Good Morning Wednesday 10th August 2022

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° but feels warmer. There are blue skies too. It looks lovely outside. Us northern folk don't get spells of weather like this often. Rain is usually the order of the day,so I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
Yesterday's dentist appointment was not as bad as I feared. My broken tooth is going to have a white filling. If that doesn't work then she'll put a crown in. I'm back next week for some gum work and the fillings. I'm pleased it isn't more as it's nearly four years since I saw a dentist.
Today I'll visit mum as usual. Then I'm going for lunch to a friend who was bereaved last year and has struggled with depression since. His partner always did the cooking so I think he's a bit nervous too. I'm looking forward to seeing him again. There will be a small group of us and we know each other well, so lots of chatting. Later I'll potter about the house and garden. Have a good day all

Good morning all from a sunny but sticky North Leicestershire- mind you, the sticky might be having 2 DGDs in bed.

I don't think I've posted for the last couple of days - there has been a lot of life going on here.

Congratulations Topsy on your new grandson.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
Congratulations for your new DGS, I’m sure you will enjoy meeting him today Nannytopsy
Enjoy your trip Sars sound idyllic for this weather.
Nothing much doing today, but the washing machine will be busy. I have to pop in to the surgery this am and also to try out a new to me coffee shop. I may catch up with friends later
Have the best day possible folks.

Good morning everyone from yet another sunny and bright day in Northampton. I have all the blinds and curtains closed at the back of the house, and will do the same at the front this afternoon.

Have a charity sack to fill for tomorrow, so I aim to bite the bullet and send some of late DH's last remaining clothes which I have been holding onto for no other reason than sentimental.

Then this afternoon I shall sit out in a shady spot in the garden to read and listen to the radio.

One week from today I shall be excitedly waiting for my car to pick me up and take me to Dover for my cruise!

Urmston, the book I have just finished is Bel Canto by Ann Patchett. It tells the fictional story of a group of hostages and their captors in an equally fictional Latin American country - I was mightily disappointed with the ending. I have just started Would I Lie to You, by Aliya Ali-Afzal which is more at the chick-lit end of the spectrum, which I don't normally read, but I needed something lighter and easier after the last book.

Have a pleasant Wednesday everyone.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Hot and dry again.
Missing Wednesday morning coffee meetup as were visiting DD2 and DGS2. DGS (age 7) has requested a picnic at a local playground. I'm slapping on suncream and a hat.
Love to all ? x

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s sunny and we’ve a forecast of 24º here today ?
Enjoy your special cuddles with your new DGS today nannytopsy
I travelled home from Cambridge yesterday, the journey was good with no delays or but the train was busy. A lovely welcome as DH met me at the station with DGD in tow, she’s was here for a sleepover last night as DD2 and DGS are away in Glasgow. This morning I think I’ll take her swimming at the pool in the gym and then a picnic in the park.
Enjoy your boat trip Sar it sounds just lovely ⛵️
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Morning all from what promises to be a boiling hot West Oxfordshire. I have still got lots of books etc., to put back now the decorators have finished. They were brilliant and we said we would give them a 5 star review! I have a hair appointment late afternoon to have my roots done. I’m not ready to go totally grey yet! I also have things to drop off at the local charity shops.

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. It’s a lovely sunny morning here.

I enjoyed a lovely lunch with the coffee morning ladies yesterday. We are all looking forward to holidays, trips out and for one an imminent new grandchild. Exciting times.

Enjoy cuddles today Nannytopsy

Another go with the flow day for me.

Take care everyone.

Morning everyone! An exciting day as we are off to meet our new grandson who was born on Sunday. Can’t wait!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Leicester. We have guests coming today from Spain. Im looking forward to spending a couple of days with them before they stay in our house whilst we are away for a week.
Needless to say, lots of cleaning and bed making occurred yesterday!
An early start this morning. My clothes must be moved from my bedroom, then I’ll go shopping at opening time so we can have our dog walk before their arrival.
Have the best Wednesday that you can, everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All. You guessed it, a blue sky over our corner of Somerset. We seem to be in the firing line for the very hot weather this week having missed most of the last really hot days.

Yesterday mornings trip to the beach extended to lunch time, we found both shade and a breeze, very pleasant. After much faffing with our non functioning dash cam along with many a strong word we trundled to the supplier where it was fixed in seconds. Success if embarrassing as it was so simple. A long chat to our goddaughter and a rifle through my wardrobe filled the rest of the afternoon. One rail has produced a large bag for the charity shop. More to follow.

Some dust removal, a grocery delivery and more wardrobe culling on the cards today. Won’t see you all tomorrow as Mr C has an unreasonably early cardiology appointment. Hope the hospital air conditioning is working.

Take care everyone. Hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Good morning from E Kent. No point giving the weather, you know what it is!
Nice to see you back, taichinan. I had been wondering how you were.
Hope all went well with the first performance, Ash. ?
Had a long chat with DD yesterday. The girls are with their other grandparents and she and her DH were going out to dinner and theatre/cinema. Apparently, the aircon wasn’t working and they were offered alternative tickets next week. They can’t go, so opted to boil. I hope it wasn’t too dreadfully hot.
Today, I’m visiting a friend and her little DGD. Should be fun.
Hope people and their loved ones in sick bay have a better day. Carpe diem.????❤️

An early good morning from Essex by the sea. The sun is already shining and we are off early today on our first trip out in our boat.
We are visiting a couple of marinas up the east coast, back on Friday afternoon.
We won't have any WiFi so not sure if I will be able to post.
Enjoy the next few days and stay safe in the heat to come. Love to all xx
