Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and dry outside without any wind of strong terms in brackley this morning.
Today ,after housework I will get the bus to Bicester for my usual routine .
Also looking ahead as to my weekend in York , assuming the floods have not reach there ,as the hotel is alongside the river Ouse as well.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all,

Yet another blustery and showery day in South Yorkshire. It calmed down a bit yesterday pm, but has returned.
The bun men have just been, so I’d better go and retrieve the bin before it blows away.

Will come back to read all the posts later.

Take care.

Bin men, that should say ??

My goodness, I am very late this morning! Was pre-occupied as I had to ring the surgery at 8 to get an appointment to speak to a doctor, which I have since done. Must have been near the top of the phone queue. Blood test booked for Thursday.

Anyway, good morning from a dull and windy Northampton. Hope to walk this afternoon, but must be home by 4pm as a man is coming to give me a quote to clean the sitting-room suite.

Managed to survive the showers and wind yesterday without the fence falling over (fingers crossed!).

Had a lovely lunch out yesterday with a teaching colleague from the 1970s, and her DH. We were impressed with the pub we went to, lovely food and atmosphere. Afterwards they came back here for coffee where we spent a happy afternoon chatting.

Then disaster! Managed to block the bathroom loo! Left it overnight, looked up remedies on the internet, and it is now sorted. The advice was to pour in washing-up liquid, leave to soak and then pour down a gallon of hot water. Left again to work, flushed, and hey presto! all clear now. Had visions of rubber gloves, plunger and a bucket, but none of those needed.

Now to pop back and read everyone's 'doings'.

Take care and stay safe.

Good morning Mick and all from a sunny northwest coast.
Out today for the first time in a few days after the storms. I’m singing this afternoon at our music club but my acid reflux has caused a lot of coughing and croaky throat. Triggered by sumptuous meal with my sister and red wine last week.
I’m going to visit my friends mother in nursing home too after singing, she had a fall and lay on her floor for 15 hours before help arrived. Didn’t use her alarm as didn’t want to disturb anyone!
Thoughts to Scentia Fanny grandmattie and Iris.

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
Sending the very best of wishes to Scentia and her DH.
Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Baubles.
I am very pleased with my radiator makeover. I gave it a second coat of wax this morning and buffed it up. Looks good.
Marydoll you must take it easy, have a lazy day.
Also sending best wishes to GrandMattie's Iris for her operation. One brave little girl.
Have a good day one and all.

I have missed some messages so hope that people in hospital are doing well and that their families are getting good news and able to be freed from the stress. grandmadinosaur and shazzakunazza I wonder where you both are I am in Northallerton and come across to east riding quite a bit. I was at school in Beverly High School ( a very long time ago!) and love going across the wolds to Brid or whitby. There does not seem to be a lot of people from this area. It has been a bit wild and windy today but hopefully the wind will help to dry places up. There have been floods up in the dales and still some of those very stupid people who for some reason think that road flooded do not pass, does not apply to them, and they dont know how quickly the road dips and end up with flooded cars. I did hospital car for over 10 years and definitely used to know all the different ways to avoid the floods around Keld and Hawes and many different little by ways that you need to know. York does not look good at the moment and dont know how well the floodwater will have dropped before the weekend so hope that Mick will be lucky. Hope you all keep dry and safe and still have power on
