Good morning Mick and all who follow. It’s still dark outside but dry and still.

Hope everything goes well today Mick.

We had a good day yesterday at Culzean, there wasn’t a breath of movement in the trees, it was so calm and peaceful. Very few visitors too, the quietest I’ve ever seen it.

Daft dug to the groomers this morning, a podiatrist appointment for me in the afternoon then a visit from a couple of friends this evening. In between times I’ll have to think about an evening meal.

DH and I got engaged on this day in 1974, yesterday we spotted a young couple who could have been us all those years ago. I felt quite nostalgic.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from E Kent. It is actually raining and we have had a goodly amount of good rain overnight.
Had a bad night with cold sweats and D&V. Feeling washed out now.
Yesterday, I had the estate agent round to value the house, just in case I need probate… he told me he had a soft spot as he sold it to the last 3 incumbents! I was aghast at how much the prices have gone up in 10 years. It has almost doubled!
Not much else. Very tired.
An empty today; I need to get some food, etc.
May today bring ease and comfort to those who need it; the best to everyone else. Carpe diem. ❤️????

Good morning from a fine start in La Sarthe.

It’s good to hear you have rain at last, grandMattie but I’m sorry you have a gastric upset. Take care and maybe see if a food delivery slot might be available to save you going out. It sounds like you’ve chosen the right estate agent!

Impressive photos, baubles and and it’s lovely to feel nostalgic on such days.

Good luck to you, Mick and to others facing medical appointments or other commitments.

Good morning from a sunny Mallorca, easy travelling yesterday all my fears about having the correct paperwork unfounded thanks Urms.
Did a quick basic shop yesterday as we were to early to get into the Villa, so today is to be spent by the pool, there is a road not far from here so some distant traffic noise, apart from that it’s very peaceful.
Granmattie hope you feel better soon, more money to spend when you move! Obviously though prices everywhere will have risen. Mick hope your procedure goes well.
Have a good day everyone, with some sunshine and some actual rain.

Gym for me this morning, and then continue with the big clear out of my clothes and paperwork.

Have the best day you can ?‍♀️?

Good morning all from East Yorkshire. It is overcast and damp.

At coffee morning yesterday we were delighted for one of our friends as she had received great news. She was diagnosed with a medical condition out of the blue early in the year. She is now fully recovered after treatment. As one of the others said we should be celebrating that with something stronger than coffee! Sadly the bar wasn’t open.

DH has to go in to the city centre this morning. I might go along and have a look in TK maxx. I also will be making spicy parsnip soup later. Soup season has arrived!

Hope you feel better soonGM

Fingers crossed for you today Mick

Lovely photos baubles

Grandmadinosaur Wed 07-Sept-22 07:11:05

ginny Wed 07-Sept-22 07:14:32

A couple of hours with little DGS this morning.
I need to pack a bag for a spa and craft weekend .
We have our first craft club meeting of the new term this afternoon and this evening is WI.

Take care all who are feeling under par.

Good morning all from the Black country, rain overnight but looks like it may be a dry day.
Mick hope all goes well today.
grandMattie take it easy.
Lovely photos Baubles
Well the plumber arrived bang on time yesterday sorted everything out and DH is now one happy bunny after 47yrs he now has an outside tap. It's the little things that keep them happy.
No plans today will give the duster an airing think it's due.
Enjoy your day everyone and may you all find some ?.

The garden, this might appear twice - the wifi is a bit flaky and dropped out for a few seconds

kittylester Wed 07-Sept-22 07:27:59

Good morning from a drippy North Leicestershire. It is not currently raining but it looks as though it poured overnight.

DH is off to the gum first thing and I am helping on a zoom Carer's course this morning and we have lots of bits and bobs to do in town.

Have the best day possible everyone.

BlueSapphire Wed 07-Sept-22 07:29:07

Good morning everyone from a damp Northampton; rain again overnight here.

Off out on a day trip with a friend to the Repair Shop in Sussex today, or the Wealdstone Country Living Museum, it's proper name, or something like that. Unfortunately we don't get to go into the Repair Shop proper itself, but the whole site looks an interesting place to visit. Just done a picnic lunch, and my friend is picking me up in just over an hour to join the coach. Fingers crossed that we don't get too many showers! Got my raincoat and umbrella just in case...

Hope all goes well go you today Mick. Wishing all a pleasant Wednesday.

Gingster Wed 07-Sept-22 07:34:12

Good morning all and it’s been drizzling but brightening up now here in Essex.

Thankyou for all your kind wishes for my DD.❤️ yesterday.
She’s taking little gd to London to see Beauty and the Beast this afternoon. It was booked a long time ago and she’s determined they are still going. I hope she feels up to it. ?.

DH is going fishing today and I’m meeting my old school pal for a coffee and long chat. I’ll go on the train as it’s only 2 stops and I’m 2 minutes from the station. Hate driving if I don’t have to. Rayleigh weir has road works and the traffic has been dire. Don’t come over GG if you can help it.

I’ve booked two ?lunches this week . It seems too early but otherwise you can’t get in anywhere, if there’s a large number of you.

Poor you GM . Take it easy today. ?.

Baubles those pics are stunning. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

Mick I hope all goes well for you today ?

GG and SAR - let’s hope we can find a date and venue! ?.

Wishing you al a ‘good’ day ???

Pittcity Wed 07-Sept-22 07:34:23

Good morning from Colchester where the rain clouds are clearing. Another muggy day with intermittent showers forecast. Temperature in the low 20s so still no need for a jacket.
Usual Wednesday morning coffee meetup in the city centre. Top up shop in Aldi this afternoon.
Love to all ? x

Gala Wed 07-Sept-22 07:36:37

Good morning from a damp Sefton. More rain forecast for later.

