I plan to start my refurbishment of a bird table which someone threw out and which needs some tlc I plan to paint it blue. Also swimming later, but a bit of tiidying up first. The joys of retirement!

I’m looking after my dgd who’s not quite well enough to go back to school after a nasty cold. I’ll also be tying to get a bit of housework done and finish preparing a presentation for my U3A group.

Bit of housework, meet friend for coffee then pre-birthday party food shop.

Demolishing a new summerhouse that has so many faults it’s ridiculous! Neighbours have offered a chainsaw…..

Looking after my one year old granddaughter... hoping we both enjoy it!

This morning at the new hairdresser, and this afternoon reading.

Have you seen the Good Morning thread OP?

We shall be collecting my Sister in Law and taking her for lunch. Afterwards we will visit my brother who has been in hospital for 5 weeks and has just been transferred to a specialist physiotherapist unit.

A bit of office work, followed by a bit of housework and then a trip to John Lewis to look for a dress for Wimbledon 🎾

Have been away just for the weekend the weeds on vegetable beds have tripled it needs my attention. If it stays dry a rare thing I will wash the rest of clothes I had packed worn or not they get washed.

I have a friend coming round so that we can book Airbnb and tickets for the Jam Festival on the Romney Marshes..

I’ll go for a walk after breakfast pick up some Nann from the shop on my way a bit of weeding. My GD comes for dinner on Tuesday I’ll do chicken curry and rice (made with bought sauce as I’m rubbish at making curry) we’ll watch a film together.
Nothing exciting.

Making elderflower cordial and then going to a funeral. I'm in Ireland and funerals are very social occasions where the whole community goes.

I’ve posted my ‘plans’ on the GM thread.

Revising how to use punctucation.

Nannylovesshopping Tue 11-Jun-24 08:53:20

Going to the gym, then walking dog in woods with my daughter and her dogs, hope we don’t get as wet as yesterday, it takes ages for a spaniels ears to dry😀

Frances75 Tue 11-Jun-24 08:56:03

Making strawberry jam, then out to lunch with my brother and his wife at a riverside restaurant (his treat courtesy of a Premuim Bond win grin). Book Club tonight.

I'm on a rally in Looe the sun's shining but it's not particularly warm, I'm sitting outside wrapped up enjoying the sea view and a cup of tea.

Painting the inside of our (ancient) summerhouse today - a very light grey. Just bought some wicker chairs and a little table from a charity shop. Cushions to pick up later from Dunelm.

henetha Tue 11-Jun-24 10:20:00

I'm hanging out the washing as it's breezy and sunny. Then going to the library as my books are due back today, and taking my repeat prescription to the docs.
Then driving to my nearest town to buy bits and pieces.
All a bit boring, but I am so pleased that I can still do these little things we take for granted, and dreading the day when I can't.
Live for the moment.

And spelling perhaps? (Joke) 🤣

Finishing a long overdue overhaul of the spare bedroom - aka (by my DH) filling too many bin bags to fit in the bin

I love Looe Nicenanny and have some wonderful memories of happy times there.

I think it is worth pointing out that although many of us read Good Morning, for me and for personal reasons which I won’t elaborate on, some choose not to post.
This thread is giving us a chance to relate our daily doings,
For myself it will be the usual day indoors pottering and reading.
