Good Morning Monday 15th April 2024

Happy birthday to Gala 🍹🎂

Happy Birthday Gala 🎉🎂

Good morning from a grey Cambridgeshire. Happy Birthday GM 🎂🥳 It would have been my grandad’s birthday today. April is full of family birthdays. It looks like rain will spoil play today I had a walk planned with a friend and DH cycling with a friend. Oh well coffee shop and pub respectively 😂. We then have the usual Monday mayhem of school pick up, gym and dance class runs and a meal to prepare for DGD2 and DGS2 squeezed in between classes. Around 7.30 pm all will be peaceful again

Happy Monday to all💐

Happy birthday, gala 🥂🎂

Good morning all. The sun is attempting to shine through a watery sky here in South Lanarkshire.

Happy birthday gM and Gala.

I’m going to do my shift at the charity shop this morning after three weeks off. I’ll be taking it easy and will be super careful with my back, I’d hate to have to give it up.

Have the best day possible everyone.

And a Happy Birthday to you Gala 🎉🎂🥂.

Good morning everyone from a very wet Northampton, such a pity after the lovely sunshine of the last few days. I intended putting the bedding out on the line, but not today! Will still change the bed though and do the bedding tomorrow.

Spent yesterday afternoon in the garden, cut the front grass, cut back a poorly climbing hydrangea, and finished the lawn edging at the back; also got two loads of washing done. Dropped my keys off at my lovely neighbour's, and then he presented me with a card for my birthday later this week.

Will need to round the cats up at lunchtime and get them in their carriers ready for collection to go to the cattery. One of them is a little rascal and will try and hide!

Happy birthday grandMattie!

May we all have a good day.

Good morning from the Essex coast where it is dry but windy.
Happy Birthday to GM and Gala.
Have a good day everyone xx

Morning from a cooler, damp S Hants.
Happy Birthday gMattie 🎂🎉.
Our en-suite is being ripped out today, so it’ll be noisy and dusty, may nip out for coffee later as the water will be off for a while.
Voluntary phones and quiz tonight.

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Happy Birthday to gM and Gala
Happy day with DB yesterday, we had a walk and a good lunch. Today is the cleaner this morning and a walk later.
Best wishes to all especially those attending medical appointments

Good morning from a bright Suffolk. I must be late up as there are lots of posts ahead of mine. I haven’t read them yet but they look,from a quick glance,full of busyness yesterday and today.

I’m off to Ipswich to meet a friend and another on the train to celebrate a birthday with lunch at an excellent fish restaurant. We are planning coffee first,then a celebratory glass of fizz before lunch which will be accompanied by wine.

Hope today is a good one for all.

🎂🥂Gala

Good morning from Sefton. Weather is back to normal here - wet, windy & cold. ☹️
Had a good mooch round M&S & JL yesterday & a nice lunch. But had to wait 1/2 for the train as we forgot it was Sunday service. Another 1/2 wait on our return as DH's watch was slow & we just missed the train. Sigh. Singing this morning & a hair appointment this afternoon.
Happy birthday gMattie. My birthday also today, I am 75. (Shock, horror!) I had a lovely family lunch on Saturday & a 'day out' in town yesterday - a rare occurrence. It has been a pleasant weekend.
Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from Severnside.

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Mattie 🎉🎂

Thank you for the sunshine over the weekend Pant. I was able to do a lot of weeding.

Have a good day all. Back to these I’m afraid ☔️

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cloudy just now and we’ve a forecast of sun and showers for later
A very happy birthday gMattie I hope you enjoy your special day 🎂🎉💐
I’ve got to go out for some food shopping this morning but nothing much else planned, will see what the day brings
Hoping all goes ok with the x ray grammaretto and the health check greyduster
Safe travels home Ash and Gingster and everybody else on the move today
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a very wet, grey, windy South Yorkshire. Yesterday a lovely family meal and nice to have it light enough for DD and I to have a walk after tea.
I have an annual health check at the surgery this morning, followed by a hair cut, then pick up some fence paint I ordered on line.
A very happy birthday Grandmattie💐🎂
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Lots of rain overnight!
I’m expecting the roofer this morning to put the lead work on the new door surround and the two bay windows. I hope it’s dry enough and the expected high winds don’t disrupt the job.
I’m not sure what I’ll do apart from a bit of ironing.
Happy birthday grandMattie. I hope you have a lovely day.

