Good Morning Saturday 27th August 2022

I meant to send my congratulations to Mr and Mrs Megs! ??

You’re another poster whose meals greatly appeal harrigran but I never know if you’re enjoying them with your son-in-law or sister-in-law. Whoever it is, I am green eyed.

Good Morning to you all from an overcast, but still warm & dry, Cambs.,

Many Happy Returns, hope you have a lovely Happy Birthday Urmstongran.

Congratulations to Meg36 & your DH, on your Anniversary, enjoy your special day together,

I wish all on holidays a safe & happy time.

Kind thoughts for all who are unwell or have extra worries.

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Yesterday was a mild day with just a gentle breeze, I sat in the garden and read a magazine in the morning to top up my vitamin D. Late afternoon I tended the patio pots, dead heading and watering. My geraniums and lavender have been wonderful this year.
Did some more weeding out of paperwork and discarding of old computer stuff, found a box of floppy discs

Sister and BIL visiting this afternoon, we will have a good natter over a glass of something fizzy
DS and family should be travelling home from Wales so won't be seeing them, they have been very quiet apart from the day of the GCSE results.
Happy Birthday Urmston, enjoy your day.

Happy birthday ?Urms .Good to see your cat ? is alive Ash .Have a lovely day with your daughter * Chrissie.It's a sunny day here nothing planned .Saw out first spider last night? I'm not a lover of them and can't settle after I've seen one I've been putting peppermint oil around doors and Windows .Have a good day everyone .

Good morning all, I slept until nearly 8, late for me. I spend a good part of yesterday in the kitchen, we have family for lunch today, six adults. I could see £££’s wafting out of the window with the oven and hob in use.
I can understand your reticence Sago I’d feel the same with my veg.
Good news on Cooper Ashcombe let’s hope for a full recovery.
A very Happy Birthday to you Urms have a thoroughly lovely day ???.
A downer on yesterday was the gearbox going on MrJ’s car, worse things can happen
Enjoy your day ??

Oh Urmstongran I am so sorry I forgot your birthday.

Wishing you the best day ????????

Please be #lazygran today, enjoy your special day, cava, tapas and cake ?

Good morning from sunny Sefton.
Great news of Cooper, poor chap. Ooh, I’m loving your cruise, Blue; the thought of your meal last night is making my mouth water. Coffee and walnut cake, grandMattie? Yum! Many happy returns Urmstongran and, belatedly, Beechnut. Sending best wishes to the wedding party Sago.

I’ve just been downstairs to make a cup of tea. Glaring at me defiantly and insolently was an air fryer (yes, we’re late to the party). Recalcitrant b****r it is. Would the chicken make a full turn on the rotisserie? No. Was the intention to have more butter, lemon zest and thyme on my hands rather than on the bird? No.

Folk on YouTube make it look so easy!
Gallivant. What a brilliant word and an excellent thought for the day. Whatever your plans, enjoy.

Stilllearning, thanks for that info. It's shocking! I wonder what constitues urgent.
My GP says that it looks like the only way to get help, would be to take myself to A&E, but it's too risky for me to be in hospital!
Between a rock and a hard place!

Good morning from sunny W Kent. Gardener first thing, he is painting the back fence for us. He is finding times hard as nobody has a lawn to be mown. A little light food shopping and two GC this evening whilst their parents go to a party. Must remember crisps.
Happy Birthday Urms and Happy Anniversary Meg36 and DH.
Glad Cooper has turned up, we also have a large ginger cat in the family.
Best wishes to all

Good morning from a bright and fairly sunny Black Country.

Had a BBQ last night, and we stayed out until after 10pm, although it was dark by 9pm. Didn't wake up until 8.30 which is most unusual, so not read all the posts properly.

Lovely sunny u3a walk yesterday along canal, then back along the Staffs railway walk to the cafe and a cuppa.

We have decided on a trip to Bewdley today on the bus. Lunch out and a walk to a campsite where they have a lovely delicatessen.

Happy Birthday Urms. Wishing you all a lovely day

GrandMattie - one of my daughters had that problem and her midwife at the time recommended using “liquid talc”. You used to be able to get it from Asda. Or you can get it here (I have no connection to this company )

Good morning all from sunny East Yorkshire.
Just read a few threads and so relieved for you Ash

Had a wonderful day at Bridlington with GS yesterday. On the way we talked about having fish and chips. He was most concerned about the seagulls getting our chips! I said we will be inside at a cafe so it would be ok. But grandma they might leave the door open. No they won’t J. But what about the windows they might be. ?‍♂️

No special plans today will see how the day develops.

