Good morning Mick, morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Huge congratulations on the safe arrival of your new granddaughter Shazza.

This morning we are going to do a supermarket shop for the Covid pair and will also pick up some M&S treats for them. It’s a long way just to drop things off at the door but I’ll feel better seeing them for a moment if only from a few feet away.

Hope everyone has a good day. ??

Good morning from a cool as yet Palma.
Big congrats to Shazza and all the family on her new GD. Lovely news and yes she is a big baby I’ve seen a photo.
We had a very long walk yesterday along the waterfront down to Molinar. Then had a menu del dia and walked back.

I think we will get a bus out somewhere today. This evening we are booked into the hotel restaurant that only opens Thurs to Sat. It gets excellent reviews so looking forward to that.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s a cool start with white cloud at present. ??? later is the forecast though. Goody.

I will put a wash load on soon - we have free electricity from 9am for two hours every morning. Himself jokes I HAVE to get my shower in at that time too. Yeah right.

My sister rang me yesterday. She & her husband retired along the coast to Estapona 18 months ago. She says they are settling in nicely and she feels more secure now all the necessary registration has been completed. It took months apparently to do everything. We made tentative arrangements to meet up late summer time. I haven’t seen her since our mum’s funeral four years ago owing to various reasons.

Have a good Thursday all who can. x

Good morning Mick and everyone from a bright Hull. 16 degrees today same as yesterday. ?

Last night at 8 o’clock our new granddaughter was born safe and well at home. We went over to see her while the midwives were clearing up. She’s a little beauty with masses of dark hair and 9lb 4. My DD is a slender girl so you can imagine the bump size.
Feel happy but also sad for all those mothers in Ukraine who weren’t as lucky to have a baby in warmth and safety ? such terrible war crimes going on.
Today we will go back over and looking forward to pics of big sister meeting her baby sis this morning.
Have a lovely day everyone and hope Thursday brings moments of joy?

Morning Mick, morning All from a mild, damp corner of Somerset

Been busy hosting friends. Really enjoying their company bit goodness, I’d forgotten how tiring it can be. They’re off home after lunch and I plan to do - nothing

Apologies, I’ve not kept up with everyone’s days.

Take care, hope Thursday is gentle with us all.

Morning Mick and all

Haven’t opened the curtains yet, so no idea what it’s like outside, I am enjoying the peace and quiet.

Sorting out the two big spare rooms today, making up the beds etc (I really dislike making up beds)

We have the Imp late afternoon as his brother is going to another birthday party, he is extremely happy that he scored the first goal in his first football tournament yesterday. (The 7yr old not The Imp)

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good Morning Mick, Beechnut and all who follow from a cloudy south coast. 11c and set to be around that temperature all day.

I have two parcels to return from online buys and also visit the library this morning. This afternoon it's WI, which is always enjoyable. Luckily I had a better sleep so should not be falling asleep in the talk from a local lavender farmer!

DD completed on her flat and got the keys yesterday and moved some things in. The big move is tomorrow when the bed and sofa are due to be delivered. She will then get it all put to rights over the weekend with the help of her DS and DH. We may go to view on Sunday but not definitely decided yet. Depends on a number of things.

Sending positive vibes to GM and all who have worries or health problems and especially to all those suffering so much in and from Ukraine. It's a nightmare scenario.

Take care everyone and have the best day you can. sunshine

Morning Mick and Beechnut from a dry and lightening north Wales ??????? - St Tudno hotel in Llandudno is lovely with fabulous food and views over the bay!

I’m trotting to town there later for bits and pieces for the ‘oliday and might treat us to ☕️ and ? if I’m allowed a wander around TKMaxx....Mr PG is easily led?

Will pop back later and read about all your doings - hope those unwell or with loved ones suffering, have a better day ?

Good morning, all, from a calm and cloudy Torbay.

Yesterday afternoon, some of us struggled to stay awake for a talk about Timbuktu at Wednesday Club! I did my best to look interested since I was hosting but the warmth of the room and the soporific voice of the speaker made staying alert difficult.

No plans for today, not least because DH is still not fully recovered from his alendronic infusion from 10 days ago. Next time we must avoid plans in the fortnight following the treatment.

Wishing you all a good day. ??????

A very late (for me) Good morning from a bright E Kent.
I was out a my Lent prayer group last night and saw the new new moon clutching the just visible old moon. Lovely sight.
I took a herbal sleeping pill last night, cause of my “late” rise.
I hope DH has slept with all these painkillers inside him.
I’ve got beds to change, etc., today. DD has decided to visit, which will cheer her dad up no end.
Have a good day, dear virtual friends, Carpe diem. ?????☀️❤️??

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s dry and just getting light.

It’s bedroom and bathroom cleaning today and I might pamper myself later.

After ironing and sewing yesterday I looked through my clothes and realised there are some that either haven’t been worn yet or haven’t seen the light of day for a while. I hope to change that with the coming seasons.

Have a good day all and hope there aren’t too many worries ???

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a twilight start again this morning , it looks like the start of nice day with seasonal temperatures.
Today , bus travel to Bicester and back to watch the cycling on TV.
I received notification of a coach trip mystery weekend ,a one night stop over , I worked out the clue awhile ago , Saint Tudno is where its heading.
Also looked into a Harrogate return, but by rail,and self booking a Hotel , the one I used when I last did it seems to be back to normal as regards to things.
Take Care,
Mick
