Good Morning Saturday 14th May 2022

Good morning from a sunny France. Apart from the first few days we have had beautiful weather and it is set to continue.

We had a lovely drive out yesterday and visited two lovely villages set up high with wonderful panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

A little food shopping this morning and not much else on the agenda today. Lots of reading and maybe a swim.

Happy Birthday to Marydoll.

Have a super Saturday everyone xxx

Good morning all from damp South Lanarkshire.

Those cakes look amazing Scentia, I bet they will be delicious too.

Happy birthday Marydoll ??.

Another working day for me, this has been a four day week, however I’m only in one day next week so will be able to catch up with all sorts of neglected tasks.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all and it’s a bit overcast here in Essex. Sun due to appear a bit later.

I had a very long lunch with my friend yesterday which was lovely and we discussed a day trip in September with a local coach company. I’ll book it today.

Today DD and I are going for a charity afternoon tea with a group of friends. It takes place in a church hall but it is just as good as Tea at the Ritz. ?. A pianist , vintage dressed waitresses/waiters, scrumptious sandwiches, cakes etc, and pastries, and plenty of it, Prosecco and non alcoholic beverages, tea/coffee to follow. All in aid of Cancer Relief. It should be fun!

Those cakes are amazing Scentia. Enjoy the party. ???.

Happy Birthday Marydoll ??.

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend ?

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s sunny and bright and a good day is forecast
Wow those cakes Scentia! They look so good, I bet the DGC will be thrilled!
Happy Birthday to Marydoll enjoy your special day! ????
A quiet weekend for us, hopefully we’ll be outside in the garden most of the time.
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Well done, momb. Curiously, a few days before DH’s diagnosis, I had downloaded the form to host refugees and was about to fill it in. I’m really sad about that.

Good morning all! Good G Mattie that some treatment is being offered. Hope that helps.
Happy birthday Marydoll! Have a good day with lots of little treats!
We still have a lot of admin tasks to help our Ukrainian guests with -like applying for NI numbers, applying for family allowance, getting appointments for getting biometric passports to name a few.
It will be lovely if the sun shines today.
Have the best day you can!

Goodness Scentia those cakes look professional - they are quite beautiful. I hope you all enjoy the party for the two littlies. It’s great life is back to normal (for) now.

Well remembered grandMattie from yesterday! I’m rubbish. Yes, many happy returns of the day to you Marydoll! I hope you enjoyed your birthday lunch yesterday and your trip down memory lane.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it looks like it will be a sunny day.
Today is the birthday party, DD has waited 3 years to be able to do a party for DGS and DGD due to Covid!!
Here are the cakes she made last night, she is clever. I am biased though.
Have a great day folks❤️

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it looks a promising start to the day here. It’s warm with a high of 20°C forecast but at the moment we have a complete wash of white cloud and the Pennines are not visible.

Our Yorkshire lass and her partner are camping this weekend. They both love the outdoor life. Unlike me - I like my home comforts. We have no plans so will just take the day as it comes.

Enjoy Saturday all who can. x

Good morning, all, from a bright and sunny Torbay.

Yesterday, we were pleased to deliver a bag of clothes to our nearby hospice shop. Today, another bag will go to Animals in Distress. There are three charity shops within the parade of shops, just a few minutes' walk to my home.

Also, we plan to attend our church coffee morning where the welcome is always warm. Tonight, a chance to watch the latest production at our theatre as we shall be Front of House stewards for the opening charity night (final Dress Rehearsal). The play is The Passing of the Third Floor Back. (a clumsy title!)

Safe journey to Oopsadaisy1 and others who may be travelling and a happy weekend to you all. ??????

Good morning from a bright E Kent.
Happy birthday Marydoll ??
Although DH didn’t have a brilliant day, we had a very productive call from the consultant and I had asked one of the doctors to sit in, which was also helpful. They have identified the type of cancer, which although always fast growing and terminal, responds extremely well to chemotherapy for containment. Thus will start either late next week or early the week after. Side effects are how he already feels only more so!
Lovely to see DGS who was exhausted and filthy after an army-type activity week in Cornwall. He was ravenous and ate half my pizza as well as his!
He is sleeping and I doubt I shall see him before going off to the hospice.?
Carpe diem. ???

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a lovely bright Hull. It’s going to be a warm weekend so we will be in the garden all day today planting everything out.

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend. Those with birthdays a happy one.
Hugs to our friends with poorly loved ones.
Hoping Saturday brings many reasons to smile. ??

Hola, buen dia from ?? where more ? is promised and I shall get another week’s washing done on cheap electricity! Those crafty knaves think they can catch me out with their differing mid week high prices but now I simply save the washing til the weekend and my bills are less than ever? that’ll learn ‘em!

Out this evening for ⚽️ and food at a friend’s bar where they have a singer on later so siesta this afternoon on the terrace methinks?

Will catch up later with all your doings...I’m like you Taichinan I forget names on who’s doing what but do read every day and wish all a good weekend x?

Good Morning Mick and all who follow, clear and due to be sunny here in North Devon after a sunny but blustery week, if only I’d packed warmer clothes and a hat! Story of my life….
Back home to Oxfordshire when MrOops wakes up and hopefully a warm and sunny weekend.
It’s been a lovely week with the beach on my doorstep.
Hope GM dear husband has a better day today.
Best wishes to everyone and may you all find something to smile about today.
