Good morning what are you all doing today

It's Lady Gaga's MOT today. Lady Gaga is my car. So we're driving into town feeling very wary of what awaits us.

Thought Michael hadn’t started Good Morning thread, there are two

Got up at 4.30am for the dog. It’s amazingly light by then, so we went for a very early morning walk and surprisingly met another dog walker on the field.
Washing on (just the dog’s bedding) because it’s fine today, but now I’m resting after the early start in preparation for afternoon tea with some gym friends and she’s snuggled next to me.

I am looking after my toddler granddaughter just now and will take her to nursery later. Then I am off to pilates.

Just off out for coffee with a friend at our favourite beach café then hopefully a bit of gardening this afternoon.

Not doing much this morning as I am getting ready to go out at 12.00 and can't relax enough to start a new task.
When I come back I may tidy the greenhouse and repot some plants. Then I shall do my puzzles and read the paper.

I am at that point in the day when I don’t know what to do. Sounds silly, put like that. I was busy with admin this morning and have been to a u3a meeting this afternoon. Tea is “one I made earlier” from the freezer. Normally I would have a choir practice to go to this evening but we have broken up for the summer.
Of course there is plenty I could do, eg cleaning, sorting, mending, gardening, reading, do my Self Assessment tax return, listen to music, watch TV…….. but it is a weird time to start something at 4.30pm. And yet there are many more hours in the day still.

What do you do when you don’t know what to do?

Cabbie21. My self assessment is on my to do list. But that has to be a morning thing when brain is at its best. All down hill from midday.

4.30 is a funny time. If I lived by the sea it would be a perfect time for a walk til 6.30.. Am very envious of those living on the coast.
I could go and water some plants in tubs which are now in the shade and a bit thirsty after a sunny day. Two hours whizzes by in the garden.

Thank you HelterSkelter1. Yes, I need to do demanding things in the morning.
I agree a walk by the sea would be lovely.
I have been messing about on my ipad and done a few easy jobs.

Tidied up a bit
Hung washing out
Filled birdbath, fed the birds and squirrels
Did 45 minutes of aqua aerobics
Crosswords, reading and tv
Went to Aldi

Meeting up to play board games with like minded people this morning then home to tidy up as old friends round at 2pm for a cuppa and a catch up. This evening I'm playing scrabble with 3 others who live in the same housing scheme. We use our communal lounge.

Mr R and I are going to Sainsburys this morning ....... hopefully I will last the distance but if I get too tired he finishes off the shopping and I go and sit in the cafe.
Our eldest daughter is coming here later for her dinner and to watch the England football match. She may regret watching it here because Mr R is very loud and vocal when watching football matches ....... I can see her ducking out at half time Luckily she only lives up the road to us.

Morning all, I’m off to the allotment to water newly planted squash and cauliflowers before the water pressure gets so low it’s a mere trickle. Only a couple of weeks ago we were complaining because it wouldn’t stop raining!!. Ho Hum!

Hope everyone gets to enjoy some sunshine today.

Vet at 9, dentist at 11.
That'll be me sorted !

I put washing on early, then I’m off to the hygienist this morning. Lunch with a friend at the garden centre.
Back to my To Do list after that.

Pottering in the garden this morning - deadheading the roses, battling with the bindweed on the field side hedge, watering the pots, etc. Then Aqua class this afternoon.

Aquafit then walk the dog then work. I meant to put the washing on early, but got engrossed in a book.

So far I walked the dog for an hour at 7am, had a coffee and put the washing on, my sister phoned for a chat. I have collected all the bits I need for art group this afternoon, cut back the shrub in the border under the kitchen window and discovered my arum lily is growing nicely despite complete neglect.
Filled the bird feeders and topped up their water.
Just had a chat with my lovely neighbour and am thinking about what’s for lunch. I think I will have a salad and DH can finish up what we had yesterday, it was too spicy for me 🙄

Travelling south today. A six hour journey to visit my family. I am driving for the first half so I am hoping for zero holdups .

Another sunny day ahead, so looking forward to more time pottering in the garden. Then meeting some old work colleagues for lunch at our nearby NT cafe, with a walk afterwards. Have a good day, everyone!

Taking granddog for a walk then popping into the Genius Bar at Apple to get my iPad fixed. After that I need to get some shopping in as we have been away and the cupboards are bare.

At 10.30ish this morning MrR and I are meeting our new baby grandson! He was born on Wednesday and we can't wait to see him

That’s a long drive Parsley3. We do it to see family and hold ups make it even longer. Fingers crossed for you.
Workmen due to arrive here at 8.30 so we’ve been up for ages.
Lovely day, so I’m taking the dog out of the way to meet up with friends at a dog friendly cafe by the beach. Work this afternoon.

Meeting my brother for a pub lunch, then I'll go to a nursery to look for some bedding plants
