Good Morning Friday 29th July 2022

Good morning. Same indifferent weather here in N. Bucks. Not cold but no blue skies.
Not much planned for today. Some food rep. ready for DD1 and SIL tomorrow.
I might wander down to the local art club this morning with a view to joining.
Thoughts with all who are poorly or dealing with others who are.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where its 12°C.
Yet another night with little sleep and I'm wide awake now.

DD and I had a lovely morning out, passing the time until she could pick the keys to their new home. It's in the next village to us, so she will only be ten minutes away from us and five from DS1.
They were very fortunate, since up to twenty people are bidding for houses here and houses are being snapped up in days, tens of thousands of pounds over their value.
The garden centre lived up to its reputation, thank for the recommendation, Kalu.
It was very busy, (it seems I am even more vulnerable now), so we sat outside, with views right across Glasgow to the Kilpatrick Hills. An added bonus, the cakes were amazing!
Unfortunately, my credit card did not remaining in my purse!
I was exhausted, but in good spirits, with a good excuse for resting all afternoon. ?

I have to pop to Silverburn, to return a jacket to Silverburn, which looks nothing like its picture and a dress to Next, which makes me look nine months pregnant. My stomach is permanently swollen at the moment, not a good look, when you aspire to being a chic, stylish 68 year old. ?

This afternoon, DH and I are having a tour of the new house. DD wanted me to accompany her yesterday, because SIL had to work. I declined, because I felt they should see it together and alone for the first time.?
Much to their surprise, the lady left her fridge freezer, (saving them a lot of money) and a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Wishing you all the best of days. I hope the mums had a good day with their boys yesterday and those struggling have a peaceful day. ?

Morning Mick, morning All. A bright start to our corner of Somerset, sunshine promised.

Serious dust removal today as we have friends coming to stay for a few days at the weekend, the second time they have risked my cooking this year, brave folk indeed. Best do a top up shop too. Also get plant watering instructions from a friend who is going walkabout tomorrow.

That does sound a very productive day grandm, I love cold turkey, happy to help you out. Safe journey greyd and anyone else on the move today.

Hope Friday is kind to us all.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. I am having a baking day today and probably a bit of admin too. I heard yesterday that my brother in Australia is back in hospital with heart problems. I am in a WhatsApp group with his two daughters and my sister and we are being kept up to speed by his partner. It’s a worrying time.

Good morning all, high cloud in S Hants, I share your rain envy grandMattie next Friday our hosepipe ban starts, I’m not surprised.
I’ve a few lifts to sort from being on the voluntary phone yesterday, supermarket delivery this afternoon and bowls early evening.
Our new bedroom window was fitted yesterday, very quick they were and tidy, now to source blinds.
Enjoy your day, thoughts with those struggling ??.

Good morning Michael and all GNs. It’s cloudy and damp in Northumberland at the moment. The last day of a lovely holiday. After breakfast at Barter Books and a visit to Cragside we will be on our way home to South Yorkshire. Next time I open my bedroom curtains I shall miss seeing the sea and a host of wonderful birds at the bottom of the garden!
Enjoy your day, one and all!

Good morning from an overcast E Kent. Georgesgran, I’m so envious of your rain.
Yesterday was very productive. DS and I cleared out a number of books, both his and mine, Philip’s too, clothes, and took them to various charity shops. Most of Philip’s books were rescued from pulping; he worked at a paper recycling plant and he got all sorts of stuff from there.
Today, a visit to the tip, with garden stuff, shredded papers of DH’s, old electrics, etc.
Had cold turkey last night - still enough for another 4-5 days. I have never liked turkey!
Hope all our poorly GMmers feel better. Carpe diem. ????

Good morning from Durham, where it’s raining. A poor night as I’ve made a difficult decision to sell a house that I rent out - I feel unreasonably guilty. A busy day in store - Gardener this morning. DD2’s dogs to take back, a quick coffee with her, then I need to book Estate Agents to value the rental property. BF going away for a few days and wants me to have her key to pick up post, etc.
I’ll read this thread later, but wish everyone a decent weekend.
