Good morning from Malta where it is very windy and around 16°C.

Had a dreadful night worrying about my problem with the damp wall. The painter has other commitments until mid Feb so it looks as though I shall be camping out in the spare room for some time. I’d hoped all would be finished by this weekend.

It’s my long babysitting day today. Both little chaps have colds but so far so good. Fingers crossed.

Was disappointed with the tennis yesterday when Alcaraz was eliminated rather easily by Zverev.

Bonnybanko how lovely to have a holiday to look forward to. Have you packed yet?

Wishing you all a good day with thoughts always for those finding life difficult.☀️

Good morning from a drizzly South Downs where the forecast is for the heady height of 11c after last weeks deep freeze!

Yesterday was the most beautiful early spring day, and nothing is more glorious than my walk in the woods and fields in the peace, listening to the birds and watching the wildlife.

Today I plan to do a bit more spring cleaning to the little sitting room and hopefully if the drizzle stops a bit more garden clearance ready for the spring and summer.

Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony for the world.

Good morning all it’s cold dark and dry here on the east coast of Fife. My holiday to Tenerife is getting closer and I just can’t wait I’m getting so excited

Have a good day my friends keep safe

Good morning from a cloudy but mild Torbay.

I’ve promised myself a day at home so I can do my tax return; the deadline is next Wednesday. Last year I had such high expenditure on my rental that no tax was due but this year there has been less.

Have as good a day as possible, whatever your circumstances. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning, dull, flat sky and dry today in s somerton

I was busy all morning yesterday, which is how I like it. Sewing room, I sorted a small cupboard and a shelf. I thought I would be throwing things away but no, it is still all useful but now just tidier

The usual walk yesterday, in reverse, not as hilly but today I am definitely going the hard way around. I need to keep in working order as I want to be cycling soon, as soon as the lanes are cleaner

I have some table -top sorting this morning and will likely prep ready to sew an oiled canvas tote for a dd. It is nice, lined, with an interior pocket and with leather straps, buckles and rivets.

Hellebores are flowering and the snowdrops are out, a lovely early sign of spring

Have a good day

Good morning Mick and grandMattie - I’m back in the earlybirds team today 😂 with the chamberpot ☕️ at the ready….

My dad also had problems with his blood test on Monday Mick - five goes and an arm like a pincushion at the end !

A quiet day sorting the years birthday cards (I have none until March) and a trot to Bingo this evening with my sister in law - we haven’t been for a few weeks so hope the snowball hasn’t gone out - it’s worth a few hundred 🤑

Will pop in later and read about your bizzinesses x

Good morning from a damp Bristol. It rained in the night, after a lovely day, but don’t think it is now.
Had a very busy day yesterday. I cleaned all my pictures while the painter finished bits and bobs. The frames were shamefully dirty. We had arranged a bookcase swap with DD, mine didn’t fit in the painter’s car, but hers did. Bless him, he did a little job for one of my neighbours too.
I’ve been trying to shuffle stuff around before unpacking the last boxes, but I can’t until the final flat pack is assembled.
Tai chi today and dinner at DD’s. Absolutely must do my Spanish homework for tomorrow; I’ve just been too busy this week. The rest of the week is no exception either.
Hugs to all my dear friends in need on GN. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
