Good morning Mick and all his followers. It’s another beautiful day here in West Suffolk. I shouldn’t be awake this early after a very busy weekend but I did sleep very well. DH is still sound asleep.
After a lovely family weekend with lots of baby cuddles, we have DGS & DGD today and tomorrow. DGS came out in spots yesterday with chicken pox so I expect he will be pretty miserable. We have to clear our bedroom for the decorator and pack for our holiday, so I hope they are up for helping.
DGD and I have some seedlings to pot on too, or they will be past it when we get home.
I hope the daughters are all doing well with their treatments - how did the op go Kitty ?
Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry, bright and at long last it seems to be getting a bit warmer.

I love those early morning pictures Ash thanks for sharing, I can just imagine you both tip toeing out in your pjs - brilliant

Today I’m hoping to carry on pottering and tidying up in the garden - it’s where I’m happiest when I’m not with the family. DD2 and family are all off on a weeks caravan holiday to Ayr today so they’re all excited - I’ll miss them though

The quilt looks super GM, how you manage to fit everything in and do everything you do is amazing,

Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Morning Mick and all

It’s dry here in S E Essex, I am off to the gym later and GrandpGravy is having The Imp for a couple of hours.

Beautiful quilt grandMattie you are so talented.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Morning Mick, morning All from a clear corner of a Somerset. Not quite so cold

Did little yesterday, neither of us felt energised. Dust removal and some routine admin stuff today before a long phone chat with a good friend.

That quilt is beautiful grandmattie, hope today is a calm one for you. We have bibles belonging to my ma in law and my paternal grandmother. Both contain, amongst other things, palm crosses. Goodness knows how old they are.

Hope Monday is gentle with us all.

Good morning Mick, morning all from dry and cool South Lanarkshire.

DD and family arrived home last evening, I had a job keeping the little one up but it was worth it to see their happy reunion.

We came home to our quiet, peaceful house and collapsed almost immediately into bed. Exhausted but very happy to have had the opportunity to spend a week with the little one.

Your quilt is a thing of beauty Mattie.

I’m off to work and will be in all week as the manager is on annual leave as it’s school holidays and she has young children.

Have the best day possible everyone. ??

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 4°. Quiet, grey skies above. My Fitbit says I slept for two hours last night and I can well believe it! No particular reason, but a bad night. grandmattie that quilt is a work of art and beautiful. Ashcombe what beautiful surroundings! How lovely to live there.
Yesterday I had a very nice catch up with a friend who I haven't seen for months. We blethered for hours and I came home happy. I pottered about the rest of the day.
Today I feeling washed out after my bad night with a bit of a headache. I had planned to go to the local garden centre later but I'll see how I feel. I have cakes to bake as I'm having dgs1 tomorrow. Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dull but dry Hull.
grandMattie that quilt is gorgeous and made with love. ?
Ashcombe the pictures are beautiful.

Today DS is dropping off DGS on his way to work so it’s going to be a long day. We’ll go to the park and he’ll play in the garden. I’m going to make his favourite banana loaf which he may help with. Son will have his dinner with us after work it’s a chilli.
Have a good day everyone and hope Monday brings a moment of joy??

Good morning from a clear, bright E Kent.
Had a curate’s egg ish night so overslept this morning. No need to worry, Gaga, but thank you.
The Sunday curse struck again yesterday. (If anything is to go wrong, it’ll be on a Sunday, when people are off…). Fortunately, the district nurse arrived soon after DH was sick and she gave him extra anti emetic. A shame as he was having a good week. He spent the day dozing, went to bed at 7 pm and then didn’t sleep much through the night.
I’m off later to take my nursing home friend her birthday present for tomorrow, together with a palm cross. I don’t know if anyone would have remembered her in her village.
A bit of housework, then completely finish my quilt. Only the traditional initials and date to put on.
Carpe diem, dear friends. ?????

Good morning all from a fine Sarthe day again.

Like you, Gagagran, we have a beautiful sunrise as the first photo shows. We tiptoed through the dew in our PJ's to capture it, whereas yesterday it was frosty as the other two photos show.

I hope this is the start of a good week for weather and health for you all, especially for grandMattie's DH. ??????

Good Morning everyone from a milder (7c) south coast. A beautiful sunrise this morning and hopefully a nice week as DS and his family are off on holiday to the Brecon Beacons.

We have a visit from DGD and her Mum today (or tomorrow if not) as she is home from university and always calls in to see us when she comes back. She is our first born DGC and is very dear to us.

Ironing beckons and meal-making but nothing else on the agenda. No doubt gentle pottering will be the order of the day.

As always, I am thinking of GM and others with health problems and other worries. We are all virtual friends on here and yet the concern felt is genuine. flowers

Have the best day you can everyone. sunshine

Morning all from a possibly dry West Oxfordshire. Laundry this morning and our Waitrose delivery. Off to a friend’s house after lunch for a Craft afternoon. This is the house where four weeks ago, five out of six of us got covid! I am still having moments of fatigue. I was in bed by 9 pm last night!

Good morning Mick and all who follow.
Not sure why I’m awake so early, but it’s cold and dry in our part of Oxfordshire.
Housework and laundry today then a walk out with DDs dog.
And that’s it.
Hope all who follow have a good day and hugs for those who have worries and unwell family members.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry but cloudy here in brackley this morning, a quiet day of housework plus a small shop.
I am hoping to start and get into my regular routine again as well, but with care.
Take Care,
Mick
