Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s cool and showers forecast for later
That’s a lovely photo Mizuna enjoy the time with your DiL today
Just some shopping then pottering in the garden today until DD2 and the DGC come round to eat later. I’ve seen more of her these last few weeks since she split up with her partner than I have for ages - I’m pleased she talks to me though, even if it’s hard work sometimes
What a shame about the summerhouse roses you should have been enjoying it by now rather that the awful hassle you’ve had
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings💐

Good morning from Malta where it is hot, sticky and due to reach 30°C.

Grandmabatty remind me how old are your boys. We also realised the boys were watching a lot of tv so I don’t put it on at all now and they have soon got used to it.

It means I read to them a lot more and find other ways to amuse them. They are not allowed screens at all which I agree with.

Took them to the paediatrician yesterday who was pleased with their progress. They both weigh exactly the same although one is 1cm shorter than his brother!

I’ve been enjoying the tennis and am very glad Djokovic has withdrawn as I can’t stick him!😄

Have a good day all. ☀️

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Our U3A outing to the Gurdwara was very interesting. Our guide was very informative and we ended up with a curry in the biggest canteen I have ever seen. Today I am visiting a friend for coffee and then DH and I will do a walk this afternoon.
Best wishes to all

Good morning from South Lanarkshire where it’s still a bit wet and cool.

I found myself at a loose end yesterday so started a crochet baby blanket for one of my young neighbours. She’s had a difficult pregnancy, poor soul, she can’t wait for it to be over.

Lovely photo Mizuna.

Food shopping today I think, once I’ve had a look through the freezer and cupboards to see what’s needed. It’s my least favourite household chore, in my fantasy life I’d have someone to organise all that. A chef and a personal hairdresser would be my dream. smile

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from cool s somerset, the weather will be nice and sunny and dry

My new fig came yesterday, it is lovely, tall and already has a fig on it. I am going to get rid of the one which is just thin twigs with one very tiny leaf at the base. I will treat the new one better and it will live no bigger than a 14 litre pot all through its life

A very easy day for me yesterday, pottering and trying to make spaces. Ended up with very active lovely whatsapp, me and five siblings. I am still the centre of the wheel always have been, being the eldest

A bit of active exercise for me this morning, then I need to continue to find spaces for bits and bobs

Have a good day

Good morning Michael I hope and pray your scan is a clear one. It’s a beautiful start to the day here on the east coast of Fife apart from a slight wind. ( that’s not me)
I’m off out today with my new PA. who’s taking me to a local garden centre for compost and begonias.
I’m going to have a lovely day I’m going to show him how to make easy peasy lentil soup. He’ll probably take some home with him as I usually make too much.

Have a good day my friends peace and love to you all

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 5° and sunny. It's blooming cold! I had forgotten to put the bin out so have just done the walk of shame in my dressing gown and felt every bit of a cold wind rustle under it. Ash and GrandMattie I hope both your talks are interesting! RosesandLilac I'm glad you are getting some restitution for the summer house but what a nuisance for you. Mizuna that's a lovely photo.
Yesterday was a much better day with dgs2. No tantrums. We think both boys have been watching too much tv and have got addicted to certain programmes, so grandma's tv was broken yesterday. Whether it was that or not, he was much happier. We nipped to the pharmacy after nursery drop off where I encountered a former colleague. She was one of the most unpleasant people I ever worked with. Yesterday she was extremely unhappy that I wasn't going to stop and chat, despite the fact that she never chatted at work but would insult you to your face. I was glad I had dgs2 as an excuse. Last time I met her, she coralled me with a trolley in Aldi and I couldn't escape. After my lucky escape yesterday, we walked to Aldi where certain goodies were bought for both boys. Then playing in the back garden and then lunch, nap and nursery pick up.
Today is my peaceful day. I will potter about. I'll have to water the garden and might pull a few weeds. I'll probably visit mum this afternoon. I need to arrange a nursing home visit to decide where best suits mum, so that'll be on the to-do list. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a cloudy, fresh Cornwall. Kind comments here for me yesterday; thank you. My daughter-in-law is visiting today and her flame red hair and quirky clothes are always a boost. Marydoll, I'd love to hear your husband and my son discussing German tunnels! My boy sent some hair-raising photos yesterday taken underground. We have a plan to mudlark the far reaches of the Thames when I'm active again, hardly an adventure but it will be fun with him. Here he is giving me my birthday present on Wetherspoon's roof garden.

Your talk sounds interesting Ash, more than the one I’m having this afternoon “Remember the Fifties”. I didn’t live in the UK then and have no interest in other people’s reminiscences of that sort, I’m afraid, especially if no one cares about mine!

Good morning Mick and followers, it’s cool and grey skies here in south Glos. Yesterday was definitely chilly and today is apparently going to be the same.
I finally had an email from the summerhouse company, it looks like they’re agreeing to taking the blasted thing back. I have a list of 22 faults and I have had enough.
Will see what happens 🙏🤞🏻

I did my last planter yesterday and started weeding the borders again- I have so much willow herb appearing. It seeds from the woods behind us.
Today I hope to do more gardening, I enjoy pootling around outside.

Hope you all have a good day 🌹

Good morning from a bright Bristol. No rain forecast today, but the temperatures will remain in the mud-teens.
I did a lot yesterday, requiring “much planning “ regarding buses and library opening times…. All successful!
Today, I have quite a few things on, including hosting a hairdressing salon…. I’m having a trim at home, but two of my neighbours are joining me - it is easier than the woman packing all her stuff and going to each household!
I hope you have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a beautiful looking morning.

I hope you don’t have to wait too long for the result of your scan, Mick.

Today at Wednesday Club we are having a talk from a member of Toads who used to be a fireman and has enjoyed acting in several plays. It’s entitled: From Fire To Foyer!

Happy hump day, everyone! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
