Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Nothing at all planned for today so will relax. We seem to have been very busy recently.

I hope your DH’s UTI clears up soon Mattie.
Welcome back Urms.
Best wishes to all.

Good morning from Shropshire.

A quiet day planned with Miss M.She is happy playing in peace without Henry smashing all her creations up.Lego and Barbie’s are the order of the day.We will take her home at teatime.

I hope the antibiotics kick in soon for your DH grandMattie.UTI’s are horrendous.Years ago I remember an elderly lady on the ward I worked on being brought in by two burly policeman.She was raving but it turned out to be a UTI and a week later the sweetest little lady was discharged.When he finishes his antibiotics get another sample checked,I am sure the district nurses will suggest it but it’s important as quite often a second course is needed.

Hope Marydoll is ok???hopefully hear from her today

Have the best day you can everyone??

Good morning Mick and all from bright and sunny but very windy Anglesey.
It’s rained all night so will not have to water the garden today.
I’ll be busy doing nothing today after a week of visitors and painters.
Wishing you all peace and contentment.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s the start of another glorious day. As you can imagine this heat and sunshine suits me down to the ground. All’s quiet here, no trains squealing into the station opposite as it’s another day of the rail strike.

We have no calls on our time until 5pm when we are babysitting. Had to laugh the other day as L’il Miss and I walked home from the park:

Me: ‘oh look at these pretty flowers in this garden’.
L’il Miss: ‘what are they called grandma?’
Me: ‘fuschia. See how the pink & purple dangle down from the leaves’
Leila Miss: ‘they look just like earrings!’.

That’s what I shall always liken them to now. ?

Enjoy Saturday all who can and special thoughts to those amongst us who can’t right now. x

Good morning from another lovely day in Essex by the sea.
Afternoon Tea yesterday was lovely and Lord of the Dance was brilliant, even DH said he enjoyed it.
Today we are having new fencing to one side of our car park, they will be here at 7.30 so I need to get dressed.
No other plans today.
Have a lovely Saturday everyone, much love xx

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is up in South Yorkshire but thankfully there’s a breeze blowing. DD is doing the Round Sheffield Run today so the breeze will help keep the temperatures down. My trip to the Central Library yesterday was very good; a hands on art session which I found very therapeutic. My son is coming down to spend the day with me today and we will hopefully get the hedge at the back of the garden wall cut back, and maybe fit a walk in too. It will be good to see him.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good Morning from sunny Severnside.

Definitely going to clean my car today. I’ll start as soon as possible after 7am. In the meantime I am tracking my brothers plane. It’s over the Irish Sea right now. I shall wave as it comes over the channel even if I can’t see it in the sky.

Have a good day all and welcome back Urms ???

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I’m still in bed listening to the pigeons, cooing, and wondering why I didn’t sleep well last night. I will be volunteering at a nearby interesting historic house all day. OH said he would cook bangers and mash for dinner. ??? to lots of you.

Morning from sun in S Hants, just switched the slow cooker off, a gammon is now cooked. Family over for lunch, mid point between two birthdays, we didn’t risk a bbq as the forecast was iffy.
MrJ will grab my paper when he gets up, but I doubt it will get glimpsed until later today.
Have the best day you can ??

Good morning from a bright E Kent. It reached 24C by early evening, which is far too hot for me. Hopefully today will be less hot.
Was exiled upstairs yesterday as DH has a bladder infection which has made him completely doolally and sapped him of what little strength he had in his legs. Moving him is impossible. One good thing is that he is obedient and will sip water/drink when offered it. He doesn’t remember that it was only 10 minutes since the last sip!
Shall be upstairs until I can manage to move DH down. Then I shall have to think of where I’ll sleep… but at least I’ll be able to move around and do stuff, while being able to hear him. His voice has gone.
It’s lovely to see you again, Urms. Marydoll, I hope you’re ok and managing to rest.
With hope that today is kind to everyone. Carpe diem. ?????

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a bright north Wales- it seems doubly appropriate for me to be using the chamberpot this morning after reading your post….?

I shall trot along for a ? after finishing my brew then to the allotment later to replenish my veggie supplies before my EV brunch - always think of her as I slather the ? on?

I’m off to a curry at a friend’s this evening but will drive and won’t stay late as I’m enjoying a ‘dry’ spell after my overindulgences in ??. MrPG fell at the first hurdle at DDs barbie earlier this week and commented on the lack of bottles in our recycling….?

Hope everyone has a peaceful weekend x

Good morning Mick, it’s a sunny start here too in Wiltshire.
The house is in complete mayhem because of decorating and a wonderful carpenter making built in wardrobes so at least it’s pointless trying to do housework at the moment!
I need to do yet more furniture jenga over the weekend in preparation for the bedrooms getting decorated next week. I will have yet more stuff going to the charity shop so that’s good.
DDog walk first though, I love our early morning walks -especially if we go across the fields- it’s so peaceful.
Hope everyone has a peaceful weekend x
