Good morning everybody from a fresh and dull south Manchester. The Christie Hospital today for bloods.

Wishing you and your DH all the best, Urms. In m6 prayers. 🥰

Good morning from overcast South Lanarkshire.

Lovely painting Batty.

Welcome Macadia, and NangelaMary congratulations on your first grandchild.

DGD’s team won the netball tournament yesterday, a great end to the season for them. It was a long afternoon so I was very lazy last night.

This is my volunteering day but I’ve a hospital phone appointment which could be any time before 1.00pm so I’ll have to stay home for that.

A frightening thing to happen Alygran, glad you’re ok.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Morning all from a grey S E Essex. I have had little sleep, no idea why, but I do know I have a busy day ahead.

Beautiful painting Grandmabatty I love Aliums unfortunately mine have succumbed to pests and have died.
Safe journey Ash
Fingers crossed all goes well Urmstongran
MaryDoll wishing you better soon.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
A pile of ironing and a food shop are today's delights.
Welcome to our new posters and love to all 🦩 x

NangelaMary celebrations to you. I cannot imagine how happy you must be. Everyone healthy is the best. I have a lot of children and NO GC so I am so happy for you and hope someday I will see GC too but it might not happen in my lifetime. You are Blessed !!! Thank you for sharing with us.

Good morning from a clear dry Suffolk but unfortunately none of the most welcome sun of yesterday.

DD1 is 48 today but we shan’t see her as they are 200 miles away in Bristol. I always remember on her birthday that very hot summer of 1976 when the problem was keeping her cool and not too hot. Sleeping out in her pram,one of those wonderful coachbuilt Silver Cross ones lent by a friend,under a tree in the back garden wearing only a nappy and vest in the shade was the answer. How times have changed since those carefree days.

Thank you for your kind welcome baubles I hope to be back in Somerset very soon. Get out of this awful USA

Good morning everyone from a sunny hillside in south Glos, another beautiful day here.
I enjoyed sitting outside and knitting yesterday, I finished the first sock so I’m on a roll!
The garden is looking lovely and it’s so uplifting to have the sunshine to enjoy it.
I had a long call with dd, lots to natter about.
Today I will walk the dog then spend as much time as possible outside, I believe the weather’s getting cooler again through the week 🙄. I have more bird feeders to put up too.
I hope that those feeling poorly or troubled find comfort 🙏
Have a lovely week 🌹

Good morning from a dull and grey Black Country, after a lovely hot and sunny day yesterday.

A fairly relaxing day yesterday, I cut the lawn, then read under the gazebo. BBQ for our evening meal.

Today is my walking group this morning, then Line Dancing this afternoon.

My DS was born Dec 1975 Liberty. We lived in Essex then and I remember the same with him sleeping outside in the shade in his large silver cross pram wearing only a nappy.! I remember that even in January it was bright and sunny. So he slept outside albeit wrapped up warmly.

Welcome to Macadia and NangelaMary congratulations on the birth of your first grandchild. Happy times.

👋 to Macadia and to NangelaMary good to have you join us.

By the way grandMattie years ago when I copied the style of the Daily Mail by asking the value of a newbie’s property on here, I stopped because very often there’d be a flurry of new joins who posted once or twice then disappeared so, being #lazygran I could be bothered to keep it up!
🤣

Good morning all and welcome to Macadia and NangelaMary. Congrats on the new grandson.❤️. N and
We look forward to news from Seattle Macadia

The wind has dropped but it’s a bit hazy here at the Suffolk coast. Yesterday was pleasant but with a chill breeze. Lovely at the back of the summerhouse out of the wind though.

I planted up some geraniums as they are quite hardy and seem to survive the weather here. 🤞. Dh carried on strimming and clearing the ferns. Help arrives this afternoon to get us back to ‘normal’ .

GM I made the mincemeat and orange tea bread and it is delicious. I didn’t think I would find any mincemeat at our small co op but after going up and down the aisle found a jar on the bottom shelf tucked away. Even the shop assistant couldn’t find it.

Safe and troublefree journey home Ash.
Lovely painting Grandmabatty.
Bonnybanko what is ‘Kirking’. Great pic of the boys and girls in traditional dress.
Marydoll hope your chest and headache ease.

