Good Morning Sunday 26th May 2024

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where is has rained overnight. Alexa tells me it’s 13°C here with a high of 16°C expected.

Well, well, well, the Man. Utd team won the ⚽️ at Wembley! Most unexpected and Himself clapped and roared his approval. Apparently sorry for Newcastle who have now been knocked out of a European placement.

We are picking up my stepfather and going to his favourite Italian restaurant for lunch. It’s always good to spend time with him although we do phone one another every day.

Bellasnana I love how you and your friend FaceTime one another every Sunday! What a great way of keeping in touch and up to date with news. My stepfather and his 99y old brother chat on the phone (neither has internet) every Sunday evening.
💙

Good morning everyone from a very damp and overcast Northampton; will not be out and about today.

It was lovely to meet Maw at the theatre yesterday afternoon, and the ballet was much enjoyed; I had a.brilliant seat with no-one in front of me. Such beautiful and handsome.young dancers! They did excerpts from several ballets, so there was a really good variety. Maw and I found a nearby coffee shop afterwards and had a good catch-up. We could talk for England!

Nothing planned for today or tomorrow - will finish reading yesterday's papers and then on to today's. May watch a film this afternoon.
Roast chicken tonight.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good Morning from a dry Co Armagh, not that the rain is going to hold off ,
Mass for Trinity Sunday this morning
Candles will be lit for the poorly

Good morning from a dull but dry so far Sefton. The forecast looks ominous. I didn't manage to get all my plants potted up yesterday so had better get on with the day whilst it is still dry. DS1 & DGD1 will be calling round mid afternoon after depositing their cat in the 'cat hotel' - it sounds very 5* (might just book in there myself!) They are off to N Wales for a short break as it's halfterm. We will all go to a local restaurant for an early dinner. Yay! Another no cooking day.
Wishing you all a good day .

Well no injection for me. I read the instructions and cannot have the meds if I have an infection. I certainly do have one!
Oh well!

DH can't get into his safe, do I have the key?
I have a SPARE key, where is yours?
I put it somewhere safe. Grrrrr

Good morning all and it’s damp and dreary .

Thank you so much for all your get well wishes for DD. Also PMs, so very kind of you all. ❤️.
Scan results showed ‘an infection’ 🤷🏻‍♀️. Maybe a colonoscopy today. I doubt it as it’s Bank Holiday.

Little DGD has her swimming lesson today and maybe we’ll visit her mum but they don’t really allow children on the wards now. We’ll see.

I hope your days are happy ones.🌸

Good morning from soggy South Lanarkshire.

I’m groggy following a very disturbed night due to medical device malfunctions (a phrase I’ve borrowed from harrigran), The last twenty four hours have been difficult actually, sometimes I think it would be easier if I could just take a pill for nutrition. Hey ho onwards we go.

Mass this morning, we have a couple of weeks of stand in priests before our next temporary one starts. Would be good to have someone permanent.

This evening we are eating out at our local hotel. Extended family members were kind enough to give DH and me various vouchers for our birthdays at the end of last year and I’ve been using them up one a month since then, spreading the love.

Wishing everyone a good day especially those not in the best of health.

Grey skies and promised rain so a good thing I have no outdoor plans today apart from a group service in the smallest church in our Benefice. It is dedicated to the Holy Trinity so on Trinity Sunday it is appropriate that we gather there. Nothing else planned but the day will unfold slowly. Sorry to read that Marydoll is still so unwell and hope for better news soon.

Good morning from a grey,damp but,so far,not raining north Norfolk.

Yesterday there was torrential rain,the like of which I rarely see. It was much too wet to walk about so we got a bus into Norwich, had coffee in M&S where we sat at a table next to someone who used to work for me,her husband who we knew and their 2 charming daughters.

We got a bus back to the hotel and had a couple of hours to read before going out to the restaurant we love for dinner which was excellent.

The paddle boarders are already in the sea which is quite rough. Hopefully it is stays more or less dry we can enjoy the walks around heee we know well.

