Good Morning Everyone,
Dark with rain here in brackley this morning.
Yesterdays trip out saw more people heading to Bicester Village Designer outlet mainly from overseas looking for bargains , it looked like a slow start as few people about earlier .
Today will do bus trip with aims of getting a cafe stop as well .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning,

It was a brighter start today after a day of rain and strong winds yesterday (and through the night). However, it’s beginning to cloud up again, so I expect more rain is on the way.

I had a very lazy day yesterday, just pottering, reading and watching tv as it wasn’t fit to venture out anywhere. I’m not bothered about the sales theses days. Crowds no longer suit me.

Condolences to you and your family Susan.

Good afternoon from a very windy East Midlands.

Very odd, I can’t read any gransnet messages on my iPhone but on my I- pad I can !

DD and co have left for Liverpool via lunch with DSiL’s brother in Cheltenham do towels and some bedding in washing machine, food oddments eaten for lunch, and a quiet few days ahead about which I feel unsure as I have enjoyed having people in the house despite the occasional drama, as when DD dropped the fish pie which was our supper. Cupboard fronts and floor finally sorted out and it was as well we had ham and lots of cheese to replace the pie.

Meanwhile I have a baking session for a friend’s little party tomorrow - mince pies, since DGD1 laid claim to my supply, and sausage rolls. Nothing difficult do what could possibly go wrong?

I'm just able to get on, thanks to the corruption. I hadn't realised the desktop version was accessible. Susan I'm very sorry to hear about your mil. My heartfelt condolences.
I'm heading to a friend's house later for a catch-up with former colleagues. I'm not really looking forward to it but I'm sure I'll enjoy myself once there

So sorry to hear your news Susan sending my condolences to you. Hoping your medical procedures have gone smoothly.

I’m not feeling brilliant today I woke up with an attack of vertigo. I was half expecting it after watching a TV programme where the camera work was allowed the place leaving me feeling queasy. It seems to be passing over thankfully.

I couldn't access GN on my mobile or my Kindle. What is desk top?
Has anyone heard from GN what the problem was and how it happened. Was the site hacked? I was going to report it but couldn't see how to do it.
