Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking grey cloud but its high here in Brackley at the moment but its also dry.
I am watching the men's Olympic road race unfold on TV , throughout the morning , and will do my usual bus trip later on to Bicester .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning Mick and all from very hot Lueneburg. I am going into the garden soon after cleaning the house. The gardener has cut the grass yesterday and I am doing some weeding and getting some more potatoes out. I always plant the left overs from last year - they keep the weeds out a bit. After a rather long telephone chat with my older sister I should be starting to work - but it`s too nice. I went visiting to some male friends yesterday and played bridge. They all can`t wait for me to move to England as they want to visit.My gardener, who has a large van, said that he would take me there with some of my ready packed boxes - but when? I did enjoy all the photos and reports of holiday places- I note them down for my time in Britain. A bacon roll would go down well, maybe later today. Have a good day all and enjoy the sunshine or rain. Rain we need here in the north of Germany. My little stream is almost dried out. Take care all. I used to live in the Rhondda Valley - I loved the people there. I just thought that I would mention it. I want to get to know all of Britain. I think the world is beautiful x

Good morning Mick and all his followers - just! We have just had brunch - both egg and tomato on my clean shirt. ?
Lovely throw Maw and ?for tomorrow. The sun is breaking through here in time for our neighbours’ wedding. I wondered why they have been so busy this week!
Last day of isolation and I have just done a third test - negative again smile
We have friends to lunch tomorrow, so a bit of cleaning and tidying to do today.
I have Portmeirion on my list BlueSapphire - we could see it from my brother’s holiday house in Borth y Gest but kept putting it off.
I have washing to hang out but next door have a smoky bonfire - grrr
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

A beautiful throw, Mawbe, which will surely be appreciated! I understand that patients with Alzheimer’s like things to fiddle with such as beads or bits of ribbon, but perhaps such additions would spoil the overall effect of your handiwork

Thank you for the “beautiful handiwork” comment. I cherish no such illusions.
With respect Ashcombe my D’s MIL is bedbound and doesn’t “twiddle”. She may not have many months left, but I wanted her to have something soft and comforting whether on her bed, round her shoulders or across her knees on the few occasions they may sit her out in a chair.
A “blankie” in other words.
