Good morning from Newcastle where we docked safely this morning. After breakfast, we shall disembark then go by coach to the railway station for a train back to Devon.

A few pics taken on board, including some flamingos! Offline yesterday due to being at sea.

Hope your check up goes well, Mick.

Best wishes to those with health worries and to fellow travellers. ?????

Good morning from a dull E Kent. I hope it doesn’t rain off and on as it did yesterday because I’ve got washing to dry.
The bird paintings are lovely, Ash, and I hope you had a lovely rest at sea.
Quiet day yesterday. The cakes and jams have all gone for the MS ticketed tea party today.
DH slept for most of the day, but was well enough to eat. DS is very good at getting his dad to drink. It’s hard when he’s asleep most of the time and only takes small sips when told to.
Today, DS is taking DGS out to lunch and planning their short holiday in Greece. I’m very envious of everything except the hat; I loathe the heat.
Hope Miss Marydoll feels better today; ditto all our poorly friends. Hope the sun shines on you all.
Carpe diem. ?????

Pinch punch, fluffy white rabbits. Morning all from a windy and damp Cardigan Bay, I think we are driving to St David’s today. ??? to the GMs.

Urmstongran Wed 01-Jun-22 06:46:29

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from Ibiza where it’s the start of another gloriously sunny day. It’s 19°C already rising to highs of 26°C later. I love the heat so this suits me very well. I intend to read some of my book today if possible ...
?

Enjoy Wednesday all who can. x

Good morning from a wet Oxfordshire.
Happy Birthday Mick, sorry you have to spend it at the Doctors.hope you have a good ‘rest of the day’.
It’s MrOops birthday today as well, so a family lunch, then MzOops and the Oopsies are heading back home hopefully to beat the bank holiday rush?.
Drama yesterday when MzOops pushed her car door closed, keys on the seat, with the dog inside and all the doors locked themselves, alarm going off all of the time, dog inside frantic and in the sun, by the time the RAC had arrived the side window they had been advised would open easily smashed into tiny pieces, anyway dog out, glass everywhere. So they were very late for a lunch date with their Nanna. Never a dull moment.
Hope everyone manages to have a good day, hope the sun shines for the Birthday boys.
Hugs for those having a rough time

Pinch punch everyone. No sun on Severnside this morning.
Good Morning all.

I’ve a few things to do today, get a badly needed haircut, pick up my prescription and do the weekly shop two days early. My fridge looks like Mother Hubbard. Beechnutella will be here later.

I have an awchy thingy pain. I probably twisted something on Monday.

A few more houses in my street have put up bunting ????
Have a good day all ?

Beechnut Wed 01-Jun-22 07:00:37

Happy Birthday Mick I hope you pass your birthday MOT ??

I am off to the Sea Life Centre today with DD and GC, then we are meeting DiL and GSs at a restaurant on the beach for a late lunch.

I will read your posts later as I have to shower and wash my hair to make my mani/pedi appointment at 8.35am first.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning, sun and +7 in S Hants.
Happy Birthday Mick and MrOops??
Had a lovely lunch out with a friend yesterday in between heavy showers.
My car has an air bag error after MrJ went to move it, so call to the garage first thing.
Safe journey home Ashcombe like the ?, hope we all have one today.

Good morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

A bitty and Bobby day today DH has gym first thing, then I will drive him into town for a blood test before we go to his volunteer event for brewcupcake Then we have a friend coming for supper.

Have the best day possible all.

Good morning from Essex by the sea where it is cloudy.
We arrived home about 9.30 last night after a very long day in the car.
A lovely month away but back to the real world now.
Today will be spent unpacking and washing.
I hope everyone has the best Wednesday possible. Love to all xx

Marydoll Wed 01-Jun-22 07:21:13

Good morning all from Glasgow, where its 8 ° C.

Firstly, I want to thank all those when sent their good wishes yesterday, after my unexpected hospital visit. It meant a lot to me.

I hope your check up goes ok, Mick, our surgery does nothing like that.
Wishing you a safe journey home Ash and birthday greetings to Mr Oops.

Dollie was a star yesterday, poor papa was exhausted, as she thinks he is her six year old pal and never stops talking. I wonder where she gets that from. ?

