Good Morning Everyone,
Its a grey but dry start here in brackley this morning.
Busy start today , do a small shop , and then get a taxi booked to take to my surgery for my blood test this morning.
Otherwise a easy day before the weekend.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning Mick and glad to hear you’re getting sorted promptly ? - hope everyone has an easier time of medical tribulations actually!

That Eton Mess looked absolutely delish LLFL ? that and Pavlova are my favourites! Well Brook Llandudno is still as delightful as ever, very busy now with holidaymakers and ??
which is marvellous to see after the last few years of restrictions etc and of course the ?weather helps.

A stroll to the next village post office and a pot of tea this morning for MrPG and I- no doubt ?will join us….?‍♀️ usually does!

Looking forward to seeing our missing posters return - that sin bin must be too full as it is ?

Good morning from a cloudy E Kent. If yesterday was anything to go by, it will be another scorcher. I find this heat very difficult to cope with, ironic from someone brought up in the tropics!
I trust everything will go well today for you, Mick.
My pots are looking lovely atm. I watered the garden with my “leaky” hose all day yesterday!leaving it for an hour in each site. The plants should have had a good drink.
Not a very good day yesterday, shall spare you the details but more complications in our lives…
My boys are loving Greece and hoped to have an equivocal pronouncement from the oracle at Delphi!
May today bring peace and contentment to all. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning Mick and all. It’s a sunny start again in my corner of Lancashire, currently 17°C.

Do the goats still visit Llandudno Pantglas or have the crowds put them off?

Sorry you’ve had yet more issues GM.

Plans for today are usual physio exercises and a trip to the hairdresser. I had a short walk yesterday but didn’t manage much housework as it was so hot. We eventually had some rain showers in the evening but it didn’t really help clear the air.

Sending positive vibes to those going through difficult times. I hope today is a good one for us all, with a ?or ??along the way.

Good morning from Shropshire.

Hope you get on ok at the drs today Mick and hoping for a better day for you today grandMattie.Also hoping Marydoll is feeling better today.

We’re looking after Henry again today and then school pick up for Miss M later then she will come for a sleepover tonight.

Yesterday after school we visited the artisan bakery in their village.All the bread had been sold but M has put an order in for after school today.She loves the cinnamon buns and focaccia.

Hi Urms??

Thinking of all our absent goodmorningers?

Have the best day you can everyone.??

They ??were munching along West Shore Blossoming as I drove through on Tuesday, a bit quieter that end than town itself?.

They’ve also been spotted perusing garden menus ??in Trinity Square in the quieter early mornings according to DD then seem to disappear ?

ShazzaKanazza Fri 24-Jun-22 06:40:52

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a cloudy but dry Hull. Another warm day for us with a possibility of a shower or two. ?

Up early as I have to be out to take my friend to the Drs to have her last remaining stitches out from her op. We are going over to the Range afterwards if she’s up to it because our other friend and I owe her a birthday present due to her being in hospital. I think she’s talking about us getting her a pot for her garden and something nice to go in it so that’s easy enough.
We have our little GS after school today. Tonight DH is going out with his friends so I’m taxi for him. While he’s out I’ll watch a couple of episodes of The Crown. It’s my go to watch if he’s out or watching football.

grandMattie your garden looks lovely?
Mick thinking of you as you are going through your tests.
Take care today everyone and hope the sun shines for all of us. Hugs for those suffering stress and illness??

Good morning Mick and everyone.
Grandmattie, the pots look lovely. I bet the plants appreciated their long drinks. I’m sorry to hear that yesterday brought more trials.
We did half of a big clean yesterday then left the rest for today as it was so hot.
Mick, I’m seriously impressed with how quickly your surgery seems to be able to organise things. ?all turns out well.

Hoping that your Friday brings you joy .

Sar53 Fri 24-Jun-22 07:02:12

Good morning everyone from a sunny and bright Essex by the sea.
Sorry to hear that yesterday was not a good one GM, hoping that today is better for you
This afternoon we are going for Afternoon Tea at a local hotel, my birthday present from DH, followed by a visit to the theatre to see Lord of the Dance. I'm very excited and very much looking forward to it.
I hope you can all find something to enjoy today, much love xxx

Pittcity Fri 24-Jun-22 07:07:14

Good morning from a hazy Colchester. Yesterday's forecast rain didn't materialise. More in today's forecast. I have washing to put out and will water the garden, if that doesn't start the rain nothing will.
The decorator did a good job yesterday, so today we will put the coat hooks, pictures etc back.
Love to all ? x

Beechnut Fri 24-Jun-22 07:11:23

Good Morning everyone from Severnside. It’s sunny but there is a lot of cloud.

I might clean the car today. I’m not looking forward to doing it. I’ve also some birthday cards to make as well and some hoovering.

I’ve been keeping up with Matt while you are away Urm.

Have a good day all ??

Jaxjacky Fri 24-Jun-22 07:18:18

Good morning from an overcast S Hants. Sorry to hear your medical news Mick hopefully soon addressed.
What a pretty garden gMattie let’s hope today is a better one for you both.
We had friends for dinner last night, they’ve been in Australia for two months, so lots of tales, most enjoyable.
Today is rather weather dependent, gardening hopefully.
Thoughts with those of you unwell, or with family members poorly. May today bring some joy ??
Hi Urms ??

