Good Morning Wednesday

Good morning from a grey NE.
We had one very brief shower around 7pm last night while there was a thunderstorm just a few miles along the road.
DH has a chemotherapy session this afternoon, I will clean the bedroom and bathroom while he is out.
Need to place a grocery delivery, what to get is a problem as I am bored of home cooking. Sister brought me lamb from her butchers but it was nothing to write home about but they do sell tubs of curry sauce which are delicious.
Enjoy your day.

Good morning all from the Black country, looking very dull outside we had plenty of rain yesterday.
Will read through later crumpets are calling EV? and tablet needs charging.
Enjoy your day and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all from the Suffolk coast.
We have family here and as ginny says, we’ve been lucky with the weather. We all swam in the sea yesterday which was refreshing and invigorating.
Had a boat out in the local boating mere. DS1 rowed with dh, DIL and me relaxing . The 2 Gd’s had a kayak each and raced around us . We saw lots of wildlife , cygnets, ducklings and various species of geese.

Last night DS and dh went to a local footie match and us girls had a pamper evening, along with too many chocs and sweets.

Today will be crabbing and beach combing (weather permitting). It’s a trip down memory lane as we caravanned here when DS was a child and did all the same things.

Good luck to all with appointments and happy holidays to everyone taking a break. Have a good day all. ?

Good Morning everyone from ……….. where it’s actually raining! Something of a miracle, but good because we need to speed along the coast to the Apple shop for an appointment. A change from the greengrocers today?!

Have a safe, if very sad day, GG ?
Loved that photo Scentia
Good luck Mick. I’ll need another appointment soon.
corner only ever heard my Mum say ‘smuts’. Love it.
Take care of that bite, GrandmaB and take care of yourself, muse, too much struggling going on for a Wednesday!
I think the plant needs to look a bit bedraggled before you harvest the potatoes, Amsel - so hope the time is right for now.

Have a lovely day all, and find something to make you laugh - as lots of us did yesterday. It is the best medicine, after all.
Looks like - fingers crossed - the infections are diminishing. Let’s pray for continuing better news.

Hugs and good wishes to all. x ???☔️???

Good morning from a dull, grey Essex by the sea. We had a torrential downpour yesterday afternoon and it looks as though it rained in the night.
Another here who wears varifocals when not wearing contacts. I also have one lens for reading and one for distance.
Thinking of you today GG13 and of course the rest of the family. Safe journey.
I have to wait in today for my new passport to be delivered, I hope it comes early as I have a few errands to run.
I hope all goes well for you Marydoll.
I bought a beach towel yesterday with a pink flamingo on it, I couldn't resist. Not sure when it will get used.
Have the best Wednesday you can everyone xxx

Good morning from a damp S Welsh coast and the forecast is for more of the wet stuff today. Yesterday was warm and sunny for our family visit though our five year old is happy with colouring books and drawing. We enjoyed our meal out and when shown to our table, the little one said " you can sit by me " ?
I hope that your hospital procedure goes well Marydoll I'm sure they will look after you well.
Hope all goes well Granny G ?
Hope that Wednesday is kind to us all.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning from a grey and dull Black Country.

My friend and I drove over to a lovely cafe near Bridgnorth yesterday called The Stables. It is run by an ex-jockey. We sat outside as although cloudy was very warm. Arrived back at my friends about 3.30pm and the heavens opened! So we were quite lucky.

Off to Dunelms today to order curtains for the living room. It is all painted now, and sofa and chair being delivered on 19th August. New flooring down before that. Then need to find a new fluffy rug and cushions!

Wishing you all a good day, with special thoughts of of missing posters

Meant to say, I hope all goes well for you today Marydoll

Popping back to wish Marydoll all the best for her procedure today.

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it has rained during the night but it looks as though the sun may find a way through the clouds.
Mick varifocals are great but it may take a little while to adjust to them since you’ve been so used to bifocals.

A sad day for you GG13
Great photo Scentia.
I hope everything goes well Marydoll

Little pooch is off to the groomer today, she looks like a little teddy bear and must have been so hot for the past few weeks.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day.

Back again, safe journey GG on this sad day. Enjoy indoor golf kitty I won’t mention to MrJ, could give him ideas! muse, go gently on that leg, good luck with MrM sitting still. *Scentia, what a smashing photo, our GS’s stick sits by our front door, photo.
I have washing on, I’ll try and fit in some weeding, first day of coordinating for new voluntary job, a different procedure to learn. I need to ring the garage, my car says ‘oil service due in 23days’ I’ve only done 1200 miles in the last 10 months, might be a new car thing, could read the manual first.
Have a lovely day with all your outs and abouts, hope the ? shines and you spot a ? or ??.

