Good Morning Wednesday 2nd August 2023

Morning Mick and all

It’s grey, breezy and heavy rain due from lunchtime, hey ho British summer.

Third night in a row with little sleep, my mind meandering to places I would rather it didn’t, consequently I feel pretty rubbish. I will go to the gym first thing, DD will have her PT session as I finish so that I can watch The Imp. Then I think she wants to do a big food shop so I might join her.

Ashcombe I hope DH has an uneventful journey, grandMattie you seem to be having a lot of niggles with your glasses.

Try to keep dry folks 🙋‍♀️🦩☔️☔️☔️

Morning all from a gloomy looking West Oxfordshire. My cleaner is coming this morning, I hope. It is the WI coffee morning in the village Coffee Shop. It is usually a hoot. Later I will pop into our local town and buy wedding cards and birthday cards and presents. I would prefer to drive to Oxford but it is still a nightmare to get to because of the 6-month roadworks. I think I mentioned elder son’s partner leaving her coat behind with her purse. Royal Mail came up trumps. I paid £8 for next day delivery, and they delivered. Have a good day. Thinking of those suffering in all sorts of ways, and especially Urms whose musings I enjoyed reading.

Sorry. Here’s photo

Good morning from a drizzly Bristol.
We had a power cut during the night and that has discombobulated me somewhat. I didn’t hear any thunder, though we are promised some.
I hope olddd has a good journey back. Will you be following soon Ash?
I had a good “tai chi” class yesterday. They don’t seem to do any of what I call tai chi, just all sorts of versions of shibashi and some Xi Gung.
I managed to make the patchwork square I messed up, not once but three times, but making the parts too small. Yes, I know measure twice cut once, but if the dimensions are muddled in your mind…
Today is empty. If it isn’t too wet, I may go and get my glasses adjusted yet again in town.. Having a lot of trouble with them/headaches ATM.
Have a good day all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a wet South Downs. Gales, rain and thunder forecast all day. I do feel sorry for the families on holiday, so disappointing for the children, although yesterday I spoke to a couple of mums who said their children were quite happy as it meant that they wouldn’t be dragged away from their screens. How times change!

I shall trog out with the dog, but spend the rest of the day indoors - I always have plenty to do. I’ve started an OU course to keep the links in my brain going. I’ve decided at nearly 80 it is time to give it plenty of exercise.

Veggie day so mushroom risotto today.

Enjoy the day however soggy

Good morning, the moon woke me just past 4. Windy and rain, grim today

I have been very busy for a couple of days, much sorting and tidying in my sewing room. It is pretty straight now and I have made a catalogue of fabrics, all too easy to forget what I have and where. Achy shoulder with all the lifting and loading up and down steps so a slower-paced lighter day today but still with the clearing/sorting objective in mind

It feels autumnal in the air, apples are ripening fast and my baby rowan leaves are getting a red tinge. I quite like days like this, as long as I have a project to concentrate on and to keep me moving.

Have a good day

In haste from a drizzly and windy Torbay.

Glad you are feeling better and enjoyed the film, Mick.

An early start here for DH to catch a 7.30 train from Newton Abbot as he begins his return trip to France.

Hope all are well. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
