Good morning from a cloudy, breezy Torbay following a wet evening.

Another good performance of Dad’s Army, enhanced for me by having my DS and DGS3 (aged 7) to watch. The latter insisted on coming with his Dad; some of you might remember that he is just getting into acting himself - he had several minor parts in Alice Through the Looking Glass last month. I don’t think his Grandpa (my ex) was too impressed by his attendance. He told me huffily that they’d “had plans for the evening “. The recently bereaved family (who lost a three month old baby) are also staying and my DGS is helping to distract the older sister.

Unfortunately, our director has tested positive for Covid so isn’t able to see the final performances. I’ve rewritten the words of The Cornish Floral Dance to reflect the various shenanigans connected with the run. We’ll video it for her at our celebration between the two shows today. The photos show cast members with the coasters I bought for them! I found them online from a Dad’s Army museum in Thetford.

I hope the weekend gives you all a reason to smile. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Afternoon! I went with my sister to the market in Manly this morning. We met my niece. She had bought a dress for her Hen Party next week. My sister bought a mock fur coat for 25 dollars. I looked at a selection of beautiful earrings but bought nothing! Later my sister drove us up to a look out point on the coast and we had a stroll. Dinner is at my ex sister in law’s tonight. Have a good day.

gm how are you today? Feeling happier I hope. I’ve made those peanut biscuits and everyone likes them, I bet they are the first to go at your coffee morning.

Good morning from a damp South Downs. Lots of rain overnight but no thunder, although Duncan the dog was clearly expecting it as he shivered and panted, so I sat on the floor with him, until he calmed down with a cold fan on him.

DIL had the clips out after her ankle support was removed, so alls healing well.

Sons 50th birthday party today. All guests to arrive from 2pm, including Duncan, who will be delirious with joy to have all his beloved family together in one place.
Not sure what to wear, something casual I think as I guess we will be in the garden a lot. Nice to have the family all together - doesn’t happen often. My GS and his partner are making the cake shaped like a cow. (Long story) it is being iced this morning apparently. It is being made at my daughters as they live away near the university.

Peace and harmony to all.

Good morning from Bristol.
I didn’t feel well yesterday and had an emotionally miserable day, matching the weather,
I made some peanut butter biscuits (very easy, 3 ingredients) and some chocolate tray bake for this morning’s church coffee.
Apart from that, I’ve got another empty.
Hope the unhappy and unwell have a gentle weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick, the road is damp here too on the Cotswolds hillside, I’m not sure what today’s forecast is.
After clearing the ironing pile yesterday I didn’t actually do much at all for the rest of the day 🙄, just faffed around. Not that that’s a bad thing 😊
Today a dog walk first then sort out something for lunch and I will get some knitting done while I listen to podcasts or an audiobook.
Have a lovely weekend everyone 🌹
