Morning Mick, morning All. It seems our soggy corner of Somerset is due another deluge later. Getting concerned at the water levels now, the ground just can’t cope with more wet.

Enjoyed some respite yesterday, out came the sun for a while and out we went. Drove along the coast, a short walk and lunch. Preparation later for todays birthday get together. Delighted to receive photos of our friend smiling happily in her new room. We hope to visit later in the year.

Mr C has a birthday today, our son had his yesterday. There will be lunch for eight at our little garden centre then back here for snacks, cake and chaos.

Thank you for yesterdays cheering update urms. My love to you all. That was an eventful trip mick.

With thoughts of everyone finding life tough, hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a hospital ward in Cornwall, where they're trying to sort my cough. Can feel blissful cooling wind through the window behind me which I opened last night. I won't go into detail but I'll ask to go home this evening and recover there. It's been tricky this time. Whoever knew that in A&E there is an Ambulatory Decision Lounge? 😆 Me, having spent a whole sleepless Friday night in there. But the treatment was spot on, mostly.

A two-year wait for our allotments here Karmalady and my London friend says it's seven years near her, so you are very fortunate by the sound of it.

Today, more coughing 😉, more nice food, endless tea and biscuits, then when my son passes through later, assuming I can persuade a consultant to let me go, I'll be back in my cosy hub.

Whatever your news was Urms, if you're pleased, I'm pleased.

Good morning from a dry Bristol. At least, it’ll be until lunchtime-ish…. Still pretty chilly.
That was an interesting morning, Michael
Usual coffee morning in a cold church yesterday - being “modern” church (approx 100 years old), it heats up easily, not like the bone chilling in the 11th and 12th century churches I have been used to!
We had a group of hand bell ringers come, minus bells. Apparently, there is a set of bells in the church. I ever found out as neither the vicar nor his curate were there - with the necessary keys.
Quiet afternoon, sewing.
Church this morning, then empty. I’m on the final bits to finish the quilt I’m making. When that’s done, I want to appliqué some cushions to put on a long seat under my window recess.
Urms, I was overjoyed with your news. I shall keep praying for you and all those in need, including marydoll. Blessed Sunday to you all. Carpe diem.

Good morning, it’s too dark to see the weather, but Alexa tells me it will rain from 11am to 11 pm, we shall see.
Soups to make today and then some serious floor washing where MrOops has been treading mud everywhere.
I hope you didn’t get too cold waiting for a replacement bus Mick
Have a good day everyone, stay dry.

Good morning from a sodden s somerset, which will become more sodden today, under dark clouds.

Lots of spinning done yesterday, spinning, winding off and some now plied, 3 strands together. Takes me a long time but it is nice and zen and purposeful. I will make some skeins later today. I had 600g of fluff and still have about 180g to spin

My hip/lower back is feeling the lack of walking/cycling this winter. I hope I get an allotment soon, that always helps keep me mobile, especially as it is up a hill and I can get there easily on my bike

Mick, good driver,very aware and on the ball

Have a good day

Good Morning Everyone,
Dark,dry and cold here in brackley at the moment.
Yesterday , turned out to be different as to bus travel , did my normal in Bicester , returning home on the bus abut 5 miles or so from home , smoke started to appear from the engine at the back of the bus , we pulled into a layby , the driver did the usual calls etc as to a breakdown , 2 fire tenders turned up as well, anyway it was resolved and travelled home a hour late than normal , followed by the bus mechanic, the bus stop I use was packed but with an hourly service the next service was packed .
Today apart from watching cycling on TV and having lunch a quiet day .
Take Care,
Mick
