Good Morning Monday 2nd May 2022

Happy birthday, Mick, enjoy your day. There seem to be a lot of May birthdays, my DIL's today, Dollie's best friend's today, DD's on Wednesday and mine next week. I'm curious as to why May is such a busy birthday month!.

Yesterday turned out to be a bit of a disaster. I reluctantly did a supermarket shop, as the fridge was bare after our holiday.
I spotted a pack of non alcoholic beer, which I had tried on holiday and decided to buy some.
As I struggled to get it from the bottom shelf, I didn't notice it was damaged, a bottle flew out, rolled across the floor, spraying beer everywhere! ?
I went into teacher mode trying to stop people walking through it. There was beer all over the aisle and I smelled like a brewery! I was the butt of many humorous comments ( typical Glasgow humour) from customers, about drinking so early on a Sunday morning. ☺

I then noticed hydrangeas at half price. I thought they would be ideal to fill an empty spot we have in the garden. As I endeavoured to get the plant down, ( why are these things on a high shelf?), I felt something wet on my hand. It was a tiny slug! ?! Yukk, yukk, yukk!! ?

I have no plans for today, apart from tidying up the post holiday detritus, which I can't be bothered sorting. I am still struggling with this awful cough and fatigue.
At least DH is golfing and I can do my blissful own thing in my empty.?

Pants, safe journey and for all those on holiday, have a wonderful time.
Whatever your plans are for today, I wish you a pleasant one, especially if you have mountains to climb. ?

Morning Mick, morning All from a murky corner of Somerset. Can’t decide if it’s low cloud or mist out there.

A very happy birthday Mick. Enjoy your quiet day, hope you’ve something tasty to eat.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. A treat to be with the whole family and enjoy a delicious Chinese meal together. Today will be much quieter and I suspect much less active.

Safe travels to those with journeys ahead. Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire and happy birthday to Mick?. It is my granddaughter’s sixth birthday too. I know it’s a Bank Holiday but I will be mainly doing laundry, a weekly shop (in person!) and taking things to a Charity Shop or two in my nearby town. Younger son had a massive clear out when he was home for Easter and I said I would take things to the Charity shops for him. OH and I must also make final decisions on paint colours for the hall and landing, kitchen and utility room and lounge. I have bought a dozen sample pots so far and there are squares of paint on the walls everywhere! We’ve already bought wallpaper for a feature walk in the lounge. The decorators aren’t coming until 1 August but they would like to know what paint they have to buy.

Happy birthday, Mick! Enjoy your day! ?????

A dull morning for my final day in Crewe. My DS is due later from Rugeley with DGS3 so we plan to visit Queen's Park and take the children's bikes for them to enjoy. Later, I’m treating them to an Italian meal.

I'm glad to hear you’ve arrived safely, Sar53 and the wine helped to break down barriers! Driving on Sunday in France is easier as only trucks carrying perishables are allowed on the roads. Good luck with the second leg of the journey. Do you share the driving?

I hope your DH is comfortable enough to make the most of a visit from your DD, grandMattie. It will be a tonic for you both, I’m sure.

Safe travels, Pantglas2, with happy landings tomorrow. I hope brook2704 arrived home safely last night and any others with trips planned find they go smoothly.

Yes, Marydoll, the post Covid fatigue is a nuisance and still affecting me at times now, nearly six weeks since I first tested positive. Thank goodness I’m not working!

Enjoy the Bonk Holiday, as DH would say. ??????

Happy Birthday Mick and thank you for this lovely thread. Hope you enjoy your day.??

Happy Birthday, love special days. The birds woke me up very early, 4 30, here in Sutton Coldfield they're a noisy bunch at that time. Weather bit cloudy but dry. Have a great day.

Happy birthday, Mick.
Good morning from another grey day in E Kent.
I didn’t sleep particularly well last night; if disturbed after about 0300, I find it very hard to go back to sleep. I have been downstairs for some two hours now. A nap will be in order this afternoon.
DD is coming this afternoon for a couple of nights. It will be lovely to see her. She is very much her father’s child and he delights in her visit.
The consultant doubled the morphine patches for DH and said it would take a couple of days to act, but I think it is giving him some extra pain relief.
Glad that gS had such a good day, that those on holiday are enjoying them, etc. Carpe diem/horam. ?????☀️

Happy birthday Mick enjoy your day
