Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from an overcast Colchester. None of the forecasted rain has yet arrived.
A quiet Sunday with a roast pork dinner to look forward to this evening.

Big hugs all round x

Morning Mick, morning All from an overcast, cool corner of Somerset. The cloud stayed with us all day yesterday, more of the same forecast.

Lethargy alive and well here. I did manage an hour of activity, will try to do better today.

I’m sure everyone spending time with family will have a good day. The circus sounds fun alizarin, pleased you enjoyed it. Such sad news oopsadaisy, your friend will be pleased to see you both, don’t worry about words, the right ones will come. maw , wishing you a gentle day with your memories.

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

Good morning and it’s murky out at sea here on the Suffolk coast.
We aren’t far from you Ginny. About 4 miles along the coast.
Dh was in Aldeburgh watching a footie match yesterday.

Oopsadaisy - how awful! And what a shock for you all. ??.

Maw happy memories ! ?

Sar I know that feeling of having no sleep , especially when you can’t catch a nap during the day with the littlies around to entertain. Never mind mum and dad back today and you’ve done your bit to help.?.

It’s a murky start here . The sea and sky have merged into one. Quite eerily beautiful. The wind has dropped and it’s quite ghostly . I do love the English climate. Never the same and it always leaves you wondering. We didn’t get the forecast storms but maybe later today. Just one rumble of thunder, one flash of lightning and no rain.

We will shop for the visiting family arriving tomorrow. I’ve made a large shepherds pie and will make an even larger lasagne today.. we will definitely have fish and chips one day from the famous Aldeburgh shop. Must time it right otherwise you could queue for an hour.

Wishing you all a good day. Hope poorly grans are feeling a bit better. Has anyone read The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. I’ve just finished it and sort of enjoyed it but have reservations of it’s authenticity. ?.

Good morning everyone from a very grey Northampton. Thinking of you today, Maw.

Cut the grass yesterday, cut back the rampant vine on the pergola, and gave my thirsty shrubs a good watering; just as well I did, as the promised rain did not arrive.

My lovely neighbour who kept an eye on the house while I was away, popped over to return my keys, and we had a long chat in the garden. He had also put my bins out, collected the post from the front porcb, and done some watering. He then mentioned that my front door needed adjusting and would I like him to do it. So he came over with his tools and 5 minutes later it was done. I think a bottle of wine is in order!

No plans for today except watch the Olympics and catch up on programmes I recorded while I was away.

Dwmxwg, yes it was Harlech beach. It was very busy, but plenty of room as the beach is enormous.

Have a pleasant day everyone.

Good morning all from bright Harrogate
Decided it will be unwise to go to church in case there are too many unmasked not socially distanced members of the congregation
DGd has tested positive, thankfully I am negative DH wouldn’t do the test, but will have to before his minor op on Friday. DD and family were
supposed to be going on holiday to the Lake District on Friday. They have had to cancel. Like so many others, they did need that break.
I am still making DGd a school pinafore with fabric I was given, so will probably get on with it until it needs tried on.

Have a good day all and may the sun shine on you!

Good morning from a cloudy S Welsh coast.
Truly awful about your DH's friend Oopsadaisy I'm sure a hug and you just being there will help the poor man.
Thinking of you today Maw my best wishes to you.
My friend and neighbour was told on Friday that her illness is terminal, her DH has asked me yesterday to inform our neighbours as he cannot face it. There were some difficult visits and phone calls yesterday afternoon.
I am looking forward to a walk with the dog later and have a chicken to roast.
Take care every one and enjoy your day.

Good morning-*Mick*, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s still cloudy but yesterday began like this and turned out to be scorching.

We’re picking up the eldest DGD this morning for a sleepover on her own. We haven’t done that for a long time. Tomorrow she and I will go into Glasgow for a mooch around the shops.

Marydoll I used to suffer from frequent mouth ulcers and found that salt was the only thing that worked. I’d dab a wet finger into a little bowl of salt and apply to the ulcers. Excruciatingly painful for a short time but it did the trick.

Such very sad news Oops

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.

Grandmabatty, there weren't any clowns, interestingly. Just two silly men who had us in stitches. I went a bit daft with excitement and told the horse-mad five year old granddaughter, 'Ooh, you'll see horses!' My son said, 'Mum, they haven't had horses in circusses for years.' Not sure what planet I was on ha ha.

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Weather never brightened up yesterday so it was an indoors day.
Sister came and said she had problems with certain items missing when she went shopping and DD said the same when she arrived. Biggest problem was bottled water, we need it because the tap water is undrinkable.
DS and family are visiting this afternoon, be nice to hear about their holiday.
Thoughts are with you Oopsadaisy, be strong for your friend.

Good morning from the Black country it's a lot cooler but no rain yet. Have woke up with a headache caused by my sinuses which usually means we will have thunder, we shall see.
Nothing planned for today, there is some ironing that's looking at me but I might ignore it.
?Maw
Tablet needs charging so will catch up later.
Enjoy your Sunday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning everyone from from just outside Aviemore where the sun is up already and it’s forecast to be another warm sunny day. Yesterday early loud cleared by mid morning and it was a gorgeous day for walking by the lochs and through the pine trees in the shade. We enjoyed our picnic by the side of the water watching quite a few people having fun with kayaks and paddle boards. We’re off home today and will no doubt be tackling the weeds in the garden later - a never ending job

Sad news about your DH friends wife Oops I hope your visit will help in some way
Enjoy the zoo ginny such fun with little ones!
A day to treasure those happy memories Maw and remember the good times
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Oopsadaisy what sad news you bring. ?

