Oh Scentia that did make me laugh out loud about your MP.
Good Morning everyone from Severnside. I have looked out and it’s dark.

Going to do my weekly shop and can’t make up my mind whether to go further afield and go to an Asda for a change.

I don’t think Matron will be picky Pant the more the merrier and the only thing you’ll be infectious with will be laughter.

Looks like the new fence my neighbours have put up is finished and they have decided to go right to the end of our gardens. It looks better but I feel a tad ‘shut in’ even though it’s not high. I’ll get used to it and the bushes will grow and the flowers will bloom once again.

Have a good day all ???

Good morning from Shropshire.

An early start today as doing the morning school run as well as the afternoon.We have kitten cupcakes to take over ready for DGD’s sixth birthday party tomorrow.Luckily we had practised making them a couple of weeks ago so this batch actually look like kittens?

I hope Dollie managed to enjoy her birthday yesterday Mary?

Mick, DH and I both had sore arms after the booster,found it lasted about 24 hours so take it easy today.

Hope all in sick bay are feeling better today??thoughts with all struggling??

A very late (for me) good morning from E Kent. The sun is rising and the sky looks wonderful in the pastel pinks and oranges of dawn.
I slept very well for the first time in ages. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for the last 4 months. GP is totally uninterested so I have taken advice from previous sufferers and ordered a boot to keep my ankle flexed overnight. Although initially uncomfortable, I wasn’t woken up several times during the night by the pain! Hope the pain carries on getting easier.
I’m out to lunch in .deal with my lovely tai chi friend whose birthday was yesterday. It’s nice to go out occasionally.
May today bring peace to you all especially those who are suffering in any way. Carpe diem. ???☀️?☀️??☀️☀️

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dark but dry and seems mild. The trees are still. I can’t believe we still don’t need the heating on and are sleeping under the summer duvet. Very strange.

I can see the red lights winking on a plane as it comes in to land in the distance. Manchester airport is about 10 miles away and although we aren’t on the flight path we can see arrivals and departures from our balcony doors.

The plan later this morning is to strip the bed, shower, wash my hair, put on clean pj’s, remake the bed and climb back in it. Tissues and water to hand. I’ve cancelled meet ups with friends we had planned over the next few days. I think I will ask Himself to pick up a lateral flow test from one of the chemists downstairs. I expect it will be negative but best to make sure, even though I’m not up to going anywhere anyway.

Heard last night that our 9y old Boy Wonder is the junior school chess champion - he won the tournament!
?

Kettle’s boiled. Time for a brew. Enjoy Friday all who can. Autumn is racing along isn’t it?

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is dark but feels quite mild.
Rest up Mick if your arm is still aching it can get quite heavy I have heard.
An extra day of Nanna duties today as GM has covid. DGS is at playgroup and I will have a meander around town with the baby and a visit to the library too.
Then this afternoon I have a meeting with my MP, so the children will come with me, she will remember me and what I want her to do for me after that I can assure you???
The new mattress was nice last night but I don’t think DH will like it as he kept saying how bouncy it was!! Well he can sort out a return in 40 days if that’s the case, we will see just how much he doesn’t like it then!!
Have a good day everyone and keep smiling.

Morning Mick from a fellow pin cushion! Had my ?? on Wednesday and slept in yesterday so was late clocking in then kept getting error messages?

Sorry to read you’re unwell Baubles and Urms - such a busy time in the sick bay, don’t suppose Matron will look kindly on me with an achy arm ??

DH has to have a blood test this pm in Bangor and we’ll pop in to a new farmers market being opened at the local Gin distillery on the way home - apparently it’s being launched by Sian Lloyd (C4 weather)!

Will pop in later to read your bizzinesses including the update on shampooing at Marydoll Mansion - I’d loved to have been a fly on a wall there!?

Good Morning Michael and all who follow, still dark here in Oxfordshire. Hope you are okay after your jab, Michael, I had my flu jab yesterday, no probs so far.
Out to lunch today, which I was looking forward to, but not now I know who’s going! It was going to be us and 3 old friends but one is now bringing a ‘young lady’not sure how I feel about that, I’m not good with new people and if she is young……….
Anyway, not for me to judge, I just need to rearrange my face so that I don’t look disapproving. Times like this I wish I was outgoing.
Apart from that nothing much to do today
Hope all who follow will have a good day and a hug for those who have worries.
