Good Morning Tuesday 17th May 2022

Good morning from a dry and sunny NE. Promises to be 21 degrees today so may go into the garden.
Gas fitters came and changed my meter, took half an hour not the two hours they predicted.
SIL and I had dinner together and then watched a film on Netflix, The Good Liar, really enjoyed it, cast including Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning everyone, Pouring rain here , and dull
we have had to attach lengths of hosepipe to the greenhouse gutters to take the water away from the sides .
Yesterday the floor was swimming ??‍♀️ The buckets are there till we get a rain barrel
Thinking of Gmatie and your OH , I hope he has a good day

Good morning from Leicester, where the sun is shining at the moment. It’s my sister’s birthday today so we’re having a takeaway this evening. I also have a zoom call with a friend later.
Good luck Chrissielou.
Hope all goes well GM and hubby. ?

Good luck chrissielou xxx

Good morning from blue skies in South Yorkshire. Looks like it should be a lovely day. Today's plans include an appointment for my nails doing and yoga this evening. In between that I need to clean the kitchen (before my nails?) and take all the grandchildrens pictures down as we are having new doors fitted tomorrow. We chickened out of completely renewing the kitchen because 1) The carcass is fine. 2) it is better for the environment just to change the doors. 3) I'm too mean to part with that much money ?
Wishing you all a lovely day xx

Morning Mick and all

It is bright and sunny and we are due a lovely balmy day, lots of playing in the garden with The Imp, then I think it will be a BBQ when his brother comes home from school.

Sar53 so pleased you are enjoying France, it sounds perfect.

Urmstongran enjoy your day, try not to get stressed ?

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and damp. I think the East of Scotland has to be brighter than the West, so you can have the rain Marydoll! Fingers crossed for your daughter Chrissielou. Fingers crossed for you,too Susan 56.
Yesterday I nipped up to dd with the clothes I washed from dgs1 at the weekend. A sneaky wee play with dgs2 who is now rolling over apparently but did not want to show off his latest trick to his grandma! I cleaned all the windows and glass when I came home, although I've never been great at smear free windows. Today I'll go over skirtings and maybe wash floors. Then I intend to draw. Tomorrow is the last art class til August so I want to make it worthwhile. The last of the beef casserole for tea with dumplings. Have a good day all.

Chrissielou good luck for today x

Good morning from a cloudy but warm Black Country.

It's been a busy few days. Sunday evening was in Birmingham to see Travis at the Symphony all. They were brilliant! Then we stayed overnight, breakfast at Hotel then on train back home. Where I promptly drove over to Mums, as I haven't been for 3 weeks, as first MrJ then myself had Covid. Then over to pick up DGD from an after school activity.

Today I am going to spend a couple of hours with a friend (ex Manager at my last job), she will have her 2 year old grandson with her so I imagine not so much chatting for us. Then out to lunch with Mum. Then over to DD's to take DGD for her swimming lesson after school. SIL is on a course this week, as he usually does all this. DGD is 11 tomorrow so she is excited about that.

Glad your DH had an easier day yesterday gM

Wishing you all a good day

Good morning Mick and all his followers. I have started waking earlier but no idea why. It means I make it on here.
Yesterday was spent on a Thames barge which was a delight but we somehow missed the A12 on the way back and took ages through villages.
We go away to France on Saturday but the garden needs work, I have washing and ironing, the house is still upside down from the decorator who hasn’t finished and we need to pack. I don’t really know where to start. Also, I am out on Wednesday and on Thursday morning. Aagh!
I hope today is kind to everyone.

A lovely sunny morning in Oxfordshire. DD1 is coming over and we are having a video call with the consultant to discuss yesterday's ct scan. We hope the news is positive, this is the first scan since chemo started.
Wishing you all a good day with lots of sunshine ?

For GM and Mr GM ???

Morning all from a possibly damp West Oxfordshire. I have a vat of chicken stock to box, label and freeze this morning. Then we are having lunch out at one of our favourite places. OH is out tonight so I might catch up with last Saturday’s Beck.

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s looking a little brighter.

Thank you for your good wishes yesterday, we may not meet the new baby till Thursday as his Mum is unsurprisingly feeling a little tired. She has her mum who has come to stay for a while to help so I think I’ll leave them be for a day or two.

It was so lovely to be back at the Burrell yesterday, Marydoll your DD and her colleagues have done a grand job. There were many exhibits I remember seeing but also some which were new to me. I also bumped into an old friend so that was a bonus.

It’s DD’s wedding anniversary today so we’ll go over this evening to let them go out for a meal together.

Have the best day possible everyone. ??

Good morning all from Glasgow, where it's 11°C, with rain forecast AGAIN!

Glad to hear yesterday was a more productive day for you, GM.
I'm so envious of your holiday, Sar. It sounds so idyllic!
Praying that all is well with your DIL and your new grandchild, Baubles, a joyful time.

