Good Morning Wednesday 5th June 2024

Good morning all from a lovely sunny Black country how long it will last is a another question.
Perhaps a wander around the arboretum today while the sun is shining, see how DH feels when I wake him.
Lovely photo Mizuna enjoy your day with DiL.
Safe travels those going or coming back from holidays.
Enjoy your day everyone thoughts with missing posters ☀️.

Good morning everyone from a sunny but wet south Manchester. I’m taking L’il Miss for lunch today. Her mum wants to spend a few hours doing reports on her laptop so she will drop miss chatterbox off here late morning. I’ve told her we will go on the train from across the road and she is SO excited! She’s only ever been on one once ‘and can’t remember about it’. 😁

Good morning from a sunny but chilly NE, the heating came on at 6am.
Yesterday was spent tidying cupboards again, unfortunately I still haven't found what I am looking for.
SIL is coming today and we will go shopping, last week the scanners weren't working and it took us ages to shop.
Have a good day.

Good morning all from a brightish North Leicestershire.

Busy day in prospect here. DH is off to the gym, I have to get to the other side of Leicester for no 4 of 5 Carer Learning sessions, our cleaners will be here at 8.45 and the gardener shortly after. Good job DH will be back to cope.

Our Memory Cafe yesterday was fun but very noisy as the local playgroup came to sing for our guests. They brought all manner of shakey, noisy things and sang very loudly.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a chilly South Yorkshire where the sun can’t seem to make its mind up. I hope it will be dry, as the man who has been cleaning my patio couldn’t finish yesterday because of the weather. He was re-sanding the joints prior to sealing it, and couldn’t understand why the sand was disappearing as fast as he was putting it down, as if there was space underneath it. I said we’d probably got a sink hole! We laughed. I hope we’re still laughing today!
I had a chat on the phone to my son last night, and then one with my grandson who caddied for his father yesterday at a golf club where his other grandad had been captain for a number of years. GS was allowed to hit a few shots and was delighted when he out drove dad and both his uncles on one hole. I said both his grandads would have been proud of him!
Writers group at the library this afternoon, and then I am going to come home and tackle the Triangle of Doom at the back of my garden wall!
Have the best day you can folks!

Good morning Mick and all from 12C northwest coast.
Nice day yesterday, the music club was very enjoyable with a nice variety of music and good companionship. The only fly in the ointment is a poetry reader who goes on and on. I was in charge, on the desk and am trying to get her to read shorter poems, but it’s not sinking in…

It’s my youngest sister’s birthday today who lives in the south. She was due to come here last week but her husband is recovering from heart surgery so she is on nursing duty.
Housework today, broken up by spells in the sun.
Hope all goes well with your scan Mick, lovely photo Mizuna and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning from a dry, sunny Durham, but a cold edge to the wind.
Builders arrived 8am prompt - banging and hammering has commenced!
I’m going to collect Little Dog later - it’ll get me out of the house and away from the noise.
DGS2 is 3 today. How time flies, his Grandad didn’t live long enough to meet him 😢 - they would have adored each other. Must dash, so I’ll read properly later.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, apparently it's quite chilly out, so will need warmer clothes on.

Had a good time chatting over coffee and cake yesterday morning. Prompted by our chat in the morning I found myself looking at next year's cruises after lunch, and booked one to the Eastern Med next April! I now have to wait for them to ring me to check if I am suitable for the included insurance.

A morning of general pottering, an early lunch, and then out to the cinema, where I shall be watching a French rom-com. A bit of shopping in town before I return home on the bus. Must put the bins out when I get back.

I also booked to see the musical 'Pretty Woman' which is on at the theatre in September; only 2 seats left in my preferred seating area.

Glammagran I am sure you will love your river cruise; I did a Saga Danube cruise the year before lock-down and thoroughly enjoyed it. Let us know about your adventures.

Have a good Wednesday everyone.

Problems with the shower which is only tepid so am awaiting plumber, probably not till Friday. There is always something! Lovely morning so a garden potter and then singing this afternoon, all good. Handyman to repair shed roof due tomorrow. I hadn’t noticed that some roofing felt had come off but my NDN spotted it from an upstairs window so no real damage has been done. As I said, always something.

Good morning from N Bucks where it is sunny but coolish.
Off to London to look after Flynn overnight while his mummy and daddy accompany (and drive) DH’s sisters to Ouistreham (Sword Beach) for tomorrows D Day events .
They are going overnight and coming back overnight on Thursday /Friday.
I remember doing that with DH for the 60th anniversary and once earlier when his father’s “ Place “ was inaugurated. Punishing! (But we were younger in those days)
Back in time for my friend’s funeral on Friday though.
Wishing you all a pleasant day

Loved your post gingster I could almost have been there,
Today I'm off to the southwest coast of Ireland for 4 days, my husband has respite till Monday so my grandson and myself plus his dog have rented a cottage on the coast, having grown up in London in flats I appreciate the outstanding beauty of Western Ireland, we moved to Kerry 20 years ago and I m still in love with it, not so much the rain but that's probably why it's so green

Good morning from here in little Appleby!

It's 12.8 C. Here at work with the coal fire going in my shop!

I'm waiting for a delivery of a new box of 60 tins of untamed cat food for our little fluff god! She loves them and won't really touch any other brand!

It's raining again which is brilliant as I love rain!

Morning everyone. The sun is shining here. I've woken up with a dreadful headache and a flat tyre. Hopefully the day will improve from here!!
