Good morning from a very windy, damp Cornwall. Exciting weather. There should be some splendid seas crashing in today so I'll get the bus to the sea front and watch the waves. The gulls are squabbling above my head but the resident pair ignore me when I'm on my patio even though they're only six feet away.

I'm bursting with energy so had better get dressed and get out and about! Enjoy Weston Mick.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It isn't raining!

I was quite unwell yesterday but after a day of doing nothing and a codeine induced sleep last night, I am feeling a bit better now. I sympathise with the cough jax

I hope the roofer appears today. The leak is very bad.

Your coach trip sounds fun Mick
I hope you have a better day gMattie and you too
Baubles although it sounds like the DGC are a tonic.

Enjoy your cream tea Ash
I hope the day goes well for everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it’s another sunny day with a high of 27°C forecast.

Enjoyed my few hours with the boys yesterday. They cheer me up so much.

No big plans today.

Enjoy your day out Mick, hope the rain stays away for you.

Best wishes to all for a good Saturday.☀️

Good morning, most of the forecast bad weather should miss us today, but I dare say we will get some rain.

My first day of feeling better yesterday, although I slept until 10.30! But I got a lot of housework and washing done, so good not to feel dizzy all of the time.

An easy day today, dog is here until this afternoon so we will very likely have a wet and muddy walk this morning. As she gets older she is more reluctant to go for a walk if it’s wet, she would rather sit in the garden under the hedge and watch out for the rabbits.

Have a good day Mick we haven’t been to Weston-Super -mare since our very wet honeymoon, I dare say it’s changed after 53 yrs!

Hope all GNs who feel unwell get better soon and have a good day.

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset is forecast a largely dry if windy day.

Enjoyed Tai Chi yesterday, fewer people than usual which allowed the instructor a good view of me sitting, she was concerned, no need, I was OK, just wobbly legs.

Not sure what today will bring. Even less sleep than normal for me, only 3 hours. I’ve rested lying here reading.

Perhaps a long journey and insufficient sleep caught up with you grandmattie. Pleased you feel better. Enjoy Weston Mick. A regretful goodbye today ash although the cream tea sounds good.

Enjoy what you can of the day everyone.

Good morning from South Lanarkshire where, wonder of wonders, it isn’t raining. Calm before the storm methinks.

Enjoy your trip Mick.

DGD and I had a fun couple of together yesterday while the youngest napped and the middle child was out with her mother. What a difference it makes having one to one time with a child who can sometimes be a bit over excited.

I’m tired and rather sore this morning although I spent most of the day sitting.

I’ve a couple of parcels to pick up today and out bedding to change but that’s about all that needs to be done so we will just coorie in if the expected storm arrives.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness, I think it’s drizzling and damp outside
Sorry to hear you’re still coughing Jax hope it improves soon
No wonder you’ve been feeling tired gMattie I always find travelling very tiring but good that you’re feeling better today
I’m awake early for no reason so just brought a cuppa back to bed. It’ll be a quiet day here today, I’d love to get out in the garden but it’s forecast to be wet - again!
Enjoy your cream tea this afternoon Ash and the farewell get together for your PP
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from a dry and mild (14deg!) Torbay.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy your day out, Mick, and I hope it isn’t too damp.
Bad luck, regarding your cough, Jaxjacky; I hope it soon clears.
I’m sorry to hear you’ve felt unwell, grandMattie, although I imagine the journey home from your lovely holiday must have taken its toll. I hope time and rest will help you regain your equilibrium.

This afternoon, we have a farewell cream tea event at a local hotel for our parish priest who is retiring after this weekend. He will be greatly missed as he’s a wonderful pastoral leader besides preaching excellent sermons.

Wishing you all a good weekend. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, windy and mostly dry today. 17 degrees outside at 5am

Saturday and a change of pace, the weekend always needs to be the weekend and involves change of pace and activity for me. It is too windy with mucky lanes here, so no bike riding but I will walk into town, buy myself a treat or two and wonder around the two charity shops, chatting as I go

I could go visiting by car but the wind could bring trees down as they are in leaf and the soil is very wet and loose. It is definitely a stay-local day for me today and maybe I will buy a newspaper

Have a good day

Good morning from a damp Bristol.
jax, I’m sorry about your cough, hope it settles down; Mick enjoy your day out. Never been to Weston, perhaps I should go soon…
I spent most of yesterday asleep as I felt really unwell, nothing I could put my finger on…. Got up for dinner of cheese and biscuits as although I had a very nice soup, I didn’t feel like anything.
I feel a great deal better today, so shall see how it pans out.
Have a good weekend ; Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick, I think it’s dry here in S Hants, coughing has me up at this hour, I hope you have a lovely trip to Weston, a favourite place.
Newspaper today, my weekly treat, some washing to do, bathroom cleaning, sport to watch this afternoon.

Good Morning Everyone,
Up early its dark but dry outside here in brackley at the moment.
Busy start to the day once breakfasted will get ready for the coach trip to Weston -S -Mare .
The coach journey starts at brackley with pick ups to Moreton in Marsh ,then onto a service stop at Gloucester services , prior to Weston.
Forecast I gather could be changeable so as its early season will try and get as much shelter if it rains allot .
Take Care,
Mick
