Good Morning Monday 17th April 2023

Good morning from the damp South Downs. It is expected to clear up though.

mick my goodness you will be well topped up after this mornings hospital visit

gm just think of the aerobic exercise - your heart will benefit.

I noticed yesterday that spring is well advanced. Some trees are fully out now like the horse chestnut, whilst others are still slumbering. The oak is always tardy. The cow parsley is just about to spread its lace and bluebells are opening for their annual glory. Lovely time if the year.

I planted up the back of the gravel garden yesterday and hope to finish off today - just some grasses and pinks to spill over the rocks then bark it and done. Next concentrate on a little scree area. Everything is sort of out of control as it was totally neglected last summer/autumn as I has covid then flu in rapid succession.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s dry but rather cloudy.

Good luck today Mick.

A very quiet day yesterday chez baubles, which was just as well as my ileostomy decided to play up on my way home from lunch. It doesn’t happen often but when it does it knocks my confidence a little.

Anyhoo, onwards. Work today.

Wishing everyone the best possible day, thinking of those who have worries and sadness to cope with.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° with grey skies. My fingers ache so I suspect rain will arrive later. Good luck Mick with your blood work. Grandmattie have a good day learning your new bus routes. It's like an adventure.
Yesterday dd came down for a visit with the boys. I love seeing them. They had lunch then later went to Polmont rail station as dgs1 wanted to see trains. The boy is obsessed.
Today I'm doing the usual childcare of a Monday. I'll drop dgs1 off at nursery and then it'll be me and dgs2 til pick up time. I think we will be in the garden for a while today as the forecast is mild. Have a good day all

Good morning from a dull but dry Torbay.

I hope all your appointments go to plan today, Mick. The iron infusion, etc., should give you a boost.

Good luck with finding your way round, grandMattie. I expect the bus drivers and locals will be happy to help.

That poor, abandoned passenger, Susan56! We enjoy anything railway related, especially involving steam locomotives. On our honeymoon we travelled on the Brocken line in what was once East Germany. Magnificent views from the top!

Domestic tasks beckon today with a break in the early afternoon for my Move It Or Lose It class, which had to close for the schools' Easter holiday due to children's activities at the sports' centre.

I hope today is the start of a good week for you all. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from Shropshire.

We took DGD to her swimming lesson yesterday morning.Son in law met us there and took the children home.

We then went to Chirk for a picnic then walked down to watch a steam train driving through.It actually stopped at the station and the passengers got off for a look around.When the train left it had left a passenger behind.

Today a friend is coming for coffee and chat.

Hope your appointments go well Mick and that you get the answers you need from the solicitor and estate agent grandMattie.

Have the best day you can everyone 🦩

Good morning from Bristol (it’ll take me some time to get used to saying that…)
Mick, all the best for your infusions, etc.
We had a quiet day yesterday, but, my word, the hills are steep in Clifton! I thought I would never get my breath back after church, going up this (shirt) hill!
We did nothing much during the day as SiLis preparing for two job interviews on Tuesday.
Back to school today. I hope DD doesn’t worry too much about my lack of occupation, normal for me today. I’ve got to speak to my solicitor to clear up a few things, and to the estate agent to visit the flat and measure up for curtains. I’m going to have to learn the bus routes and stops for this!
May you have a gentle day and all go well for you today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩
