My sister’s wedding was a lovely affair. It was strange seeing some relatives I’d not seen since childhood. My son made it but came on his own as DiL has delayed concussion. The other GC came - DGD3 and DGS2 were thoroughly excited. DGD1 was driving her parents but their journey was a lot shorter. The drive home took 3 hours though with traffic jams on the M25 and M4 and a broken down car at traffic lights just off the M3.
I’m looking forward to a quiet day today.

Best wishes to your DD Gingster. Hope you can get underway with your new medication asap Marydoll. Have a good Bank Holiday everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All from a gloomy looking corner of Somerset.

We missed the storms yesterday, a heavy shower at lunch time otherwise dry and reasonably sunny although a strong, cold wind discouraged being outside.

Hope to get an hour in the garden today. Will be brave and remove a plant. Hope we can then swap a couple of planters to reorganise one area. Assuming we can move them. A neighbour told us some of his garden pots had disappeared overnight. Oh heck. That’s a first here.

We never stop worry about our children do we ash, I hope the second opinion is more favourable. Enjoy Stourhead grandmattie. It’s a beautiful place at any time of year.

Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 12°C.

Yesterday was a lost day, I felt awful, and feel no better today. I was unable to start my treatment, due to having an infection. I was so disappointed.
DH is golfing and I may stay in bed for the day.

I hope you have a wonderful family day out GM.and anyone else having a family day.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Dry so far. I woke early as I didn't pull down the blackout blinds.
I had my booster vax yesterday so will take it easy today. U3A art outing this afternoon.

I wanted to plant out seedlings yesterday but it was too wet. I was baling out water buckets again.
I phoned my DC but didn't see them. They all had news. DGS ran the Edinburgh half Marathon and is to be a prefect.

Last night's very good film was One Life.

What a worry about your DD Ash I hope that her cataracts are operable. 🤞

I hope you are feeling better today Marydoll .

How lovely for you Bonnybanko to spend time with your family.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a bit grey and we’ve showers forecast for later
I hope you enjoy a lovely family day gMattie
That does sound worrying Ash I hope something can be done to help your DD
We’ve got both DGC here so they’ll be up soon for breakfast then it’s the school run. After that I’m hoping to get some gardening done as I’ve not had much chance recently
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a brightening South Yorkshire. I woke very early again this morning and haven’t been able to get back to sleep so it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the day! Yesterday was lost to the weather - heavy rain and thunderstorms. I managed to get a short walk in the early evening when it started to dry up. Nothing much on the agenda today except to pot up some trailing fushias to hang on the iron railings that separates the upper and lower gardens. I didn’t do it last year and I missed them. Said railings really need a coat of paint but I have put it off yet again. Since DH died a lot of these fiddly little maintenance jobs keep getting put off! He will be tutt-tutting from somewhere or other, no doubt!!
Have the best day you can, folks!

Good morning everyone from a bright hillside in south Glos, it’s damp out and more forecast today.
I did a lot of housework yesterday, mainly sorting bits out and filling a bag for the charity shop. The dog hates thunderstorms so I spent an hour with her squashed in my chair with her head under my armpit, poor thing. We had several spectacular downpours.
Today I will get the ironing done then see what materialises apart from dog walking.
Have a lovely day everyone 🌹

Good morning all
What a week I’ve had here on the east coast of Fife.
The weathers been a mixture of heat, rain and wind.
My lovely family have been visiting and staying over for a few days.
We’ve had great fun in going out to certain areas of Fife eating in fancy restaurants, drinking a few Proseccos, in general, catching up after a few years of not seeing each other.

Have a good day my friends as best you can

Good morning from a damp Whiddon Down for packing up for home.

Worrying news this morning from my DD1 in Australia who has been told her cataracts are inoperable due to risk of making her vision worse. She’s seeking a second opinion.

Have as good a day as you can, everyone. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning Mick from a damp north Wales where it’s promised a dryer day later 🤞

A titivating day for me ….🦶💅 and a facial, all DIY as it’s quicker and cheaper, wish I could cut my own hair!

I’ll pop in later to read about your bizzinesses and hope you’ve all got something good happening this BH!

Good morning from Bristol.
I had a quiet day yesterday. Church after DS left, lunch, my nap (😴) then I finished my patchwork blocks and am now putting on the edges before arranging and assembling.
Today,DD and family have asked me to join them on a trip to Stourhead. I hope that the azaleas will still be in bloom. I have wanted to go there since always…. As we will be 6, we’ll need two cars. The passenger arrangement will be telling.
I trust the weather will hold, but am not holding my breath.
I hope MD’s infection is receding and she feels better. Nice to see your post Urms. Trust everyone has a good bank holiday despite (because of, perhaps?) the weather.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
