Good Morning Tuesday 21st June 2022

Good Morning Mick and all who follow. Sunny on Severnside. I’ve been up an hour already as it was getting light and I couldn’t drop off again.

I did my tip run yesterday and was pleased that they took a few things from my boot for selling in their shop. Another tipee asked if they could help me unload. I thanked them and said I’d be ok. Made me feel old ? then I was cheered up by an old work colleague of DHwho I stopped to talk to on my way home who was surprised at my age because he thought I was years younger than him.

A homeworking day with possibly some outdoor sunshine reading.

Have a good day all ??

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Wiltshire.
The house is in utter chaos as decorating and various changes begin so housework is pointless (hurray!)
Off for dog walk shortly then some pottering in the garden and I will sit down and read in the sunshine I think. Lunch is sorted (salads) too!
Have a lovely day everyone x

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a light and bright north Wales where I’m up and about for no reason...tra-la ?? other than I’ve had my 7hours ?!

Lovely photos and descriptions of weddings ? and ? yesterday- proper cheering stuff ? ( as you can see from my posts I’m a pictorial person ?)

Trotting to Llandudno this morning for a few bits and pieces - TKMaxx is beckoning ?and I’m sloughing into the brambles of delinquency after 8 weeks away...?‍♀️

Top Secret - For Miss Marydolls Eyes Only ?️‍♀️?‍?

Melt block of butter with 350g sugar in microwave
Stir in Juice of 6 humongous ?+ (finely chopped rind of 3)
Beat 4 ? and drizzle into hot liquid, whisking madly
Pop into microwave for 2 minutes then whisk,
Do this six times until thickened then pot, label, cool....

And give it all away to DHs despair ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining again in South Yorkshire. I woke up last night with a thousand and one things on my mind that I couldn’t get past, so no sleep for me. I shalln’t be going very far today, but I have a feeling I won’t get much done either, except try to catch up on my sleep. We’ll see.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a bright E Kent. Just put the food bin out, it’s still nippy out.
Gosh, all those early birds and so much in their lives…
Pant, your lemon curd reminded me of a friend in Spanish classes who stole some, truly enormous lemons over a wall inValencia. I made her some “mermelade de limones robados” with only three fruit.
More mini dramas with the syringe driver, yesterday. It seems to malfunction.
It took me nearly an hour to persuade DH that it wasn’t 0430 the next morning, when I woke him up after a long nap. He had decided that I was lying to him.
Today, I’ve got my feet at 0800, but ?nothing else. Yet!
I must persuade DH to have a shower. He’ll enjoy it.
Hope today bring ☀️ Sunshine into your lives. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning all from a bright and warm North Leicestershire.

I have a few bits and bobs to do in town - collecting the winter quilt from the laundrette, an order from M&S, some meals for the freezer from the Italian cafe, to keep my mind off DD1 who begins her chemo today.

Have the best day possible everyone

Good morning all you early birds from an increasingly bright Torbay!

I’m in awe of Beechnut for your ability to clear out “stuff” and good luck with the decorators ,etc., BlueBalou!

Like Mick, I have a telephone appointment today from my surgery (pharmacist) about which I was only notified late yesterday so I’ve had to postpone my arrival at the theatre to do Props. I also have a dental hygienist appointment at 12.00 and a committee meeting this evening. One of those days within one of those weeks! Sigh!

Over in la Sarthe, DH has a check up with his rheumatologist today. He’s managing his osteoporosis quite well but the cold he caught on the cruise in late May is lingering. ☹️

I hope all with plans for the day can fulfil them. ?????

Morning everyone from what looks like a bright West Oxfordshire. I’m hoping that OH will take the two remaining bags of books to a charity shop today. He needs a hair cut so would be popping into our nearby town. I intend having a bit of a baking day and then making salmon baked in honey and garlic for dinner. We still haven’t chosen the paint for the kitchen, lounge and hall and landing. I have so far bought around 20 paint sample pots. The walls are covered in little squares! The decorators are coming 1 August so we must get on. ???for lots of you.

