Good Morning Saturday 1st June 2024

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a sunny bright start to the day
My goodness karma you worked hard yesterday
I’m meeting up with an old pal today, she went to live in America about 5 years ago but she’s visiting here this weekend so there’s a bit of a get together. Should be like old times! Later DD2 and family will be round to eat so it’ll be a busy evening
Enjoy your reunion too today Ash and safe travels
Hope you feel much better soon Blossoming take care
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings💐

Good morning from sunny, dry Colchester. Yesterday was cold and wet.
I have one washing load out on the line and another is spinning. DS has added his uniform to the pile. DH is fishing so the pile will be replenished.

A short walk to the Evri drop off shop as I made an Ebay sale yesterday.

Otherwise a quiet weekend as DS will catch up on sleep.

Love to all 🦩 x

Good morning from a dull but dry Suffolk. Today DGD1 is 18 and we are meeting her and DS’s family for a celebratory lunch at a pub a few miles from them.

It is somewhere we haven’t been but they know so should be delicious food. We are meeting them there rather than going to their house first as dogs are not allowed in the restaurant and so ours and theirs have to stay at home. Theirs would be very excited to see us if we popped in first and then left soon afterwards.

DiL has just sent us a photo of their decorated sitting room. She has an eye for such things and always makes an effort for all 3 GCs’ birthdays as well as DS’s.

Hope today is a positive one for all.

Good morning everybody from south Manchester where it’s sunny and warm out. A lovely start to the day here. I hope it lasts as Himself fancies standing around in a field this afternoon to watch the presentation ceremony at the Boy Wonder’s ⚽️ club! 🤞🌞

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Now back home after cat sitting and I need to get some shopping done. It was so cold yesterday the heating came on!
Blossoming I hope you feel better soon. * Msrydoll* likewise.
Best wishes to all

Good morning from a slightly brightening Black Country.

A good day yesterday. Took Mum to the Memory Cafe where there was entertainment by a trio called Bluebird Belles singing music from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Mum was singing along knowing the words. This is all free, run by volunteers and donations. Tea/coffee, cakes and biscuits are also provided

We then met DS and DIL for lunch, and spend almost 3 hours with them. When DIL asked Mum if she enjoyed the morning, Mum didn't remember it ! I showed her a photo I had took of the trio and then she slowly did. Dementia is so so sad.

I know Rugeley fairly well Ashcombe as I used to live in Lichfield which is near.

No real plans today, cut lawn and housework!

Wishing you all a pleasant weekend.

Good morning from our holiday in the Algarve. We have been here for two weeks and really is a special place. We have a few more days left before returning home. We haven’t done as much getting out and about as usual as the weather has been so hot. Also it was such a busy time before we came here so needed some downtime.
Today looks like another hot one. The 10 & 5 year old GC are still asleep they were late to bed last night. They want to do Adventure Golf this morning then down to Vilamoura Marina before swimming in pool this afternoon. DH wants to go to Saturday market at Loule😊
Wishing a happy and healthy peaceful day to everyone💐

Good morning from sunny South Lanarkshire.

Yesterday was spent keeping toddler GS from injuring himself as he runs at full tilt whenever possible. DH dug up a huge patch of willow herb in their garden which had been neglected in recent years. They moved in September, the garden really needs an overhaul but that requires time and energy that they really don’t have just now.

I’m in awe of those of you who childmind much more than I do.

Hair appointment this morning and I’m still in two minds about how much to have cut off, I’ll probably decide when I’m actually in the chair.

We’re off to the 21st party of our great niece this evening. It’s a house party which I suspect will go on until the wee small hours but I’m hoping to escape reasonably early.

DD and eldest DGD will arrive quite late as they’re attending an awards evening for the District Netball Club which DGD plays for. She’s not expecting anything but she was surprised and delighted to receive an award last week from the other club she plays for regularly.

Hope you feel better soon Blossoming.

Have the best day possible everyone.

DH power hosed it and it looks worse than before he started
That made me giggle Marydoll I’m envisaging stones and silt everywhere and battered plants!

Good morning all and it’s a cloudy grey day here at the Suffolk seaside. It seems the rest of the country are having its turn of good weather - East Anglia is holding on to the cloud and chilly wind.

Yesterday our situpon mower and old MG were returned after being repaired. Dh immediately hopped on said mower and made a good start . The wild ferns are huge and have taken over , so we swill still ask our lovely chap to come on Monday to give a hand. Many hands and all that.
Our no.1 son wanted to come up to help but I’ve discouraged him as he has enough to do at home. We’ll manage ! 🥵.

