Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry with some wind here at the moment in brackley .

Today, TdF again in the Alps close to Mont Blanc , back in the 70`s I raced in Switzerland,and stayed on shore of Lake leman Geneva and looked across to France as we were midway between Geneva and Lausanne .
Take Care,
Mick

Happy birthday Ekwanimity
Have a lovely day. There's a tennis match to watch.

I'm still on the bus. We've been behind Caravans, met an accident, now approaching glen coe. It's raining.

Late this morning due to DD1 needing a chat just as I was about to leave for mass so I’ll need to go tonight 🀨

Happy Birthday EkwaNimitee, looking forward to hearing about your treat!

I must get out for a walk today, I have been slipping in that respect, the constant rain and wind has been very off putting. Having been told that I do too much I am getting far too good at not doing very much!

Wishing everyone the best day possible and thinking of our missing friends.

DH has just made poached egg on toast for breakfast, I have come back upstairs to shower and fake tan before going out to lunch with some friends. We have plenty of family news to catch up on.

Have a peaceful Sunday folks, thinking of dear Urmstongran and Kalu πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈπŸ¦©

Good morning from a sunny, breezy South Downs.

All behind like the cows tails this morning! Just finished sorting out my airing cupboard and unwrapped the new sheets - like an idiot I have ordered all blimmin’ fitted sheets -so have just ordered the correct flat sheets. So my savings in the sale aren’t! 😑.

The garden is so battered after yesterdays gales, and it is still very windy out, but I will try to prop up a couple of things.

Final today, - I don’t think I can watch it as I just know that Djokovic will win and he isn’t someone I can take to at all.

Fish day today so salmon Mediterranean bake for lunch. Minestrone soup for later. Must go and pick some carrots , onions and beans for the soup.

Windy but mild here in North Norfolk. Will be cooking all morning. Daughter and partner usually come but have invited his widowed mother too. They take her out most weekends but are getting fed up with it as she has 3 other children living nearby who never take her out so it’s all on them. They were arguing about it yesterday so I thought maybe inviting her here would be a change for her plus smooth the waters for them.
Maybe I will need a few paracetamol after lunch!! 🀣🀣

Good Morning from a windswept and rainy holiday Devon.

Yesterday I had a wet and windy Beach walk, this has been a pretty indoorsy holiday. Nice to be around my sis and bro.

I watched a film on prime called "What we did on holiday" Very very highly recommended indeed - quirky/funny family drama a sadness but happy end. (watch out for not getting the 1961 film of same name)

I need to take it really easy today as long drive back tomorrow

Bests for poorlies and enjoy outings and family.

Happy Birthday

Good morning Mick and everyone from breezy brightish Carlisle.
Friday saw a visit to the doc who is going to organise one of those ECG machines for me to wear for a few days, after I'd expressed my concerns about my slowing ticker. He didn't seem concerned but do they ever? Heaven knows when it will be. I'm surprised our surgeries can't fit them as one did for me before in Whitehaven, (heart having too fast episodes then!)

Well, I have survived to get another birthday in today, quite a few more to get in before achieving my card from the king/president.
I'm going to have a day of not much, I am expecting a treat later, will tell all tomorrow!

Have a good day all.

Good morning,
The rain has ceased for the moment, though the sky looks full of it. Yesterday, we had torrential rain and thunderstorms. Apparently, one of the nearby supermarkets had to close as its entrance flooded. At least the gardens are benefitting, although the grass has put such a spurt on that it will need cutting as soon as it’s dry enough to do so.
A lazy Sunday planned, with perhaps some pottering in the garden deadheading, etc, if the rain holds off.

Pleased to read that as each day passes you are feeling that bit better, mick. Enjoy the TdF this afternoon.

To all unwell, sad or troubled, I hope today brings you some respite.