Good morning all from sunny East Yorkshire.

I had a similar recipe pantglas for making lemon curd in the microwave. It used to be delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Yesterday I did see GS and his classmates walking past en route to the railway station. I got waves from them! He said he’d had a great time.

Today is coffee morning and I’ll watch a bit of tennis this afternoon. GS here after school. DH is occupied all day with work so it will be just me to entertain him. I think we shall do some baking. It’s always popular!

Thinking of Grans with illness, worries etc.

Take care everyone.

Good morning from a lovely sunny day in Essex by the sea.
It's my birthday today, the longest day.
We are going out to lunch to a local pub later.
DH has also booked afternoon tea for Friday before we go and see Lord of the Dance, can't wait.
Enjoy Tuesday everyone whatever you may be doing xx

Happy birthday, Sar53!

A lovely day on which to have been born! ?????

Good Morning everyone.
Many Happy Returns to you Sar, have a wonderful day ?
Anyone got a cure for acute back pain…. Probably some kind of musculoskeletal thing again ?

Happy Birthday Sar ?? have a lovely day.

Thinking of you and your dear daughter today Kitty ?

Good morning, high cloud in S Hants.
Happy Birthday Sar53 ???
Every day a challenge gMattie or two, your stoicism is amazing.
Thoughts with you today kitty.
Farm shop for me early, then some bits from the village. I need to make a big lasagna for tomorrow, as today should be the cooler day, I’ll get on with it. Spare bed to remake and general tidying up.
Enjoy your day all ??

Good morning from sunny Leicester .
Thanks for the recipe, Pantglas. I’ve made jam in the microwave, but never lemon curd. It made my mouth water just reading it!

Not sure what my plans are today, other than walking the dog and nipping to see if my BIL is ok as he was discharged from hospital yesterday after a bout of pneumonia.
Other than that, it might be a bit of a drifter.
Thinking of you both , Grandmattie and Kittylester.
Have the best day possible, everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A warm, dry midsummer day.
Lots of cars starting up early this morning, probably because of the rail strike.
I am in the charity shop today as usual.
Happy birthday Sar and love to all ? x

Morning all

Happy Birthday Sar53 ????

It feels warm outside, we have The Imp so the day depends on him (he is suffering with really bad hay fever, the medication makes him tired and grotty)

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️?

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Cleaners here this morning, not much to do as we have been away.
Will take some stools I brought back from DD’s to be recovered then tea with a new friend this afternoon.

Hope it goes well for your DD kitty, the first one is a hurdle.

Happy Birthday Sar.
I hope everyone else has the best day possible.

Happy birthday Sar53. ???

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve grey cloud but the sun is trying to break through. Yesterday was an unexpected beautiful sunny day so I enjoyed my time in the garden
I love Llandudno pantglas but absolutely ages since I’ve been there, it was our annual holiday place when I was growing up as a child and lived in Manchester
Today I’ve got more of DD2s washing to do ? and I’ll be back out in the garden fighting the ongoing battle with the weeds
A very Happy Birthday Sar enjoy your special day! ???
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Every good wish for your daughter today, Kitty?.

And Happy Birthday, Sar! ??

Good morning all from an overcast Polmont where it's 13°. I think it may rain. Sar happy birthday to you. Kittylester all the best to your daughter.
Yesterday I pottered about in the garden. It was a beautiful day in central Scotland. Lots of sunshine and warm. I nipped to dd's with a card and wine for their anniversary and we spent some time in the garden there. She has bought a mini bouncy castle and dgs1 was bouncing happily. He wanted me to join him but my bouncing days are over.
Today dd is dropping dgs2 at my house as she's going to dgs1's nursery for a parents 'drop in and stay' session.
I am looking forward to having dgs2 on his own. Then it'll be cherry jam making. Chicken souvlaki for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a dull damp Co Armagh , indoors day here
