Good morning to All and a very happy birthday Mick. No doubt you will fit in some cycling watching whilst, I will be watching the tennis from Madrid, as no doubt my GN friend Bellasnana will too.

Dear Mary how do you get yourself into those fixes?

My eldest DGS 11 is still ecstatic having won the Footie Final in their local Tournament in Horsham yesterday. The coaches took them out for waffles and ice cream afterwards. ?⚽️

Happy birthday Gwen! ??

I hope your DD's day isn't too troublesome, Chrissielou. ??

Happy birthday, Mick! Hope you have a good day.?

Good morning all and it’s rather overcast here in Essex.

Happy birthday Mick. Have a lovely day ?.

We had all the family here yesterday afternoon with cake and fizz for twins 16th birthday. A happy, jolly affair but oh soooo noisy! .
I took eldest Gd home and we had a heart to heart chat in the car. She had a few tears (I kept mine in) . She’s usually a very private, guarded person but she opened up. She goes back to Uni today and I’m a bit concerned about her. ?.

Today I’m picking up my friend to go to our U3A meeting and will book a day trip to Kentwell Hall in July. It’s a re-enactment day and I haven’t been since the children were small , so it should be fun.

Sar safe journey to your destination and enjoy your month away. ?.

Pants happy holiday! ☀️

Ash enjoy your last day with the family and hope your journey home is trouble-free. ?.

Wishing you all a lovely day ! ???

Marydoll, Lots of April/May birthdays = spring. Most animals bring forth in spring, so ditto humans, I suppose.

ShazzaKanazza Mon 02-May-22 08:11:16

Happy birthday to you too Gwen?

Grandmabatty Mon 02-May-22 08:10:20

Good morning all from cloudy Harrogate
Happy Birthday Mick. We are sharing birthdays today, but I am a few years older than you. Yes, Marydoll May is a popular month for birthdays, no idea why in particular, but I’m happy with the date!!
I have DGD coming this morning then this afternoon we all go to DD1’s house for my birthday party!!
Have a safe journey Pantglas
And Sars hope your journey too is safe. It’s a while since we did the drive through France, but it’s a beautiful country. Our day in Carcassonne was cold and wet!!
Hope your DHs days will get easier and he enjoys having his DD with him
Have the best day possible folks

Good Morning from a dull but dry Hull. The rain came to nothing it literally tickled the garden.

Have a very happy 74th birthday Mick and hope your day is everything you want it to be. ?
grandMattie thoughts to you both as always? enjoy your DD.
Pittcity, Pantglas and Sar safe journeys.
Ladyleftfieldlover. A very happy 6th birthday to your GD

MaryDoll I laughed at your post especially the slug on your head I would have hated that. I’ve added a pic of my GD stroking a huge slug yuk!! The girl loves her creepy crawlies.

Hello ? to people wishing Mick a happy birthday it’s a lovely thread.

Have a lovely day everyone and hope bank holiday Monday brings a moment of joy??

Chrissielou Mon 02-May-22 08:00:59

Happy birthday Mick enjoy your day.
It is a bit murky but not as cold here in Oxfordshire, we've not had much rain so the garden is still very dry. A heavy gardening day yesterday for DH and I but we are pleased with our efforts. I potted on 100 plants, baked cakes for today and walked the dog. My DS1 and DD1 and DGC are coming for afternoon tea today, which will be lovely. DD1 is having chemo tomorrow so that will keep her mind off what is essentially an unpleasant day.
Wishing everyone a happy Bank Holiday.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Mick ??

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s a grey wet one ?
I’ll get some letter written this morning and hope the weather cheers up later as I want to do something in the garden.

Have a good Bank Holiday and safe travels if you’re leaving or returning to the country or just moving around it ??

No Matt = Monday.

Good morning everyone from Malaga. A beautiful start to the day here and I just peeped out the front door - no clouds over the mountains - always the sign of a good day. We have no plans but will see where are desires take us (ahem!).

Himself is 70y this week. The reason really we came out for a cheeky visit. Another Taurean! Many happy returns of the day to you Mick. How many years have you been opening up for us all I wonder? Many thanks.
?

? to the couple of newbies upthread. Enjoy today all who can. Glad to hear the increased dose in the patches are kicking in for your husband grandMattie it must be a blessing all round. Pain relief isn’t an exact science. We can put a man on the Moon yet relieving pain seems an incredibly difficult task at times. x

Oopsadaisy1 Mon 02-May-22 07:39:38

Good morning from a dull Oxfordshire. Happy Birthday Mick enjoy your day??.

MissOops Ddog woke me up at 7 for a cuddle, not too early thankfully.
Bread to make today and then that’s it, although MrOops wants more cakes to be made.

Have a good day everyone, hugs for those having difficult times.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s grey and cloudy
Wishing a very Happy 74th Birthday to you Mick - enjoy your day! ???
Thanks Ashcombe I arrived safely back home yesterday after a lovely few days away at DD1s, a nice and easy journey and DH picked me up from the airport. Today I’ll be popping around to see DD2 and DGC here and catching up on a few jobs.
Your hotel sounds lovely Sar safe onward travels and you too Pantglas enjoy your time away.
Kind of your DD to visit GM and hope you get some rest later, remember to look after yourself too
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Pittcity Mon 02-May-22 07:29:34

Happy Birthday Mick from sunny Lisbon.
We are flying home this afternoon. This morning we will be shopping in the nearby Bullring and lunching by the hotel rooftop pool. Home by bedtime and back to normal by tomorrow.
Love to all ? x

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and looks gloomy. Happy birthday Mick. I hope you have a nice day. Marydoll I have a phobia of slugs. I once twisted my ankle trying to avoid one on a path when I was walking the dog. Grandmattie I hope you have a good nap this afternoon. Safe journey to Pantsglas and Sar.
Yesterday I managed to dismantle the old bed in the spare room and wrestle it out onto the drive. I've organised a special uplift too. In the process, I discovered a bag of paperwork from my last house so a happy hour was spent shredding.
I have no plans for today. I might go and buy new bedding for the new bed. As it's mainly for dgs1, I'll look for dinosaurs! Have a good day all.

Happy Birthday, Mick!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Mick ??enjoy your special day, and thank you for this thread every day.

Morning all

I am determined to have a lazy day, we have had 6 days of GC duties enjoyable but tiring.

grandMattie sleep always seems difficult to achieve when we need it most.

Safe journeys to those who are travelling.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?
