Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where the sun has got his hat on. Off to the factory for a few hours then home to clean up in readiness for my guests tomorrow night.
I went to DFiL home yesterday to clear his room, for a man who continually refused to go anywhere he had a lot of clothes!! I have applied to repair shop to try and get some leather items featured for restoration!
I do hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine.

Good morning, everyone, from an overcast Torbay.

Just a quick visit as I’m planning an early Lidl shop. I look forward to catching up later. I hope all are as well as possible.

?Have a fabulous, flamingo Friday! ?

Good morning everyone from Severnside. We have plenty of cloud and a few blue spots peeping through.

A couple of errands to do before I do the weekly shop. I’m making a fish pie for dinner as Beechnutella is coming later. I can prepare and leave it until ready to cook which is ideal for her visits. She says she has a long working day ahead of her.

Take care all ?

Good morning all from a sun up S Hants, up early as sun shining and eye mask not working today. Imogen was lovely yesterday, it was me tippy toeing around her, could do better J.
Allotment today to cover some areas, really not done as well as I should have done thus far, Tesco delivering later.
Have a lovely Friday all who can ????.

Good morning from grey E Kent.
Walked over to the golf Open campus yesterday. My word, they have built a huge temporary village. Naturally, there is a blizzard of new “NoParking”, three enormous foot bridges, (paid) parking all over the place. All the traffic goes past our house. It will be a noisy ten days…
Bedding and gardening today.
Thank you dusty for the photocopy flamingo hatchlings.
Hope every one managed to catch or catch sight of a flamingo ? today. ????

Good morning from a bright but cloudy North Leicestershire.

Up very early as DH has to pick up his first drive at 7.40!! He is so amenable that he always gets the early drives or other 'awkward' ones.

Our cleaner is coming this morning and I will do some gardening and keep out of her way. I think it's time for a belated Chelsea Chop.

Enjoy your days!

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a cloudy start to the day but due to brighten up later.
I had a lovely afternoon with my friend yesterday catching up on all her news and enjoying coffee and cake.
So pleased the Imogen was ok yesterday Jaxj, I’m sure she didn’t notice your tiptoeing!
Today we’ve got the DGC to look after until just after lunchtime then we’re finishing our packing as tomorrow all of us that’s DD2, SiL, DGC and ourselves, are off to a cottage right next to the beach on the Isle of Bute. I’m looking forward to it and hope the weathers not too bad although the DGC won’t mind anyway
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 09-Jul-21 07:13:31

Morning Mick and all

It’s grey here but no rain is forecast.
We have The Imp today so no plans, we are meeting up with friends for dinner this evening at a Prezzo’s never been before.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning from a cloudy central London.
Had a good day at Wimbledon yesterday, the semi finals were excellent. When we first arrived we went for a late breakfast, two ladies on the next table were having croissants and Pimms, now that's the way to start the day.
An Uber for Millbank is booked for 9.30, then a boat trip.
grandMattie when a Seniors golf tournament was held very near us a few years ago, the golf village was a sight to see. It must be even more so for the Open.
Hope everyone will have a pleasant day.

Morning all from an overcast south Cornwall. Had a lovely dream in which I was in Liverpool (where I lived for a while and which I miss) and was so disappointed when I woke up and found I wasn't! My dad was northern and I've never felt I quite fit in down south ha ha.

To a friend's for coffee and a good natter, then home to make up the guest bed in my art room for my son who's letting his flat for three nights with Air BnB. Squeezed in my little home we will have a laugh. The best of days to you all. So glad Imogen is ok Jaxjacky.

Grandmabatty Fri 09-Jul-21 07:24:46

Good morning all. I'm off to M&S shortly. I have friends coming to afternoon tea and I wasn't up to the usual home baking so it's a mark's tea! Dd said she would nip in with dgs later in the afternoon as she's very fond of my friend. So it's a busy wee house today. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from a wet and muggy, Somewhere near Glasgow. Its 13C and predicted to go up to 21C.

DH is golfing and the workmen have gone, so an unexpected empty. Me, I'm not sure what to be up to. It's difficult to find something to do, keeping out of trouble would be a good idea! wink
I'm embarrassed to go anywhere, due to the hacking cough, I have. I began to doubt myself last night, so took my temp and did, yet another Covid test. People keeping body swerving me and giving me dirty looks. Body swerving is good! Keeps me safer. ?
According to my infra red thermometer, info booklet, I have hypothermia and should be in hospital and the oximeter indicates that my oxygen levels are so low, I'm hardly breathing!!!! I may be on my way out, and not to the shops either! ?
What on earth is going on?

The first stage of the decking has been completed, but it needs another wash. We should be able to get our table and chairs on it, but nothing else, as it still has no glass sides yet.
It means that the grass ( DH's pride and joy, is no longer the green pasture it was before the decking work ☹) can now be cut and my fruit bushes and tubs moved back to where they belong. I will ask my boys to do that at the weekend! Despite what he thinks, they are too heavy for MrStubborn to move on his own.

