Good Morning Friday 15th July 2022

Greyduster commiserations! Take it easy and rest until it settles down.
Thank you all for your best wishes. I have just arranged some lovely flowers.
I must go and make sausage rolls for the freezer. The sausage meat and pastry are waiting for me in the fridge.
Make the most of this cooler day.

Late I know just wanted to say Happy birthday Ginny

I’d laugh but it hurts?.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday ginny ???

Thanks for the warning Greyduster I was planning on doing a bit later ?

Good Morning from a very dry & warm Cambs.,

Congratulations Mr&MrsTopsy on your wedding anniversary, hope you have a lovely day.

Happy Birthday ginny, enjoy your special day.

Thinking of all who are "under the weather", ,warm wishes for those poorly daughters.

for you all.

Another lovely day here in Oxfordshire, bracing ourselves for an excessively hot few days, with a red weather warning now in place!
Lots of garden watering being done every evening and late dog walks. We've started to pick the first crop of tomatoes, early this year.
Thank you for such kindness, I do appreciate it, it is difficult to watch our DDs struggling isn't it Kittylester, but they will triumph and be healthy again and it will all have been worth it.
Weekend is almost here so I send you all and

Good morning all from cloudy Harrogate- might have a spot of rain today.!
GM you are not getting forgetful, you have a lot to think about and have to think in a different way!
Would love to see Andre Rieu live,GDS enjoy!!
Happy anniversary Mr & MrsTopsy
I learnt this week my cousin has a brain tumour. She is the same age as myself and lives not too far away. The prognosis is not good. She list her husband 4 years ago, her son 2 years ago- how unlucky is that?
We had a lunchtime call yesterday to go to an afternoon tea at DGDs school. It was very pleasant. Have something else to go to this pm
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Washing on the line and the garden watered will now catch up with everybody's happenings.
Best wishes to anyone celebrating, safe travels for those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your Friday and may you all find some ?.

Good morning from a sunny but cooler W Kent. Out and about whilst it is cooler, GD1 is off tomorrow for long holiday with her other granny abroad so dishing out the last of our Euros for her to take with her, we won't have any use for them this year.
Good wishes to all.

Many happy returns of the day to you ginny!
And happy WA to Mr & Mrs Topsy ?

Choosing a chair to replace DH’s riser recliner (bought for his 6’ 4” height and long legs and totally unsuitable for short me) this morning and ear syringing this afternoon - actually quite a joyful day, especially if I can hear better at the end. Must organise myself for the next few days so that I can avoid being out when it is really hot though I must say keeping the house cool involves more activity than I had expected. Currently all windows at the front, in sun, are curtained and closed, those at the back, in shade, are wide open. Process reversed as the sun moves round. We will soon be lamenting the inevitable thunderstorms which will conclude the heatwave!

Happy Birthday Ginny

Happy Anniversary Nannytopsy

Good morning Mick and everyone from dark, rainy Carlisle.
I hope you enjoy your catch up with the Tour, Mick. What a great stage it was, I won't mention the results!
I woke up to the news headlines which put me in a gloom. One of them was about the rail unions strikes set for 2 days in August. One of them coincides with one of my travelling days to pick up my cruise so I am going to have to work up a plan B. I don't want to cancel plan A in case they settle the claim. I've been looking forward to my holidays after 2 years of none, I've already had to cancel one for health reasons so I'm definitely not a happy bunny now with the prospects of another being messed up. Nil desperandum is my motto though so I shall carry on and re-organise.
I'll also take advantage of a rainy day in and finish off my boring admin and, after over a year in my new home, it's time to take a look at my cupboards and have a possible re-sort and clear out. I've still got too much stuff. I'll also be giving my sister a call, we like to set the world to rights every week.

Have the best possible day all of you.

Good morning Mick and all. It’s cooler and cloudy in my corner of Lancashire. The air feels damp. Currently 16°C.

A day of housework and catching up today.

to all going through difficult times.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cloudy, breezy, cool South Yorkshire. I felt a bit stranded yesterday as my car was in for service and they had it all day. I don’t feel inclined to use the bus at the moment. Had a long chat with my best friend and also with my son, who cheered me up no end. He has promised me he will start playing his saxaphone again. I think playing music is good for you. He says the family won’t thank me for suggesting it! I have to go to the local M&S this afternoon to pick up some trousers I ordered, but it will be a quick in and out.
Corner your photos are lovely. Love Lyme Regis.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from me Scottish Borders where it's cold and raining. St Swithin's day of course.
At least I don't have to water the garden.
Unlike your easy drive yesterdayMaw my journey back from the Highlands with my cousin was dire. She noticed the unnecessarily complicated road signs but the worst was finding road closed signs and passing a dreadful accident. It was worth it to spend time with the DGC and my French visitor had prepared a scrumptious meal for us on our late return.
Happy anniversary Mr&Mrs Topsy
Thinking of all those struggling with challenges.

Good morning everyone, it’s another lovely sunny start here in my corner of Wiltshire, there’s a pleasant breeze.
Just back from walking DDog, I drove to the village and we circuited a big field twice, probably 2.5 miles? It took an hour of steady walking (me!) and crazy circles (DDog ?) so now she’s flat out snoring.
Housework this morning, change the bed etc. At least the washing dries quickly!
Hope you all have a good day x

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire where we are between showers.

Another wet Fair Friday! This is the start of the traditional Glasgow Fair fortnight when factories and engineering works (when we had them) used to close for the annual holiday.

We spent a pleasant couple of hours in the cafe at Holyrood Palace yesterday with DS’s family and my brother and partner. We are regulars there and I filled up my loyalty card again.

DH has golf booked but is checking the forecast anxiously so I may not have my empty after all. I’m looking forward to a quiet day.

Have the best day possible everyone. ?

Good morning all from a very wet Glasgow On this occasion I welcomed the sound of rain last night which allowed me a night off from turning on sprinklers and watering pots. Every cloud….

DH’s appointments yesterday couldn’t have gone better as all staff concerned, were extremely pleased with his progress. I was especially pleased for DH to have such reassuring news, the look on his face said it all and we returned home in a much lighter mood.

DD2 is taking GD1 for a driving lesson today and this afternoon treating both GDs to lunch in town. Both girls are loving having time with their Aunt before she returns to Australia. A fact I refuse to dwell on.

kitty and chrissielou. I send much love and strength to your girls. Such a painful time for all of you.

Happy Anniversary Mr&MrsTopsy ?
Marydoll Always in my thoughts through your struggles dear friend. x

Hoping today is a good day for all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cloudy and much cooler than the last few days. Yesterday we had a bit of drizzley rain but nothing much
A very Happy Birthday ginny enjoy your special day and Happy Anniversary nannytopsy! ????
Today I’ve got a routine check up at the hospital, then the Aqua class at the gym followed by a coffee and a long catch up with my gym pal. DGS returns from his cub camp today and DD2 and the rest of the family all return from their holidays, hoping they’ve all had a great time!
Thinking of those with worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Have a very Happy Birthday ginny ???

Happy birthday, ginny and anniversary wishes for Mr & Mrs Topsy. ???

Good morning - looks like another scorcher here in Leicestershire.

GrannyGravy your experience of cruising was identical to ours - Norway, good friends, not sure if I want to go again!

Happy Anniversary NannyTopsy and Happy Birthday ginny.

Nothing planned today but thinking of those who are unwell and particularly those whose daughters are undergoing treatment. It is very gruelling for all concerned.
