Morning all from 4 miles from dragonfly where the weather is, surprisingly, pretty similar.

DD2 and co are off on holiday this morning. It has been lovely having them here but very tiring.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a dark & dry Sefton.

A successful pumpkin pick yesterday. The rain stopped just as we got there. Thank you Nannagarra your 'lull' reached us just in time. The 2 little girls had a lovely time in the mud & puddles!
Singing group this morning. We shall sing like no one is listening ??.

Hope this the beginning of a good week for everyone.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Waitrose trip today and laundry. Typical Monday really. I am looking forward to our new lounge curtains being delivered this week, hopefully. I need to replenish our ice cream stock! Elder son and his family are coming for the weekend and lemon is our granddaughter’s favourite. My GP is back from her holiday today so wonder when she’ll read through all my various medical reports. OH has lots of medical issues to sort out this week. I hope he gets some answers. Oh, I expect I’ll be watching the Parliament channel todaysad

Good morning all from me Scottish Borders.
It's still dark but is very mild.
gMattie your house has been taken over! I hope you don't feel taken advantage of.
Ash this must be a worrying time for you. Take care
I did some of my paperwork yesterday so feel more in control and the plumber came to talk me through my new central heating system.
I saw the anti war film "Benediction" at our community cinema last night. It's the story of the poet Sigfreid Sassoon. (sp?)

The half term holidays are over and DGS has his Nat5 prelims soon.

Hope everyone finds some joy this week.

Good morning everyone from a still dark Northampton, where at least it's dry. Yesterday's rain was terrible here and on our journey to Staffordshire, but it had stopped by the time we got to our destination.

It was a lovely day out, lunch on a steam train, luxury first class dining carriages, and a three course roast dinner with wine. I had good company as my friend and her husband invited me to share their table, and we were joined by a sprightly gentleman of 90, who was enjoying his 290th day out with the tour company! To crown it all the sun came out so that we could enjoy the beautiful countryside.

An uneventful journey home until we reached the outskirts of Northampton when the heavens opened accompanied by thunder and lightning! All arrived home safely despite the weather. Looking forward to my next coach trip next month.

No yoga this morning, so have decided to have a day out in Milton Keynes; I have something to return to one of the stores and also have vouchers to spend.

Hope all have a good Monday.

Good morning from a calm, dry Torbay.

Enjoy your family day, cornergran, and I expect lunch out will be a welcome break for you, grandMattie. I hope the extra person for meals is helpful and curbs her bossiness!

My final Lidl shop today as I’m required to isolate this week in readiness for hospital. Tonight I shall have my last social engagement: our theatre AGM!

I hope this week is good, especially for our younger folk on half term breaks. ?????

Good morning from a still dark E Kent. This time next week, I shall be complaining of jet lag from the time change…
DLks dog came to visit yesterday afternoon together with the lady looking after her.
I changed the beds and towel as well. The new tumble drier isn’t as efficient as the old one. ?
Busy today. DL’s very bossy friend is coming for a few days. She’ll be staying at DL’s house, but eating here. And another friend is coming this afternoon! I shall take the opportunity to lunch out with one of my own friends and go to the supermarket.
Carpe diem everyone. ???❤️

Morning Mick, morning All. Too dark to see much out there but it looks as if our corner of Somerset is dry

Finally got the curtains changed yesterday. All set for the colder weather now.

Family coming today. Mr C will be kept busy as he’s our grandsons favourite playmate. Looking forward to seeing them all.

Special thoughts for those managing worries. . Hope Monday is kind to us all.
