Good morning from Durham. It rained overnight, so everywhere is sopping.
Shocking news from a friend yesterday - her youngest AC is in trouble - his fault.
Is it this week you have more tests Ash? Your reaction is understandable.
I’m meeting a friend at a local garden centre this morning then chiropodist in the afternoon.
Best wishes to all.X

Good morning from s somerset, the rain has been battering the windows all night and woke me up. It is very windy and not nice

I am at the in/out stage with my seedling babies, it needs to get to 10 degrees before I put them into my small cold greenhouse. They are looking very sturdy.

Some more of `whatever` today, I am expecting parcels so it will be pottering, knitting and reading

Have a good day

A dawn good morning from me today. The threatened downpour doesn’t seem to have started yet in my bit of South Lanarkshire so I do hope it holds off till I have boarded my bus to Glasgow en route to visit my sister in Aberdeen, if I can make it to the bus stop I’m undercover for the rest of the way.
I’ve been so afraid of sleeping in I’ve been awake for half the night so will probably snooze anyway.

I enjoyed returning to chair yoga yesterday but found it quite demanding after a break. I have a little bit of ‘whiplash’ pain from a sudden swerve in a friend’s car , a bit ironic after giving up driving myself!
The lovely instructor has shown me some gentle movements to practice so hopefully that and heat will help.

Needless to say, after drinking the cup of tea I brought back to bed, I could now slide down and sleep so I had better get into the shower and start the day

Wishing everyone the best day possible and sending kind thoughts to those who need them.

Good morning from a damp, breezy Torbay.

Mick: Apparently, visitors to Fenny Compton take selfies outside the village hall ever since the Mr. Bates series. I’m glad the BBC is keeping this shocking story alive and hope the perpetrators of the shocking affair will be brought to justice.

grandMattie: it’s not surprising you’ve lost some of your usual zest for life, given what you've been through. I hope you pick up soon.

Unlike Pantglas2 and Greyduster, I've had the best night's sleep in over a week! Sheer exhaustion, I think, as I haven’t slept well since being told I mustn’t drive. The reality has hit me hard. Today I’m having a lift to Props from one of the other team members.

Cats seem to have some kind of instinct for finding warm places, don’t they, Greyduster?

I hope we can all find a reason to smile today. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from a very wet and windy east coast of Fife. (I’ve already posted ) but lost the post my 2 friends of old are visiting me today we used to ski together and we had such great fun - that’s me on the left

My friends keep warm and safe

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Still dark in South Yorkshire and I have been awake since just after three. I shall be asleep on my feet by lunchtime no doubt. I think we are in for a wet day. Yesterday I went to our Botanical Gardens and the sun came out fleetingly! Nothing much was flowering but it was a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon. The gardens has a resident cat - he’s usually to be found sunning himself in the long border but yesterday he had decided that he needed a more tropical environment so he was lounging around in the Paxton Pavillion. Sensible chap!
Have the best day you can, folks.

Oh, pant, I absolutely love the idea of “fridge bottom soup”! DH was used to “eccentric meals” but never that… 😂

Good morning from a very rough north Wales coast where the dratted 💨 woke me at 4am 🤬 - I made use of the chamberpot a lot earlier than planned and no doubt will flake out this afternoon to compensate!

Emptying the garage freezer later and switching it off so some odd meals coming up at PG Towers along with fridge bottom soup 🍜 and some freshly baked bread 🍞- gosh I know how to spoil that man of mine 😉

Hope this foul weather hasn’t affected anyone too badly and all are able to attend appointments and jollies accordingly 🤞

Good mor from a wee Bristol.
I hope the rain eases off as I would like to restart going to my outdoor tai chi classes; not having a car, I walk for half an hour to get there. I gave up over winter as I get too cold.
I was dozing yesterday (feeling very tired again) when my phone woke me up. It was the police with an extremely voluble policewoman asking me for extra information regarding the scammers email dates. It probably won’t help me but may stop other people being caught.
Today, t’ai chi probably and not much else. I seem to have lost my mojo. Hope it returns soon, unharmed!
Have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

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
