Good (late) morning from a grey E Kent.
I have been waking up between 3 and 4 every morning which is exhausting and makes for a very long day, and decided to take a pill last night.
My Spanish class went really well yesterday but we were a very small group, so did little grammar. I’m ok with speaking and listening on the whole.
I managed to get the Salvation Army to collect my stuff. I’ll have to camp for the last 3 weeks of residence. So be it. I have also made contact with a group that may well take my dismantled loom. Sad to see it go, but I haven’t had space to put it together since we moved here. I’ll have even less space in Bristol.
More bits and pieces to sort out today. Naturally.
Lovely photos Ash. Glad all celebrations went well, everyone else.
Happy birthday/anniversary to everyone today. Holding those with troubles and grief in my heart. Carpe diem/horam 🦩🦩🦩🦩❤️

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It doesn't feel too cold.
I moved DMiL back into her flat last night. She had been out of it for over a month when masonry had fallen from the stone parapet onto the balcony below. The Council have made it safe but not pretty.
I am working this morning but then I am going away for the weekend.
Nice for you to meet an old colleague Mick .
Lovely photos Ash
Your river cruise sounds fun Shazza
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning Mick and everyone from Hull.

We are going on the train to London later this morning. We are doing the City Cruises jazz dinner cruise tonight, we try to do it once a year they are fun. Sailing under Tower Bridge while dancing is wonderful. We are staying between the Monument and Tower Hill tube we like that area.
My Uncle’s cattaract op went very well.I handed him over to his carers to look after him and administer all his drops. He is fantastic and took it all in his stride. I was very proud of him.

Have a lovely day everyone and hope there is some sunshine to enjoy and make you smile🌻🌼

Good morning from a chilly Torbay.

Yesterday we had some sunshine so I walked over the Downs and sat for a while enjoying the view (see photos). The N.E. wind persists so it’s not Spring like yet.

Enjoy whatever your day holds, everyone. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning Mick, it’s dry and cold here too.
Your meeting with an old colleague sounds intriguing- I am hopeless with names and faces, it’s not unusual for me to be still wracking my brain months later!
Well, I’ve been awake since 3, very exasperating, I have no idea why I’m sleeping so badly.
I need to go into town to collect my new glasses this morning and pay a cheque into the bank. It’s market day there today, nothing exciting but might get some vegetables.
Then I need to do a bit of gardening because my ne patio might be starting next week 🤞🏻
The weather forecast isn’t good, sleet and rain so that might delay things.
DH won’t be back for another week so I need to walk DDog too…thank goodness she has dog water Fridays and Tuesdays!
I hope today goes well x

Good morning from Shropshire.

How nice to see an ex work colleague Mick.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday.I had a lovely day.At 7.30 I heard little giggles and singing and DD appeared with the children and a birthday cake.It was lovely to see DGD before school☺️Finished the day with an Indian takeaway which was delicious.

Today we are up and about earlier to drive across the border into North Wales to look after the children.

Thinking of Urms and all with worries💐

Have the best day you can everyone🦩
