Good Morning Everyone,
A bright sunny start here in brackley this morning .
I have still yet to attempt trips further afield, as it was HOT yesterday .
I was having a bad day etc due to lack of breeze in the air but managed OK .
I also picked up prescriptions from local Boots , but is was queing again as one person at a time being served .
I also ordered my lateral flow kit from NHS as with the forthcoming endoscopy appointment I need to show a negative .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning Mick and all. It’s a lovely sunny day in my corner of Lancashire. Currently 19°C and promising to get much warmer.

It was my birthday a few days ago and Mr. B took me for a wander around the Dales. It was unexpected, and very much appreciated as I have been feeling rather low recently following a couple of falls. My mobility is very poor now and I will need to work hard if I don’t want to become housebound. I have eaten far too many naughty treats and thoroughly enjoyed them grin. Today will be a very lazy one.

I really admire your resilience GrandMattie and the way you calmly get on with what needs doing. It’s good that you have your family around you.

It’s lovely to see you back with us Urms, you have been missed. Waving to the crumpet queen, hoping she is well.

That is such a sweet story about your GD Shazza, may she never lose that enthusiasm.

Good news Kalu, you must be relieved.

Good to hear you sounding more like yourself Marydoll and that your family are taking care of you (when you let them!).

Hope all our poorly grans are soon on the mend. Enjoy the day everyone ??

Good morning,
There’s still a bit of cloud cover, but the sun is breaking through and it’s getting warmer.

Going to friends later for a BBQ, which should be nice.

This morning will potter with a few jobs.

Take care everyone.

Good morning everyone from a dull Co Armagh, it’s nice and cool just now , long time since I last thought that !
Welcome back our norty duo !
That was funny , your SIL not hanging out your unmentionables Marydoll
I’m in a dilemma about booking a short bus trip to Wexford , all our locals from the Village club are thinking about it , should be fun , but me and my Walker will be in a pickle keeping up with them

Georgesgran, I grew up in a small pit village near Durham and remember well the colliery brass band playing with the banner proudly displayed behind, marching through our village very early in the morning of Big Meeting Day.

Morning, All. good to see urms and maw back though I'm shocked that there even is a Norty Step.

Wellness and healing wishes to all who need them ? and a wee pic of my awakening sky at the back of 0400. I've done a washing load, hung it out, yanked out bracken, superfluous birches and hollies, walked along the beach and up a track even rougher than ours to a friend's house to water her houseplants (it's raining in Costa Rica apparently) and then back home over the heifer-less fields probably collecting a tick or too along the way.

Urms, I wouldn't know if I was coming or going........

Late the party so I haven’t read all the posts. Apologies.
Good to see you’re doing so well Mattie. You are one special lady.

Stunning sky Baggs.

Good afternoon everyone, bit late reading everything today but I am now sat in the garden, under the fig tree with wood pigeons swooping around and the cat going mad trying to catch them. I am waiting for Amazon man to deliver my camera for my cycle helmet and then I shall be a happy bunny cycling to do my shopping. Welcome back to the two naughty grans, I did miss you Urm and wondered where you were. Ah think a van has just stopped outside could be my head camera,
