Good morning, Michael, and all GNs from a cool cloudy South Yorkshire. Yesterday I just got home from shopping when it started to rain - for about a minute and a half and then it stopped. Didn’t even wet the ground. GS is coming over for the day today and we have brambles and nettles to chop down again behind the garden wall. He’ll enjoy that. Then I am going to make a start on clearing out the shed. Later we are cooking rib eye steak dinner with all the trimmings (it’s cheaper than taking him out!!).
Happy birthday Grammaretto!??Enjoy your day.
A good day to one and all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
It's my birthday again. Goodness it comes round often!
I have my Kiwi family staying and there's a Festival in Edinburgh so plenty of fun to be had.
We will do a trip to the tip ? first.
Much needed rain again today. I wish for rain for all of you who need some too. Some photos from yesterday's walk.

Good morning from Shropshire.It’s still warm but we had some rain yesterday with more forecast for this afternoon.

I am pleased your appointment went well grandMattie.

I haven’t had much sleep as I too have a dental appointment today.I have had a dental phobia all my life and get myself in such a state.

Have a good day everyone??

Good Morning everyone from an overcast Severnside. Rain yesterday morning and cooler throughout the day.

Today I have swimming and my annual review at the surgery. A little anxious about it but I’m nowhere near as bad as I was last year. Got myself into a right pod tizzy.

Have a good day all, good news Mattie ??

Good morning. It’s overcast again in E Kent. I’m never sure if I like the cloud cover - it is less hot in the day, but much hotter at night.
My dermatology appointment took 10 minutes. The very nice young man told me I had nothing to worry about as the ‘mole’ was nothing more than a fancy “old age wart”! Phew.
Today, I have my T’ai Chi class with my lovely friends. This afternoon, I’m at the dentist. I can give them the latest from the dermatologist.
Ages ago, DH won some vouchers from Cook! We never did anything about it, but I shall on my way home from the dentist.
Hope the (marginally for us) cooler weather suits more of us wrinklies. Carpe diem. ??❤️???

Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy S Hants, we’ve had no rain yet, I’m fingers crossed for today.
Slightly cooler yesterday, so household jobs put off for a few days were done in the morning.
Admin today, car service and eye test to book. I’m also holiday cover on the voluntary phone with a drive late morning.
Enjoy your day all ??

I’m usually not up early enough to join the good morning thread. Can’t get back to sleep after a trip to the loo. But here’s my ‘Good morning’, to Mick, Shazza and all who follow- have a great day all !

Good morning Mick and all to follow.
Been awake since 4.30, too warm to sleep so got up and put the fan on.
The expected thunder did not materialise and neither did the rain, shame as I didn't water the plants last night.
Nothing planned for today, might catch up with some TV.

ShazzaKanazza Tue 16-Aug-22 06:00:51

Good Morning Mick and everyone. It’s very misty this morning in Hull. We had rumblings of thunder at tea time yesterday and a good shower enough so DH didn’t need to water the garden. We are due quite a few showers today. ?

I’m up early as I have to be in Bridlington by 8-30 to take my uncle to Scarborough for a slit lamp eye test for his diabetes. He’s still waiting for his letter for his second cataract operation to be done. He says ‘if I don’t get it by Christmas I’ll ask them to take my eye out and put a glass one in’. ?

Have a good day everyone if you can. My thoughts to those struggling with illness and worries. ??

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dry but grey cloud start here in brackley this morning ,and still as yet no rain locally , with hardly any breeze .

Anyway plan to bus to Bicester early this morning for a change of Scenery .
Take Care,
Mick