Good morning from Durham. After heavy rain overnight, it’s dry now. Don’t think it’ll last.
Usual morning coffee with a friend and hoping another joins us. She’s having a family crisis and found it helpful to offload last week - it’s far from solved.
Happy Birthday gM 🥂🎂
Hoping all appointments go well today, medical or not.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from a wet and windy Black country.
Happy birthday grandMattie have a lovely day, glad your glasses were found🎂🎉.
If the rain stops will wander round charity shop found a few bits in garage that can go, bike that's to small for the boys and a few other garden bits no longer required.
Safe travels those on the move, enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning all and the weather here has changed, yet , here on the Suffolk coast.

We were very lucky at the weekend with beautiful warm sun , no rain or wind . Both boys arrived Friday evening and worked hard all day Saturday and half of Sunday. Painting the large summerhouse, sheds and mowing the lawns with only ‘pushers’ as our sit upon has broken down. They cleared encroaching tall weeds and scythed down the steps to the beach. They had a dip in the sea (🥶) and then we had a delicious carvery at our local.

We were shattered after they left and I had a nap in the summerhouse while Dh watched the ladies football.

We are returning to Essex today (always windy when we go over the Orwell Bridge ) 🫣.

We’ll be back in a couple of weeks as the mower has to be picked up and repaired. Also our old MG (same age as me) has to go in to have things done to it. .

Happy birthday GM. Have a lovely day 👑.
Safe journey home Ash
Enjoy the sunshine Pants
Good luck at the dentist Bellasnanna .🤞.

Take care all 🌷

Good morning all from the wet Scottish Borders. The dehumidifier's tank is full again and no chance of the roofer coming back today.

I was treated to a wonderful concert by the Edinburgh youth orchestra yesterday. DGD #3 plays the flute.
beautifully

We watched Wonka at the community cinema last night. A nice gentle film unlike the dark humour of Roald Dahl on which it's based.

Today I have a chest X-ray in Edinburgh so lots of bus journeys.

Happy birthday to grandMattie
Enjoy your dinner party.

For those on holiday, continue to enjoy and get well soon all those who are poorly.

Good morning from a breezy Colchester. Cloudy, damp and 11° is today's forecast. 10 degrees cooler than Saturday!
After being out in the chilly wind most of yesterday I am mostly indoors today. Usual Monday house reset after DS returns to base. Back to drying laundry indoors though.

Happy Birthday GM 🥳 and love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow, where it is 5°C .

Birthday greetings, GM.🎂🎁🎈🎉 It is good to see you settling into your home and making friends.

I have had a particularly bad night, due pain. However, DH is doing the school run and Dollie is coming for breakfast. She is of course, expecting home made Scotch pancakes, 😊
I may be making them in my pyjamas, I am so weary!
Papa has drawn the short straw. The road to the school has been closed due to major road works, so they have quite a trek and parking in surrounding streets prohibited. I forsee acomplaints about very tired, wee legs! 😂

Yesterday, I drove to Mass as that Mmass is very busy and parking at a premium, but being a local parish worthy 😉, I have a parking space at the presbytery..
I gave DH my keys to go and wait for me, as I had a couple of tasks to do at the end of Mass. I got to the car and he was nowhere to be seen. I eventually tracked him down at the parish coffee morning, sitting with Dollie and her parents.
He has never been to a coffee morning in his entire life! 😂
An elderly parishioner called me over to say that they had been wondering, who that strange man was and then eventually realised it was Mr MD. 😂
DH frequents Saturday Vigil Mass, and the Sunday parishioners never see him with me. I'm sure they thought I was a single granny! 😂

Pants I'm jealous!💚 Enjoy!

Enjoy your day, folks!

Very wet here in Co Durham.
Happy Birthday, grandMattie have a lovely day.
Last quiet day, back to walking dgd to school tomorrow. Just as well, as I’ve not been out of the house since last Tuesday!!
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

Good morning from Shropshire.After yesterdays lovely sunny day we are back to sunshine and showers.

Yesterday we met DD and SIL at Ironbridge to return DGS1.We had an explore and then they treated us to coffee and cake before I drove the new car home.The joy of an automatic car!

Today is a quiet day at home I hope.

Happy birthday grandMattie🥳

Hope the boys are good for you Grandmabatty and you aren’t too tired at the end of the day.

Good luck with the dental appointment Bellasnanna.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩
