Good Morning Saturday 17th February 2024

Good morning from Cornwall where it's calm and dry and quiet. Took a bus to Porthleven yesterday and sat by the harbour wall as if I was on holiday. Today my six-year-old grandson is coming to do woodworking or whatever in my workroom and I'll take him home by bus afterwards.

My daughter is coming to stay for her and her brother's birthdays, three days apart, in a couple of weeks so I must start to make my flat blind-friendly for her. It will be a treat to spend time with her.

Good morning from a mild Colchester. Biblical rain is forecast for later.
We had a great time yesterday catching up with old friends. I've promised to dig out some photos so that'll occupy some time.
I need to walk into the City to the Evri drop off shop as DS is selling stuff on eBay but he's not at home to post it...Mum to the rescue.
Otherwise it's catching up with laundry and making a beef casserole for tonight.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning, more rain later but ok for a few hours in s somerset

I need to look at my shopping list on alexa later, to see if there is anything urgent. Otherwise I will carry on with bumbling along today. Sewing, spinning, some basic cleaning and not to forget the reading.

I have started to use my wooden rocking chair more, it was new and a present to me but I never used it enough. I have fixed a cushion on the base and back and I used it last evening. It worked, kept my lower back and hips moving and stopped any ache before it started

My coat is coming together a treat, hood with grommets assembled yesterday. Two part sleeves today. Slow and steady sewing, speed turned down and using a jeans needle

Have a good day

Good morning from Malta where it’s a cloudy 12°C at present but will reach 18°C later.

I feel quite decadent being still in bed as I’ve usually been up for four hours at this time!

I was up late watching tennis, first from Rotterdam and then from Buenos Aires. Good matches so worth the late night.

Today I plan to clean the windows and then tackle the rest of the decluttering and cleaning. Not my favourite task but it needs doing.

Will have to pop out to buy dog food or my poor Buzz will go hungry. He’s a rather large rescue dog from Sicily and loves his food.

You all sound very busy with one thing and another so I hope you have a good weekend.☀️

Good morning from a mild Torbay with rain likely this afternoon.

You did well yesterday on so little sleep, RosesandLilac!
Your surprise lunch with your family turned into a good day, grandMattie.
I hope you are able to enjoy a Chinese meal, Mick.
Safe journey, Susan56 and I hope the family gathering goes well.

We plan to attend a quiz at church this afternoon then an evening at our theatre for a Lionel Richie tribute concert, which should be good. My Move It Or Lose It teacher is the compère.

Take care, everyone. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from Shropshire where rain is forecast all day.

An early start after a disturbed nights sleep.I need to be at DD’s by 9 with the children then we are going up to the Lancashire/Yorkshire border for a family gathering.Luckily DD is driving.DH has decided to have a day at home as his knee is troubling him and he doesn’t fancy sitting in the car for hours.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Good morning from a still dark Bristol. I’ve no idea what the weather is like as I haven’t looked out. I think we are predicted very heavy rain this evening.
I had a busy morning doing this and that, laundry, cleaning, etc.
I had a surprise text from DD inviting me to lunch in the nearby village. Iris had a gymkhana with RDA and they were coming back this way…. It was delightful and we had a delicious lunch. I’m always slightly nervous ordering meat as they are all veggies, but I did this time.
DD, Iris and I came home while DGD and her dad trawled the local charity shops. Like the other granny, they are dedicated bargain hunters. I find them dreadfully depressing for some reason.
DD and I set about digging a hole in a tiny little useless, unused grassed area under my kitchen window, to plant my Christmas dwarf plum tree. It’s a Merryweather, which I think is a damson…. We planted spent daffodil bulbs and Muscari round the bottom. I hope it does well there.
It was quite late by the time they left, so I just made myself the promised leek gratin for dinner and pootled for the rest of the evening.
Just church coffee this morning. I’ll probably sew this afternoon.
I hope today brings comfort and joy to you all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, it’s a damp start here in south Glos, rainy weekend is forecast.
Yesterday I sorted through the contents of the airing cupboard, including all my cleaning supplies and far too much bath and shower gels. I will donate some to the women’s refuge that I support.
Then I did 3 loads of washing and tidied the kitchen, including my cupboard of storage tubs/lids. By lunchtime I was tired, having been awake since 2am.
I did do more sock knitting, I should finish the second one this weekend.
Today I will put everything back in the landing cupboard and then enjoy a few hours drawing I think.
Have a lovely weekend 🌹
