Good morning all.
I am planning to spend the day making 10 fabric glass cases. I also need to re hem some trousers and the do some ‘homework ‘ for my drawing course.
The time will fly by.
Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning from a grey, Sahara-dry E Kent.
Had a better night last night, but was tucked in bed by 2130, and asleep soon after. Woke up around 0400.
The lunch was a great success, the “girls” were here for over 3 hours. We only had cold roast chicken, salad and bread with “Elton tidy” as the (home made) meringues were intact and cream was added according to taste. I did enjoy myself, but it wore me out. Curiously, the most popular item was my homemade mayonnaise.
Later, I had a call from one of DH’s old school friends. It is really heartwarming how they stay in touch with me, as we barely know each other.
Today, I’ve got a day’s sewing with my lovely WI federation group. It’s a 30 minute drive from here, but I really enjoy their company and haven’t seen them for nearly a year, with one thing or another.
Hope the poorly feel better and cope with what life throws at them, and that every has a gentle day. Carpe diem. ???❤️?

Good morning, all, from an overcast Torbay.

A similar task here, BlueBalou as we have our decorator coming in while we’re in France to rectify damp issues in the second bedroom. This is entirely the fault of the builders next door who exposed my internal wall to the elements but refuse to compensate me, blaming my lifestyle for the mould. Really? After seven years without damp issues? I am too old to fight this via small claims, especially with my current heart issues. At least I know my decorator will do a first class job.

After clearing the room and packing, we shall set off for Portsmouth, then by Ferry to Ouistreham tomorrow. My DS and DGS3 didn’t visit yesterday as the child was ill with suspected tonsillitis. Disappointing all round. I hope he is well enough to travel home to Staffs today.

Happy hump day! ?????

Good morning Mick and everyone, it’s a dry start here and no signs of rain for the next couple of weeks ☹️
I hope you have a success arranging the hospital appointment and that all’s well.
Big sort out today, DH is going away to help DD, I have carpets being fitted next week and I need to empty the bedrooms of as much as possible by moving stuff downstairs. I will be knackered by the weekend!
Take care everyone x

Hola Mick and all who follow from Andalusia ? where we had an earthquake yesterday! ? I did notice but as we’ve had workmen digging up the road outside mi Casa thought it was their pneumatic drill ?‍♀️

Off to our local market with a friend this morning and will stop for coffee at another friend’s bar on the way back before reading on the terrace this afternoon ?

Sorry to read of DDs poor health kitty ?treatment is successful x

Lovely cruise photos and hearing tales of travels near and far - hope all go smoothly and weather is clement ?
