Good Morning Everyone,
Its twilight before we start to have another hot day here in brackley , normally its raining when the fair comes to town.
Mind think back last year sees the anniversary of the Queens Death will it be marked with something of an event?
Otherwise , taking it day by day as to health improvements .
Take Care,
Mick

Late in the day as usual but had to sympathise with Ash on the tragic news of her family. As has been said 'there are no words'. Love and prayers for you all flowers

LauraNorderr too true! What amazing workers though. They started at eight and had finished by ten. So my viewing was cut short. 🤣 Seriously they did a fabulous job and the garden is looking much better.

Oh gosh I forgot to say good morning to you all from a hot and hazy Anglesey. Good morning Mick and all, wishing you all the best day you can muster.
Thank you AuntieFlo for your kind words yesterday, I seem to remember we share a need for an extra hour or two of 💤 in the morning. Hence my irregular posting.

Happy birthday to Monk, Jacs and Harrigran’s granddaughter. Also to Grandmabatty who thinks her birthday and Christmas have come.

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Sept-23 11:16:29

Ash such heartbreak for that poor little seven year old girl and her Dad. We can’t imagine the depths of grief that drove her mum to such an act. So sad.

Wishing you a very happy 70th birthday monk 🎂.

Happy birthday to you too Jacs.

Belated Anniversary wishes to Urms and hubby for yesterday. Hope you had a very enjoyable day. Lovely to have Matt back too.
Sago I really enjoyed your photos and holiday news.
Sar hope everything turns out right at school for your DGD and she gets to enjoy going. So sad about your family Ash

Good morning Mick, Annie and all
Ash, I have no words, but send condolences to the family if your ex husband. Such a tragedy.

I’ve only read Ashcombe’s post which has stopped me in my tracks. I’m lost for words.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

I am so terribly sorry to hear your sad news Ashcombe, my thoughts are with that sorrowing family flowers

Gwenisgreat Fri 08-Sept-23 09:57:11

Good morning from cloudy Scarborough hoping the sun reps out shortly! Oh Ash my heart bleeds for your extended family - very sad, indeed!
Birthday greetings to Monk and Jacs. Have a great day!
Yesterday to my horror I realised I hadn’t brought all my meds with me, so what a palaver phoning my surgery, they electronically sent a prescription to the local pharmacist. Then I had to search Scarborough for OTC medication I take!! Eventually done! And walked down to the beach for a bit of sun and an ice cream
Have the best day possible folks

Good morning from Eden the sun has finally broken through after a day of Sarah sand and haze yesterday.
Sorry to hear the sad news Ash and birthday congratulations to all you young girls. We are still them inside if not on the out.cupcake
Problems with deliveraries today. DPD should have delivered yesterday and did not and have a contact number.
DH is cleaning his boots and pressing his kit for the three Rugby Union matches this weekend. Luckily I quite like it myself but not when it takes over the whole weekend. Does anyone else's husband turn into another person when RU is mentioned? My FIL gave permission for us to marry as I kept quiet when it was on T.V.
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend activities.sunshine

Ash such sad news. My friend’s daughter took her own life during lockdown due to post natal depression leaving husband of one and a half years and six month old baby. No words are available to cover these situations.
Fish van today and some more shopping and cleaning before Dgds arrive for the weekend their parents are of to Krakow. They will eat us out of house and home and leave us exhausted with all the activities we have to take them to all separately and at different times of course!
Never mind we love them dearly. No A4 sheet of instructions now like we used to get when they first came as babies 🤣. No bags of baby paraphernalia just hair and makeup products phones iPads sports kits, drama outfit etc etc. They themselves keep us right. Getting them up and out to two different schools on Monday morning will be challenging though.
Make the most of the sun everyone.

Good morning all from Glasgow where the mist is now clearing and the sun is breaking through.

Oh, Ash such heartbreaking news, poor woman and her family. My heart goes out to the little 7yr old girl.
A close friend of DD1 also took her own life leaving behind a 4yr old daughter, 10 yrs ago. This little girl and GD2 are now close friends, both 14 and has a specialplace in DD1’s heart.

Happy Birthday Monk and many happy returns of the day. 🥳

A quick visit to our local pharmacy to collect a few scripts then it’s home again to faff about in the sunshine.

Have a pleasant day all. My thoughts are never far from those with sorrow, illness, difficult times to bare.
Bags 💐

Happy Birthday Jacs7 🎂🥂🎉🎁

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast. I have been able to type Sunnyside for quite a bit now!
Ash I’m so sorry, that is such a sad story🙏🏻

Im off to Specsavers this afternoon and will pick up some euros against my trip next week. Taxi for airport booked, but outfit wise, can’t decide. Salzburg will be warm, but looks a bit rainy and I also want something smartish for concerts etc. First world problems.
DD in Mykonos with friends, but chose the wrong week weather wise when it’s glorious here…
Hope your health is stabilising Mick and thoughts to all with worries.
