Morning all, my phone tells me that it’s 9 and partly cloudy outside.

We are going to our friends house today for a garden party (will be inside if the weather is bad) Lots of catching up with friends we haven’t seen since pre-Covid.

Enjoy your Sunday folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from foggy Colchester. The sun is breaking through and 17° is forecast.
Nothing planned except roast beef later.
I bought some British asparagus in Aldi. You now get the right portion for 2 people due to shrinkflation.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning from a gloriously sunny south Glos hillside, a beautiful start to the day 🌞
Yesterday I was busy, I had 80 plug plants to pot up, a mini greenhouse to construct, lots of bits of gardening and I made a shepherds pie and a lemon cheesecake as well as getting all the washing dried outside. Very satisfying but I was whacked by mid afternoon!
Today I have two roses to pot up and two climbing roses to plant. Then I will do a roast dinner before dd returns home this afternoon.
Have a lovely Sunday 🌹

Good morning from dull skies in s somerset and needless to say, rain is coming

I was so inspired to be busy yesterday, indoors and then outside, even tending to the communal paved area. The turning area and road, had been made filthy by big earth-moving machines and never cleaned by the builder. Lots of physical hard work from early to dusk for me and it was jiggering but what a satisfying day

I had to decide between bike ride or work and thought I should take advantage of my work mojo yesterday and do my ride today but these rain clouds roll in from no-where. I don`t need to think of exercise anyway after yesterday, so it will be relaxing indoor stuff today, the nice stuff

Have a good day

Good morning from a bright South Downs. Yesterday I moved into the shade as I got too hot sitting in the sun!🌞

I’ve planted out all but 2 of the dahlias. They are all except 1 the single or double variety - well what I mean is that they are all brilliant for pollinators. I am hoping for a riot of clashing colour in a particular area in the garden.

I now have 2 salvia amstrad to plant - not sure where though - running out of room!

Picked the last of the overwintering cabbages yesterday for supper. Other stuff now coming on, but a bit of a gap because the mice played fast and loose and ate so many seedlings. Still they are getting their comeuppance and are being transported to a safe environment along with seed to keep them going whilst they find their feet. DH reckons they then race me back.

I shall rest more than work today, as energy levels are low - just need to build it back up.

Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony to our world.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a sunny South Yorkshire - and it’s not windy! Could it be time to bring the garden chairs out of the garage I wonder? DS came down and I had an hour with him before he went to the football and then a few hours after the match before he went home. When the season ends I might get to see a bit more of him! I spent most of yesterday afternoon making a chicken curry for today. Making it from scratch is very time consuming but rather therapeutic. We will eat it when DD and the menfolk come round later. I may get some gardening done in the meantime.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Malta where it’s a beautiful sunny day. The weather is due to change mid-week so I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

Mass at 11.30, after which my usual FaceTime with my friend in Leicester, then the Men’s Final at 6.30 pm. Nothing else planned, will see how I feel.

Glad you had a good day yesterday GM, and great news that your DS will be with you soon.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning everyone from Adventure, as we tie up in Malaga, 7.45am here, and a bright sunny day. Having a bit of a lie in as my included tour is not until 10.45, so it will be a leisurely breakfast, albeit a small one as I see there is a curry lunch today!

Had a lazy sea day yesterday, which involved lots of sitting in the sun and reading. I have just finished my third book, and am now re-reading a collection of Somerset Maugham short stories which I love.
I also treated myself to a necklace from the on board shop - it was a bargain and I was pleased with the price.

Dinner was spent with new friends in the Supper Club, followed by an evening of dancing to 60s music.

Wishing all a pleasant Sunday. Great news for you, grandMattie! And Mick, hope you enjoy your Jersey Royals!

Good morning all you early risers! It's looking rather damp at the moment here in Lancashire, but I have no plans so I'm not really bothered.

Good morning from a dreary, damp Torbay.

I’m glad your one year anniversary of moving celebrations went to plan, grandMattie. I bet you slept well last night!

Early service then sorting out items for our forthcoming UK cruise (Belfast, Stornaway and Lerwick). I’ll give a wave to our N.Irish and Scottish grans!

Safe journeys to those on the move and I hope those who are unwell see brighter skies today.

Wishing everyone a blessed Sunday. 🦩💐✝️🥰🦩

Good morning from a bright, sunny Bristol. I hope it lasts all day!
I had great news yesterday. DS has a ticket to come over on 24 May! He’ll spend all of June and most of July here. So looking forward to see him.
Had a very busy day yesterday with the church coffee and chat, DD and family to lunch, then the neighbours coming over for tea. I was given flowers and chocolates, both very welcome and kind of the donors. I think the DGDs enjoyed themselves.
I was pooped by the end and had a quiet evening.
Today, just church then the rest of the day spent puzzling how to decorate those tutus.
Have a great long weekend and hope you have peace in you4 lives. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
