Good Morning Everyone,
A dark but a dry start here in brackley this morning.
Yesterdays trip to Bicester on the bus did not happen thanks to a accident delaying the bus ,which was caught in tailback traffic as the accident was on the M40 .
I did go by bus to Banbury though,and brought something with my xmas gift cards.
Today unsure yet what to do .
Take Care,
Mick

Taichinan cael is a Welsh soup or broth.Basically made with any meat or vegetables available.We always put leeks in and no meat as we are vegetarian.

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
My daughters flat sale was completed yesterday and she (and I) will be glad to see the back of it. It has been very problematic and as she is in the south, taking an intensive training course, it has been stressful. Makes me loathe to move myself when I should really downsize.
I will drive into town for today’s lunchtime recital, I took the bus as the weather improved last week, but I had a fitful night’s sleep.
Music club enjoyable yesterday, but I had trouble with my backings, I could do with a roadie!
Birthday greetings Shazza, happy anniversary Mr.C, thoughts to Gingster and her DD and anyone with worries.

Good morning Mick and All.

Congratulations to all those celebrating on St David’s Day. 🥳🥳💐

I’m another who has my hearing aids linked to my iPhone. I downloaded BBC Sounds app and can listen to any programme whilst I am out and about. Being a great tennis fan I astounded my WI pals by showing them the live tennis from Doha. Most of the apps I have on the TV I have also got on my phone. Including Toilet Finder 😳 The wonders of technology.

Good morning everyone from a rainy Lancashire. It feels warmer now the wind has dropped. No real plans for today, other than housework, physio and a walk. I’m not finding the DuoLingo Gaelic course as helpful now so may look at something more structured.

Happy St David’s Day 💛

Good morning all from Glasgow

Hours spent on the phone yesterday, hanging on going around in circles. More of the same today! One bank where I wanted to transfer accounts within their bank and whose on line attempts failed told me my only option was to ‘pop in’ to my nearest branch…..in Bradford!! Utterly hopeless and so unhelpful. An email arrived this morning inviting me to fill in a survey of my experience yesterday!! I felt like Alice in Wonderland.

Have a good day all.

Susan I love cawl - first ate it in the Swan Inn at Little Haven and craved it ever after. Welsh DH wouldn’t eat it😱! He loved Welsh cakes though. My best friend used to make them for him on her traditional bake stone.
