Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 5° but with lovely sunshine. The sky is completely blue, not a cloud in sight.
Mick I hope the scan goes well. Cornergran I hate a sleepless night. I hope you can get a nap. BlueBalou enjoy your art class. Monk well done to your dgs!
Yesterday was pleasantly peaceful. I pottered about and visited mum just after lunch.
Today I have a later start for childcare. Dd has taken the week off work to gut the house so she'll drop dgs2 at mine's
after doing the nursery run and she'll pick up both boys from my house earlier than usual. Dgs2 and I will definitely be outside today. A walk and the swings are planned. Roast chicken in a mustard and marmalade sauce for dinner. Have a good day all

Morning from a cloudy S Hampshire, it’s damp out, so we’ve had rain. It was very pleasant yesterday, warm compared to recent days, gave away some tomato plants and my son visited.
Ear to be microsuctioned today, thank goodness.
Good luck with your scan Mick.

Good morning from a wet chilly and windy South Downs. Naturally I’m having my hair done today.

Who forgot to order the spring? Very tardy as we are soon in early summer! I took a hot water bottle to bed last night.

Must get some more compost to pot up the dahlias and summer containers. I want them sorted before our weeks break next week.

Hope everyone is ok and manages a good day despite the blimmin’ weather.

Peppered steak for supper.

Good morning, s somerset has sun but rain again last night. Slug paradise here

Very good satisfying day yesterday, I started to prep my wardrobe innards and that went better than expected. Archers was boring and too much downton but I was hooked and another spin bobbin was filled. I will be sorting clothes for summer this week and in process, de-clutter

A new group for me this afternoon, ten minutes walk, it sounds very friendly and fun

Have a good day

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton. Up early because of yoga class at 9.30, being picked up at 9am. Towels are in the washing machine and should have time to hang them out before I go.

Then home for coffee, wash the kitchen floor, and will do both bathroom floors as well.
An afternoon in the garden looms, more weeding to do.

Cut the back grass yesterday, tidied up the giant forsythia, and potted up a mint after I found a bag of compost sitting in the wheelbarrow behind the summer house. Then took my drink and a book outside, and enjoyed an hour or so of sunshine.

May Monday sunshine smile on all today.

Morning all from Kew where I have woken up to the sounds of planes and trains! I will take my granddaughter to school and have the rest of the day free. I might pop on the tube and visit the V&A. Have a good day.

Sorry, GP requested hospital appointment…

Good morning from Wiltshire, a cloudy Monday morning here.
Off to a painting class with a friend this morning, need to leave early so did sleep well 🙄
I did very little yesterday, other than DDog walks and a very simple dinner, my oomph is flagging. I still haven’t had any response from my GP requesting an urgent appointment because of my heart failure ramping up, that’s 15 weeks now. I will contact the surgery later (again).
Hoping my lovely Gardner neighbour will give me a hand this afternoon.
Take care everyone x

Good morning from Bristol. It is sunny ATM though still quite chilly first thing.
All the best for your CT scan today, Mick.
Quiet day yesterday after church.
I’m off to the centre of Bristol for a post-cataract. Perhaps they will be able to solve my semi permanent sticky eyes. I’ll pickup a few bits from Wilko.
Have a good day, Carpe diem 🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning from a cloudy part of La Sarthe after a beautiful sunny day yesterday.

I’m glad folk enjoyed the photo of the roundabout yesterday. DH thinks they (we have a few) are probably maintained by the local team of cantonniers, charged with responsibility for the general upkeep of the commune, including public gardening, ditch clearing, litter picking, etc. Like much of French life, this is organised by the Mairie.

All the best with the scan, Mick, as you begin the journey to surgery.

Belated birthday wishes to Marydoll and creativeness, plus welcome to the latter.

Hope this is a good week for us all. 🦩💜🦩💐🦩

Morning Mick, morning All. A bright start to our corner of Somerset.

Family heaved the remaining furniture and fridge freezer back into place yesterday and ate everything in sight, never quite sure with teenage girls,

Haven’t had a lot of sleep, must try not to be grumpy. Off to a shopping mall today then across to spend an hour with our daughter in law before going with her to collect the typhoon from school. We’re on pick up one day next week, haven’t done it for years. Autism makes it important we wait in exactly the right spot.

Hope today goes well mick. Thinking of all poorly folk and those worried about family.

Hope Monday is kind to us all.
