Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 15°C.

Not much planned for today. The nasty bug that struck me down on Friday seems to have gone. It was sudden and vicious, I felt so ill and I’m glad it’s gone! My balance is not good at the moment so don’t think I’ll be going out anywhere. I had a lovely walk yesterday but fell over when I was almost home. I have a scraped elbow but am otherwise OK.

What a lovely convivial afternoon GrandMattie, you have made a real effort and fitted in well in the community.

A very warm welcome to Macadia and NangelaMary.

I hope you feel better as the day wears on Marydoll. Headaches are one thing I never suffer from. After years of excruciating blinding migraines they stopped abruptly after the brain injury that almost killed me. I am not proposing that as a cure! Nobody has been able to tell me why, it may have been an AVM that caused them and it was amongst the brain tissue that was destroyed. Anyway, I now have a plan for today, thank you! I am going to cull my bead and findings stash and use the remainder to make some simple bracelets and necklaces for a local charity. They have a few summer events coming up and the jewellery sells well.

Happy Monday everyone 🌻

Good morning everyone!

It's 15. C. here in little Appleby. I'm a happy bunny as such but still have flu, which I can't shake off no matter how much I try! I'm at work again and basically can't do anything as my whole brain and body is made of concrete! I'm operating the till, serving customers, doing paperwork but I can't concentrate on computer spreadsheets and databases at all so have not plugged in my memory stick!

I've got a ton of grapes here on my desk along with a 1LT carton of Moo banana milk, 2 bottles of water, a Chicken/veg Cup-a-Soup and a can of Monster Ultra - desperately thirsty! HA!

Last night hubby and I watched 8 Year Old Assassin and Bad Seeds with McKenna Grace as the 8 year old evil psycho then the 17 year old.

I'm on duty 3rd 4th and 5th then have a few days off, weeee!

Yesterday my hubby bought me a 1LT bottle of Country Cream and this morning he gave me £20.00 to do exactly what I like with and he said at the end of the month he's taking me to our local Fine Dine Indian Restaurant, 7eventy1 ! We've been there before, beautiful restaurant, gorgeous food and excellent staff!

Good morning from a warm but cloudy Essex. Been reading all your messages for the last two years and they make me laugh and make me sad. You are such a positive group. At the moment just bought OH bday pressie ready for Thursday and sitting watching the world go by with a cappuccino. Thought I'd better pop out whilst he's at golf. Have a lovely day all and keep healthy x

Good morning everyone from Severnside and welcome newcomers. I remember reading back in the day Greyjoy and thought’I can do that’.

I’ve just finished most of the housework I’m going to do today, still have to run the cleaner over downstairs. New recipe in the slow cooker for later.

Have a good day all 🌷

Good afternoon from currently sunny East Lothian. I managed to sleep for nearly 12 hours! I do have a slight sore throat and sniffly nose so maybe my immune system is fighting off the full-fledged version.

We had a glorious walk yesterday, down at the coast near Dunbar. The tide was out and there were miles of sand and several ‘tide lines’ of seaweed and twigs and shells. There is a river mouth with a large area of low-lying grass and sand. It is rich in wildflowers including big patches of sea thrift making a pink carpet. I will try to add a photo, and one of a ‘stone stack’ we spotted (a popular activity round here).

We need to stock up on food basics. Then maybe some gardening at DD’s before the weather goes downhill. We were planning a trip up the Angus coast and back via the glens, in the campervan, but the forecast is cold, wet and windy so may reconsider.

Welcome to new posters. Glad you are recovering, Blossoming.

Hope you all had a nice Monday. I was at work today, but on a count down for a trip to Spain on Sunday. It has been a warm and mostly sunny day in my corner of the North East.
My day was made brighter by a piece of my homemade banana bread and a good cup of coffee. It's the small things isn't it.