Good morning all from an overcast East Yorkshire. Alexa says we will have thunderstorms later.

We had a nice lunch out yesterday at a place across the Humber bridge. Didn’t end up taking GS out after school as DH had work calls. He had a nice time here though playing etc. He amazed me with his spelling for a 5 year old. I was in the kitchen preparing his tea (wraps) and he came in to me and had written down the 3 ingredients Mummy puts in his wraps so no help at all from me. Good work!

A go with the flow day today.DH busy with work most of the day so just myself to please.

With talk of the goats at Llandudno it’s funny we we’re discussing about booking a few days away and where to go. That came up as an option.

Take care everyone.

Gingster Fri 24-Jun-22 07:20:03

Good morning all and it’s overcast here in Essex.

Oh Sar are you going to The Roslin? Enjoy your afternoon tea, wherever it is! ??, and Lord of the Dance. It’s brill! You have a lovely day ahead!

My Dh is going for a neurology appointment this morning. Last night he said ‘I really don’t know why I’m going’ ! ?

Dog walking for me with my old neighbour and good friend.
Back here for a coffee and chat !

I hope you all have a good day and enjoy whatever is planned. ?

ginny Fri 24-Jun-22 07:33:15

Good morning from a dull N. Bucks.
DH is off to golf and I have smallest Grandson for an hour whilst Dd3 visits the hairdressers.
Then out to lunch with them and DD1 will join us. They will stay until school pick up time for Grandson2.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Grandmabatty Fri 24-Jun-22 07:33:46

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 15°. Looks like it could be a nice day. Lovely garden grandmattie. Yesterday I achieved quite a lot by pottering.
Today will be more of the same then I'm going to see the Elvis film tonight. Have a good day all.

Sar53 Fri 24-Jun-22 07:34:52

Yes Gingster the Roslin, we have been before but always good.
I saw Lord of the Dance many years ago in London but love the show x

brook2704 Fri 24-Jun-22 07:35:44

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s looking like another gorgeous day. Yesterday was warm and sunny all day but with a bit of a breeze
I do remember all the sheep ? pantglas used to love seeing them as a child. Also many happy memories of going up, down and around the Gt Orme, the pier and Happy Valley!
Today I’m shopping this morning and then a trip to the gym for a splash around in the pool.
Enjoy your birthday afternoon tea Sar and the theatre, it sounds like a perfect day
Hope your DH appointment goes ok Gingster
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

kittylester Fri 24-Jun-22 07:41:16

Good morning all from a grey North Leicestershire.

Our cleaner is coming this morning and our bedroom chair is being returned after being recovered - hope we like it.

The promised redressing of our road didn't happen yesterday though the road did get swept.

Sending love and support to all.

dragonfly46 Fri 24-Jun-22 07:47:26

Good morning from misty Leicestershire.

Got lots of unusual plants at the plant swap yesterday so must put them in today.

I have my annual MOT at the GPs today. It doesn’t seem long since I had the last one. Then the rest of the day is mine!

Wishing every one a good day and flowers for Mattie you are very much in my thoughts.
? Urms about time they let you back!

Greyduster Fri 24-Jun-22 07:52:40

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Hope your visit to the GP goes well, Mick??. Light cloud in South Yorkshire this morning and I think we could get some rain. We had some yesterday evening. I spent last night at DDs and this morning I’m going into town to an art event at the central library. Should be interesting. Then I will go home and do some food shopping as DS is coming down to spend tomorrow with me. I hope the weather holds as he has offered to cut the big hedge.
GM I’m sorry to hear things didn’t go so well yesterday?. Hope today is better.
Have the best day you can folks.

Ashcombe Fri 24-Jun-22 07:53:41

Good morning from an overcast Torbay.

I’m late on parade after needing unwind time following last night's 'Allo, ‘Allo rehearsal at which I enjoyed reading in for Mimi and Colonel Schmelling! Yes, ShazzaKanazza, in answer to your comment yesterday, it’s a great hobby and the camaraderie that develops with fellow cast and crew members is heartwarming.

A new neighbour has moved into the flat below mine, following the sad death of the previous lovely guy last month. A few changes here recently but such is life!

A beautiful garden, grandMattie, which must be therapeutic for you on difficult days. I hope today is a better one for you both.

I’m going to my holiday static near Dartmoor for a few days where there is little hope of reliable WiFi so I might miss posting.

Happy weekend, whatever it brings! ?????

Gingster Fri 24-Jun-22 07:55:22

Thankyou brook. ?.

You can’t beat The Roslin Sar. Such a beautiful hotel. I’ve probably told you before that we spent our wedding night there in 1971. It was old but rather quirky . It was being on the seafront that attracted us. Now it’s a very upmarket and a lovely place to spend time. Enjoy! ?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 24-Jun-22 08:05:16

Morning all

Sar53 enjoy your afternoon tea at The Roslin, it’s a beautiful hotel with lovely food, especially Afternoon Tea (last time I went for tea was with DD, it was scrummy) do you know they have a small spa now? Love Lord of The Dance also.

We have The Imp today and school pick up for his brother, not sure what the plans are.

Keep safe and well folks ??‍♀️

Enid101 Fri 24-Jun-22 08:10:06

What’s happened to Urms? I miss her Northern input.
