Good morning from a cloudy South Wales.
I just popped in to wish Mick a happy birthday & send my good wishes to grandMattie on her move.
Have as good a day as you can everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All. It’s bright and there’s a hope of sunshine.

Yesterday was more sandcastles, with teenagers joining in the outcome was impressive. After very sad goodbyes it seems very quiet here, not tidy for sure, a bit of a sort out needed today.

A very happy birthday mick. 🍾🍸

Hope today goes well grandmattie. Such a nuisance about that hinge, I’m sure a replacement will appear quickly.

Special thoughts for all poorly folk.

Take care everyone. Hope Tuesday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a bright South Downs.

A very happy birthday mick.

I have been watching a pair of crows, from their early days of romance, chasing each other about and feeding each other titbits, to building a nest high in a bare winter tree, they have been faithfully sitting on the next cawing to each other, now the tree is in full leaf and the nest no longer visible, but they are both out and about now collecting food so I am looking forward to seeing the fledglings before long. Another year of new life.

Son came yesterday evening with news of his latest holiday. Spider monkeys and sea turtles, warm seas and some interesting archeology. I could do with some warm sea I must say.

Today is raking the little Japanese zen garden back to condition as the foxes play fast and loose on it at times.

My deaf dog is barking to go out - and I can’t shout to tell him to wait, so I have to put up with the barking. Must dash!

Enjoy today everyone.

P.S. Best of luck with your moving in today grandMattie. It’s such a stressful time but I hope you will soon feel happy and settled in your new place.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 5° and cloudy. Mick a very happy birthday to you!
Childcare day for me so nursery drop and then playing. We'll go for a walk too as dgs2 loves being outside. Have a good day all.

Many happy returns Mick. Hope you have a lovely day and thank you for this lovely thread.🎂🥳

Weather in Malta today looks cloudy and 21°C. I’m just off to babysit my twin grandsons which I do every week day now that DD3 is back at school (she’s a teacher).

Wishing everyone a good day.☀️

Happy birthday, Mick. 🎂🎉🍾. I hope you have a good day.

Good morning from a grey but dry Bristol. Fortunately, the forecast is for dry weather.

Big day today - moving in at a time yet unknown, but the van arrives late morning.

With DD’s help, I unpacked my fridge freezer only to find that the top hinge was so bashed and displaced that it was impossible to open or close safely or effectively. I’m now in the process of demanding a replacement. A real bummer.

I shall spend today bossing men around and trying to find my way through a mountain of boxes. I hope they are well labelled. DD will come with the girls in the afternoon, as the school are on strike again today.

To start with, all I need is bed/bedding and some stuff to cook and eat with. The rest will follow. I’m spending the night with DD, then after that I’m on my own.

I hope Maydoll is ok; I miss her novellas. May you all have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning from a fine Torbay.

Happy birthday, Mick! Enjoy your birthday and thank you for keeping this happy thread going so reliably.

We had an early TIB as DH hasn’t slept well due to a cold which he probably caught on our rail trip from Southampton. He’d planned to go to London today to book his €* ticket for next month but isn’t going there now. His discount entitlement (as a retired railway employee) cannot be applied to an online booking.

Back to Props this morning after a FaceTime review with a financial advisor from Nationwide. That’s at 10.00a.m. so I may catch a few 💤 before then!

Have a good day, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
