Good Morning Sunday 19th June 2022

Good morning Mick, it’s a grey start here.
Lots more sorting and furniture shuffling today before decorating kicks off tomorrow.
Dog walk this morning will be a damp one, thankfully the fields have been cut and cleared for hay so shouldn’t get too wet ?
Tired this morning as not sleeping well, too many thoughts whirling around my head ?. Maybe a nap later ?

Bore da Mick and all who follow from my little nest in north Wales- I do hope Lauranorderr has some more of that lovely sunshine ? left in the Island weatherbarn and sends it across so the rest of my washing gets done today?

It’s Fathers Day so I’ll be trotting up the valley to see mine with my offering of ? curd wot I made yesterday with mi amiga’s organic lemons - he loves it on his toast (and never complains it’s too sharp - unlike DD?)

Poor Blossoming taking a tumble - I know you’ll be aching in places you didn’t know existed today (cos I managed to do same last year but alone one dark morning ?‍♀️) ? to you and all with health cares at the moment x

Have a lovely time in Ibiza Hollysteers and all who are on jollies ???

Good morning from a grey, overcast E Kent. The temperature has dropped considerably to a comfortable one for me.
Why is nothing easy at chateau gM? We had two dramas yesterday.
First, when the district nurse came to do the driver, he set everything up, put the syringe in, only to find that it was no longer working. He had to give an injection to DH to cover the time that he found a new driver. He also had to throw away the prepared mixture. He came back about 4 hours later with a new driver, and mirabile dictu, it worked! Unfortunately, he also realised that we were very short of one drug. It isn’t normally stocked at pharmacies, so we had ring round local chemists to find who had some in and arrange for an emergency prescription. Mercifully, our local Boots had ordered too much from the previous prescription so were able to give us some to tide over the weekend and Monday!
The thunderstorm around midnight woke me up, as did the driver beeping telling me the line was occluded, as did BT kindly telephoning me to say there had been a power cut. Cue getting up to answer the phone and sort out the driver…. I’m pooped already.
DD left in the afternoon after having made further adjustments to the “sick room” although DH spent the day with us in the sun. DS was off to meet friends near Whitstable for a BBQ.
I hope today is calm, for us, for everyone. Carpe diem. ?????

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire today. A bitter sweet day for us, as it’s the first Father’s Day for my two without their beloved Dad. DD and her menfolk are coming over later for lunch and we will raise a glass to him. Anyway, onward and upward. If the weather keeps up we may get to sit in the garden. It feels a mite chilly at the moment though!
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a very grey and miserable looking Essex by the sea.
We had a tremendous thunderstorm around 11 last night as we were going to bed, what a light show.
Yesterday we finally decided on a new fridge freezer which is being delivered at the end of the month. The old one is very iced up so will take sometime to defrost ready for collection.
No plans for today but I expect a visit to DH's eldest daughter will figure somewhere.
Have a super Sunday everyone, love to all xx

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I’ll go to church this morning - a tiny and very ancient church a couple of villages away. Then it’s the second day of our Village Festival. I hope the rain holds off. I will be on the WI stall. I need to think about dinner tonight and take something out to defrost. Maybe chicken in a pasta sauce? ??? to lots of you.

Good morning from a dull and windy Torbay. My weather app says it’s 11 degrees but will feel like nine due to the North wind. The weather is in turmoil it seems but I wouldn’t want another hot summer like 1976 as portrayed on C5 last night!

What a night for some of you, after an eventful day yesterday for grandMattie and her DH! I hope things settle down so that those who are fathers can enjoy their day and those feeling bereft may recall good memories, as shall I.

My DSiL in Crewe has Covid, picked up on a business trip to the States. I chose a tapas hamper to send him via Bunches to cheer him up as he’s a dutiful, supportive father and always good to DH and me. (and my DD!) He'll be frustrated to miss coaching his son's football team.

No plans apart from church then pottering here.

Have a blessed Sunday, everyone! ??✝️??

Good morning from sunny Colchester. The thunder and lightning kept me awake late last night but it has cleared the air for a cooler day.
There is more rain forecast, which I don't need as I have DH's fishing laundry to tackle.
We have the chicken salad I'd planned to eat yesterday today. We ended up eating out with DD1 and family last night.
Love to all ?

Good morning from a sunny Black country.
Rain all day yesterday but no thunderstorms.
Family coming for dinner today Dil had suggested we eat out but I said I didn't mind cooking. If the weather holds we can take a trip up to the park with the boys.
?hello to any newbies and a ? to Urms best wishes to anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed, safe travels those on the move.
Enjoy your Sunday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and blowy with mostly blue skies. Grandmattie what a night for you and your husband. Sar and Pittcity I love a thunderstorm. I don't think we had any here last night. It's not been hot enough. Ashcombe I hope your sil gets better soon.
Yesterday was lovely. A long chat with a former colleague and friend then we visited the school fair. I was pleased to see some former colleagues who seemed equally pleased to see me! It was busy too, which must have been gratifying for the organisers.
Today I will have to go to Aldi as I put it off yesterday. Apart from that, nothing is planned. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from grey and breezy Harrogate
DH is being taken out for the day by our DD1. They are going for a long walk which is why I have been excluded. Anyway it gives me an empty!! Apart from going to church, I haven’t decided how to make the best of it!
Your days are never short of drama GrandMattie but I bet you wish they were more mundane.
Happy Father’s Day were relevant.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from a sunny North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today. A phone call to DD2 and then a visit to a wedding event being put on by DD3 in a walled garden.

We had worrying news about one of DH's brothers who had another fall and was waiting for an ambulance.

Morning all

I agree with the other two Essex Grans the thunder storm last night was spectacular, the air is definitely chillier and not so heavy.

Wea are going to youngest sons for a BBQ with DD and the DiL’s parents, I have made a pavlova and cheese cake for dessert to take along.

Fathers Day is hard without Dads, thinking of those who are no longer with us,

Oh dear grandMattie you seem to be lurching from kne crisis to another sending you a (((hug)))

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny ? Northampton. Hoping it stays like it, as friends and I are.off to a nearby pretty village to tour their open gardens. This will be our fourth outing to gardens this year, and has been well worth doing. Of course there is always tea and cake somewhere as well!

Yesterday was pretty miserable, dull and chilly, with rain in the afternoon,. so my planned trip to pick up an M&S order did not go ahead, shall go tomorrow instead. I stayed in and watched the rugby final instead.

A man came to give me a quote for cleaning and sealing all the hard outside surfaces - driveway, patio, etc, so I am looking forward to getting that done. He comes with a good report from the daughter of a neighbour who had him do hers recently.

Hoping the sun shines on all today.

It's bright here at the moment been up early with 2Gg jumping into our bed ,it will be a long day we will take them home then stay at theirs for tea. Have a good day has possible.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s grey with a bit of a cool wind. We’ve not had any thunderstorms or rain though its sure to be on its way soon
Nothing much planned for today but I’ll be out in the garden if I can as theres always lots to do
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from Shropshire.

We have been away in Ilkley for a few days.The weather was lovely and we have had a relaxing break.Lots of walking and enjoying the beautiful countryside.Also a visit to Halifax to visit the Piece Hall.

Today will be laundry and gardening.

Greyduster?

Hope today is an easier day grandMattie?

??to Urms.

Thinking of all with illness,worries and struggles.Have the best day you can everyone??

Good morning all from Glasgow, where its alternating between sunshine and cloud.

I have had very little sleep, due to the pain in my leg and DH's snoring/ grunting/muttering/arm flailing etc.
It wasn' t helped by having to go out at midnight to retrieve DH's Father's Day bottle of whisky, which I had hidden in my car.
The bottom fell out of the tin (it was upside down), it survived hitting the monoblock, rolled under my car and down the road! I was chasing it in the dark, (in my pyjamas), triggering my neighbours' security lights.
I do not like the world at all this morning! ?

I hope today is less problematic for you GM.
There seems to be a shortage of certain medications. My injections are being couriered tomorrow morning, I have none due to a worldwide shortage. The hospital were writing the prescriptions on time, however the home care team couldn't fulfill the prescription. It was causing me some anxiety, as I am due one tomorrow morning and I have none.

I have a busy day ahead, I apparently, I have been designated chief organiser for our parish celebrations today. The organisation won't phase me, but there seems to be a shortage of home baking donations. That is concerning me. A trip to Asda may be necessary.

Blossoming, I hope you are recovering after your fall, it certainly knocks our confidence.
To all our patients in the sick bay, wishing you a gentle day.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone.

PS. Pants are you willing to share your lemon curd recipe or is it a state secret? ?

Good morning all from a sunny start in Glasgow but still a bit of a chilly breeze around. We have a clear blue sky where I can see the moon from one window and the sun from another.

I can’t remember when both our girls were here to celebrate Father’s Day together with DH, he will be so spoiled today by his darling daughters. DD2 and SiL returned from the But n Ben last night. They managed a visit to St Andrews and SiL instantly fell in love with the town as I was sure he would. Many photos of a beautifully sunny West Sands were sent to friends and colleagues in Brisbane.

Back to a busy household again today, tiring but lots of pleasure too.

Much love and best wishes to all for a good day making sure to grab some sunshine and happiness if you can. ?

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire where the sun is shining but the sky is beginning to darken.

I was awake for several hours during the night then fell into a fitful sleep peppered with stressy dreams about going on holiday, not having anything I needed and tearing about trying to find passport, shoes, clothes. In reality I’m a super organised traveller so I’ve woken feeling quite discombobulated.

DD will be over at some point today but other than that it will be another quiet one.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning. Not too bright in N. Bucks but an improvement on yesterday.

Nothing planned this morning but later we are going to DD3s where I will be looking after DGS for a few hours whilst DH is taken out by our 3 daughters. Son in Law is out with his Dad and our 6 yr old Grandson.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Good morning from the bright sunny Durham. Perhaps I’m a cold fish, as yet the heat wave doesn’t appear to have hit us. Today’s plan is to take DD2’s younger dog home, then a visit to Newcastle’s quayside market with DD1 and her family ending with a local lunch, where we will meet up with her FIL. Later a walk with the older dog and a friend is coming to share a glass of wine in my garden, while she takes some cuttings from various plants.
One day gM I hope things will fall into place – at one point we had so many duplicate medicines coming for DH, that I could’ve set up a pharmacy.
A peaceful day to all, especially those where Father’s Day is more poignant than ever.

Good morning all from a fresher S Hants, we had rain last night.
Wishing a better day for those struggling, gMattie and Grannyme6.
Hope your bruises are not too sore today Blossoming
I have a birthday present to drop for my son’s GF, Tuesday is the day, some phone calls to make and yesterdays crossword to tussle with.
Happy holidays to those away ?
Father’s Day in many of our thoughts, my Dad is.
Hi to Urms ??
Enjoy today if you can all ??

Good morning from a brightish London.
Spectacular thunder storm last night and the air is cooler.
Not sure what DD has planned for us today so will take it as it comes.

Hope you have a better day Mattie.
? Urms.
Wishing everyone a good day.
