Good Morning Wednesday 12th July 2023

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Cooler but dry so far.

Sorry to hear you aren't well enough to write Marydoll. Sending hugs and wishing you well.
Very exciting news about the expected baby Pittcity I hope all goes well.

I spent yesterday in Showery Edinburgh in bookshop and yarn store followed by a vegetarian restaurant meal with my cousin to celebrate DH birthday. Excellent.
Today is a funeral for a friend from the walking group who died suddenly.

Hope you all find some sunshine in your day..

Hope today improves, Marydoll and that the Corners keep busy despite worrying and frustrating delays. Singing this afternoon but nothing else planned. DGD1 will have al long day as she is committed to helping with a school concert this evening; she is enjoying the experience and is plainly a very useful pair of hands.

Good Morning, raining earlier but now overcast & muggy here in the NW, we might have had blazing June but July is turning out rainy, quite breezy and thunderstorms, playing havoc with my summer planting.

Marydoll - I hope your day gets better🌹

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey cloud, quite warm but with showers forecast for later
Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well today marydoll, take care
Such a shame about the friction at the theatre Ash I’m sure they can’t afford to loose good committee members like yourself

Yesterday we had a little walk by the river, DH is walking fairly well now without his crutches albeit a bit slower and with frequent rests. Today I’ve got the dreaded workout Wednesday at the gym, three classes to get through and then I’ll be in Costa with my friend for most of the afternoon. It sounds hard work but probably not as hard as some of your days grandmabatty!

I too suffer from bad hay fever bluesapphire, so I can understand how you feel, rotten isn’t it and nothing much works for me either 🙁
Hoping everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all and yes GG a nice start to the day.

Dh is going fishing and I will walk up to town after going to Mass on the way.
I need to send off DGD 1’s 21st birthday parcel as she won’t be coming back from Uni ( she is still on placement) . She’s spending the day with her dad in London. He is her very favourite person ❤️.
We have lots arranged for her when she comes back in September.

Ash what a shame there’s trouble in your Am Dram group .
Strange how these cliques develop! Best to keep out of all the politics! 😤.
Pittcity exciting times. Hope all goes according to plan. 👶🏼.
Mizuna your bench in the trees sounds so lovely. Dry those knees off.

Hoping all poorlies are feeling brighter 🙏

Good Morning from a now over cast S Yorks. (changed since you posted, Grey)

Pittcity hope all goes well.

My brother is collecting me at 10 for drive to sister in Devon, bit of a sibs reunion 6 days. Not a lot planned, CFS geos with me, but hope to get some seaside in. but comfy big house no one will get one top of each other.

Hope poorlies have as good a day as possible, Cornergran that date stays, and may outings and friends/family be enjoyed.

Good morning all from a sunny at the moment Black country, rain forecast for later after yesterday's torrential downpours didn't think there would be any left. Anyway have put some washing on live in hope it will dry.
Mizuna your start to the day sounded really illdylic until the mention of rain.
Marydoll hope your day improves 💐.
We have a meal booked for later so no cooking yippee.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Hello from another sunny Suffolk with no sign of rain and none yesterday.

Keep fit this morning after a 2 week gap because of the leader’s holiday. No doubt I’ll feel stiff later when I can no longer ignore the ironing pile.

Just seen Marydoll’s post. I hope the day improves for you and others feeling unwell today.

Good morning from overcast Sefton. Can you send some rain, Gala?
DH had me out cycling yesterday and plans to do the same today. A food delivery and spending time with our DGC limit his “windows”.
🚴…………....🚴‍♀️ (me).
Whatever you intend to do, may the sun shine for and upon you. Thinking of Urms whose post was a welcome read, of Kalu and anyone else who might find our support of benefit.

marydoll . Hope the day improves.

Sorry to hear that Marydoll, hope today is better.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, but thundery showers forecast this afternoon, same as.yesterday, but none materialused.

I had a generally rotten day with hay fever, very sore and stinging eyes and streaming nose, which no medication had any effect on. I still managed our health walk, as it was.either stay home and suffer, or suffer outdoors in good company. It took a good hour or so after I got home for my symptoms to subside.

And then the spicy mince which was defrosting yesterday turned out to be a Bolognese! But didn't discover that until I was halfway through cooking rice to go with it! Still, I did some peas and sweetcorn to go with it, and it turned out to be a very tasty meal.. Ham egg and chips for dinner tonight, can't get that wrong!

Well-being cafe this afternoon, if I can escape the showers; looking forward to the knit and natter, (and cake!).

Wishing all a pleasant Wednesday.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where its 12°C and cloudy.

