Good Morning Monday 26th June 2023

Good morning all from a much cooler (13°) Angus coast. In fact it felt positively chilly during the night and I had to get up and put another cover on the bed.
Glad you're feeling so much better Mick, but don't go wild with the housework - it'll still be there tomorrow!
My insides have been playing up for the past few days but I'm hoping today some food will be accepted. Trouble is, I can't think of anything I fancy. A bit of salmon and new potatoes might be sensible .....
Back to tai chi tomorrow, always something to look forward to.
That Brass Band concert sounded wonderful greyduster, also your DD's concert band Bluesapphire.
Busy days ahead for everybody, have fun. Thoughts as always for those feeling not so great and 💐🙏 for those in need x

Good morning from Norfolk where it’s sunny with a welcome breeze.
Yesterday a Chinese water deer watched as we made our way along a footpath through a field. It was such a treat to see it.
Whatever your plans, have the best day. Thinking of those with troubles and sorrows.

Good morning Mick and all from the Scottish Borders. The birds are happy after the rain. The forecast said rain and it was right.

3 of us arrived at the garden party and were met by a man with a large umbrella. To our relief he led us to a very large canopy covering the food and chairs and tables The rain stopped enough to enjoy the beautiful walled garden and I won garden tokens in the raffle.

How awful for you and your neighbours having that noise each Sunday. roseandlilac enjoying yourself yes but at the expense of others, no . You must complain.

I am glad you are recoveringMick even feeling like doing housework is a sign that your energy is coming back.

I hope you have a much better week Marydoll

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny-at-the-moment Carlisle. Showers will probably happen sooner or later.
We had a couple of hours of torrential rain yesterday afternoon and regular heavy showers all evening, and about an hour of sun in between. As I had no plans to be outside the rain was very welcome as I won't have to be watering plants for a while.

My infection that I thought I'd fought off bounced back last night so I will take things carefully today but I'm frustrated at having to abandon plans to get out and plant out in the garden.
This is all very minor compared with Marydolls problems, I do hope your new drugs are going to get you up and at things again before long.

RoseandLilac, I don't see why a minority should enjoy themselves at the expense, I presume, of the majority. That sounds like a truly untenable situation and I second the advice of contacting a councillor or two. And I would have thought, even though it's on private land, some sort of permission for that sort of noisy activity should have been required.

Go easy on the housework Mick!

And have the best possible day, all.

It's a lot cooler this morning .Washer on with bedding in,we had a lovely barbecue at Dds yesterday.When we got home we had a small shower of cooling rain.Oh lost two crowns over the weekend so a expensive visit to dentist hopefully today . Sending 💐 to those needing a lift.

roseandlilac, find local horse owners, whose horses were affected and also look up clay shooting regulations on google. There are regulations on shooting if it affects horses. Dd had similar but not clays, she is tenacious and it has stopped. All the local farmers and gamekeepers agreed that this person was breaking the code of conduct and he backed down

Don`t let this slide otherwise you will have to put up with it year on year

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Yesterday was very humid so I had an hour sitting in the garden, I was doing a crossword when the back door opened and gave me a shock as I live alone. SIL had returned from Brussels and had come for his Sunday dinner, I thought he was away until the 29th.
Rain started mid afternoon but we did not have any thunder, sister 5 miles away did.
Watched some Glastonbury on iplayer, Lewis Capaldi.
Be careful Mick, I was told not to lift, pull or push after my operation so that the tummy can heal.
Thoughts are with poorly people and carers.

I agree Harri. It was six weeks before I was alllowed to even lift a kettle!

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
After arranging to meet up with old friend in city for lunch at a favourite gallery, we arrived to find it closed. I think I had Saturday and Sunday mixed up in my mind when looking at the opening times online. Worrying when that happens brainwise…
Anyway we pottered down the hill to a restaurant we have frequented before. What a disappointment. After waiting ages and no order taken, another long wait and the food was awful. A Yorkshire pudding straight from King Alfred, meal barely warm and a small piece of chicken. Not that cheap and throw in a hard faced waitress. Left a review on Tripadvisor and crossed it off the list.
Found a very interesting vintage shop, new to me though there for years and bought three books, which I need like a hole in the head.
Off to sing again today so just about to have a warble.
Easy does it Michael and thoughts to all with worries.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. It’s feeling a little cooler today after yesterday’s hot muggy weather and thunderstorms.

Pleased you’re recovering Mick, small steps are best.

Marydoll that’s amazing re the BP, how marvellous if they have somehow hit on the right medication. My BP was 280 / 180 at its peak and took months to hit on the right combination. I hope you feel a little stronger as the fluid lessens too.

I think we had your deluge over the border in Lancashire Greyduster. Your weather sounds the same as ours Ekwa. MrB is working on a complicated structure of pipes and pumps to keep a bird bath and the small wildlife pond that empties into the main pond topped up, but the heavens opened and he was driven indoors! At least it helped fill the water butts.

Sat here finishing my morning tea, listening to birdsong and reading all your news. I haven’t been too well lately, nowhere near as bad as Marydoll but having to cut down on physical activity is so frustrating. It’s good to appreciate the small things. My mug is now empty, morning meds all taken in the correct order, so I must get up, showered and dressed. No real plans for today other than physio and a little housework and a walk.

Thinking of Kalu, Urms and all who are dealing with illness right now.

Have a good day all 🌻🌻🌻

Good morning all. Glad the heat has resided a bit. Spoke to my brother last night on the phone whilst sitting in front of the living room window open and he said” you’ll be complaining in a few months about putting the heating on” he did make me laugh. Lovely weekend back to work at 11 and just chilling. Have a good day all. Take care mick don’t overdo it.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good morning Mick, good morning all from sunny but cool Anglesey.
Scaffold has gone up on the derelict house next door, drills are drilling, hammers hammering, workmen whistling.
Plastering and painting for Orlin and I following the builder finally settling out of court at the last minute. A huge relief after five years of battling.
Nothing compared to others struggles I know.
Keep on keeping on. Bon courage 🦩

They seem to have had it everywhere but here, Blossoming🤦‍♀️!
