Good morning all. It's a beautiful morning here at present, although a cloudier day forecast. I'm up earlier than usual because I dreamed the alarm had gone off!! I was downstairs making breakfast by the time it actually did! But no hardship on a lovely morning like this.
Yesterday was beautiful too and a large wash was dried in the breeze, ironed and put away.
The long haul is almost over grandmattie, and you have been brilliant.
Ash enjoy the theatre this evening - I bet you'll find it hard not to be 'doing'.
Enjoy your precious time with your sister ladyleftfield.
And so it's back to normal for everyone after your lovely family Easter weekends - so glad the weather was good (well, except for yesterday for some).
I'm off to tai chi soon, but no other plans except for a small shop while I'm down in the town.
Have a good day everyone x

Good morning from Durham. So windy overnight so I’m very pleased that my fence was reinforced a couple of weeks ago. Rain forecast later.
Must shake a leg and get out after a weekend spent at home. Will see if BF fancies a coffee.
Isn’t it said that moving house is second only to bereavement gM? That’s what puts me off, but you’re almost there now and you’ve been so organised.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Rain is forecast but so far it's dry and mild.
Yesterday was supposed to be a catch-up day for me but the best laid plans..
Friends called and took me to lunch
I am teaching pottery this morning to someone who has always wanted to try it. Could be fun!
I hope your final days in Kent go well gMattie and the move itself is seamless.
Have a good day everyone whatever you get up to ☀️

Good morning from a lovely sunny morning in Suffolk. Yesterday our son and family arrived in torrential rain for lunch and left in bright sunshine a few hours later.

Off shortly for a dog walk and then,apart from tackling a mound of ironing, a day of relaxation follows,hopefully.

I hope those with health related issues of their own or of family members have a relaxing day spun with some positivity.

Morning from S Lanarkshire, it’s been raining overnight but bright blue sky just now.

I came home yesterday from our weekend and was in bed at 9.30 last night! Lunch with my sister today, we don’t get the chance to get together just by ourselves often enough so I’m looking forward to it.

Hope everyone has a good day🦩

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. It's not due to last! I'm glad I'm not still living down the west coast or I would be worrying about my former conservatory.
Yesterday was a quiet day of reading and admin apart from doing the laundry. Today I must get into gear again and do a bit of cleaning. I'm tempted to go out and get the lawn re-seeding done but as it's due to get very windy and the nights are being a bit cool, I'll postpone it for a day or two.

Best wishes for your DD harrigran, I hope a diagnosis is possible soon. I always think if you know what's wrong with you, you can cope with it better even if there's nothing that can be done medically.

It will very soon be over grandMattie. Good luck!

And a very good day to you all.

A bright chilly Good Morning from Co Armagh , I think there was rain in the night , but it’s dry and still now
Youngest son and family are on the ferry back to Bonny Scotland , I hope it’s not too rough ,
It was 3 degrees in the greenhouse last night , lots of seeds have sprouted, but the tomatoes on the spare room sill look too spindly to go out to the cold greenhouse
Only half of the nasturtiums gave sprouted , but that might be good enough , they do spread !
We have a thrush nesting precariously in a rather small tree , it’s fascinating to see the activity , but we can’t get the camera near without disturbing them
You are getting on well grandMatie soon be in your new quarters , keep the pecker up ,, and you too Marydoll xxx

Good morning all from the east coast of Fife where it’s quite bright out there and very windy. The birds are visiting my garden more and more I just had to look up the red headed sparrow which landed on my tree.
Thinking of those who are in need this morning

Marydoll I do hope you are feeling a tad better.

Good morning from bright Harrogate- sorry haven’t read posts yet.
Yesterday’s preparations got the better of me - 1st meal I’ve done for the family since we’ve been in this house - 7 years, so I was nervous - it all went well though. This morning I’m dashing to my art group. It has grown from 8 of us to 22!! Some I realised I knew from a previous group I’d been in.
I’ve got the sheets n the wash - might even get dry outside! Good luck GrandMattie a frantic day for you.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a sunny, for now, Essex by the sea.
We had a full on storm yesterday evening, torrential rain, thunder and lightening.
I think I am slowly on the mend, slept ok and not coughing quite as much.
Housework, ironing and admin today.
Have a great day everyone xxx

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
I’ve been up and down all night what with cats and visits to the loo. Why is it that one sip of orange juice by the bed necessities another trip to the loo?
Off to have my roots done and I haven’t washed it for a longish spell as the virus and going nowhere contributed to just leaving it.
Spent all yesterday afternoon sketching. It’s my BILs 90th birthday and it’s his present but I have given in. I’m quite good at getting a likeness, but the couple of not great photos are not helping. I caught him at one point, then overworked it…
All the best GM I don’t envy you and thoughts to all with troubles.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent, rain later apparently. Quiet morning as DF I was going to visit has had her daughter arrive unexpectedly. Off to U3A this afternoon, otherwise still washing, ironing and packing.
Hope things just keep moving along gM.
Harrigran I hope your DD gets some answers soon.
Best wishes everyone.

Good morning all from Sunny Lancashire, there’s a very cool wind blowing so not as warm as it looks.

Getting back into a routine today after a busy long weekend.

Have a good day all 🌻

A very belated good morning to everybody, still recovering from a big family get together over Easter weekend. Hectic but just lovely. Sunny and bright here in the NE of Scotland but I can see some clouds gathering …
