Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark and its raining here in brackley at the moment .
Today my usual morning excursion on the bus to Bicester , coffee , followed by some shopping and see people I know.
This afternoon will be at home watching TV , what was surprising yesterday was seeing a coach from the people I go on day trips with On TV news , as they were taking people to Fenny Compton about 15-20 miles from here for the postmasters debate.
Take Care,
Mick

I'm not a GM poster but I do read through the posts here sometimes. I just wanted to pass on my sympathy to Whitewave on the loss of your dog, he looked a lovely little chap and was obviously a well loved member of your family, I'm sure he enjoyed a lovely life with you and that's the best thing anyone can do for their animal.flowers

A bright and breezy Good Morning from Co Armagh
I opened the blinds this morning and got back into bed ! If I don’t open the blinds the neighbours accross the street get anxious 🙄 I read the Good Morning thread in bed most mornings and add my few words ( when I remember ) after my breakfast
I’ve seedlings to pot on today , my Cucumbers are looking a bit too leggy , but I do like to watch them grow so I’ll pot them deeply a fingers crossed, I’ll get a good harvest , I grow the short varieties
Hoping for ☀️ and happy things for us all today

Marydoll glad you enjoyed your day, another smaller castle is Doune Castle bits of Outlander were filmed there. Really need a car to go there though!

A late good morning from Malta where it’s hot and sunny.

The boys turn 2 today so I have just taken them out to the park to enjoy the good weather. Both still coughing but a lot better than yesterday thank goodness.

WWM condolences. It’s the hardest part of having a pet that their lives are too short compared with ours.😞

Good morning from East Lothian where it is raining steadily. I woke up to news that there is flooding back home in West Sussex (not in our immediate area).

We had a family outing yesterday to Newhailes House, a National Trust for Scotland property. It is over 300 years old and was the residence of one of Scotland’s top families of lawyers and judges. Our tour guide was very interesting and informative and even our teenage DGSs had their attention held.

I managed a bit of gardening at DDs yesterday evening before the rain started - a rose bush is to be transferred from its pot to a now empty spot in a border.

So sorry to hear about Duncan, Whitewavemark 💐

Hope a few restful days will restore your mojo, Grandmattie.

So glad the castle trip went well, Marydoll. I’d love to have been eavesdropping near you on that train!

Safe journey, Stilllearning.

I’m undecided on how to spend the day. DGSs will be on a sailing course from tomorrow until Friday so it would be lovely to see something of them today. They should be revising for the exams but I suspect computer games will be played for much of the day. I will see if DD needs anything doing (hopefully not ironing).

Whitewavemark2 - So very sorry on your sad loss. Always so very sad to lose a best friend.

Good morning from a very wet and dismal East Midlands. I am so down in the dumps today and have to give myself a big shake. Hubby really hurt my feelings last night and I cannot shake it off. Fed up.

So sorry for your loss, WWM2

Good morning Mick and all from a foul windy 8°C northwest coast.
Yesterday I took a lot of stuff to the charity shop but came away with brand new brown Roman style sandals…
Today I’m ‘hosting’ the music club, so will have a practice warble and must remember everyone’s names. There’s a particular chap I have misnamed from the start.
Thoughts to WWM2💐

RosiesMaw I saw the Motive and the Cue last night, as you say, Gatliss was so good. I couldn’t catch everything Johnny Flynn said, but both difficult roles.