My plans to continue the clear out were disrupted yesterday. Our PP is still feeling unwell and our curate realised that a bus hadn't been booked for a parish trip to Carfin Grotto on Sunday.
I spent ages trying to organise it, because just about all companies were fully booked. Then bingo! I managed to get hold of a local company, whom we used for school trips.
Our nursery mums used this company forty years ago, (which of course I mentioned) to do the nursery run, when they first started out. I then realised the person, who answered the phone was the DIL of the original owner and best friend of our school secretary. Bingo! Duly booked, with an excellent price into the bargain!

This of course meant my plans to fill even more bags were thwarted!
We are off to the charity shop this morning, with a removal van! I have been quite ruthless, ( I mean, how many pairs of white trousers can a girl have, especially when they no longer fit?) My summer clothes seem to have shrunk in storage! ☹

We then need to go for compost. DD had left a bag of compost in the garden, to repot her radishes and rocket. I noticed it was missing. The culprit? Mr Mdoll, of course!!!?
His excuse, Nobody told me! Of course we did, he just wasn't listening!!

Wishing you all a pleasant day, whatever your plans and I hope, for those who are struggling, your mountains are not too difficult to climb? ?

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Thinking of you GrandMattie with your struggles
A giggle with Matt is always a good start to the day Urmston thank you.
Today hope to get the bus into Ripon for a bit of shopping- a change from Harrogate shop. A bit more sewing ? when I get back
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from a cloudy Black country more rain forecast for later.BlueBalou I to have not worn a watch since beginning of lockdown have got out of the habit.
More clothes to take to charity shop and will carry on with my knitting.
Ash have a safe journey both and enjoy your cruise.
Enjoy your Tuesday and may you all find some ?.

Morning Mick, morning All from an already warm corner of Somerset

The weather is much sunnier than I am this morning. Mr C it seems had a cold (all tests negative) rather than hay fever which he has kindly shared. Little sleep for me so several naps on the cards today and not much else. It will pass, quickly I hope, minor in the scheme of things .

Phone still not fixed, another call from Apple land due tomorrow. It’s usable, just an irritating fault. Best dig out something cool to wear today, we’ve also got 23 degrees forecast before some rain arrives early evening.

That sounds a better day grandMattie, hoping for the same for you both today.

Hope Tuesday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from a beautiful sunny Suffolk coast. It was breezy yesterday but such warm air.
The heating engineer met us as we arrived and spent over an hour with us going through our new system. Goodness we need a degree in how it all works. ?. After the tutorial he said ‘don’t worry about all that, just use the thermostat , as and when you need to.?. I expected mess and dust everywhere , but all was clean and tidy. He’d even put all our china back on the dresser! ?. What a super chap! ❤️.

Dh mowed the lawns and I pottered around putting things back in the cottage. Windows to clean, tubs to be emptied of bulbs and plants to be bought, strimming needed down the steps to the beach and a trip to the tip. Phew!

DS1 and2 are coming for a weekend in June to give us a much needed hand in clearing out sheds and garage, a bit of painting and fence repairs. Lovely boys ❤️.

Sar your holiday sounds fab. A bit of socialising, a lot of reading, venturing out when you feel like it and most of all relaxing in the sunshine. How lovely!

GM hope your day is ‘OK! ‘ ?.

Scentia enjoy your gardening with tiny Gd. ?‍?.

Urms I hope your boy wonder does well at the sports day. ?

Enjoy your day out ginny . All girls together ?

Hoping you all have a pleasant day ???

Good morning everyone from a beautifully sunny day in Northampton. Will be going out to stake.my peonies up later. Bedrooms to dust and Hoover first though. Must remember to pay the balance for my August cruise today.

A routine check-up at the dentist early afternoon, so I shall miss my health walk, but I plan on walking to the cafe after the dentist to meet everyone for a coffee, should take no more than 10 minutes to walk it. Then a gentle walk home afterwards and will sit in the garden and read before dinner. No cooking tonight as there is enough left over from last night's chicken soup to reheat.

Have a good day everyone, and may the sun shine on you all.

Good morning Mick and everyone following. ?

It’s going to be a beautiful day here today. Just been out to put the washing on the line and it has that glorious early morning smell after the rain. It lifts the spirits.

grandMattie you and your DH are in my thoughts as always ?
Sar your holiday in France really does sound heavenly.
Urms enjoy your DGSs sports day. I do miss those days watching my children’s sports days and helping out with them.

Enjoy your day everyone who can and hope Tuesday brings a reason to smile ??

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a sunny start to the day
Sending ❤️ gMattie
What a lovely holiday Sar enjoy every minute
I’ll be off out into the garden this morning, we had rain most of the day yesterday so didn’t get chance
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from sunny Shropshire.
