Good Morning Everyone,
Woken to clear blues skies over brackley this morning.
My usual routine bus to Bicester also to do some sort out as like many have lost there Banks .
Return watch cycling followed by a Chinese Take Away , health wise slight improvements in comparison to this last year.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 7°. We have great weather forecast for First Communion Day, thank goodness!
Great news GM!
I have been awake since 5am, despite having had a very busy and stressful day yesterday.
An hour at church turned into four hours. A member of staff from one of the schools had been dispatched to put the children and family names on the seats.
She produced a bag of crumpled ribbons and tulle bows for the pew ends, which she had been given and did not have the necessary tools. I ended up giving her Blu Tak etc. from my stash, spent an hour ironing the ribbons and helping her.
I felt so sorry for her, especially as the two management members from both schools were nowhere to be seen.
After she left, the young sacristan and I were doing a check that all was well, when I realised the staff member had got all the seating wrong and even worse, the management had also miscounted where the short rows were. They had put twelve adults in each short row, which can only hold eight at a tight squeeze. It would have been carnage- chaos this morning.
I could have wept. The P.P appeared and nearly blew a gasket, when we told him.
Since they didn't respond to his calls, we ended up having to rearrange things.
These are the young women, who thought I was an interfering old biddy and refused any help or advice, because they knew what they were doing!.
This morning should be interesting.
My lovely DH was so understanding when I strolled in last night, having taken the initiative and organised dinner (despite it not being his forte). He had even raided the freezer, a place he refuses to venture into. 
After a late dinner, I still had to email the bulletin to parishioners and upload it on the website.
Just before bed, I noticed my inbox was full of messages, alerting me to the fact that there was a glaring error in it. I do not produce it, but I was getting all the stick from parishioners! 
.
One email was particularly rude, thankfully I had only had one glass of wine, or I would have been very blunt honest about how I felt!
My biggest dilemma this morning is whether I should change what I am wearing. It rains most years on First Communion Day and my outfit had been planned with this in mind. I wasn't expecting a scorcher!!! 🤣
A third world problem indeed!
For those struggling, I send my best wishes. For those holidaying, have a great time.
Good morning on a bright sunny one as we sail into Lerwick.
Yesterday’s weather was mixed on Lewis although it brightened up in the afternoon. Our trip to see a broch was not the best, mainly due to a less than adequate tour guide. In Belfast, our guide was warm, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. Yesterday’s sounded like she was reading from notes but left us with more questions than answers! We did learn much about cutting peat, though!! However, I was pleased to find I was able to climb the rocky path to see the view from the broch, helped by using walking poles and by DH’s encouragement.
Here are a couple of photos of cats at Belfast Castle especially for JaxJacky! No, I didn’t have time to find all nine!
We didn’t see the Aurora last night, sadly. Brilliant photos, RosesandLilac.
Have a good weekend!
Good morning from sunny Spain, I’ll try to sit out before the breeze picks up. Sun and a cold wind, not my favourite combination.
MrOops continues to be under the weather, we managed to get some over the counter medicine yesterday, but he will need to call his GP when we get home next week, at least he can sit in the sun and do his exercises in the pool. He doesn’t feel the cold so is sitting outside reading most of the day.
Unusual for him as we are usually out every day enjoying the sights and restaurants.
Spotted some lemons in the tree in the garden so sent a pic.
Lovely to hear all of your news, have a good day everyone. x
Good morning all.
It’s to be a scorcher again today here on the east coast of Fife, I had all the fans on yesterday while sitting in my tiny conservatory looking out into the garden.
For a change I had my breakfast and lunch in the conservatory it was lovely looking outside
Have a good day my friends be careful
