Good Morning Friday 16th February 2024

Morning from a clear S Hants, it rained overnight. Beautiful Whitewave slugs decimated ours.
Knee is still painful, I’m dependent on the stick, meaning my days are unexciting with small gains. It’ll get there, just slowly. Good you’re feeling better Bellasnana.
🦩🦩

Use nematodes - as soon as the ground reaches 10c - only need it the once I find - usually sometime in March - so not too late.

Thank you Whitewave I’ve used them for veg before.

Good morning everyone from a damp but brightening Northampton, sunny spells forecast and mild.

Had a day in yesterday and managed to get lots of things done. Gave my en-suite a deep clean then tried a woollen wash in the new machine, and hung the jumpers up on the line as it was so mild. Completed defrosting the old garage freezer, mopped up the remaining water and cleaned out the inside. And actually got round to tidying the study, and dusting the numerous bookshelves.

Dance classes this morning - it seems to work well, changing to Friday classes from Thursday; I enjoy having the whole day free on Thursday to get a few things done. Maybe a coffee after classes with a friend.

Things come in threes, don't they? First the freezer and washing machine, now it looks as though my tablet is on its last legs, taking ages to charge and running down really quickly. Still it's been good for 6 years, much longer than my previous ones. I will stick with a Kindle Fire, as Amazon do a quick and easy transfer of everything.

Have a good Friday everyone.

Good morning all, it’s damp again here in South Lanarkshire.

Off to childmind today. DS has been having central heating installed this week and DDoutL and the children had decamped to an Airbnb for the duration.

We will take the older two out, other grandmother will mind the youngest while their parents restore some kind of order.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a damp looking Suffolk which we reached last night after a tiresome journey home from York because of train cancellations.

We enjoyed a lovely few days there with younger daughter and family who we haven’t seen for several months because of the distance and their busy lives. We haven’t visited the National Railway Museum since our children,now in their 40s were teenagers and we were very impressed with the changes,especially a newly opened interactive science’lab’. That was a great hit with the children and enjoyed by the adults( mainly because of watching them!).

It is half term in that area and the museum was very busy which is not surprising as it is free and a wonderful resource for the area.

Nothing planned for today apart from a dog walk and some local shopping. Hope those with worries for themselves or loved ones find some comfort today.

Good morning from a bright Severnside. The temperature is quite high on the thermostat.

I’d just finished my breakfast and Beechnutella msg’d to ask if I was ready to chat. She has the day off to take advantage of no rain to plant hedging. I’m going outside too to cut down shrubs.

Pant 🤣. Enjoy your cruise, worry about the calories when you come home.

Good wishes to all 🌺🌝

Good morning from North Yorkshire. It’s a bright start to the day.
Shopping and gardening today. This evening I’m going to the Jazz Club. We used to go quite often but have rarely been since the pandemic as it’s always very crowded. Several friends still go regularly and one has broken her leg so the ticket has come to me. I do most of my socialising in the daytime in winter so this will be a rare treat.
Have a good day everyone.

Pantsglas enjoy your cruise. You deserve it

Drying up after a wild and wet evening and night which made our drive to Bath for the Tenebrae concert interesting. Well worth the effort, though - sublime Bach by ten wonderful singers, real food for the soul.

Oldies’ coffee morning and domestic tasks for today so a nice enough day. Sympathy to Marydoll who is having a very hard time, and to all of us finding life tough. Spring will be more than welcome.

Good morning from Glasgow. Misty and drizzly, Hey ho.

I stuck to my list at Waitrose yesterday apart from a Lulu Guinness beach bag with her signature read lips on the front. A beach bag is of no use to me but DD2 who likes LG’s bags will find plenty of use for it in OZ. The bag was only £12, probably cost more to post but I know she will like it.

An at home day to fill whatever takes my mood. Always plenty to do indoors and never boring.

So sad for your friend’s young family Mizuna.

Enjoy a pleasant Friday all if possible.

Morning all from a bright and sunny West Oxfordshire.
Younger son has nearly eaten us out of house and home! I’m always first up so had to pop to the shops for a loaf of bread and some milk.
I will drive him to Oxford later to get the train back to London. I have a bit of shopping to do, including a plastic fish slice. My current one is around forty years old and the end fell off when I was making pancakes.
When I get home I have admin to do. Including booking our two cats (Milo and Ripley) in for their annual check up. They are nearly 14 (72 in human years) and seem to be doing well. A little slower and more affectionate, but aren’t we all?
Have a good day. It was sunny that day in 1997 when Labour won a landslide election🤗

Good morning Mick and all who follow. It's a bright but cloudy 7° on the Angus coast - we seem to be having rainy days alternating with bright dry days at the moment. Nothing like the warmth of Down South though - DD reported an impressive 17° on her lunchtime dog walk yesterday in Notts! Anyway, washing in and almost ready to be pegged out, with hope that it will dry outside as it did on Monday.
Tai chi went well yesterday, BUT. I was feeling delighted that the low tides this year coincide with our preferred time on Saturday mornings for our Tai Chi on the Beach sessions and was looking forward to our first foray on Easter weekend - just somewhere for coffee afterwards to sort out once I had numbers from all the different groups. Then someone pointed out that the storms this year have made access to the beaches (we have 7 miles of beaches here) virtually impossible! Some more investigation is clearly needed before I can say job done.
Jax so sorry you've hurt your knee - you'll need to take it easy for a while. So tragic about your friend's s-i-l Mizuna .
What a beautiful colour those delphiniums are Whitewave.
Glad you're feeling a bit better today Bellasnana.
And best wishes for happy cruising to Pantglas.
Now off I go to do what needs to be done - with no pressure to actually do it 😉 Have a good day everyone 🦋☀️
