Good morning from East Yorkshire where it is a little bit brighter than the last few days.
Yesterday was a quiet day for us. DH is in need of new work trousers but with little choice on the High street theses days where to look? The couple of options in the city centre didn’t solve his problem. The only other solution is to travel to a larger city or Leeds or York or online. He’d looked online before to no avail but digged deeper and ordered some that fit the bill from Farah website.
Today I’ll catch up with laundry and housework.
Ash hope you can get to the bottom of your virus and on the track to recovery soon.
Have a good day and take care all

Good morning all from Cheshire.
Woke early this morning. Morrison's delivery in a couple of hours so may have a poke around in the fridge and see if anything dead or dying lurking at the back ? not much else on today.
Will come back later and read posts. Wishing all the best day possible.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. After a wet weekend the weather is on the up.
We have 2xDGS staying.
DH is taking 10 year old fishing while 5 year old and I tackle shopping and housework via the swings!!!
Wish me luck.
Love to all x

Good morning all from a cloudy S Hants. Family BBQ went well, it stayed dry.
A bit of admin and housework today.

Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from Severnside. Warm and overcast here.

Off to top up the car with fuel and get some compost are my morning jobs. I’ll have my lunch while watching The Coroner on tv. I do like where her house is situated with the view from the windows.

Take care all and especially those with worries and ills ?

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a dull Black country.
Welcome fatgran57 that's a lot of books you could open your own library.
Ash I hope that you can get sorted ready for your long awaited trip ?.
Nothing planned today so the duster may get an airing.
May you all have the best day you can and may you all find some ?.

Good morning everyone from a very grey and overcast Northampton. Not much planned for today, but will try to finish off trimming the lawn edges - started yesterday afternoon, but had to come in before I was done, as it came on to rain ☔.

Apart from that, more reading and knitting, and the daily puzzle page in the newspaper. Oh I forgot; expecting a delivery of printer ink today, so will have a go at changing the ink. Never done it before. Wish me luck.

Hoping today is kind for all.

Good morning from cloudy West Berkshire.

A bit of house work this morning and an extra shift at the foodbank this afternoon. Through the school holidays we are providing food for an extra 400 children a week who would normally receive free school meals so we are very busy , and running out of donations.

Have as good a day everyone.

Good morning from E Kent. Is that the sun peeping through the clouds? Goodness!
Poor you, Ash, hope you manage to get over whatever ails you, so you can join olddudders.
Had an unexpected joy yesterday. DS2 came for the night, for his mum to mollycoddle him! He seems a lot better. But what is it with those men who think that taking some painkiller (even when prescribed) is a sign of weakness?
Usual cleaning today. I also have to wash and label my piccalilli, before putting it away.
May our missing posters be ok - EV and Taichinan spring to mind.
I hope that today is full of metaphorical sunshine ☀️. ???

Good morning, Mick and other early risers from a bright Torbay! Welcome, fatgran57!

Thank you all for your warm support over this wretched virus. Yesterday, I cancelled all commitments so I can concentrate on my recovery. This morning I have an appointment with a practice nurse (I hope she's perfect!!! ?) so will come back later if anything worth telling.

Have as good a week as circumstances allow with relief from cares and worries for those with problems of any kind. ??☀️

Good morning everyone - it is actually 2.15 pm here in Tasmania.

Nice sunny day, we have been out early taking a carload of old books, records, interesting items up to Launceston to put in an auction. The start of my clearing 50 years of collecting but only clearing things we no longer look at etc. Certainly not starting on our good things yet!

Children are not interested so we would rather let things go to people who will treasure them rather than think they will end up on the tip.

Feel very sad at starting to let my books go but I have 15 or so packed bookcases so it will take a while to sort them out.

Best wishes to everyone following and thinking of Rufus
