I know there is already a Good morning thread and I am not trying to divert that.

This is purely a Good morning everyone from me to you all and I hope you all have a lovely Sunday. X

Good afternoon -although it’s almost evening. We walked Milly further than we thought this afternoon. Thank heavens for a café with water bowls for dogs.
Now we’re all taking a well earned rest.

Grannmarie Mon 29-Aug-22 19:07:33

Good afternoon, Serendipity and all!?

We are on holiday at the moment, we had a picnic at the beach and I had a wee paddle in the sea! We've had a lovely
afternoon. ?
I hope everyone is having the best afternoon/ evening possible. ?

I am having a wonderful weekend, spent the whole of Saturday at a wedding celebration with most of our extended family, many of whom I hadn’t seen for 2 years. I love them all to pieces, and I got to meet my 5-month-old great nephew for the first time. Life really doesn’t get much better smile

Awwwww Grandmafrench positive vibes are ringing out ... wooooonderful.

You say its hot hot hot 36°..... is the clue of your whereabouts in your name? We go Malta next week, Mr Google has been extremely busy, I'm not very enamoured with his replies ..... I'm looking at 30°+ ..... but I'm turning it around and saying to myself BE THANKFUL YOU CAN AFFORD A HOLIDAY MRS S.

I am laid on the sofa awaiting my Monday viewing - Coronation Street.

Good evening folks. What a lovely cheerful thread for an August Bank Holiday Monday. I trotted out this afternoon to buy the bug spray. It also treats powdery mildew, so I've sprayed a plant suffering from that. Also did some cutting back in the garden. The bees are still busy on the lavender though. smile
Bye for now Serendipity and all.

Grandmafrench Mon 29-Aug-22 19:47:02

Lovely photos. Have a wonderful time, Granmarie.
Oh those beautiful dogs.......?

Squiffy Mon 29-Aug-22 19:47:32

Aldom Could you, please, tell me what bug spray you used? I could do with it here and, if it deals with powdery mildew as well, it sounds perfect! Thanks!

Grannmarie Mon 29-Aug-22 19:56:55

Thank you, Grandmafrench, how lovely to see you again! ?

Well, it's SW Scotland ??????? and 21 degrees, so that's paddling weather for me! Sunhat, factor 30 and flipflops!!!
Not quite your temperatures in French France ??, but we had a lovely afternoon.

Serendipity, enjoy Malta, I hope you and your DH have a wonderful time. I can recommend the rabbit....no, seriously, it is a local delicacy, we had it on our last night, delicious.

Hello serendipty et al. Good evening that should be. Nothing interesting to report but I did see my GS just home from a wonderful holiday in Canada. It sounds a great place with lakes, rivers and black bears. Not enjoying the darker evenings but I know they had to come. Just about to eat a lovely M&S creamy meringue. Good evening to you all.

Hi Squiffy this is the spray I use. It costs £3.49 from Home Bargains.
Many other brands available too, but this works well.

Gooood evening everyone and an invitation to feather yourself up and shimmer yourselves round to mine for an Arabian night of fun, laughter and ? ? ? ? so get shaking those hips shaking and let's all have a night a laughter ? ? ? ? ? ?..

I think we should alllll

Aldom Mon 29-Aug-22 20:21:29

I love Malta especially Valletta.

merlotgran Mon 29-Aug-22 20:39:14

Good evening everyone. With nothing better to do whilst keeping an eye on the passata bubbling away I decorated some misshapen tomatoes…I know, I know.

Went to a craft fayre this morning and bought some dangly earrings so will try very hard not to lose one. I suppose I could start a fashion trend of mismatched earrings. I’ve got dozens!

Have a good evening everyone.

Squiffy Mon 29-Aug-22 20:39:47

Thank you Aldom, no HB here, but I’ll check out Wilko!

Aldom Mon 29-Aug-22 20:52:04

Good old Wilko. I used to shop in the Shrewsbury one when I lived there. I'm too far away from the Oxford Wilko. Lovely earrings merlotgran and I like the human tomatoes grin

dustyangel Mon 29-Aug-22 21:03:01

Squiffy

Thank you Aldom, no HB here, but I’ll check out Wilko!

merlotgran the tomatoes made me laugh. Very cheerful.

I’ve been wearing odd earrings for years. I can usually get an earring easily in one ear if I feel I need to look more groomed but increasingly I just can’t be bothered. The other ear has always been more difficult so now I just leave a stud earring in it all the time. I’m either very trendy or people think the poor old lady has forgotten to put one earring in. And I don’t care.grin

Good evening from a very warm part of la Sarthe where I'm enjoying a few weeks at my husband's main home. (long story - ours is a semi-detached marriage, which works for us!)

Lovely to read contributions from folk whose names I recognise from the GM daily one and some new ones. Nearly time for bed here due to the hour's difference!

I will look out for 'The Rabbit'...... hahaha.

We staying in Selina, is 'The Rabbit' near there?

Thank you ?

Another lovely day here in Devon.
I must make an effort to go out .
I hope you all have a happy day.

FannyCornforth Tue 30-Aug-22 08:17:30

Hello Serendipity! I hope that you had a good night.
I think that Grannmarie was recommending eating rabbit in Malta (shock)
My main job today is taking the cat to the vets for her boosters and a check up.
The last time I took her to that particular branch of the vets, she actually got thrown out for bad behaviour.
They phoned me and I had to collect her.
How is your Cat in Law doing?
I hope that he’s comfortable, poor little thing.

Aldom Tue 30-Aug-22 08:24:54

Serendipity hi smile. There are lots of restaurants in different towns in Malta where you can eat rabbit. It's a local delicacy. Do you like rabbit? Perhaps you could Google to see if there's somewhere in Selina where rabbit is served. winesmile

FannyCornforth Tue 30-Aug-22 08:29:30

I’m going to mention our owls now (apologies, I mention them at any opportunity).
They exclusively ate rabbit (‘from Sainsburys’ - just like Chas n Dave ?)
My mom bought bags of the stuff for them over the years.
I don’t know if she ever told the cashiers what (or who) it was for… ?

Ohhhhhh hello Fanny

Well! What a carry on I had lastnight as I was shimmering and swinging my hips about, I fell head first into the goat stew and emerged with eye balls dangling from my yashmack!!! Ohhhh terrible, terrible, spoilt the whole evenings of shenanigans.. ( hahahaha )

On a serious note, I do hope all goes well for your cats booster and hope to goodness she isn't thrown out this time! Heck !

You ask about my own cat ( well, if everyone had their own feline friend he was my DD ) I have sad news, he has gone. Had to take him to the vets as the cancer on his paw was getting worse. We have request a cremation and then we are having a little ceremony here at home and placing him under the bush in the front garden as that is where he ventured to, thank you for asking. Didn't think I would affected as I have, its surprised me.

Right, goat stew washed off, eye balls thrown over the hedge and now I must get back to shimmering and swinging these hips around the Arabian Gazibo .....

smile ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What a lovely thread! I seem to have missed it. Good morning to you all.

FannyCornforth Tue 30-Aug-22 08:52:25

Hi Battysmile

Serendipity I’m so sorry about the cat. I know that you (and MrS especially) have him a really wonderful life thanks
