Good Morning Everyone,
Its daylight here in brackley nice and clear sky at the moment as well.
Plans for the day , I aim to go via Buckingham to Bicester and catch up with friends ,and then plan to return direct from Bicester , to watch Milan -San Remo cycle race on TV to watch the crucial bits .
But I will have a crack at Wordle before breakfast as well.
Take Care,

Good morning all from another sunny day in the Black country, could get used to this.
Over to friends in Redditch this evening, nothing planned for the day perhaps some work in the garden.
Washing just finished and full English calling so will catch up with everybody's happenings later.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed, enjoy your Saturday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all from a sunny S Hants. I had one of those phone calls at about 10am yesterday from my son’s GF ‘ he’s had an accident at work, ambulance on its way’ a long day followed. After some hours at Southampton hospital, then Salisbury (plastics) he was home about 9pm he’d nicked the artery in his wrist with a butchers knife. It’s bandaged in a sling for a week. NHS amazing as always.
Minor compared to some of your own and your families health problems, but shook me up.
May all of you struggling have a better day today ??.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. It’s another beautiful day in Suffolk so I shall do a bit more in the garden. We tidied the greenhouse out yesterday and now it looks lovely again.
There are three back to back rugby matches later but I fear England will not succeed. There’s some odd team selection there!
Best wishes to kitty & chrissielou as they support their daughters. kitty I am glad the news was fairly positive but it’s still so hard.
Enjoy the weather everyone and I hope the day is kind to us all.

Good morning,

Another beautiful day ahead by the looks of things. It got quite warm yesterday and I think today will be the same.

Hope to get into the garden today to do some general tidying. It’s so lovely seeing so many plants beginning to burst into life again.

? for all of you with troubles, worries or illness. Take care.

Pleased you had a happy birthday yesterday hulahoop.

Take care everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a beautiful blue skied Oxfordshire, although it’s only 4 degrees so a bit nippy.

Nothing much on today yet again, MrOops is still poorly with Covid and is still testing positive, my cold is much better, but I, too started with earache last night and it’s still there this morning, I’m also still testing positive on day 7.
Maybe earache is yet another symptom to add to the Covid list?
However, plenty of pills should quieten it down enough for me to get into the greenhouse and plant some seeds.

Have as good a day as possible and hugs to those with illness and worries.

Good morning Mick, good morning all from wonderful sunny Anglesey where lambs are gambolling in green fields, daffodils smiling in the hedgerows and Orlin is whistling as he prepares bacon butties.
Lots of gardening and a long walk planned today.
I’m sorry to hear of so many struggles and hope a touch of sunshine lifts low spirits and you all have a better day.
sunshine??sunshine??

Good morning from sunny East Yorkshire.

Sending love and thoughts to Chrissielou and * Kitty* and there DDs going through the journey. ?
GMattie please look after yourself too I know it’s easier said than done ?
My meet up with Shazza was lovely yesterday and I am sure we could have carried on chatting for much longer than time allowed ?

I think we are taking GS a run out to the coast this morning which we will all enjoy.

That must have been a worrying day Jaxjacky hoping your son makes a speedy recovery.

Take care everyone

Thank you EVERYBODY.
I retired to bed at about 1700, leaving poor DH to his own devices. I have no idea what he ate, when h3 went to bed…. I got up at 0530 this morning having slept most of that time.
Not fine, but feeling a great deal better with my “wonky” pills inside me.
You are avery dear lot of people. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Good morning from a sunny W Kent, off to look for birthday card for GS4 this morning, also loads of books to charity shops.
gMattie glad you got some sleep I expect you have another busy day ahead.
Best wishes to all.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside, northwest coast.
Oh grandMattie what a hard time for you, sending a ((hug))?
Hopefully will see the G&S show this afternoon after days of the bad stomach. Struggled through art group then rehearsal yesterday followed by supermarket shopping and felt awful, what bliss to come home and settle down watching Lumley in Paris. I must be one of the few people who dislike her, perfection personified, but I like Paris!
Hope you have a good day and thoughts to all with troubles.
Recent card wot I painted.

Good morning all from blue skies and sunshine in South Yorkshire. Isn't it just lovely ????
Gardening and sewing planned for today. Can't do much else... Day 4 of covid and feel more or less normal.... Bit of a cough and a bit tired so pottering around suits me fine ?
Love and good wishes to all those with troubles ? and wishing you all a good day x

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. Beautiful bright, sunny day here.
We get up later and later these days, staying in bed with a cuppa and reading our ipads or a book.
Anyway, I am showered and hairwashed, so reasonably ready to face the day. My new shoes are ready to be collected, and our new sheets arrived yesterday, eventually.
GrandMattie, so pleased to hear that you looked after yourself and had a decent night's sleep. Your magnolia looks beautiful. Our neighbour has one and it is always a treat to see.
Best wishes to all those Covid sufferers and any who need a bit of cheer.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning from sunny West Sussex. Just a quick look-in as DH is moving slabs at the allotment and will be ready for me to bring his coffee.
Sympathy to the sufferers from Covid, wobbly tums and other afflictions. Glad Grandmattie is a little better this morning. Scary phone call for you JaxJacky but good that your son is fixed up.
Flask filled I will hop on my bike and bring relief to the worker.

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s a lovely sunny day in my corner of Lancashire and set fair for the weekend, currently 11°C.

This morning I’m doing laundry so I can take advantage of the perfect drying weather. Mr. B is in the shed doing man stuff. Another walk this afternoon.

Try to rest Grandmattie, you must look after yourself too.

Enjoy your walk Chrissielou, it’s good for the soul to get away from cares and worries, out enjoying nature.

Glad you had some sleep Ashcombe.

Happy Birthday to your son kim19

Encouraging news for your DD kittylester, it will not be an easy path, but at least there is a path.

What a shock about your son Jaxjacky hope he’s soon well.

Whatever you’re doing I hope you all have a good day and find a random flamingo or two ??

May all those with worries find some comfort and all who are under the weather find some relief.
