Good Morning Thursday

Good morning Mick and all morningsters.

Dry mid Cornwall and having my mug of Earl grey in bed. MrM had a brilliant afternoon sailing with his friend. Groundwork continues today.
Agree about lifting of restrictions Mick.

Love the cloud photos and gardens.

Sorry to hear about the disturbed night’s sleep Susan and the ?relative. Hope tonight’s better.

Well done England. More tennis for me today. Doctor wanted to see leg today so I will take photos. Swelling is still there, as is calf pain. Slow progress. Think Pilates will have to be missed tonight. ☹️☹️

I haven’t read all posts so will be back later after breakfast. I can hear the eggs being cracked ?.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. I can see dark clouds in the distance, rain is in the forecast.
Good news, our workman has finished!!! We have a patio and path. DH told him that we would tidy up and put the finishing touches on. He has left the materials and we will do it today. We may also nip to B&Q for a few bits and do a supermarket shop.
DH has been busy planning for Saturday night until I told him that the football final wasn't until Sunday! It was much quieter here last night after the initial fireworks and sirens, probably because it was a "school night".

Love to all x

Good morning all from a cloudy central London, where is the promised sunshine?
I enjoyed the train journey up yesterday, the train wasn't busy. We had a lovely meal last night in a leafy, football free pub garden. Walked back to the hotel past lots of very full hostelries, a good atmosphere. Later we will take the tube to Wimbledon and see the Ladies semi finals.
Susan wishing you a gentle day, take care.
Hope today will be kind to us all, thinking of our missing posters.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Sainsbury's delivery this morning and that is about all the excitement for the day.
BIL's investigations, at the hospital, showed there was no cause for worry which is a great relief.
DH's chemo session was okay and the nurse was very gentle which meant his arm wasn't bruised.
DH stayed up to watch the match and I busied myself with trivial things while finishing a bottle of rose wine I found in the fridge.
I will be watching GD's assembly on the computer today, she has won the junior house art prize and will be presented with a cup. They break up tomorrow and do not return until 8th September. Uniform wearing recommences for autumn term, I bet that is a relief for parents.
Enjoy the sun today.

Good morning all and it’s grey here in Essex.
Yesterday DH went fishing so I had no car. Walked up to The town with my trusty trolley (best thing I ever bought). It’s uphill all the way so a bit of a killer. . It was market day so had a browse and filled said trolly. I almost ran down the hills back home , with trolley overtaking me ?. DD came in after work with her shopping so we refilled the trolley and walked back to her house. Walked the dog and felt shattered for the rest of the day. ?.

Today I have bowls this morning. I usually have my art group in the afternoon but haven’t heard when it will be re-starting yet.

Susan and Alizirin - families are complex . My DS1 and DS2 have always been close but are very different. DS1 is hosting our golden wedding gathering on Saturday. DS2 has just told us he and family won’t be able to get there until 2 hours later than arranged. DS1 isNOT happy. I’ve said ‘no problem’ and try to keep the peace. Not a serious situation but niggly all the same ?.

DD said she can hear little Gd (5) singing in her bedroom ‘it’s comin ome, it’s comin ome, footballs comin ome! ?

Lovely pics on here today. I love cloud watching too Ash

Wishing you all a good day ?

Good morning all from beautiful bonnie Scotland where it looks like being another stunning day here on Loch Lomond. We were hoping that the wallaby we saw last week would again have an early morning drink at the place we first spotted him/her last but the only mammals sighted so far today are a squirrel and a fallow deer.
A Swan appeared from nowhere with two cygnets the minute we started on our scrambled egg. Teaching them bad habits. We didn't feed them even though they gazed at us pleadingly.
If there is a breeze later we will have a sail. If not we will motor up the loch and find somewhere for lunch.
Have a peaceful day everyone.

Someone asked to see our wedding pic (sorry I’ve forgotten who). Golden anniversary on Saturday.

Morning Mick and all

Yep it’s definitely grey Gingster I have ironing to do and need to go to local shops for veggies and fruit.

The 6yr old and his brother The Imp
FaceTimed me earlier singing its coming home he is really into sport and so happy with last nights result (can’t say the same for our Danish DiL and GC though )

DH is helping his SiL with funeral plans today, may drive up to see her at the weekend. It’s a comfort to know her sisters live nearby as do her daughters, they are all a very close knit part of the family, she is well supported.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Beautiful bride and groom Gingster??

