Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Black country, bit overcast at the moment but a dry day is expected.
DH is fishing hence the early start.
My plans will be a beef bourguignon in the slow cooker and then I shall take myself off to meet friends.
Roses hope all goes well with the summerhouse collection bet you will be glad to see the back of it.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from s somerset, cooler again today and probably dry

I actually got up out of bed and put bedsocks on last night. I got so chilled during the evening that I went to bed early to read. Seems as though I will need to change into something warmer for the evening on most days at the moment

I pottered all day yesterday and it was enjoyable, I even got to wear my newly made envigado vest when I went for my walk. Happy me, it felt perfect and the lime colour suited me.

My dell laptop has been switching itself off, I have had months of warning about low battery. I keep it plugged in during the day but the battery must give it a boost now and then when it is working. I think the battery is dead now and I have sent for another and printed 12 pages of instructions on how to do it. I also ordered some canned air, I think the fan area will need cleaning too

Today will be pottering, a cover-all word for having no idea for anything specif but as always the day will evolve and I will not get bored

Have a good day

You must be so glad to be rid of the appalling summerhouse, rose. And trust you will give them the terrible review they deserve when the inevitable survey arrives!

Good morning from a bright ish Bristol.

No sun today, but no rain either. I’ll have to water my plants again. I have some sunflower seedlings on a window sill, but am reluctant to plant them out due to the voracious slugs!🐌

Our singles evening brought in about 18 people, mostly widows, with one delightful widower. My various preparations went down well too. Cheese, wine, savoury bits then brownies…

I had hoped to attract more people from different areas of the church. Nevertheless, everyone enjoyed themselves and said they would like more of these events on an ad hoc basis. Someone wanted outings - they can organise them themselves!

I Was very tired when I got home after washing up and tidying the church up and dozed through “Sewing bee”. I shall have to catch up on iPlayer.

I’ve got a residents’ coffee morning today as well as my book group in the afternoon.

Our book is “Miss Benson’s Beetle”. It is absolutely charming, quite bonkers and a delightful read. I strongly recommend it, if you fancy something lightweight but not girlie.

I hope you all have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, grey skies and chilly here on a hillside in south Glos.
Well we spent yesterday dismantling the summerhouse and dragging it into the front garden for collection this morning, it nearly finished me off but no option. I subsequently had a bad night, I might well go back to bed after it’s collected.
Little else done yesterday apart from walking the dog.
No idea what else I might get done today!
Have a nice day 🌹

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry but with a grey looking sky this morning, in brackley .
Yesterday , after my Wiltshire Farms delivery I caught a later bus to Bicester ,as the bus was about just over a mile out , coming towards us in the northbound carriageway ,was the PM with the usual Police escort on there way to Silverstone .
My usual routine trip to Bicester , apart from coffee and a shop after , will probably meet up with a female friend ,as we have got to talk quit allot before she gets her bus .
Then return home watch cycling on TV ,and do the normal .
Take Care,
Mick