Take care everyone.

Morning from sunny S Lanarkshire. Back home now and planning a very quiet weekend after my frantic week. Sometimes one realises one’s age!

Marydoll good luck with getting your endoscopy results, I am still waiting after nine weeks, I called the consultant’s secretary last week and was told that biopsy results are currently taking ten weeks to come back.

Happy birthday Urms, lovely that the weather has cooled slightly for you!

Nice for your daughter to have a relaxing time with you today Chrissielou, have a good afternoon.

Wishing everyone a peaceful day ???

Happy 62nd Wedding Anniversary to Meg36 and her DH ?

BlueSapphire thankyou for the cruise pictures they are fabulous.

Yes Urms it was mentioned in the song...our second son fell in love with surfing in Biarritz..hence he ended up in Australia...we have some of our old receipt from our holidays...and just the sail to Santander now costs more than our holiday for six of us...we also went with Eurocamp Ladyleftfieldlover loved their mobile homes...happy days ?

Happy birthday Urms!
Love Matt today. If you didn’t laugh you’d cry!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cool cloudy South Yorkshire. DD has just brought me a cup of coffee. I will go home after breakfast. Yesterday’s boot buying was a complete failure as they didn’t have the ones GS wanted in his size and he wasn’t keen on any of the others (truth is, he didn’t want to be there - getting them fitted properly was too much fuss for him (“why do we need to buy socks? Why are there so many different kinds??” We left when steam started quietly issuing from his ears!). We will try again at a later date, as he doesn’t need them until October. Teenagers! Spare me! I am looking forward to a quiet weekend - may factor in a longer walk than I have been doing recently. I thought about driving into the Peak District but on a Bank Holiday that probably isn’t the best idea.
Happy birthday Urms!??
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning everyone.
Bit of food shopping to do and then take the dog up to the secure field for a good run.
Rest of the day is undecided but will probably include some sewing and drawing.
Happy birthday Urmstongran
Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and sunny with partial cloud. Ashcombe that is such good news about your cat! I hope he recovers quickly. Happy birthday to Urms too.
Yesterday I pottered about and did all the housework and changed bedding etc. I ordered a new quilt to go on top of the duvet for winter and I'll pick it up on Monday. Today I'm having both boys for a couple of hours this morning, to let dd get more organised for their holiday. Apart from that, it'll be fairly quiet. Have a good day all

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull.
? Sago. Safe journey to France. Hope your plants get watered.

Happy birthday to our lovely Urmstongran ??. Matt made me laugh this morning.

Ashcombe so pleased your cat is ok. Fingers crossed he’ll be back to full health soon.

We have DD and GDs coming today which is always lovely as they are so much fun. GD1 will love all the red tomatoes hanging now and will be out eating them like apples. She can help us pull some beetroot and we can cook it for tea for her.
Had a bit of a difficult day with GS yesterday which I’m still kind of trying to get my head around. So worrying. ?
Tonight DS is staying with his new lady who is very nice they are at a bbq. DH and I will chill with a glass of wine and I’ve seen there is a comedy film on Netflix with Kevin Hart who I really like. I need a laugh.

Have a good day everyone and extra thoughts and hugs to those struggling with life’s challenges. ??

Good morning from south somerset, a beautiful sparkling sunny day.

I need to get myself out and am getting ready for a longer
cycle ride along lanes and by orchards. So happy to be in nature with no chit chat. On my ebike today

Traffic will be sparse on these lanes, main roads will be busy so am staying off them today

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another warm, dry day which is unusual for a Bank Holiday weekend. No plans apart from watering the garden.

Happy Birthday Urms

Love to all ?x

Oh, happy birthday Urms. ????

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Yesterday was spent at Dudley zoo with the boys. Youngest stated he was living the dream while bouncing up and down on the bungee ropes.
Glad to see you've found Cooper Ash hope the vet can sort him out.
Happy birthday Urmstongran ???.
Over to out friends in Redditch this evening.
Washing just finished and full English calling so will catch up with everybody's news later.
Enjoy your Saturday whatever your plans and may you all find some ?.
