Goooood morning everyone x

Good afternoon everyone ?

Mick's morning thread is great but it's nice to have an afternoon one too.

Good to see your hip op is going well Fanny.

& its good afternoon from me!
In my view we can`t have too many friendly, cheery threads.

Enjoy taking your dog for a walk Fanny. Glad you are now able to do it. I'm off out to buy yet more bug killer spray for my bay tree. It's been a bad summer for bugs.

Good afternoon everyone from sunny Provence .

Might be good to have an alternative Good morning / Afternoon thread - with different people posting

And good morning again on Monday, -bank holiday. The last one until Christmas. It's a beautiful day here in south Dartmoor.

Yes, that has always seemed a long stretch without a Bank Holiday.

Perhaps we should campaign for one.

Good afternoon everyone.

Good afternoon all. It’s good to see so many happy with Serendipity’s thread ?

Good afternoon all, I’m sure people can post in more than one thread if they want to. I just have

You sound fitter Fanny, enjoy your walk. I’ve never cleaned the back of the freezer!

Thank you for your kind wishes Jacky, Aldom and Blossoming

Yes, it was a start! DH has various issues, so it was great for both of us.
And Gracie was over the moon!

As for threads, I don’t think that we can have to many friendly, benign threads at the moment.
I’m not a Potterhead by any stretch, but it does seem a bit good v evil recently.

Blossoming re the freezer, I’m not entirely convinced anymore that I’ll be cleaning behind mine either now!

Good afternoon Aldom and all.
I’m shortly going to do something momentous (and it’s not hoovering the back of the freezer, I think I’ll give that a mid just a teeny bit longer)
I’m going to take the dog for a walk!
Something I haven’t done for well over two years! ??

Fantastic Fanny ... its a very positive step and i say WELL DONE.

Regarding the Laurence of Arabian picnic ( haaaa ) YES, it was fabulous, in fact sooooo fabulous I almost proceeded with a belly dance, but thought it a stupid idea considering I would end up flat on my face haaaaa.

Hope you enjoyed your afternoon Fanny AND EVERYONE ELSE ......

Let's do a Good Afternoon thread, I prefer that, as I am always in a hurry in the morning

Let's do a Good Afternoon thread, I prefer that, as I am always in a hurry in the morning

That would be lovely. A great idea.
And I’d suggest that anyone can start it.
In fact anyone can start any thread at any time!

Good morning and good afternoon one and all! ??

Good idea Fanny and rafichagran. Well done to Jax for the suggestion earlier on too.
I'm either a late riser or the alarm's set early because it's work, work, work on our new home and I hate to think what is at the back of our fridge freezer Fanny, but will have to do it soon as it's going over to the new house.

Good Afternoon other posters...and hope that your Bank Holiday Monday has gone really well. Serendip you just cannot be serious with an apology for wishing everyone a happy day! Go for it, do as you wish. GN actually write the rules here. You'll find out it doesn't work only when all you hear is silence, so until then you need to be a big influence in cheeriness and chat and hope that a whole bunch of lovely people drop in to entertain.

The Good Morning thread is Mick's. That's going to run and run and he's the last person to complain about what others are doing. So fill yer boots and make some happy sounds which most of us are pleased to hear. Perhaps if you call it "Bellydancing for Beginners" there'd be no need for any confusion?!

Without your starting this thread, Fanny might have been stuck at the back of the freezer, Gracie totally despondent and Mr FC doomed to spend more time indoors. Instead, ta!dah!
Family Cornforth on the move and in cheery mode. And, of course, most of us would never know about your weakness for Turkish Delight. (My DH would make a 'bleugh' noise at that, but you can't please all of the people!)

Hope lots of people post about any old thing - and have some fun.

GrandmaFrench ?
Well, aren’t you lovely!

Good afternoon what a refreshing change.
Have a great afternoon and Hi Grandmafrench ?

What a lovely group of people on this thread’

Awwww flippin heck WOWWWW THANK YOU GrandmaFrench ...

I will belly dance my way around my Arabian Night Gazibo shouting out ( as i shake my bootie and almost break my neck ) Good evening everyone hahahahahaha..... now THATS put a smile on my face nevermind anyone else. Hahaha ?

A Good Afternoon thread is a great idea. By the time my compos is mentis enough to function in the mornings, there are so many post’s on Mick’s thread that I just pass on by!

Good evening to you too Serendipity.
Hello GrandmaFrench. This seems like old times.
Well said Angela ?.

How is everyone’s day going then?
I hope that we have all had at least one positive, however teeny

We had a dog walk too & this is the result!

Hello Yia, fancy seeing you here. Muse too - bet it's not as hot in Cornish Cornwall as it is here. Today I have roasted - largely because the sun and the wind disappeared mid-afternoon. 36 degrees, but I do have crisp white laundry to iron, a nicely cut lawn to water (DH!) and the pool has been jet washed due to a massive infiltration of algae. Heat this year has been ridiculous! So, an active day if a rather uncomfortable one. I'm looking forward to my Gin & Tonic, supper and feet up.

You never said how the excursion went, Fanny. Do hope you didn't overdo things. However, reading recently about Mary Berry's hip/knee (?) op' experience, it seems that you get severely punished for not taking regular exercise, so you're probably between a rock and a hard place. Whatever else happened, we hope to hear that Gracie triumphed!

I, for one, am hoping that with a sort of anytime thread - afternoons for those of us who'd prefer that - we might catch some of the many souls who often admit to lurking and not posting. Come on, everyone, it's your big chance to meet some new people and share some stories and some of your lives. No arguments, no sniping, just nice people.
Have the best evening, whatever you're doing.
