Good Morning Wednesday 24th May 2023

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Another lovely day.
The washing machine is on so that I can hang out before the short walk to the weekly coffee meetup in the city centre.
This afternoon I must get the mower out. We have been attempting "no mow May" as DH has been away more than he's been home and I'm #lazygran. But, although the back lawn looks lovely with a covering of daisies, the front is a mess and I can feel the disapproval of the neighbours.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from South Lanarkshire where it’s cloudy and cool but I believe the sun may make an appearance.

Pleased to hear that you seem to be settling in Mattie.

Excavations sound very disruptive GG.

I worked yesterday in my local charity shop where I volunteered originally. I was covering the manager’s day off and it was good to see people I had worked with and also some of the regular customers. Back to my own shop today.

Thinking of those struggling with worries and wishing everyone the best day possible.

Morning from sunshine in S Hampshire. What a positive day gMattie, your move is proving very beneficial.
A beautiful place to spend a day Greyduster.
I played bowls yesterday, a bit rusty after the winter, today a small market to buy some plants. Then I’m collecting my friend after his cataract surgery.
Enjoy your day 🦩🦩

good morning, a beautiful sunny day again

Lovely upbeat tone on the the thread this morning, the sun helps very much

Yesterday I made yoghurt and an oven full of large fluffy fruit buns, frozen quickly to take temptation away. Then pottered outside mainly. I think we will have a few more days of this lush weather, no need to go anywhere and my body is having a thoroughly stressless time

I finished another part-made top and will do similar today, I like to change activities during the day. Might start piecing the summer bodywarmer that I have been avoiding as there are many parts to it. Just an hour a day will do it

Have a lovely day

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. Our cleaner will be here this morning. While she is here I will pop round to my friends’ and feed their fish and water the garden. After lunch OH and I will drive to Oxford and move some money around! I recently paid for my flight to Australia in August and OH has been buying bee related things! Things seem to be going well GM. Onwards and upwards. Have a good day.

Morning all

How excited you just be to see your DS tomorrow grandMattie along with an excellent GP all is good for you.

Safe journey Ashcombe

Our meeting was long and thorough yesterday. Unfortunately they came to the conclusion that we have more structural pro than first thought, so we are now yet again waiting for a decision on when the new excavations will begin.

Cleaning fairies here first thing then I am off to the gym.

(((Hugs))) to our absent and poorly friends
Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning from sunny Wiltshire, what a difference having sunshine makes!
I pootled in the garden yesterday, tidying and enjoying the peace and quiet. Walked DDog later, she was tired after her morning session with the wonderful dog walker.
All the washing dried beautifully while DH and I reassembled the swinging seat, put up the parasol etc.
Finished knitting pair of socks and started another, I thoroughly enjoy listening to a podcast or audiobook whilst knitting, so relaxing 😊
Today it’s getting sorted for the family coming at the weekend, it’s going to be bedlam I suspect! Can’t wait 😀

Good morning all from the Black country where it is a lovely sunny start to the day.
Nursery pick up today a trip to the bank beforehand, drop Dgs with his mum and then perhaps a trip to garden centre. We have a few garden centres by us each have their own charm but it will probably be the one with the pool it's a lovely to walk round feed the fish and then sit by the pool with cake and coffee.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Morning Mick, morning All. Sky looks clear, a sunny day ahead for our corner of Somerset if the forecast is right.

As predicted yesterday descended into chaos, we got there though. A more gentle day ahead. A package to drop off, things for the tip then a drive along the coast as we fancy a change of sea front. This will take us past our flooring contractors office where we’ll pay their bill now the tweaks have happened.

That sounds a decent GP surgery grandmattie, pleased for you. Safe trip tomorrow ash, looks like you’ll be coming back to sunshine. Goodness mick, it’s all happening around you.

Thinking of all with health or other worries, hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is up in South Yorkshire and it’s set to be a warm one. Yesterday’s fishing trip was very enjoyable but didn’t produce any fish. I was fishing a small bay at the reservoir which is a favourite spot and usually yields a few fish. There was another chap there and he hadn’t caught anything either! But it was more an exercise in “Can you remember how to tie a decent knot and will your legs stand up to it now?” I managed five hours, drove home and fell asleep in a chair! Everything aches this morning but I shall go again soon. I would like to live in the that house in the picture!
Writers group at the library this afternoon.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from another bright day in Bristol.
Today, I shall have to water my pots. The runner beans are doing well, ditto the tomatoes. The annuals are starting to show colour. They will look nice for some time, I hope.
I had a very productive day yesterday. I popped into the surgery to ask for a repeat prescription and an appointment with the doctor. To my amazement, the receptionist apologised for all the slots being full that day, but the GP would call later or the next day. WHAT!!! In Sandwich, if anyone spoke to you, within a fortnight, it was a miracle!
True to the promise, a doctor called in the afternoon, repeated my prescription, talked about my worries regarding my hearing, referred me to ENT and suggested I had Meniere’s. Same symptoms for years and, finally, this lovely doctor seems to have diagnosed my problems. He is fantastic!
My beloved DS1 is arriving from India this evening. Bless her, DD is driving to the airport to pick him up. I’ll se him tomorrow. What a wonderful day!
I hope everyone else has something to cheer them up today. Bon voyage, Ash, make sure you don’t allow the wine bottles to clink too much! 😂.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩❤️🦩🦩

Good morning from a brightening Sarthe.

Stay safe, Mick, with things happening around you but not to you!

Yesterday became very warm so DH was inspired to mow whilst I gave my car interior an overdue clean. Earlier we’d shopped for wine boxes and tinned items for home.

Today will be taken up with packing and sorting out the house ready to travel to Ouistreham tomorrow for the 16.30 ferry to Portsmouth.

Thinking of those who are suffering, especially Gingster’s DD.

Happy hump day! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