Take care everyone 🌸

Good morning from an overcast but mild NE.
SIL came yesterday and we sorted some cupboards in the study. We were looking for the instruction book for a camera, didn't find it but found loads of books about computer stuff and software. The recycle bin will be full soon.
Quiet day today and dinner will be chicken casserole left from Saturday night's dinner.
Congratulations NangelaMary, exciting time.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a lightly clouded South Yorkshire. I hurt this morning - too much time on my knees weeding yesterday afternoon. Satisfying but I dragged it out too long. I met my new neighbours yesterday morning and had a chat. I hope we’ll get on. A long standing friend rang in the evening for one of our marathon phone conversations. I do wish she lived nearer. Today my patio is being power washed, I have a haircut booked and I will finish and bottle the elderflower cordial I started off yesterday. With any luck I might also get the front lawn cut.
Welcome Macadia and NangelaMary.
Have the best day you can folks.

I think we may be in for a third sunny day - is this summer? I need to tackle the inside of the windows which look awful in the sunshine but will have to do the job in stages as we have quite a lot of glass.

Good morning all from a dull Black country, weather yesterday was lovely bedding washed ironed and put away .
Today no plans as yet.
Haven't read through yet so will get myself a cuppa ☕ and sit and read everyone's happenings.
Have noticed some new names so welcome to this lovely thread 👋.
Safe travels those on the move, best wishes for anyone celebrating and virtual hugs where needed.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Thankyou so much to everyone for your warm welcomes and Congratulations !
Best Wishes to all.

Welcome Macadia

Congrats on become a gran NangelaMary and welcome.

We are a friendly bunch if somewhat nosey 🤣🙋‍♀️

Morning, it’s sunny with some cloud, welcome to Macadia and NangelaMary, congratulations Nangela.
Safe and smooth journey back Ash fingers crossed Urms x
Yesterday was quiet, it didn’t feel like a Sunday, newspaper was finished off, floors washed and general faffing.
Today we’re off to Dorset for a few days, we’ll be very close to the beach, shame the weather is changing.

Good morning from not so sunny South Yorkshire!

I like to get my house jobs done in Mondays so I have more time in the week- that's the theory!

So today I will be vacuuming and cleaning- wonder how far I will get?

Good morning Mick and everyone from cool grey Carlisle.
Yesterday saw me out in the garden after lunch, finishing the removal of another aggressive alpine from the gravel garden and replacing it with something better. Then I put in my new azalea elsewhere, its colour is a little outside my comfort zone but it's been proving a real bee magnet which is good.

Today, laundry and housework in the morning and probably a session with my photos on the Mac after lunch.

Welcome and congratulations to you NangelaMary.

And welcome Macadia. I've been through the beautiful western states of the USA, I found them pretty well anti the Orange Man. Still, you'll be safe in Somerset! Where I assume you're from?

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from the Essex coast, cloudy and grey at the moment.
Congratulations to NangelaMary and welcome to Macadia.
Another here who had a baby in the hot summer of 1976. DD1 was born on the 20th June and I remember the babies in the hospital just had nappies on to try and keep them cool.
Admin this morning and a book to finish later.
Have a great Monday everyone and here's hoping the sun is shining somewhere xxx

Gingster as Kirk means church I can only think it’s blessing the lads and lasses (boys and girls) in church.
Just in case BBanko doesn’t reply.

Thank you all for your lovely comments about my painting. I had to drop art at school to take Latin and I didn't do any art work from then until five years ago. It gives me such satisfaction.

Congratulations on the birth of your first grandchild NangelaMary what lovely news!
And a very warm welcome to Macadia too

Good morning everyone from a brightish Northampton; it is dry and forecast to stay so all day.

Wore myself out cutting the back grass yesterday afternoon, it had got too long and was very hard work - I got through both batteries on the lawn-mower before it was all done and had to have a long break for one to re-charge before finishing. I also had to get the large fork out to remove some enormous weeds, almost as tall as me. Fed up with waiting for the gardener, goodness knows when he'll be back.
I then sat in the sun and had a beer!

No yoga today as my knee is still painful from falling heavily onto it about 10 days ago. Just taken a couple of Ibuprofen.
A bus trip to the surgery this afternoon for a blood pressure check.

And for the best news - I have a ticket for the rugby 🏉 final at Twickenham this Saturday! So excited! Better make sure I have my best team kit all ready!

Welcome Macadia and congratulations NangelaMary. Lovely to see new names.

Have a good Monday everyone.