Just checking in, but Im not too good today, so no novellas, you will be relieved to hear.

Have a good day folks.

Good morning from under an umbrella on my patio swing seat. Drizzling in this bit of Cornwall, lovely and cool. Have started reclaiming my elevated seating area in the wood above my patio, where I create a bench seat when I moved in. It has lovely views across the town and feels secretive when I'm up there among the trees and wildness. A friend is coming this morning to sort my sewing machine, which is tangling the spool. She thinks I may be using the wrong needle to sew all the denim I work with. Ooh, rain now, not drizzle. My knees are getting wet. Time to go in.

Good morning from a sunny Torbay.

A late start as we’ve only just woken up! We were late to bed because I had a long theatre committee meeting. The Treasurer left early on because she didn’t like being challenged about decisions she had made. I'm sad to say a clique has emerged and unwise decisions were made without a quorat being present which has caused much disquiet amongst members. It is unlikely I’ll stand for re-election at the next AGM. All is not rosy in theatre land!

In the overall scheme of things, with folk on here facing serious problems, it’s insignificant. Happy hump day! 🦩🥰😎💐🦩

I love the idea of you being “fairy” local, ginny 😂

Morning all

Blue sky with fluffy cotton wool clouds, I think there is a chance of rain sometime today here in S E Essex.

Gym first thing, then it’s general pottering.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning. Our last day here on the Lizard. We will stay fairy local today so DH does not have to drive far.Wishing all a pleasant day.

Morning from sunny S Hants, pleased your course is going well RosesandLilac p, relaxing after Monday.
Exciting times Pittcity a new baby!
Fingers crossed cornergran you must feel so frustrated, enjoy your planned days and cake!
I’m glad you were seen Ekwa let’s hope the new antibiotics do the job this time.
Library, farm shop and pharmacy for me today, we’re due a couple of showers, possibly.
Thoughts with those in sad places.
🦩🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and sunny. Lots of clouds about though. Pittcity exciting time ahead for you and your family. Cornergran fingers crossed that it goes ahead in five weeks. It's so annoying for you and Mr C. RoseandLilac I'm glad you're having a good time. Baubles sympathies. I never sleep well and some days I'm like a half shut knife.
Yesterday was, truth be told, a fractious day. I think I was very tired and didn't deal with the toddler tantrums well. And boy, were there some tantrums. It didn't help that the rain was torrential in the afternoon so it curtailed our outdoor activities and my grandsons are much better behaved when active. Dgs2 was decidedly grumpy, like his grandma! We did go to the country park and then the local play park in the morning and our collective grumps disappeared late afternoon. I promise to do better. Mum slept through most of my visit. She woke up to me holding her hand, smiled, said hello and then went back to sleep.
Today I am meeting a friend for breakfast then I need to pick up sandals that I've ordered from Next. This afternoon will be spent ironing and packing my suitcase for Friday's trip to Spain. Salad for dinner. Have a good day all

Well, that’s annoying. I had typed a message but an Aldi advert popped up and now my message has gone! Have a good day everyone!

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset. Looks like a mixed weather day for us. Less windy which is a huge blessing, the poor garden is battered.

Mr C’s new admission date arrived, five weeks ahead. Although staying positive there’s an underlying doubt it will happen.

In the meantime we’re arranging to spend time with friends, planning some enjoyable days and lunches out. Oh yes - and cake! Today is routine, dust removal, grocery delivery and a bill to pay for our new patio doors and window.

Several neighbours use Wiltshire Foods and enjoy them mick. No harm in trying to see if they suit you. You will as my mum used to say meet yourself coming back today mattie. Hope there’s space for your lunch. A proud moment kitty, well done Bertie. Enjoy writers group greyd.

Hope the day is kind to us all.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A cooler day with the odd shower forecast.
Usual Wednesday coffee meetup in the city centre this morning.
Packing a bag to go to stay at DD2s for a few days from this afternoon. I am on school duty for DGS2 as DGDs Caesarian birth is planned for tomorrow 🤞(it's a ring in the morning to check it's going ahead job!)
I am excited and nervous 🙂
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning from Sefton. Raining. Cool. Windy.
Our friends had a very "senior moment" yesterday & forgot they were meeting us for lunch. Understandable as they have a lot going on in their lives at the moment. We still had our nice lunch in lovely surroundings.
Zoom exercise class & Pilates this morning. Will have to do a food shop this afternoon. Rest of the afternoon will be spent at leisure watching the grass grow.
Good to hear you are improving & getting into a routine Mick. Ready made & delivered meals sounds like a good idea.
Take care all.
