Good Morning Sunday 19th May 2024

Good morning from a beautiful morning in Torbay with sunshine forecast for throughout the day.

Today is my 74th birthday! We might visit Cockington, where we were married in 2015 and a meal in our favourite pub on the Downs is planned for this evening. I’m pleased to report that olddudders has recovered well from his dental experience with normal eating being resumed during yesterday.

RosiesMaw: I’m sorry there is such sadness in your life. 💐

I bet being a film extra was interesting, Grammaretto!

Perhaps you were overtired by the time you went to bed, Greyduster?

Wishing everyone a blessed Sunday. 🦩💐✝️🥰🦩

Good morning from Bristol. It looks like we are in for a glorious day. No storms or rain yesterday.
Yesterday was a bit of a disaster. I had planned my morning very carefully. First, I’d get the bus to Waitrose, it was a ghost bus so I had to walk some 25 minutes to get there. As it was only one stop to the surgery for my COVID appointment, I walked back with my heavy trolley. I got there on time for my appointment, only to find a queue of about 10 people! Surely they didn’t all have an appointment at the same time? I think they just come and are accommodated. Next time, I’ll do the same - just turn up…. After about 20 minutes fortunate standing in the early sunshine, I got vaccinated.
I then walked back to the church for coffee; it wasn’t worth going home. I tried to get into church via the side door, on the flat, with my heavy trolley. Locked! Bummer - I was getting very fed up with how my morning was going!
I went round to the main door, heaving the trolley up the steps. There was an official looking chap, jobs-worth it turned out, who refused to unlock the door because “the person who locked up wouldn’t know that it was open”! Well!!
Nothing had been set up, so I did it. The two ladies whose turn it was didn’t arrive until “opening time”!
The rest of my day was quiet and predictable, fortunately. I did a lot of square preparation for the quilt. Got 12 done, only need another 8, then I can assembled the larger squares…
Just church this morning. It’s Christian Aid week, so something will have been organised.
The poor vicar has pneumonia and told to rest. As he seems hyperactive, it’ll probably be very hard for him, butshoukd do him a lot of good.
Have a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is up in South Yorkshire - going to be a hot day. I have been awake since quarter past two! I was busy yesterday, weeded all the patio paving, emptied and cleaned some redundant planters, cleaned and polished the car……. I was tired last night, but still woke at silly o’clock😩.
DS is coming down for lunch today before skipping off to the last football match of the season. I’ll make lasagne and salad rathe than a roast today. He’ll look in again on the way home (and probably find me asleep in a chair!).
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning, it is foggy in s somerset and we have had more rain overnight, there are hanging drips everywhere. It will be a lovely day today, sun all day

Another positive day for me yesterday, bits of this and that, including putting sleeves into my hippy jacket, all seams are finished as behoves this quilted indian cotton. I quickly sliced the fruity saffron leaves, which are like soft brioche and they are away from temptation in the freezer

I am on a mission to live out of the freezer for a while, only buying tasty basics from the organic company. I am going to need the space within weeks as my gooseberries and blueberries are swelling very fast and I eat them all year around. Multi-coloured veg and bean soup to be made today, using stock from the freezer

A bit of sewing and either cycling or walking today, probably walking because of the field and tractor mud which will be on the lanes.

Have a good day