Love the arch photo baubles. I was obsessed with 'framing' my photos some years ago but have since managed to get it out of my system - mostly.

A marathon session at the opticians yesterday. Hate choosing frames, so many to choose from. I need 2 pairs & as I'm very shortsighted & cannot see if they 'suit' me.

Zoom Zumba class this morning. Always a good start to the day. Love Zumba. Then lunch with friends in canalside country pub.

Take care all. Have the best day.

Beechnut Wed 07-Sept-22 07:37:14

Good Morning from sunny Severnside.

Good luck for today Mick. I’m going for a blood test this morning and then we’ll see what the day brings.

Hope you all have the best day you can especially those feeling poorly ?

SunshineSally Wed 07-Sept-22 07:37:32

Good morning Mick and everyone from a rainy south Hants ?

Mick I hope today goes well for you.
grandMattie sorry to hear you were poorly. Take it easy today.
Oopsadaisy Enjoy your holiday, Mallorca is lovely.
baubles Happy Engagement Anniversary. Great photos. Scary how quickly life passes.

We had a productive day yesterday and were able to purchase a lovely corner unit - though it was hard work trying to fit it in the car and then back into the house! Cue much heated exchanges between DH and I - especially when I dropped my end!! Thankfully nothing broke - the glass in the doors was still intact! But then - we needed to empty our 5ft pine dresser which was full of god knows what and slide it along the wall in order to fit the ‘new’ unit in. The old unit is now on FB - fingers crossed someone wants it as it is a lovely unit which we’ve had for about 30 years. It’s all part of my downsizing plan and getting rid of things that are no longer useful
The new unit just houses glasses at the top and alcohol in the cupboard below and fits snugly in the corner. Even DH is pleased. Now to concentrate on selling the dresser.
Seeing the GCs today - other than that, not much planned.
Have the best day you can. Thoughts to those in pain or are feeling low ??
Hugs and ?? for you all x

Grandmadinosaur Wed 07-Sept-22 07:39:50

Thank you Oops that looks lovely. I wish I was there ?

Greyduster Wed 07-Sept-22 07:47:53

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A grey start in South Yorkshire, but dry at present. Mick I hope it goes well for you today??. I am going out for a walk today with DD through one of our lovely parks. It’s mostly a wooded valley with a river running through it; easy walking and always pretty. There’s a cafe at the top which does very nice food so lunch is on the cards. We might get wet on the way back though! It will be nice to have her company.
Have the best day you can folks!

ShazzaKanazza Wed 07-Sept-22 07:51:25

Good Morning Mick and everyone from a damp Hull. Rain again in the night the grass is a lovely green again.

Mick hope your procedure goes well.

Baubles your pictures are gorgeous. BlueSapphire enjoy your day out and Oops enjoy your holiday.

grandMattie sorry you aren’t well hope you can put your feet up and have a nap today?

Yesterday my visit to my uncle was good. He was on good form and full of complaints about the new prime minister being a woman and this country is going down the nick apparently Australia is better ?‍♀️ ?. I keep telling him if it wasn’t for a woman he wouldn’t exist. He does give them giggles in his assisted living.

We are having fitted cupboards done this morning in DHs home office. They are more for the GCs toys which have overflowed from the playroom upstairs. I have to wait in for them. DH is going for a massage and then to the gym. Picking DGS up from school. He was back at school yesterday he’s supposed to be in juniors now but he’s in a special needs unit so nothing too much has changed for him but his mummy said he was excited to go back. She sent super pictures of him smiling in his uniform. I think he needs the routine.

Have a good day everyone and virtual hugs to those suffering stress and illness. ??

Urmstongran Wed 07-Sept-22 07:52:17

Here’s Matt.

Good morning everyone from a sunny Malaga ?
It’s a bit nippy now though first thing sitting out on my little balcony while I drink my tea.

I’m pleased with my hair colour. A tad darker than I expected ‘lost in translation’ I expect! When I looked in the mirror first thing I imagined I was wearing a wig ha! At least there are some highlights though & yesterday I received many compliments so I’m happy.
?

baubles we got married this date in 1974! Almost snap!

A quiet day in the gardens is our plan. We might go to the marina or into Malaga city on Friday night for dinner when there’s more of a buzz. I think tonight we’ll just eat out at Pedro’s.

Hope all goes well today Mick and that you feel better grandMattie as the day goes on.

PollyDolly Wed 07-Sept-22 07:52:43

Good morning from a grey and drizzling East Midlands. Nothing particular planned today although I do have some hellibore seeds and some monkey puzzle tree seeds that I want to have a go at growing so I might escape to the greenhouse and get those set.
"Get well" wishes to all those feeling poorly, thinking of all those having appointments and treatment today, stay positive! Happy travels and safe journey for those on holiday.
Have the best day possible everyone and take care in all you do

brook2704 Wed 07-Sept-22 07:53:30

Good morning everyone from a very wet and soggy Inverness, looks like we’ve had lots of rain. We arrived home yesterday evening after a trouble free journey, just a slight delay on the flight but nothing much. Thank you all for your kind comments after we completed our walking adventures
Hoping all goes well for you today mick and take care
Today I’m off to the gym and then catching up with my friend to swap news and updates
Hope your DD and DGD enjoy the show gingster and your DD feels ok, such a brave lovely lady
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ?

Urmstongran Wed 07-Sept-22 07:56:54

Glad to hear all went well Oops! It’s easier than everyone worries about nowadays. As I said to you ‘if I can do it, anyone can!’. Have a great time on your holiday. Relax and enjoy the hot, sunny days!
