Good Morning Friday 24th May 2024

Good morning from a dull, overcast Torbay..

In anticipation of a busy weekend here, I’m going to spend a few days in my holiday home at Whiddon Down. The weather forecast isn’t very promising - my swap over to Summer clothes has seen off the sunshine!

Have a good weekend, whatever you’re doing. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from a chilly, overcast Bristol.
I had a quiet day yesterday. Tai chi, sewing etc. I managed to get a courgette plant and some runner bean seedlings which I planted in my remaining pots.
I was having lunch when the son of my downstairs neighbour called in to say his mother had died earlier that morning. She was 92, had broken both her legs earlier this year and was temporarily in a nursing home to rehabilitate. He has been a devoted son, but was realistic about her death. Sad though, especially as the funeral of another resident is on Friday next week.
My boy is in the air, landing about an hour later than scheduled. I shall go and see him at DD’s later this afternoon.
I hope you will also have joy in your lives today. Happy long weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Bore da from lovely 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 where I’m back to the cold and damp - wot on earth did you do with all that Spanish 🌞 I sent you?

Lawdy it was chilly yesterday and we had the heating on to warm up PGTowers - in May!🤦‍♀️. Hope you have better weather on your ‘olidays Ash!

Mixed mail to be opened found a proposed bonus £100 each from Nationwide and a poo testing kit for me…😂 living the life eh?

A trot to shop today and a pile of filing…both jobs I love - hope you all have something to do that pleases you…😉

Good morning from Malta where it’s another hot, sunny day.

Sad memories for me today as it is 9 years since my lovely husband died.💔
Thank goodness I have these two little boys to keep me smiling.

Sad news from your neighbour GM but wonderful news that you will be seeing your son very soon.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

💐for you Bellasnana.

Good morning from another glorious sunny morning on the South Downs.

Yesterday we made a good start clearing and tidying the utility area and greenhouse. Hope to finish it today. All the pots in size order, all the garden feed etc on their appropriate shelves and all the compost in one area. Plus the bonus of less mice, who have been moved out one by one over the past few weeks - all joining each other in the same spot with some seed to see them on their way.

Found a couple of bags of gravel - so I will rake that into the gravel garden to top it up - a bonus I didn’t know we had.

My veggie box is delivered over night so I will go and empty that into the fridge etc. later.

The fledglings are squawking, what a demanding lot they are! I shall put out some mealy worms soon to give the parents a break.

I was late putting out the foxes evening meal last night and they were both sat patiently at the end of the garden. What lovely animals they are. Incredibly timid though. Even the seagulls can see them off.

I must stop as this page is getting dodgy and will disappear!

Just to say gm enjoy your sons visit, and bella I hope your memories are mostly happy.

Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony

Good morning from s somerset, cloud and cool all day today

A perfect day for a fast walk after breakfast and I will still need the factor 50. I will do that walk first, I have most energy in the morning.

I am in process of making a twill lime- coloured sleeveless waistcoat top with collar, zip, pockets and waist drawstring. I already have a black one but this one is more visible for cycling and will be warmer than summer lycra. I am enjoying making this

I was, unusually, on my knees yesterday, washing the kitchen floor in the working area and I glanced at the lower cream cupboards. Oh my goodness, they were visibly streaky from splashes and spills but I had never noticed. On the other hand, maybe we are designed to no longer have hawk-eyes, so thatwe don`t notice so much as we age

Have a good day

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a cool cloudy South Yorkshire. Apart from a bit of misty drizzle early on, the day was pretty dry yesterday so walking group was not as muddy as I anticipated. The sun even came out at one point. I had lunch with a very relaxed DD and then called in at the garden centre on the way home to buy some trailing plants. It was my intention to cut the back lawn yesterday evening but it was far too windy. The wind has given my garden a real battering the last few days.
Today I have my last volunteer session before the school holidays.

Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from a cooler drizzly day here on the east coast of Fife

I was out yesterday to the east neuk of Fife a lovely place called Anstruther where 3 of us had the most delicious food I even had a lager Shandy which was delightful.fun was had by all.

I’m even going out today again to see the hill of Tarvit where there’s a national trust setting. My nephew from Australia is going to climb the hill but he’s going to be disappointed as the mist will impede his view when he gets to the top. Bu hey ho he will be satisfied once he gets to the top. It’s a must for him to do when he visits me.

Have a good day my friends every day is a bonus

Good morning from south Glos where it’s cloudy and somewhat cool.
It was a lovely service for my neighbour yesterday, the crematorium was full of friends and relatives.
A subdued afternoon, dog and I enjoyed our walk but little else happened.
Today I really need to clean out the fridge and tidy the utility room that’s become a dumping ground again (🤬 glares at DH), that’ll keep me busy for an hour or two.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s eventually stopped raining but still looking grey and wet everywhere
bellasnanna for you today 💐
Not long to wait now gMattie enjoy the family time
We’ve got DGD here so I’ll wake her soon, get her porridge for breakfast and then off to school. Later I’m meeting my pal for a coffee and a catch up so really looking forward to that
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 11° and damp. Bellasnana 💐 Ashcombe enjoy your holiday. GrandMattie it'll be lovely for you to see your boy.
I'm having both boys for a sleepover as dd and Dsil are going to a wedding on dsil's side of the family. Dgs2 is being dropped off early and then I'll take him to playgroup. I'll do a shop at Aldi then pick him up again. Later I'll get dgs1 from nursery. Chicken nuggets and chips for dinner for dgs2 and noodles for dgs1. In between, who knows what mayhem they'll get up to? Have a good day all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It has almost stopped raining. I emptied 4 heavy buckets of water last night from below the remains of my ceiling.

A roofer is supposed to be coming today so I shall have to be home. I volunteer across the road but will have to explain my absence.

So I can blame you Ash . I thought the awful weather was because I had bought a picnic rug on impulse. 😂

Enjoy your DS visit gM.
Bellasnanna

I hope everyone has some joy today.

Good morning all from a greyish North Leicestershire.

We are girding our loins for the arrival of DD2 and family. We have a fun filled weekend in prospect. My day involves quite a bit of baking!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Morning all, the sky is blue and the sun is shining.

Gym first thing, then I shall enjoy having an empty house, I may sit in my garden with a book.

Morning Mick, morning All from a very chilly, cloudy corner of Somerset

I froze yesterday, extra layers didn’t warm me so the heating went on for an hour. An upsetting and frustrating phone call regarding an MRI back in March resulted in the offer of onward referral. Something I’d asked for months ago.

Once the house insurance renewal is sorted this morning (horrible process that it is) a relaxed afternoon ahead with TaiChi followed by a cuppa in a favourite cafe.

Enjoy your break ash. Hope you all get some sleep grandmab. Enjoy every minute of your sons visit grandmattie. Thinking of you bellasnana .

Hope Friday is gentle with us all.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. DH is taking the car for a service this morning so unusually I have the house to myself. Lots of plans for tidying but will I actually do them? GS care this afternoon.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. A good day for drying laundry, which is useful as DS came home with a huge pile last night.
Apart from washing, ironing and deciding what to cook I've no other plans today. DS will catch up on sleep and DH is fishing.

Got caught out yesterday, was expecting CCTV man during the afternoon but he turned up mid morning while I was lounging in my PJs 😳
Today I am going out for lunch with my friend, her DH drops us off at the restaurant and collects us later.