A gentle day for me, I'm very tired and somewhat unsettled after my lengthy chat with the A&E doctor. My problem is I think too much and mull things over, my brain is always in overdrive!

Wishing you all the best of days, especially all of those with mountains to climb.

brook2704 Wed 01-Jun-22 07:23:46

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it was misty a few minutes ago but the sun is shining now
A very Happy Birthday to mick and MrOops ??
Safe journey home Ashcombe I hope you’ve both had a wonderful time on your cruise
Today DD2 is arriving for the day to borrow our internet ? she works from home but they’ve got an electrician round today to do some work and their’s will be off most of the day so she’s coming here instead. I’ll keep her supplied with mugs of tea and the odd treat - its a good job I’m going out to the gym later
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings ?

BlueBalou Wed 01-Jun-22 07:26:15

Good morning everyone from a damp seaside in northwest Wales, and Happy Birthday to you Mick ??
We had a lovely long beach walk yesterday afternoon, going to drive along to the far end today and explore the estuary.
Have a lovely day everyone x

Beechnut Wed 01-Jun-22 07:33:09

Is Mick like the Queen and having two birthdays ?

ShazzaKanazza Wed 01-Jun-22 07:33:25

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dull morning in Hull. A couple of showers forecast but sun through the day. The garden was well rained on yesterday and is looking green and lush.

Mick hope all goes well with your health check.
grandMattie ? pleased to hear you and your DH are supported by your DS.
Safe journey home Ashcombe.
Happy birthday Mr Oops

A quiet day today before a busy jubilee weekend. Just going to the gym and this afternoon needing a big shop ready for family arriving tomorrow.

Take care everyone and hoping we all see some sunshine. Thoughts to those with illness and worries??

Susan56 Wed 01-Jun-22 07:42:37

Good morning from Shropshire.

DH enjoyed his birthday yesterday with all the family around although we had to take B to the drs at one point as he has another ear infection.

Today DH has a health MOT like you Mick.I hadn’t realised it was a birthday thing??‍♀️While he is at the drs, DGD and I will go to M and S to get some shopping for mum then we will go over there and see what needs doing.She was quite bossy on the phone yesterday so normality is returning!

Thinking of all with illness,worries and struggles and wishing everyone the best day possible??

Stilllearning Wed 01-Jun-22 07:50:11

Good morning from Majorca where I’m on holiday with DD3, SiL and two lovely grandchildren. Even my 11 year old DGD is taller than me now and my 13 year old grandson is taller than us all! He is such a gentle boy and it’s touching to see this tall ‘young man’ playing happily with his wee sister.

This is the first chance I’ve had to post since we arrived on Sunday, a combination of being an hour ahead and, most uncharacteristically, sleeping like a log until being summoned for breakfast!

It’s just wonderful being with them all and the glorious sunshine adds to my joy. I’ve managed to read later on in the day and have seen your extra woes Marydoll, I hope your spirit lifts today.

Thinking still of all who are having a hard time, good wishes to everyone. ???

I’ll try and add a picture of the view from our hotel

Chrissielou Wed 01-Jun-22 07:50:20

A very grey start in Oxfordshire, its obviously been raining again in the night, very heavy showers yesterday too. I am enjoying my week off, looking after GC and taking DD1 for chemo yesterday. Today I'm meeting my sister for coffee at a local garden centre.
Marydoll I hope you begin to recover from your A&E visit and can rest today.
Hope you all have a good day and find some sunshine.

Grandmabatty Wed 01-Jun-22 07:50:36

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° and cloudy in bits. Showers forecast. Urms I love sunshine and warmth in small doses. My northern blood wouldn't cope otherwise. ? Ashcombe safe journey home. Sar my gran would have said, "Back to auld claes and parridge" if you can translate. Happy birthday to MrOops I'm not sure if it's Mick's birthday or not. Brook enjoy your temporary lodger.
Today I will pick up my prescription then visit mum. It'll be a short visit as I'm going with dd to dgs1's nursery for a family picnic. It's to raise funds for a charity. Then I'll potter about the house no doubt. Roast chicken for dinner. Have a good day all.
