Morning Mick, morning All. Looks dry out there, our corner of Somerset is forecast a sunny start with evening rain. We’ll see!

Yesterdays sunny weather was just right for garden sorting. Had a thoroughly good time. Mr C wielded some shears for a few minutes, he loves to reduce the size of anything that grows hmm before retreating to the conservatory and his latest jigsaw which I fear will be with us for a few months.

Ironing with my name on it this morning. If Mr C is able we’ll have a light lunch in our little local garden centre. First time since surgery 🤞.

Thinking of all with personal mountains to climb. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Ash, yes ostrich is interesting, but not much else, isn’t it? My Philip was always keen to sample all sorts of food. As a boy, he and I were the only ones who would order snails in France.

Good morning from a still dark Bristol. Quite chilly start to the day but warming to a pleasant 20C or so by the afternoon.
I’m getting on really well with my quilt. It should be finished by the weekend. Actually, I was making a big one, but changed my mind and am using the squares to make two smaller ones…
In the afternoon, I went to my book group. We were reading “84 Charing Cross Road”, a rather sweet but very slight book. Few understood why it made such an impact at the time of publication.
Today, I’ve got tai chin in the morning, dining with DD and family, then staying on to child mind; both parents have evening commitments. I have made a lemon drizzle cake for DD’s PCC meeting tonight, at her request.
Mayer yo E have a pleasant day, especially those in need of comfort. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a cooler corner of the Sarthe.

Yesterday remained dry for our trip out to meet friends. Their car had broken down so we picked them up from their hotel and went out for lunch at a nearby bistro. We sampled ostrich steak which was “interesting”.

Such sad news from Marydoll yesterday; I hope the bereaved family receives good support. 💐

A day of catching up at home awaits. I hope it’s a good day for others. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dark start but dry outside and hopefully a bit more cooler and seasonal .
Today my plans involve using bus to Bicester , depending how I feel returning either after an hour or at the most 2 hours .
Might be tempted to have a half pint of beer see how it goes .
Take Care,
Mick
