Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and it's been raining. It's fairly bright at the moment. Ash I love Jerusalem, both the words and the music. Pantglas have a lovely day. It sounds nice.
I had such a good weekend with dgs1. We had fun. Yesterday afternoon I visited mum and it took her a while to recognise me which was sad.
Today is early childcare day. I'm off shortly to get the boys. I'm hoping it stays dry so dgs2 and I can get out in the garden. Dgs1 has been told not to run about at nursery so his leg can heal. I'll advise the staff but don't hold out much hope of that happening. Fish pie(freezer) for dinner. Dgs2 will have lentil soup for lunch. Woe betide I give him something else!😂 Have a good day all.

Good morning from Adventure, docked in Piraeus; almost 8am here. Brilliant sunshine 🌞outside and a very warm day ahead.

Yesterday we were anchored off Hydra; I decided not to go ashore as I do not like tenders at the best of times, and it looked a bit choppy with a slight swell.

Enjoyed my stay on board, and could admire Hydra from the ship. Got a lot of reading done!
Mid afternoon I visited the hairdresser and was very pleased with my cut and re-style.

Had dinner and drinks with new friends, and then went to the crew cabaret - half a dozen talented singers who entertained us wonderfully.

I am on a panoramic coach tour of Athens later this morning, and looking forward to my first view of the Acropolis.

Have a good Monday everyone.

Good morning from yet another grey day in Bristol. Will this dreary weather ever change?
I had a surprise this morning, being required to sign in to GN again! Why?
Yesterday was quiet. In the announcements at church, my piccalilli was mentioned. It sells very well. What astonished me is that people have to be begged to give me empty jars. I had my last login Kent well trained!
A quiet afternoon, sorting through leftover patchwork squares to make a quilt as prize in one of the church raffles. I think my mojo is slowly coming back.
Today. I shall go to the library after toddler group. It is a good 20 minute walk from here. I’m returning a book which is well worth reading. A dramatised biography, “the librarian of auschwitz” is well worth a read; not a bundle of fun but worth it.
Hope today brings happiness to all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

And hola 👋 from me too in 🇪🇸 Mick where we’re promised another dry day but rain later this evening which is fine as I got two loads of washing dried on the terrace yesterday 🌞

Lovely photos yesterday from GG and Blue S on her cruise, with Liberty joining the cruising fraternity soon - what fun🍹!

I’m off to a Babes wot Brunch at a local bar with Pimms and Picnic and a singer to entertain us 🕺🏻 while the menfolk meet up for a beer and we join them later!

Will pop back this evening to read of all your bizzinesses 😉

Good morning from a dry but, instead of rain, we are promised a windy day but at least it’s from the South West which should be less biting than the recent East wind!

Yesterday at church, as we are in an interregnum, we had a visiting, retired cleric from Exeter, whose sermon was short but gave food for thought. Since Jerusalem was one of the hymns, I was relieved that I wasn’t on the rota to be the accompanist for the early service!

Bon voyage to Liberty! I wonder if your trip includes a visit to the Keukenhof Gardens, which I’d love to see. 🌷We were due to take a cruise that included them but it was cancelled. It was in the Spring of 2020. Need I say more?! ☹️

I hope those in pain of any kind find comfort this week and safe passage to all travellers. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
