Have the best day you can everyone🌺🦩

Good morning from a sunny Bristol.
I had an agitated night and have woken up later than I normally do.
I had planned to go out for hot chocolate or something, then was told they would arrive late and spend barely a hour. Then the girls came over earlier that I had thought. So plans shelved earlier, we had a drink at home and played Rummikub. They never played it at home though they have hundreds of games, including one I gave them years ago.
It reminded me of DD aged about 5, playing with my parents who were veterans of the game. DD having picked up the rules in record time, won almost every time, to the annoyance and admiration of her grandparents!
When DD arrived, she “helped” me plan what furniture I would give away and what/where it would be replaced with/go. Our ideas emphatically do not coincide, but hers will prevail for the sake of “a piece of quiet”…. I’ll get used to it.
Today is busy with tai chi, a walk with a church lady and a home haircut.
Have a gentle day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morningMick and all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and cloudy. Mizuna that will be a spectacle for sure.
Yesterday was a good day. Lovely sunshine for the boys. We fed the cygnets in the park, played and ran around and dgs2 slept for two and a half hours in the afternoon. Mum was sitting up last night but didn't remember it was her birthday. She has very little short term memory left.
Today is another childcare one. I'm not sure what we'll do. Dgs2 has a doctor's appointment this morning so DD will pick him up and bring him back. Maybe a railway station visit to please dgs1. Have a good day all

Good morning Mick and all from Oxfordshire, I haven’t looked out at the weather yet, but as i am oven cleaning this morning it doesn’t really matter what the weather is doing.
I had a pneumococcal jab yesterday evening but apart from a sore arm no other side effects, apparently the jab can also help to prevent Meningitis and septicaemia, who knew?
Have a good day everyone, my thoughts are with all those grans who are unwell or looking after poorly folks.

I’ll try again!

I don’t know where the photos are!

Hello all. It’s 3 pm in Port McQuarry, so I’ve had breakfast and lunch. I borrowed my brother’s partner’s car today to drive my brother and I to a rain forest centre. It was amazing. We had lunch whilst been harassed by wild turkeys! The weather is warm and I am looking forward to squash risotto tonight. Have a good rest of the day.
Here’s some photos (some of you may recognise the dress!)

Good morning from Cornwall where sun is promised today plus, we are told, 80,000 people arriving to see the tall ships. Watched one of them arrive yesterday with cannons firing, horns blaring, flags flying and the masts adorned with sailors, as per this photo. An awesome sight and somewhat poignant, as my dad used to paint them from his studio not far from where I was sitting.

Watched Extraordinary Portraits on BBC iplayer last night, inspiring. Today, I'm meeting with a prayer friend at her house. Thanks karmalady for suggesting yesterday that I vary craft pursuits to relieve discomfort.
