny in the Algarve with not a cloud in the sky as yet.

I’m so sorry that so many of you, including my own family, have had to cancel holiday plans. So many jobs lost because of this wretched pandemic as well. I could go on but am trying not to depress myself and others.

Good afternoon Mick and all morningsters.

Apologies first as I've not read the morning posts except Mick's. Sun only just managing to beam down on me in mid Cornwall.

Leg is much rested and continues to be so today. Thank you to all the "take care" messages. My ice pack is back in the freezer and will be duly applied under the top of my calf. The swelling has gone down a little.

I'm about to start a mammoth tennis watch today. I hope when I get back to read all the posts (in the lulls) there are some from those we are missing. It seems so strange not to see their lovely daily comments. Urm watching the train coming in. Sheep with updates about Popeye and the other lambs.

Back soon???? No flamingo today. I'm on my Macbook.

Hollysteers that’s my kind of watercolour! Superb.

I would pay good money for a set of watercolours framed, like that one Hollysteers.

Good morning (not technically morning) from a changeable Scottish Borders. Lovely to hear of everyone's plans/days. Hope all those facing troubles are supported. Nothing planned. Ddog home and the house feels overwhelmed. And wonderful.Lovely trip to Kelso at the weekend. Having gone cold turkey on Scandi thrillers I discovered Gentleman Jack on iplayer. Thrilled to see the Queen of Denamark played by the lead of The Killing (I think). Take care everyone.

Hello again

Read all the posts in three sessions - breaking away from the tennis. Hope you're enjoying it Grandmadinosaur. Rooting for Emma later on. ??

Jaxjacky Hope Imogen is settled at home and not worrying too much about being knocked. I must watch Yesterday. Forgot all about it. Thank you for the reminder.

Susan56 What an excellent two days you had and two amazing cakes.

Alizarin Blue skies! I think they must stop half way up the A30 - grey here and just had a brief shower. Hope Truro was dry.

Gelisajams Hope you have a better day today at Rosemore.

LauraNorder A lovely romantic memory of your anniversary.

Hollysteers Absolutely beautiful. I'm looking for a piece of art for our new bedroom - that's it! I agree, those conversations are so sad.

Back to the Djokovic match. Have a safe day everyone.

Hello everyone from sunny Ipswich, late and new to the "party"!

My day has been consumed so far by discovering I had accidentally switched off the freezer. Marathon cooking session going on now, but also lot into the bin.

Any other members out there from East Suffolk? User name is a nod to my roots, then Hertfordshire, now enjoying the quieter, slower life of Suffolk.
