Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry at the moment here in Brackley but cloudy , so will see what weather will be like later .
Today, my usual trip out to Bicester , I have also been busy selecting some future coach trips.
By what I gather the day trips are taking off with full coaches on some destinations .
Could be a sign as more people are not going elsewhere outside UK due to other countries restrictions that are still going.
My sister and husband would like to visit my niece in Canada ,but are unable to that countries restrictions.
Take Care,
Mick

madeleine45 you can still watch TV via iPlayer, ITVhub etc on a smart TV, computer, tablet. We had to do that when he first moved in as the house had no aerial.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Just sneaking in under the wire.
DS2 and family are arriving soon, bringing food,. Bless them.
I have put a cake in to bake, and we are having a coffee, before the storm that is GS no 7.
No, that's not right, as he was a pleasure to have here on the last visit.
What a lovely message from OldDudders. Please get well soon.
Hoping that GrandmaSomerset is having a better day today, and that all with aches, pains, or troubles, feel better soon.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning Mick and all from sunny Suet on Sea, Lancashire coast, just scraping in by the skin of my teeth.
At the moment am planting the babies offered by my spider plant in little pots, which I give away to people. Some take some don’t and the mother plant has just died as I think I have been overwatering her…
My daughter leaves for the south today after being here since Sunday and has organised so many things for me, techy stuff etc, she’s a blessing. Son at a wedding in Germany.
Just spilt glue after an attempt to put foil in a necklace which has lost one stone, it’s for the stage and ‘usually’ works out well.
Try again later.
Yes Mick, go on as many trips as you can, think of our long winters. I have two lined up and can’t wait.
Thoughts to harrigran scentia olddudders (I have low back pain, it’s a b****r), to the sick and the well.

Good morning, Michael and all! Well it was still morning when I started posting!?

I'm packing for a wee trip to Skye, hoping for better weather than we've had recently in North Lanarkshire.

So glad to read that Baby A is progressing well, Marydoll , and that Scentia's family are beginning to improve.

Enjoy your break this afternoon, GrannySomerset, it'll do you a power of good.

I hope things improve soon for Kitty's brother and Ash's DH

Thinking of those with illness or worries.
Sending love and prayers to all who need/wish them.???

I'm a bit late in the day but here goes. It's sunny in Crewe and I am just about to start a shift with Samaritans.

Grandmafrench maybe I shouldn't tell you this but I once turned around from a planned shopping trip because the road split with one lane saying "Warrington North" and the other "Warrington South" and I had no idea which I wanted !

It’s a bit late in the day to post I know, having just caught up after a shopping trip to our local centre where it was 50:50 to wearing masks or not. I just wanted to say what a lovely post from Oldudders, it brought tears to my eyes! I hope his back pain eases soon and he can reunite with*Ash*. Have a good day if you can everyone.