Hope today is a good one for all especially those with worries or ill health concerns.

Morning all from my little corner of S E Essex, the sky is grey, no idea if we have rain forecast.

We have DD and the GC here for lunch and dinner, they boys will be wanting to be in the garden for a swim and splash whatever the weather 😱🌧️💨

I shall do picky bits for lunch and roast chicken for dinner this evening.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.
I should get up soon - I overslept!
No church today as there isn’t a service nearby.
I’ve taken my blood pressure already. I’m doing it morning and evening for 7 days. The lower figure was 59 last night, which hasn’t happened before.
OH won’t be checking on his bees today. He wants the new Queens to settle in.
I think I’ll make a cheese soufflé for Sunday dinner. We had pork in mushrooms and cream last night so maybe something a bit lighter today.
Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning all from a very cloudy Glasgow, where it is 12°C.
I feel as if someone is slicing my throat with razor blades. 😫

Karna, I'm sure you will have changed all your passwords, after your hacking experience, if not do it ASAP.
That's a nightmare, scammers getting into your Dell, phone and compromising your cards into the bargain. They are so sophisticated nowadays.
Last week, when I suspected that my email had been hacked; , my first thought was to change my passwords (my IT training is firmly embedded in my brain.)
It turned out that Virgin Media were to blame and they still haven't sorted it.. 🤬

DH is off to Mass on his own, the Cup Final took precedence over Mass last night. 🤭
} can't even make the effort to get dressed this morning, but will enjoy a rare, Sunday morning empy.
The downside, is that I won't see my darling Dollie.

I'm in a dilemma. My new treatment should have started yesterday, but DH was concerned that I was too unwell to begin. However, I cannot put it off again, I long for a better quality of life, than presently.
Someone has to be with he, when I do it, in case of anaphylaxis. Not that DH would be much use, so I need to get a move on and do it, before he leaves. I am procrastinating.

My newly bought plants are awaiting planting, it is annoying me that I cannot find the energy to transfer them from pot to soil. The garden used to be full of fledgling veggies at this time of the year, now all I have are two tomato plants and they were grown by DD!

All those in the sick bay and those who care for them are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Hoping that Gingster's DD is getting the help she needs.

Have a good day folks.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset.

The ‘mystery tour’ was in reality a trip to reach a classic car show which Mr C just happened to remember yesterday morning. Hmm. The sun shone and there were seats so I was happy. We reminisced over family cars from many years ago, remembering they usually broke down and didn’t look quite like the pristine examples proudly displayed. Coffee and lunch were good as was a garden centre stop for a cuppa late afternoon. To be fair a decent day.

Pottering indoors today, nothing exciting. Storms are forecast later, with luck they will miss us.

Understand you’re shaken karma, it does all sound under control though which is good to hear. There seems to be much enjoyable family busyness, ours are all away on their various holidays, a quiet time for us

Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where we have the haar.
Yesterday was dry and sunny for the gala day and ride out.

I was busy. My potato and lovage soup went down well at open house. And snap GMB I made lemon drizzle
There were 2 new volunteers which is good.
I spent some time at the fair, some in the pottery studio and some with the filmmaker who was back with the cameraman doing a scene in my garden. She doesn't think I should sell my house!
My covid booster today but nothing else planned.

Well done your GD Harrigran
Enjoy your time with DS gMattie

I love to read about your gardens.
Have a happy day whatever you are doing.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey cloud, hoping it stays dry.
Those scammers are awful karma, so prolific these days
I’m going round to DD2s again this morning, still helping with getting the house sorted to go up for sale. Then later the DGC are coming round to eat and probably stay over, it’s school as usual for them tomorrow.
If you’re out and about or meeting friends and family this weekend, have a lovely time
Thinking of you and your DD and family Gingster, hoping for some better news soon ❤️
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from Shropshire.Raining again🤷‍♀️

We had a lovely day yesterday.DH and DGD got all the plug plants planted, lawns were mowed and I kept everyone fed.DD had time to sit and chat for a few hours which was lovely as normally she is rushing from one thing to another.After DD and the children had gone home we cleaned up the carnage.I then had a nap!DH still had some energy left so spent another couple of hours in the garden.