MOM, I haven't noticed you posting for a while, good to see you. ? Enjoy your day.
Scentia, please keep us up to date with the Repair Shop application. I read somewhere that there was an outcry, as it looks like another series won't be commissioned. I hope I have got that wrong.
I'm looking forward to hearing how you got on yesterday, Baubles and hopefully see some photos from Espee. I haven't been in Balmaha, since I was a child.

Wishing you all a pleasant day and love to all who are struggling.

Good morning from a sunny Ilfacombe. Today we are heading to Taunton to see my friend. Regular readers to this thread will know I speak to her every Saturday at 8:30am. I haven’t seen her in over 2 years. I’m not sure what DH and DS2 will do!
Take care everyone and stay safe ?

Gingster Fri 09-Jul-21 07:44:13

Good morning all and it’s another greyish start here in Essex.
Im Dog walking with my friend at 9.30 and will go back to hers for a coffee. Then dh and I will go to our usual country pub to meet old friends (the chaps were all at school together) but the wives meet more regularly.

I love The Repair Shop Scentia . Give us the nod if you are due to appear on it.

The ladies semi finals at Wimbledon were outstanding yesterday. Lucky you to be there Lins

brook enjoy your family holiday. It sounds lovely.

Wishing you all a good day. ?

Good morning from an almost sunny Colchester. Another warm day with an odd shower in the forecast.
A weekend shop and a bit more gardening before settling down with tennis on the TV.

Love to all x

Grandmadinosaur Fri 09-Jul-21 07:50:35

Good morning and the sun is out ?
Yesterday we had dgs so we took him to a beach not too far away from home. Like most little ones he adores the beach. We went on the beach, had fish and chips then he went on some kiddies rides. As we came off there he said “if I had an ice cream now it would be the perfect day” he melts my heart and that’s what we did. All 3 of us were shattered when we got home.
Today I will have an easy day I’ve got a haircut booked at lunchtime then I shall watch tennis. I need to do some food shopping at some point but who knows when I will fit that in ?
Have a good day everyone

Morning Mick, morning All from an overcast corner of Somerset.

Walk to wall sunshine yesterday after the cloud cleared tempted us to the beach. Coffee with a view out to sea, a walk along the beach and lunch outside a beach cafe made for a relaxed and happy day. Mr C of course resembles a tomato as he and sun screen are strangers in spite of my advice (nagging!)

The cloud today will ensure we catch up with chores, several inches of dust to remove and ‘stuff’ to tidy away.

Would it be wise to seek medical advice marydoll? You sound proper poorly. Pleased you enjoyed Wimbledon Lins, we all need a change of scene at times.

Take care everyone, hope Friday is kind to us all.

ginny Fri 09-Jul-21 07:58:29

Good morning everyone.
Looking a bit dull on the Lizard peninsula where we arrived yesterday.
I think we will go to Lizard village and then walk to explore a couple of coves. So many pretty ones around here.

Hope you all find a smile today.

Good morning from a dry NE.
Yesterday started badly, the Sainsbury delivery didn't happen. We have no idea what happened but had to rearrange, soonest is 10pm tonight.
Watched GD's end of term assembly and saw her receive her awards for art, violin and piano.
I decided to do some spraying with weedkiller during the afternoon, not my garden as such but the pavement around the house and all the gutters were thick with weeds. LA don't seem to do this kind of thing now.
Enjoy your outings but take care, it is still out there.

Gwenisgreat1 Fri 09-Jul-21 08:17:22

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Get that cough seen to Marydoll I know how debilitating they can be. I had a hacking cough for 5 years, the docs ignored my pleas to go to the respiratory clinic until I could hardly walk for lack of breath. I was finally sent to the hospital where I was diagnosed with TB!! My lungs are now damaged. Thanks to the docs!! I don’t know who I infected!! Get your cough seen to - NOW.

NannyJan53 Fri 09-Jul-21 08:18:41

Good morning from a cloudy Black Country, where it was sunny 30 minutes ago!

Lovely day yesterday, lunch with Mum, then met two DGD's from the school coach.

Number 3 DGD is 12 today! Time flies, one minute a toddler, next a young lady.

Grandmadinosaur your DGS certainly has a very diplomatic way of asking for ice-cream, that really made me smile.

Marydoll I hope you feel better as the day goes on. I agree with cornergran

Did any of you receive an odd PM yesterday? I had one from a Micheal32 (not our Mick ) which said
"Each day brings new opportunities, those who start their day early, grab them before others. Good Morning"
That was it, very strange.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Grandmajean Fri 09-Jul-21 08:19:28

Good morning from sunny Cheshire.
Haven't read any posts yet so will come back when boring chores done.
As good a day as possible all .