Good morning from a fresh north of Scotland.
I have not been quite myself recently but hopefully picking up again.
Susan ?
Jaxjacky ? for you and Imogen
We may be in Scotland but the roar from the village last night each time England scored was heartening. I want to stay in the UK so loved hearing the joy. I was not watching, having already seen lots of tall, strong men with racquets comporting themselves in exemplary fashion.
A cloud lover here too, and often take an evening drive to see what is happening over the mountains. I love a cloud inversion where you go above the clouds, it becomes clear and you see all the tops “floating”. Lifts the heart.
Off to pot up some lovely bedding plants my neighbour brought over to cheer me up - it did and does. Then prepare for the arrival of a gigantic Tesco order as I decided not to shop given the incredible COVID spike here.
Have the best day you can.

It was me ?. Thank you. Love it. What have you planned for the celebration?

Good morning Mick and all from a warming up ‘slightly’ South Bucks.

I wasn’t going to post today as I thought I had nothing interesting to impart, then I read Marydoll’s post and was rolling around laughing at the thought of her cerise bra and undies adorning the garden. Best laugh of the day. ?.

I’ll check on Amazon Alizarin to see if I can hire an outrageous flirt to come and give you a whirl on your beach. Anything is possible. ??

Good morning all from sunny Lancashire where it promises to be another beautiful day. I’m still in bed waiting to take my second lot of morning meds, having a lie in! Yesterday was my birthday, Mr. B took me out for the day. We went to Shap fell, it was glorious, we took a picnic and saw more sheep than people. We called into The Chocolate Factory at Orton, Mr. B has bought me an enormous box of delicious handmade chocolates for my birthday. It really is a lovely shop, they do mail order but it’s nicer to visit. It’s the longest journey I’ve been on since December 2019 and I slept like a log last night.

Wishing everyone the best day possible ?

Ginny, beautiful!

Feelingmyage55, thanks for theTesco reminder. I nearly forgot to cancel mine, cupboards are bursting, no need for an order.

What a lovely photo Gingster. It’s our 50th in October and as yet I haven’t organised any celebration. I really need to get my skates on. Have a lovely time on Saturday. ?

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all from a dry if dull Edinburgh. Thrown off course and missed posting yesterday due to DS announcing he was on the BBC website and appearing on BBC Wales in the evening. With no wifi here it was panic stations eventually succeeding in using my phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to catch it on iPlayer!

Off to Aberdeen today, to stay with friends. The drive from Thirsk two days ago was scary, torrential rain all down the motorway, hooing for better today. We did Edinburgh Zoo yesterday, lots of flamingos! Holyrood Palace this morning if Nicola isn't using it.

Thoughts with those anguishing over worries or unwell themselves.

It’s freezing here, literally. Zero degrees. Not what people think about Australia at all. Met some long time old friends this morning for breakfast, it was really good to catch up. Had to make a trifle for tomorrow’s Christmas in July and the jelly won’t set. Probably /possibly put too much alcohol in ? Also used some juice so that might be the issue. Ah well, it will be a sloppy one.

Nanna8 I reckon it's adding juice. Alcohol only makes a trifle better ?

Good morning all.
My GD and I enjoyed the football last evening and are now geared up for Sunday.
I am having windows replaced next week by a very good local firm who has done work for us several times.
The boss rang this morning to say they wouldn’t be starting on Monday as planned as he is giving all the lads the day off so their celebrations or depths of despair can be managed at home.
That really is a good boss.
That is a lovely photo Ginster you both look so happy and also so young.
My H and I were 22 and 21 when we married and had nearly 61 years together before he died .
I hope you have a lovely and very special day.

Thankyou GG, Muse and Nankate. We will celebrate with family . No big ‘do’ which we were planning last year.

Thanks annsixty . Yes we were so young 20 and 21. You had a lovely long life together. . How lovely! ?

I think pineapple juice can stop jelly setting?

Good morning from a cloudy Leicestershire.

*Susan so sorry you have worries with relatives - I can relate to that. I hope you are feeling more upbeat today. Sorry to hear of your sadness too Alizarin.
Scentia
So pleased DH's chemo went well Harrigran.

I wish my DH was like yours Marydoll and yours Corner.
He likes to buy while the iron is hot as it were.
We are going out to look at Nordic walking poles and walking shoes because I happened to mention I enjoyed it on Tuesday.
I wouldn't mind but I will be the one doing it, not him!

Laughed aloud at the thought of cerise bra and knickers adorning your bushes Marydoll.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from S Lanarkshire, some lovely pictures,
I’ve never been to DumfriesHouse baubles, now on my list.

What a happy photo Gingster, enjoy your celebration..

A lot on for me today so I’ll just wish everyone a happy day ?
