Good morning from an overcast Oxfordshire.

Hope all have a good day and hugs for those who aren’t feeling too chipper.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy south Hants ?

Mick - am glad you’re feeling better today
grandMattie and Sago - enjoy your time with family
harrigran - I hope your hospital appointment goes as well as it can and you’re not in too much discomfort
Ashcombe - How wonderful! You must be so proud of her.
cornergran - I hope the zoom training goes well and is not too taxing

Here we are in September already - an expensive month for us as it’s full of birthdays! Today is DD’s birthday ? so we will take her out for lunch and treats and maybe fit in a walk to burn off those calories

Have the best day you can. Thoughts and good wishes to those thar are suffering.

Hugs and ? to you all x

Good morning, I have no idea what it’s like outside yet ?
Carpets being laid today, so much moving of furniture but at least it’s the final bit!
Nothing at all other than that today, DH will walk DDog this morning.
I hope everything goes well for you all today x

Morning Mick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset.

Wandered out for lunch yesterday, cafe in a small garden centre where everything is cooked to order, very good it was too.

Zoom training session for me today. Definitely not looking forward to it. I’m finding concentrating via a screen is difficult in many ways and it’s oh so hard to get a sense of my fellow trainees.

Enjoy Cardiff grandmattie, a beautiful city. Sounds a fabulous family time sago. All good wishes today harri, soon be over. Pleased you feel stronger mick.

Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Good morning, all, from a dry Sarthe.

Mick: It’s good that you’re feeling the benefit from the iron tablets but your reserves will be depleted and you should finish the course or seek advice from your pharmacist before giving them up. I’ve suffered from anaemia at times ever since my teens.

Yesterday, I had a long chat with my DD2 and received texts from a very excited DGD regarding her first experience of rehearsing with The English Youth Ballet for which she successfully auditioned in June. Along with about 100 other young dancers and a few professional principals, she will be spending each weekend rehearsing for Swan Lake, to be staged at a theatre in Stoke-on-Trent in late September. I know some of you enjoy ballet so here's the link:-

I hope you enjoy your break, grandMattie. It’s always good to be with family, wherever you are. ???
If you can get to a supermarket or pharmacist, Sago, try to buy Marie Rose cream for those horrid bites. It’s magic!

Wishing everyone a good day. ?????

Good morning from a foggy NE.
Set the alarm for 5.50am so I could do second lot of prep but I woke at 4.50am, going to be a long day.
DD and SIL are going to a funeral this morning and then coming to take me to the hospital.
Have a good day.

Good morning from beautiful Cardiff. I’m sharing a room with pre-teen DD1 whose capacity for sleep…. So I haven’t opened the curtains. (Iris has meltdowns if her mother is there and she sleeps far from her)
I’m glad you’re starting to feel better, Mick, you might be right in slightly overdosing on Iron pills…
We’re having a mini holiday here. Today, swimS for Iris , Art Galley/Museum for me and shopping to DD1.
My journey to Bristol was without hitch, except that the London strain got in 20 minutes late. Although I know I have plenty of time to go from.St. Pancras to Paddington, I got very fretful.
Have a good day y’all. Carpe diem. ??❤️???

Good morning from Salleboeuf nt Bordeaux, not sure what the weather is as I haven’t looked out yet, I’m awake early mainly due to some mosquito bites, they’re fierce!
Met up with our little grandchildren yesterday, meeting other family in Bordeaux later then picking up our son who is flying in from Oslo.

Good morning, Everyone,
Twilight here in brackley but its dry at the moment.
I am starting to feel OK within myself at the moment, and stopped taking the iron tablets as I felt i was over doing it, as I ate foods which contained it
Usual bus trip out to Bicester I go in early and do not rush around when I used to spend an hour there.
Take Care,
Mick