Blossoming hope you feel better as the day goes on.
Marydoll your dh sounds just like mine. Not natural handymen! 🫣.
GM that tea loaf sounds delish! I’ll look up the recipe.

Take care all and enjoy your sunshine ☀️

Good morning from an overcast and windy Oxfordshire.

MrOops birthday today he always gets good weather, let’s hope it picks up, MissOops will be over later, bringing food!
MzOops moved house yesterday so we will have a late birthday celebration next week when she is here with us, she should have moved 2 weeks ago and was very disappointed not to be here today, MrOops still isn’t feeling so good, hopefully next week he will feel better.

So a lazy day today, if the sun shines we will have lunch outside but I won’t hold my breath.

Have a good day everyone, hope those who are unwell soon start to feel better.

lovely sunny start to the day, hope it stays that way, getting my Tesco order this afternoon, some washing to do. I'm intending to do some baking later, have a nice day everyone.

Happy birthday MrOops 🎂🎉🎁

Good morning from what was a brightening Sefton but is now overcast. At least it is dry. The sun is forecast to appear late afternoon...as per usual. Better late than not at all. A busyish day yesterday, mostly washing, garden tidying & looking at cars with a view to changing ours soon.
A slow & quiet day for me today. DH has had a very eatly start as he is delivering hanging baskets with his Lions club. They are trying to beat the traffic build up. (Fat chance) The area is a notorious bottleneck exacerbated by extensive roadworks at a well used junction. Ooh the sun has just struggled out. That looks promising🤞. Now have I got anything that needs washing! Can't waste a good washing day.😬
Wishing you a pleasant day & some sunshine for us all.

👋 to you pably15 what part of the country are you? It’s nice to place folk.

Morning, bright sun in S Hants, but it often clouds over then returns later. Belated birthday greetings to MrSusan 🎂 and a happy birthday to Mroops 🥳.
Sorry to hear you’re poorly Blossoming 🌷
Yesterday was washing, Tesco delivery and last night in the pub I gave away my spare veg plants.
Newspaper today and a small wash as we’re off to Dorset next week for a few days, packing for all eventualities.

Good morning everyone!
It's flaming June here in the Scottish Borders.

I am bussing & training to the northern shores of the Forth today.

Yesterday was rather nice. Serving at the community shop followed by a celebration lunch for the people who have put the Polish Map on the map.
I didn't do much apart from allowing DH to work on it.

What a lot you achieved yesterday Karmalady 👏

Hope everyone has some good times today.

There you go Ging!

Will you restart asking the price of houses? I was outraged when you asked me when I first joined before realising it was a joke! 🤣🤣🤣

Good morning everyone from a bright, hopefully sunny, Essex coast.
The quiz last night was well attended. Our team came third out of six. Not too bad as we thought the questions were quite hard. Everyone enjoyed it. We didn't get home til nearly 12 so a very late night for us.
Some shopping this morning and a friend is coming round this afternoon to help me with some yacht club admin.
We shall be watching football this evening.
Have a great Saturday everyone and let us hope that the sun starts to shine now that we are into June xxx

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Had very sad news yesterday to hear of the death of a dear close friend, our friendship going back to the 80s. I spent a sleepless night thinking about him and our times together 😢

Had to shift myself this morning as the tree surgeon is here (at great expense) doing extensive work on my forest in the back garden…
I had a FaceTime last night with my son and he said he would have done it with his friend as they have done work here before and I should really have asked him. I’m kicking myself as I could have saved myself a lot of money.
However, he’s abroad so much and often hard to pin down so at least it’s being done now.

Get well soon Blossoming🌺

I remember that grandMattie it took me aback 🙂

Good morning from sunny Severnside.

Happy Birthday MrOops 🎂🎉

Not sure whether to potter and then go out this afternoon or get stuck into putting my bench together.

Hope we all have a lovely weekend whatever we get up to 🌞👒

Morning all from a lovely north Wales- looks like summer has arrived and we’re promised 🌞 all weekend lots of washing at PG Towers!

Belated birthday greetings to the 70 year old Susan and hope you had a wonderful day celebrating 🥂

I shall trot along to the next village for my newspaper bidding good morning to horses, squirrels, rabbits and various birds along the way - I rarely see a human this early!

Will hop on a bus to Deganwy Prom Day later then on to Conwy for lunch and share a bottle of rose in the secret wine garden - must make the most of this weather after all 5he moaning I’ve done since returning from mi Casa!

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend x

I have just put my washing out so expect it to rain! (grin)

Conwy is very pleasant, my maternal Grandmother lived there for a while in the early 60s.

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Conwy.

We have lived in North East Wales since 1990, in several different properties.
