Good morning everyone, it’s a bit dull but dry here in Co Armagh
Happy birthday Mick
I hope the patches give your OH a bit of peace GM
Eldest DD and SIL are due home from Co Fermanagh where they have a caravan , she has sent us some fabulous photos so I think it has gone well
The wild Cherry in the garden is at its best just now , so dainty and graceful it was in a pot for years hence the strange shape

Happy Birthday Mick and to others too who share this special date.
Day 5 of having Covid for me- seem worse today than I did yesterday when I felt almost back to normal! Husband on day 3.
This morning I seem to be coughing, sneezing more than ever and have a headache. Not v optimistic my test will be -ve later.
Enjoy the Bank Holiday folks, if you can, and happy holidays to those on, or about to go away.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning all from grey skies in East Yorkshire.

Wishing Mick and Gwen a very happy birthday today enjoy your day ??

We had a relaxing day yesterday picking up toiletries for our hols , a coffee out and we got a Sunday lunch delivered from a local restaurant we often used in lockdown. Delicious.

No plans as yet today will go with the flow as they say.

Another slug hater here ugh horrid things. Oh Shazza your GD ? kids don’t bother do they?

Safe journey home Pittcity and anyone else travelling today.

Take care all.

Happy Birthday Mick...?

Happy Birthday Gwen - enjoy your party later! ????

Hoping things get a bit better for your DGD Gingster I’m sure your chat helped

Thinking of you and your DD tomorrow Chrissilou

Many happy returns, Mick and Gwen, and all with imminent birthdays!?
We are in Ibiza, celebrating my husband's 70th on Wednesday. Best wishes to all on holiday/travelling.
Thinking of all suffering/recovering from Covid, take care. Sending love and prayers for those with illness, worries or sorrow. ??

Good morning everyone from another overcast day in Northampton. Happy birthday ? to Mick and Gwen! I hope you both have a lovely day.

I did not have good night, but must have nodded off, as I awoke to find a cat asleep on my head! I'm afraid I left her there, as it felt comforting......

My new laptop was delivered safely yesterday morning, so I was able to do my afternoon outing. Friends and I visited a nearby village, Great Brington, where they had an open gardens day. It is the nearest village to Althorp, Princess Diana 's home, and is very pretty. There were several gardens open, all very different , but all amazing, ranging from tiny cottage gardens to rolling acres (almost!). Afterwards we repaired to the church where refreshments were served; the home-made cakes were delicious. We had a good look around the church, viewed the Spencer family chapel, and I lit a candle for my dear late DH. Looking forward to visiting more gardens over the summer.

No plans for today, will just potter, read, knit, catch up on tv programmes. Might amble up to the garden centre if it stays dry.

Wishing all a pleasant bank holiday.

Good morning from a dull an cloudy Black Country.

Tested positive yesterday not surprising as MrJ tested positive last Monday. I feel quite rough, it is like a heavy head cold.

I was meant to travel to Stamford Wednesday to stay with a friend for a few days, tickets all bought for train and she has booked days off work! I am yet to break the news to her today. Hopefully she can cancel the days off work and rearrange?

Happy birthday Mick, have a great day

Welcome to the thread pollychat

Happy Birthday Gwen

Ginster so sorry your GD is feeling down it’s so great she can pour her heart out to you.
Ginny lovely 1st birthday pic such a handsome little man.
Mamaa hope you feel better soon, we were the same in 2020 one day feeling better with energy the next flat out again. It’s such a strange virus.

Happy Birthday Mick. Enjoy your peaceful day - and thanks for the great job you do all year long in opening this thread .
No greetings from the Angus coast today as I'm in Perthshire in taxi duty for DGDs while DD and New Man are off up north for a couple of days bagging Munroes. After an early bright start it has turned into a grey day. Off soon to take DGD1 back to College in Dundee - she decided she wanted to join her sister and me yesterday as she hadn't seen me for ages. So lovely. Then it's back here to prepare an early meal before taking DGD2 to her hotel in Highland Perthshire for her evening shift. It's not a dull life! Have a great day everyone, whether travelling or at home and as always, thoughts to those who are poorly or caring for loved ones x

Good morning everyone, I’ll go back and catch up in a moment but wanted to say Happy Birthday to Mick I hope you have a great day and that you enjoyed the Morris Men yesterday. We used to frequently take the children and the dog for a walk after work and stop at a pub on the way home to all have a drink and watch the Morris dances.

There’s a beautiful blue sky here today and as yesterday was an extremely warm 26°, I would expect the same today but the forecast is rain.

Happy Birthday Gwen have a lovely day ??

So sorry for you NannyJ covid and a cancelled trip! ?☕️

Good Morning to you all from a pleasant, mild day in Cambs., on this bank holiday Monday.

"Many Happy Returns", Mick, I hope you enjoy your special day. .

Also wishing Gwenisgreat a very happy Birthday, have a good day, .

We, too, have lots of family & friends Birthdays in May, a popular month!

Warm wishes to all with added worries for themselves & their loved ones.

Happy birthday Mick

We were rudely awakened by a house alarm going off at 6.15. I tried to go back to sleep but without success.

The only thing I have to do today is food shopping, with DH as I am still unable to drive following an ankle injury. Another week and I will be able to try driving again.

Lots of other things I could do, but I will see how the day goes. I do like long weekends!

Morning from East Renfrewshire where I stayed with youngest DD and family after a lovely celebration yesterday of my friends 80th birthday. Going to Silverburn shortly for 7 year old DGS to choose clothes with the birthday money he received last week, he has very definite tastes!

Later I am taking 9 year old DGD out for lunch, just the two of us, she will love that (me too!)

Happy birthday Mick, I hope you enjoy your relaxed day, and happy birthday to Gwen too.

Thinking about your daughter Chrissielou as I always do.

Wishing everyone a good day ???

Happy Birthday Mick have a lovely birthday and Happy Birthday Gwen too

Happy Birthday Gwen too.

Thank you to those who posted pictures of their lovely GCs

Good morning and Happy Birthday Mick and Gwen from the Scottish Borders.
Dull and overcast today after such a beautiful May Day.

I was at the Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh to enjoy the rhododendrons, including an exhibition of illustrations and fabric. Then to DS's for tea. Now they have a dog, lovely gardens are mostly out of bounds. apart from mine
Quite a few beaches are dog free too.

Last night I watched West Side Story, the new Spielberg version and enjoyed it. Though I missed Natalie Wood as Maria

Today I am waiting in for a smart meter to be installed. I can't remember why I agreed to this. I think it is just putting more people out of work.

Take care everyone. Thinking especially of grandMattie and Chrissielou today

Happy Birthday gwenisgreat ??

Oh dear Gingster I have been a chaperone at Kentwell for our primary school more times than I can remember…

Happy Birthday to Mick and Gwen. Can I share your day, I'm 77 today. Usual walk on beach with my dog this morning, then afternoon shift in RNLI shop from 1pm.

A very Happy Birthday Mick, Kupari and Gwen, have a wonderful day

Good morning Mick and everyone. It’s another dreich day in my corner of Lancashire, currently 11°C.

No plans for today other than a leisurely stroll. My gait improves daily and it’s not a race.

Hello and welcome Pollychat. I don’t think I’ve seen you before but my memory isn’t always reliable .

A warm welcome to any new members I have missed recently.

Fingers crossed for your DD tomorrow Chrissielou

Safe journey to all our intrepid travelling grans and enjoy your hols.

Thinking of all our grans going through difficult times, virtual hugs and love to all .

Wishing everyone the best day possible and a few ??? along the way.
