Good Morning Tuesday 19th September 2023

Good morning from Durham, where of course it’s still raining. A stupid early start to help DD1 with an ongoing car problem. It saves her a hefty taxi fare.
Must fly.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from the Black country still dark but been to put bins out and there is drizzle in the air.
DH has an early appointment for an echocardiogram which means we will be in all the schools traffic.
Ash what a nice welcome home from your neighbour, I love fresh flowers in the house.
GM we have a shirty mom at our toddlers always find something to complain about last week it was the biscuits, her daughter can only eat bourbons.
Anyway must press on DH has to have tablet 1hr before food need to wake him up will catch up later.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from Cornwall where the wind is moving powerfully through the trees above my patio in the dark. Lovely atmosphere.

Yesterday on the town circular bus the driver said to a passenger, 'I went painting on Saturday night, but the thunderstorms were terrible.' Eventually I joined in (it's that sort of bus) and asked her what she'd been painting. She looked puzzled and said, 'No, I went Paignton. In my friend's motorhome.'

Later I met two friends separately for two lots of coffee in two different cafés. Living the decaffeinated life. Today lunch at my daughter-in-law's. She needs help filling in a form as she's dyslexic. Welcome back Ash.

Good morning everyone, not raining here in the Midlands so hopefully another beautiful day like yesterday, it started wet then sunshine all day.
Hope none of you suffered the floods yesterday, dreadful.
You seem a lot better today Mick, fingers crossed.
Ash,congratulations on the success of your play , if I was there I would have to see it.

Good morning from a dry Bristol. I don’t know how long we shan’t have rain as vile weather is forecast.
I’m in two minds at going to the outdoor tai chi this morning as I have a 25 minute walk each way and don’t want to be soaked and cold in the wind…
The crafts for the toddlers yesterday was very successful, I hadn’t prepared enough, so had a few disappointed children and one very shirty, unpleasant granny!
I went to WI in the afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by the welcome. My previous visit had been greeted with a wall of silence.
There was enough sunshine for some of the inmates to sit out on our lawn and chew the fat. It’ll be sad in the winter not to have anywhere to meet; we don’t have a common room.
I trust that all the travellers arrived safely, and hope today is gentle to all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a breezy but dry Torbay.

Thank you for the good wishes for safe travel. We arrived back safely yesterday lunchtime after a slightly gruelling journey due to squally showers and roadworks causing delays. Babbacombe bathed in sunshine was a welcome sight! My lovely neighbour, who waters my plants, had put a vase of flowers in the flat which was so kind.

Back to routine with a session with the Props team at the theatre this morning. I expect we'll be busy putting away items used in our recent Agatha Christie play: Spider's Web, which played to near full houses throughout the week! A great success both artistically and financially!

A good day is wished to you all. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