Good morning Mick and all from a slightly damp S Hants. Horrendous Oops what an awful thing to happen.
Mawbe precious memories for you today on your anniversary. ?
We’ve had the GC’s overnight, they’re both good as gold and it’s a pleasure, Imogen’s burn is healing well.
Think we’ve more rain coming in later; when the GC’s have gone home I might bung the hoover round, if I can get out in the garden there are weeds, again!
Have a happy Sunday all, thinking of those absent or not so good x

Good morning all. Clouds at the moment in Polmont but it's to clear up. Oopsadaisy1 that's very sad news. You are right, live life to the full.
Lots of sleepy grandparents this morning! I haven't had the boy wonder for a sleepover since he was very small and I'm not sure I'm ready for it. It would be different if I had a partner to help I suppose. Alizarin your circus adventure sounds good, although I'm not normally a fan. I really dislike clowns!
Our trip to St Andrews was postponed yesterday. The forecast was better inland so dd decided to do a buffet lunch. It was a lovely afternoon. Lots of good food, sunshine and family. Dgs wanted us all to stand in his tiny paddling pool which was a challenge! I really enjoyed myself.
Today I'm going to an art workshop in the garden. This time it's figure drawing which I haven't done, so I was keen to sign up to develop my skills. I'm beginning to regret it now though. Anyway I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I get there. Pork fillet for dinner later. Have a good day all.

Good morning one and all from a very cloudy Glasgow. We are promised sunshine and more heat later.

I had a lovely morning yesterday with DD, despite her being exceedingly grumpy, due to constant lack of sleep. My lovely SIL has at last gone to the doctor's and been referred to the sleep clinic, due to his horrendous snoring. None of us, apart from him, get any sleep when he stays here!! Even DH( he has a cheek) complains. ?
Espee DD suggested going to your market on the riverside. Just as you said, it was so disappointing! ? I remember it in it's heyday. I could have spent all morning there.

This morning I plan to potter in the garden, while it is still cool, the heat is making me feel quite unwell and I'm becoming quite grumpy frustrated at being unable to do much, to say the least. Every day is precious to me, I want to cram so much in, due to my prognosis. However, I haven't the energy to argue with myself, I have lots of sewing alterations to do, so I may just settle for that.

Has anyone have solutions to help mouth ulcers? Mine are caused by my auto immune conditions and despite medication from dentist, doctor and pharmacy, they are still not healing. Its so painful to eat. Probably not such a bad thing, as I have become rather plump during sheilding! ! ?

I'm sure many of you will be seeing family today, enjoy and cherish your time with them.
For those who are struggling, be kind to yourself. ?

Good morning all, and thank goodness we’re loosing some of that heat. I was definitely starting to wilt. Going for a walk today with a girl friend, and hopefully a swim.

Oopsadaisy, how awful. Thinking of you and your visit today.

What a terrible tragedy for your DH's friend, Oopsadaisy1. I'm sure he will appreciate you just being there. Such kindness when someone is going through the worst possible times is the sign of true friendship. ?

Good morning from south Cornwall where it promises pleasant weather for my grandson's 4th birthday. This morning the bouncy castle is being erected on a small playing field in their cul-de-sac and anyone living nearby can join in.

My allotment trip yesterday was interrupted by an invitation to the circus with youngest grandchildren and their dad. It was fantastic, jaw-dropping in fact. Fire eaters and motorbikes and jugglers galore. Much better than pulling weeds.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from a very early bright start to the day here on the east coast of Fife. The birds outside have also been wide awake very early.

Yesterday was the family annual bbq what great fun we all had unfortunately there’s no food left for today otherwise we could’ve had another mini bbq.The sun is meant to be shining all day.Hurrah, long may it last.

I hate to be a wet blanket but that might be the end of our summer

So guys and dolls enjoy what good weather may still yet to come

Good morning from Aldeburgh where it is rather cloudy.
Never mind DGSs are bright and breezy and we are off to a zoo today. 5 year old is singing ‘we’re going to the zoo, zoo, zoo, you can come too, too,too.
Maw I’ m sure most of those memories are happy ones.
Hope you all find a smile today.

Morning Mick and all

It is grey here in S E Essex, we have rain and storms forecast for the rest of the day.

MawBe special days are never easy, you have your memories to keep you company today ?
Sar53 I too am exhausted The Imp thought it was party central at 3am took time to get him back to sleep, fortunately he didn’t wake up his brother or DH just DD and myself ?

No idea what today will bring other than going out for a late Sunday lunch, the 6yr old loves this local restaurant, however eating out with The Imp is never predictable or boring ?

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning from a wet and dreary Vale of the White Horse.
A difficult day today, Mr Oops best mates wife was killed last week and he has been surrounded by family until today, so we are going to see him, goodness knows what we will say to him. I guess a hug will have to do as we have no words, it was tragic and by all accounts horrific.
It’s been a rough few days, but we have to concentrate on the family she left behind and remember the lovely lady she was.

Hope everyone has a good day and please take care out there.

Good Morning from a dull Severnside.

I wasn’t successful with my bike yesterday. I should have just let the tyre down to put the wheel back in. Back to a YouTube video and failing that the shop.

I am meeting Beechnutella at the mall later. She wants to get a few things and I may come home with something for me.

Have a good day all ?
