Good morning from a sunny NE.
Happy birthday Marydoll hope you have a lovely day.
DS and all the family came yesterday afternoon and we had coffee and cake, the one my friend sent.
DS and DIL went for a walk while I prepared dinner, roast gammon with courgette Provencal, carrots, potato and swede.
GD2 played the piano and then we watched some of Eurovision, could it get any more weird ?
SIL is coming this afternoon and we are going to the Sage in Gateshead for a Benjamin Grosvenor concert.
Have a good day.

Good morning from a cloudy W Kent. Apart from cooking at lunch time a quiet day here. Lovely to see DD and GS yesterday for a catch up.
Happy Birthday Marydoll enjoy your day

Grandmabatty I do admire you then! Languages were never my forte.

Good morning everyone from a grey and cloudy Northampton. At least it is dry, so I shall cut the back grass today, but must put some washing out as well, so I shall be dodging the washing-line!

Was not overly impressed with the theatre yesterday (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel).. The story-line bore.no resemblance to the book, and the dialogue was difficult to follow, as the actors seemed to speak too quickly; the set was good though. It was an expensive afternoon out!

Watched most of Eurovision last night, but thought the songs all sounded very similar - don't think we deserved to come last but one though.

Happy birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ Marydoll! cupcake flowers flowers

Good morning from another dull, chilly Oxfordshire, the sun came out yesterday at 6 pm, too late to do much outdoors at that time.
Happy Birthday MaryDoll have a great day๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ
Mick your trip sounds good, my parents went out most weekends on Coach Trips and loved it.
Nothing much happening here today, dog sitting and Nephew has a hospital appointment ( on a Sunday!)
Have a good day everyone, hope all those who are poorly get some relief, letโ€™s hope the sun shines and it soon warms up.

Quakers this morning, not sure what else.

Good morning all from sunny Harrogate
You seem to be carving a niche for yourself GrandMattie, doing what you have always done! Glad your coughing has abated Ashcombe lovely picture. Had a lousy night last night, however will try to go to church and Hope I donโ€™t zzz through the service.
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from a misty North Leicestershire. The sun seems to be trying to break through.

Not much on the cards today - roast beef for lunch and packing up a parcel for DGD2.

Had a disturbed night as a police search helicopter was flying in circles round the centre of village including over our house. Apparently 2 teenagers jumped into the river and only one got out. FB tells me they found the other boy but not how he is.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Happy Birthday ๐Ÿฅณ MD!
I have to pop over the road first thing and hand over a pile of WI stuff to one of the committee who said sheโ€™d take it to the meeting on Wednesday . I wonโ€™t be there. Iโ€™m driving up to Kew later today for a few days to look after my granddaughter. I will say goodbye to my brother and his partner who are going back to Australia tomorrow. I will see them in August at number 3 nieceโ€™s wedding. Have a good day.

Grandmabatty Sun 14-May-23 08:06:14

Taichinan and Ash I love languages! I have amassed a few, French, German, Italian and Russian. I'm currently learning Spanish. I was the Russian speaker on a school trip and managed to make myself understood. I was very chuffed about that too.

brook2704 Sun 14-May-23 08:05:23

Good morning everyone from Inverness where weโ€™ve light grey cloud, hopefully brighter later
Enjoy your day out with your sister mick it sounds good
Pleased to hear your both a bit better Ash, the roundabout looks pretty
Yesterday was a lovely warm sunny day here so I was busy gardening all day. No plans yet for today, possibly meeting up with DD2 but will see.
Wishing marydoll a very Happy Birthday! ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‚
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings ๐Ÿ’

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9ยฐ with patchy cloud. The forecast is for showers.
Ash a very cheerful roundabout. I'm glad to hear you are both feeling better. Mick enjoy your trip. It sounds like a good day. Grandmattie it seems that you are slowly making headway. I absolutely hate living in a jumble of boxes. Once the work is done, it'll make a difference. Marydoll a happy birthday to you. Monk rest that knee. Ice pack?
Yesterday was a scorcher here, relatively speaking. All washings done and hung out on the line. Housework done, mostly. Then dgs2 came round and we had a few hours of mayhem but I wouldn't have it any other way. I visited mum in the early evening. She has been moved ward to one which is more appropriate and my initial impressions are not positive. However I'll bite my tongue for now.
Today I'll clean the windows are there are wee handprints decorating most of them. I'll roast a chicken and do a very small ironing then I'll visit mum at some point. Have a good day all

GrannySomerset Sun 14-May-23 07:57:28

The early mist is already lifting and a sunny morning looks likely. Church twice today, this morning being a Rogation Sunday service in a farm yard. Otherwise I need to apply myself to my current book club book or I wonโ€™t have it finished in time for the discussion at the end of the month. Hope you have a good day out, Mick, and that everyoneโ€™s plans work out successfully.
