Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry and cloudy here in brackley this morning.
I did get the bus to Bicester yesterday ,and got a haircut as well.
Saw people I have not seen for awhile as well.
Today maybe similar , I may go to the chippy and get some Fish & Chips as well .
Take Care,
Mick

Oops our conservatory was covered in flying ants a few days ago but within half an hour they had all flown. They do provide a good food source for birds. Not keen on chemical sprays.

Great news that Mr Cornergran is recovering after his op.

Good morning Mick and all who have followed. Glad your day went well yesterday Mick - and you got your haircut! That in itself is a tonic - or it certainly is for us ladies!
Grandmattie the form of Tai chi you are doing is very different to the one I teach, which is slow and calm and more like an elegant (-ish!!) dance! It's all about balance and calm.
I have decided to post first and read later - although I noticed your photo as I scrolled down Nannyjan - so beautiful.
We were forecast another wet and misty day here on the Angus coast - yesterday was yucky to the nth degree - but it's quite bright so the washing machine is doing its thing 🤞
No plans for me except I must pop down into the town to visit the fish shop. I was sad yesterday to note that one fish shop has now closed and is only now running their shop at the pierhead in a fishing village up the coast. A lovely drive to be sure, but not so handy!
The other thing I must do is get my train ticket booked to Edinburgh to see Dancing GD at the Fringe. You used to be able just to pop into the station and buy your ticket but now 'advances in technology' mean this simple act has become so complicated - for this old behemoth anyway!
Have a wonderful cruise Blue - you've been looking forward to this for so long that it's magic that the day is here!
And so glad to note the Mr C's op has gone well Cornergran after so many postponements.
Have a good day everyone with sun in your hearts, if not in the sky x

Georgesgran, I’m in awe of you travelling the Western By Pass. Wish I could do it. Newcastle is an almost two hour bus journey from me.
BlueSapphire, your cruise sounds amazing, enjoy and do post photos.
Glad MrC has had his op, hope he progresses quickly.
Your mention of haircuts prompted me to send dh out today for a tidy up.
Have had a quiet week with no child and dog minding. The house is so empty 😀.
Off to my exercise bike now.
Thoughts as always with Urms, Kalu and Baggs.

A late good morning from a now sunny Sefton. Hope it's here for a while as I have washing on. Up early but a busy morning so late arriving here. No plans for the rest of the day.
Have a good day all.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Disturbed night, cat and cramps.
Little old car got through her MOT, yay. She’s also all clean and tidy as I wanted her to be presentable. I’ll soon put a stop to that..
Will photocopy music for concert next month today to keep and hand over originals to my pianist, who sometimes complains at the state of it. He’s had a detached retina and cataracts, so I hope he’s up to it.
Glad you are out and about Mick and that Corners op is out of the way.
Thinking of Urms, Kalu and all with worries.🌹

Late good morning, good news from cornergran done at last, sending best wishes for you both.
Have a lovely cruise BlueSapphire.
Drizzly rain here, hopefully it will brighten up.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire. Great that you enjoyed your bus trip Mick, you’re doing the right things.

I’m late to the thread today, I am working my way through an enormous pile of shredding. I have not read all your posts yet. Will catch up over a cup of tea.

Good to hear from you Cornergran, I hope there’s more good news today.

Sorry you’re feeling poorly today Marydoll, please rest and look after yourself today.

Looking forward to hearing about your travels BlueSapphire.

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

Have a good day all 🌻
