Good Morning Everyone,
Yet another clear bright start and dry here with wind from the South East making a little chilly here in brackley .
Yesterday things went to plan as to getting a replacement light bulb for the bathroom .
Today , some housework as I seem to be improving health wise before I get the bus to Bicester and do my usual there .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where perhaps the sun is trying to come through the clouds.

DS birthday today which always brings back happy memories.

Wonderful news Gingster smile

I'll be on a U3A walk today leaving the plumber to fit a new water tank after the previous one burst at the weekend.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Angus coast where the sun is breaking through.
What wonderful news gingster! I'm so happy for your DD - and for you. Happy Birthday to The Twins too.
Mick I saw Brackley in TV last night on "Location Location" - looks a lovely place. Glad you're feeling a bit better.
I hope you're happy with your new home grandmattie.
I'm still using taxis as the car is still off the road, so another one needed to get to tai chi again this morning. It will be lovely to have my own wheels back again - hopefully soon!
Have a lovely sunny day everyone x

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Feeling chilly though so layers are on.
Housework and Lidl this morning as DH has the funeral of a work colleague this afternoon.

Brilliant news Gingster 🙂

Love to all 🦩 x

Thanks Ashcombe. Very interesting. Good to learn something new so early in the morning!

Good morning from sunny Wiltshire, it’s lovely having a bright start to the day.
Yesterday I finished doing all the bits in the back garden, I’m really delighted with how it’s turned out. DH dug an huge hole and we planted the pieris that’s been growing in a tub for 20+ years, it’s more like a straggly tree at least 8’ tall but now in the border!
DD is coming today for the night, must crack on and tidy up.
Have a lovely day everyone x

Safe travels today Corner.

TopsyIrene06 Thu 04-May-23 07:17:50

Gingster The best possible news.

Ashcombe Thu 04-May-23 07:17:41

mumofmadboys: this article explains it better than I can:-

Apparently, it’s used by F1 drivers!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a grey chilly South Yorkshire. What a change from yesterday. I am out with the walking group this morning and then DD and I are going to her local garden centre to buy some new perennials for my now empty flower bed. It’s only a small nursery - no frills coffee shops or sundries, but their plants are first class and reasonable and they are very knowledgeable.
Gingster that is just the best news! I’m so pleased for you all. May she go from strength to strength.
Have the best day you can folks.

What wonderful news Gingster!

brook2704 Thu 04-May-23 07:16:03

Good morning everyone from Inverness where the sky is brightening and I’m hoping for some sunshine later
What brilliant news to start the day Gingster, so very pleased for you and your DD, a very Happy Birthday to your twin DGSs too!
I had a lovely busy day yesterday but today will be much quieter, hopefully I’ll get out into the garden for a while and a trip to the garden centre might be on the cards too.
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Ashcombe Thu 04-May-23 07:14:57

What happy news about your DD, Gingster! An unforgettable birthday for the twin grandsons! 👍😄💐

mumofmadboys Thu 04-May-23 07:14:56

Ive never heard of filling tyres with nitrogen. Is this something new and what advantages does it have?

baubles Thu 04-May-23 07:13:26

Good morning Mick, morning all from chilly South Lanarkshire.

Glad you’re feeling better Mick.

Fantastic news Gingster.

I’m not sure yet if we’re making the journey to Edinburgh today, DH is in pain with his knee, he may not be able to manage a 90 minute each way trip.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Ashcombe Thu 04-May-23 07:12:12

Good morning from a brightish morning in Torbay.

Late on parade as poor DH has been coughing so he decamped to the living room at 4.30 am. Today, we are travelling to Portsmouth for an overnight stay at Travelodge before catching the morning ferry to Ouistreham. We’ll be at DH's home in La Sarthe for most of May.

Many of you sound quite upbeat this morning which is good to read. I’m sure the longer days and increasing warmth must help. My vote has already been cast by post so that’s one thing less to do on a busy morning.

Yesterday, I went to ATS to have the nitrogen levels checked in my tyres. This is a free service once you’ve paid for the tyre to be filled with nitrogen. It suits me as I couldn’t easily do such a task. A miserable, non communicative chap was given the job but he managed an embarrassed expression of gratitude when I tipped him on completion!

Enjoy Polling Day ✖️, the result of which is likely to be overshadowed by the Coronation preparations. 🦩🥰🤴🏼💐🦩

mumofmadboys Thu 04-May-23 07:11:53

Great news Gingster. We are going away tomorrow to West Wales on the coast. Llangranog - a favourite place. Packing today. Going to take my wet suit and body board and hope to brave the waves!

GrannyGravy13 Thu 04-May-23 07:08:25

Morning all

Gingster what wonderful news you must be over the moon, sending my best wishes to your DD, hope your GS’s have a good birthday 🎂🎉

Busy day here, voting, I need to go to M & S Food Hall. I fancy a mooch at the summer clothes so will probably pop up to Lakeside and then I have a manicure later this afternoon.

grandMattie I do hope you are beginning to feel at home in your new abode 🏡

Have a great day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning all from a brightish North Leicestershire.

Brilliant news Gingster.

Regular session at the local Memory Cafe today. We are having Coronation celebrations and a sing-a-long.

Have the best day possible.

Wonderful news gingster.

cornergran Thu 04-May-23 07:03:00

Morning Mick, Morning All. Light cloud this morning.

Thoroughly enjoyed our NT visit yesterday, left there too weary to wander shops though. Off home at some point today. Will wander the harbour and sit with a coffee watching the waves this morning then see how the day goes. No rush to leave.

Take care everyone. Special thoughts for poorly folk. Hope Thursday is good to us all.

Aldom Thu 04-May-23 07:02:55

Ladyleftfieldlover enjoy the Clumps. I was there yesterday. The bluebells are stunning. Coffee and toasted teacake at Coleshill after. Very enjoyable. The weather was perfect.

Gingster Thu 04-May-23 07:00:24

Good morning all and it’s bright and sunny to go with my mood.

Dd got the all clear from cancer yesterday! Oh my what a relief! 🙏.
She will continue to feel poorly while coming off the meds but the result is amazing. Wonderful medicine did the trick.
Thanks Susan and everyone for your support and prayers.
❤️.

Twin grandsons 17th birthday today. They were such little scraps when born but are now handsome 6 footers. 👬.

Glad you’re feeling better Mick
Multi you are always so upbeat. 💐.
GM take your time and enjoy your ‘nesting’. 🏡.

Love to all.🌷