Forgot photo of stick!

Good morning from a bright and sunny ?Northampton, but showers are forecast this afternoon.

Managed our health walk in the dry yesterday afternoon, but had a really heavy downpour when we got to the cafe, so had to sit inside. Spent an hour over coffee putting the world to rights! Another heavy shower with thunder in the early evening.

I should be going to book club this afternoon, but as the friend who takes me to yoga is also the one who gives me a lift to book club and she is in Majorca on a business trip it looks as though I shall not make it. A 45 minutes walk each way with the risk of heavy showers is not one I wish to take! I have emailed to say I may not make it.

Mick, I have been wearing varifocals for thirty years without any problems; I too have one short-sighted eye and one long-sighted.

I have decided I need to lose the 'pandemic' weight I put on, so I have downloaded the NHS weight loss app - it tells me I need to lose at least 7lbs, but ideally about 10-12lb would suit me. I would like to be able to get into my cruise clothes next year!

Wishing all a pleasant and safe day.

Good morning all from home in SW Herts. It is good to be back, cat sitters have left home clean and garden better than when we left it! Cats relaxed about having us home, see pictures!

This is the first day for nearly a month that we have been on our own, and can catch up. DH off to his voluntary work at the Cathedral, and I will pick up with the hospice. Booked the car hire for France yesterday, can always cancel up to the last minute, but we can live in hope.

GG13 will be thinking of you, and hoping all goes as well as you could hope. Marydoll good luck with your long delayed procedure. Take care everyone.

Good morning from Shetland where it’s cool and misty. After our swim yesterday we went for a shortish walk round a different headland where the sea got steadily rougher over the course of our walk.
We met a group of delightful, friendly Shetland ponies who enjoyed being fussed and lots of colourful and patterned Shetland sheep who just ran away as we approached.
Today’s plan is to get a ferry and head north to Yell. The most northerly island is Unst but the ferry there is only running very infrequently as it is a temporary replacement for the regular ferry which is undergoing repairs.
Take care and stay safe everyone.?

Oh ! B9your cats are beautiful! We had Siamese and Orientals for over twenty years and I love them. Now have a rescued moggy who is great but I miss the voices and antics of my Orientals.
Good luck todayMarydoll

Good morning from a slightly soggy Scottish Borders. Torrential rain last night for about ten minutes. Think we were lucky. Wash on, tea prepped and bread making being considered. Thinking of everyone especially those for whom today is particularly difficult. Ddog and DH drenched. The former quite oblivious but the latter not.

All the best for your treatment Marydoll ?

Good morning from sunny Sefton.
Our planned GP duty this afternoon is now cancelled as DGC have had coughs and obligatory tests - results pending. I’ve booked to do Tai chi this evening and am looking forward to it.
As always, the photos posted are delightful. That’s a beautiful image of your DGS Scentia.
GG13 ?
I hope all goes well for you today, Marydoll.
Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from Lancashire, where so far today it’s been rainy, sunny and cloudy. Suspect it will be hot and humid. Sending you all best wishes,hope the day goes well ?

Good Morning all from grey soon to be wet Harrogate. Greyduster we pack so much because we have to be prepared for every eventuality, simple!
Today will have to find out what I am going to do with a load of rapidly going off bananas! My banana bread only uses one - something to puzzle over.
DH has this hospital procedure on Friday but hasn't had a letter confirming it, so I hope we are not self isolating for nothing. When he gets back from dog walking, I will try to persuade him to phone the hospital because they wont tell me anything!
Hope your hospital trip goes well Marydoll
Lovely photo of your DGS, Scentia
I envy your trip to the shetlands, Gelisajams. somewhere I would have liked to go to, but I fear time is passing us by.

Have as good a day as you can, folks

Good morning from East Northants where it is dull outside after a day of intermittent showers, but I am enjoying catching up with Team GB’ s overnight medals. Not much happening today, wishing all with problems a peaceful day. Good luck Marydoll with your hospital visit, and all others whose names I can’t remember who have stuff going on. Lovely photos posted today!

Good morning from a very wet Co Armagh , the garden has a beaten down look ! But no doubt it will spring back.
Bit fed up about my daft son and family stuck in Spain , insisted on going , now DIL and GB have covid and the boys are testing , lovely holiday stuck inside ,
Marydoll hope all goes well and you get home safe and sound this evening xxx

Thank you GMJean, our cats are pretty to look at, but very hard work! They get bored easily, and then there is trouble, somewhat like grandchildren!