We are hoping for a quiet couple of days before both DD’s and families descend later in the week to celebrate DH’s 70th birthday.It doesn’t seem long since he was 60!

We have had several phishing messages this week karma.it’s horrible, they seem so genuine and it does leave you feeling shaken.

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Morning from a wet S Hants, rain overnight, hopefully no more, we have the family here for a bbq, timed to finish before the football at 3.
Yesterday was glorious, bedding washed, dried, no ironing gMattie, it just went straight back on.
It’s me v slugs in the garden, why they can’t eat weeds I don’t know.
🦩🦩

Good morning all from a grey and wet North Leicestershire.

Luckily, yesterday was fine as DD2 & 3 did their sponsored abseil in the Derbyshire Dales. They were raising money for the charity set by their friend who has MND. They exceeded their target of £500 so we're very pleased. DGD2 and DGS4 did it with them. I made hotdogs (with onions) for 11 before we went.

Today some of them are going to see Take That so I am on cooking duty again - cheese and ham toasties have been requested this time.

An early night beckons I think.

Good morning from a damp, dull W Kent. We enjoyed our day with DGS5. A sandwich lunch out and then he was glued to the Cup Final. Today we are off to cat sit for DS, not sure why but we have more luggage than when we go on holiday.
Stay dry if you can

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a wet South Yorkshire. Yesterday the weather was kind to us and we managed to get two coats of paint on the fence. I say “we” - DD did the bulk of it. I was ordered to do only the bits I could reach! SiL came over and pitched in until he had to pick up GS up from work by which time I had retreated indoors to cook a roast chicken dinner. By eight o’clock I was falling asleep but managed to hang on until nine before I went to bed! Today I intend to do a lot of nothing. I have knitting to catch up on.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from the NE where we had overnight rain and the forecast is for more rain today.
Quiet day yesterday, ran the vacuum around upstairs and cleaned the bathrooms. I then prepared a courgette Provencal ready for tonight's dinner.
DS and family are coming at lunchtime and we are all going to a concert, the Northern Symphonia are playing the Four Seasons.
GD2 passed her Grade 5 piano with merit and will be very happy when I see her today.
It is my sister and BIL's sapphire wedding anniversary today, I will send a greeting as they are on holiday in Ayrshire.
Have s good day.

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 16°C.

Yesterday the sun shone all day, though a strong wind made it feel rather cold. Good drying weather 😊 It was a quiet afternoon here, apart from the trains. Most unusual on a sunny day, I think people would have been watching the football.

Today is Whit Sunday, a day when families used to dress in their finery for church.

Happy Sunday, whatever you’re doing🌻

Good morning from rainy Colchester. A wet day forecast. We are supposed to be going to DGS3's last football match of the season which has was postponed until today because of the weather. I'm hoping it's called off.
We'll go over anyway as it was his birthday yesterday and we have presents to deliver.
Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and raining. It looks like it will be on for a while. Karma they are relentless, those scammers.
The last couple of days have been busy with the boys. They've been very good, on the whole. Dgs1 was very excited to find peas growing outside. He spotted them pushing through the soil before I did. After DD picked them up, I had a nap then set to work to clear up the mayhem left behind.
Today I will visit mum this afternoon, but I have no plans. I think I'll make lemon drizzle cake. It's the Mary Berry recipe and it always turns out. I roasted trout fillets yesterday so I'll have one with salad for dinner tonight. I made my own tartare sauce and it is very nice, so I'll have some with the trout. A fairly quiet day ahead. Have a good day all.

Good morning all it’s going to be another hot day here on the east coast of Fife with light rain falling which will be good for the garden I’m now going to put the remaining begonias into the extra pots I have, or at least my young helper will.

I’m off to church in the morning after a breakfast of poached egg on toast, freash orange juice, a nice shower and hair washed

Blessings to you all
