Good morning, Michael and all GNs. I forgot to draw the heavy curtains across the vertical blinds last night so the light woke me up this morning. Looks as if it will be a bright day. I had a bit of a strange day yesterday. I was going along quite nicely and then all of a sudden felt as if the sky had fallen in on me. I have no idea what triggered it. I was washing the car!
The gardener has given me a price for the work I want him to do. It’s a big job so not unreasonable. It will give me a blank canvas for a more manageable planting scheme going forward.
Library this afternoon.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a dry but overcast Torbay.

It certainly sounds like a lovely trip, Ladyleftfieldlover! Many years ago, we visited some of those places at this time of year but on a coach tour. I remember leaving Vienna in bright sunshine then encountering a blizzard as the coach driver eased his way around the hairpins down into Salzburg! Our safe arrival was acknowledged by a round of applause for him! Enjoy your gala night!

Yesterday's talk on personal safety from two police officers wasn’t much use. Many of us felt we already knew much of what was suggested and, regarding some issues, more! At times, they were downright patronising:- “Get your children or grandchildren to go online for you…..” 😡

Special thoughts for grandMattie at 11.30 a.m. That card sounds very original! A good idea to frame it: your first flat warming present.

Happy hump day! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a frosty E Kent. It is daylight and looks like we shall have a beautiful day.
Finally! I have, finally, got an appointment at 1130 for this interview. I suppose it’ll be by video link, but I haven’t been told.. 🤞🤞🤞for me please.
My T’ai Chi ladies gave me a generous voucher to IKEA sand a most interesting card, in the shape of a person in a movement, but made up of names and words. Most ingenious. I might frame it.
I’ve got friends coming to take out mattresses and a wall unit for the council to collect tomorrow. No charity wanted them…
I shall bake them a coffee and walnut cake and some of my famous Nutella brownies this morning.
Llfl, sounds like you are having a fabulous time.
May you have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Morning all from Vienna! After breakfast there is to be a coach tour followed by a walking tour. OH’s knees are causing him pain so we’ll skip the walking bit! OH has been here on business and I came here last year for a few days with our daughter. So a few hours on the boat beckons. Maybe reading. There is a gala dinner tonight and a string quartet will entertain us so we will be dressing up! GM, I do hope your moving problems are smoothed out asap. Have a good day.
