Good Morning Saturday 17th February 2024

DS is due to arrive by lunch time so must make sure domestic organisation is up to scratch. I look forward to an intellectually energetic 24 hours and need to be on form. Dry and bright weather wise though heavy rain predicted for later in the day so must make the most of the chance to potter outside for a little.

Good morning from a dry NE where it is fairly mild.
Didn't do much yesterday just hoovered all of the upstairs.
Had a lazy dinner, a pizza but had a bowl of salad with it.
This afternoon my sister and BIL will visit and they will have my undivided attention as DS is not coming.
DS, DIL and GD2 are going to the Bill Bailey concert in Newcastle. They will probably turn up for dinner tomorrow but have not had confirmation yet.

Have a good weekend.

Good morning from a sunny Suffolk but rain is forecast later. Apart from a Waitrose delivery later the day is ours to do as we please.

Ithink we will go to the common a few miles away for the morning dog walk which always involves coffee and cake in the dog friendly cafe “Paws for tea”. Treats are always given to dogs when drinks arrive.

Everything is flourishing in the garden which is delightful. As well as the best display of snowdrops for a few years,primroses and daffodils are in flower in sheltered parts. Such a pleasure to see.

Good morning from a dry Durham - I could get used to it.
I’m taking Little Dog and DD2s laundry back later, then we’ll take DGS2 somewhere, while his Daddy’s at the football match.
When I shop, our supermarkets are heaving Mick
Wonderful stuff Metacam WW2, I often wonder if it would work on humans!
Enjoy the weekend
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning Mick and all from a damp northwest coast.
Art yesterday then a quiet afternoon, FaceTime with flying DD in India who had been to the Taj Mahal and then started watching The Gilded Age, I like anything produced by Julian Fellowes.

I had an early night as I have been so tired recently and hopefully some early nights will help. My new fleece duvet set is very cosy, but does get rather hot.
As always, thoughts to all with troubles🌺

A late good morning from a cloudy but dry Northampton, Tony Blackburn's Sounds of the Sixties playing on Alexa as I write.

Had two good dance classes yesterday then went for coffee afterwards and called in at the paper shop to pay my bill.
Moved the empty freezer in the garage to make room for the new one which arrives on Tuesday; also moved the larder fridge to a new position; the new freezer will then sit nicely next to it.

Had a pleasant evening at my recently bereaved neighbour 's; he had invited all of us in our little close for drinks to celebrate his late wife's life. It was a lovely thing to do. (I fear I drank too much wine.....)

A bus trip to the shops later this morning to pick up a few things for the weekend and have a coffee and a bite to eat.

All your plans for today sound great, so hope all goes well!

Good morning from a very grey East Midlands. First day out after operation and it is going to be a bit strange. Just a ride out in the car with my youngest son. Takeaway for tea tonight.

Good morning from another sunny day in Oxfordshire, we’ve been really lucky with the sunshine, hopefully it will dry up our squelchy lawn so that I can get the mower out, although it’s a bit early.
I cleared my potting shed out yesterday, some things I need to clean, copper pans etc. then sell, not sure why they were in the potting shed. Also a lovely old Singer Sewing machine which I’m loathe to part with as it has all the attachments, including a ruffle foot, not likely to ever use it, but I can’t even lift it, so it will go to the Charity shop. MrOops will have to deliver it.
The oil tank chaps went off with the keys to the lock so they should arrive today, they can also collect their tools that they left!
Most GNs seem to have exciting things going on, I’m just house clearing ready to move!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone. Just a quick hello/farewell from me today as I'm so late getting going today after a very restless night's sleep. When I first looked at the day it was foggy, then it was bright and sunny, now it's grey and cloudy. Rain's on the way methinks. It feels very mild.
Before it comes I think I'll pop down to the beach and have a look at access for our proposed tai chi on the beach event. Coastal erosion has been very bad here this winter so I'm not sure what I'll find.
Apart from that just a day of pottering around home - always pleasant.
Enjoy your day everyone, and I'll come back later and read your posts x
