Good Morning Everyone,
A grey sky but clear and dry here in brackley at the moment.
My usual routine today plus doing things around my flat ,my system seems to vary with good or bad days but I try and keep myself occupied with things .
Hopefully meet up with some i know have a relaxing chat and maybe have a beer as well to see if a half pint helps .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from an overcast W Kent, where DH is coughing for England.
Enjoy your day Glesca grans
Thoughts with all those struggling along

Morning Mick, morning All. A mixed, undecided, sky over our corner of Somerset.

Yesterdays sunshine made it a good one for garden tidying and montana taming. We’re thinking to enjoy another spring and it will have to go, the space is really too small for it. It seems the wet wall was caused by a now sorted blocked and misaligned down pipe. It was cleared on Monday in our absence by a team of roofers already in site. Wow.

Indoor stuff today, bed to change, dust to remove and some calls to make, a catch up call from our goddaughter is also promised, she’s very upset again.

Good to hear miss oops is improving. Hope those migraines ease soon mizuna. The child minding grans are working hard, you all deserve medals. Have fun glesca grans.

Thinking of everyone with worries at the moment. Hope Wednesday is kind to us all.

Good morning all from sunny N Bucks.
Opera Plus this morning which I enjoy as I do enjoy being taken through an opera with extracts and insights into the composer,
Movie Mix film studs later on - a lovely film starring the wonderful Mark Rylance called “The Phantom of the Open” it’s on BBC iPlayer and I really recommend it.
Yesterdays visit to my chiro lady was excruciating but very effective , I’m going to try to fit in another one before my Arts Society holiday to Suffolk next week.
Now -Hollysteers - how could you?
I carried on reading a life of Samuel Pepys on the plane and so sorry to read he has just died !😢
Oh no! Spoiler alert!
(Is it the Claire Tomalin biography? Very good)
Wishing you all some respite from pain and worries, healing vibes to poorly peeps and a pleasant day to all.

Good morning from a dry and bright NE. Can't be that warm though as the heating is on.
Sister and BIL are coming today and will take me shopping.

Have a good day.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

I don’t feel the full picnic this morning. I think I ate something off yesterday! We are supposed to be going for a monthly U3A lunch later. I’ll see how I feel.

It is WI tonight. A florist will demonstrate some flower arranging. Not quite my thing. I’m a pop the flowers straight in a vase sort of person! It will be good to see all the ladies though.

Have a good day, especially those of you with problems.

Good morning from a dul & cool Sefton.It is forecast to get brighter & warmer later. We'll see. 🤞A pleasant day yesterday meeting our Llandudno friends for lunch at a halfway point. The pub/restaurant we always use is situated in rolling Welsh countryside but it wasn't warm enough to sit outside & enjoy the lovely views. Today is our busy day. Zoom exercise class first thing, then off to a nearby town for Pilates, a quick lunch, draw breath then off across the city to pick up DGD2 from nursery & keep her occupied until mum & dad finish work.
Have a great meet up Glesca Grannies. How lovely that so many of you manage to meet up on such a regular basis.

Morning from high cloud, 14 in S Hants. I’m taking a friend to the station at 9, later this morning collecting Imogen from her last GCSE and last day at school.
Hair trim this afternoon, my fringe needs it.
Enjoy your break karmalady

Good morning from Durham. Dry so far, but that’s about it.
I’ve overslept, a combination of a very late night, no dog and no builders.
I’ve a mountain of ironing (DD2’s) to finish, which I’ll take back to her and bring Little Dog here for a couple of days. Her DH has a mystery illness, DGS2 has gone in for extra days at Nursery, so having the dog out of the equation should help too,
I’ll miss Karma posts which are always interesting and upbeat.
I hope those loved ones in the sick bay are improving.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning Mick and All. It's a chilly grey start again on the Angus coast - although as usual at 4.30 (at my early loo call) the sun was shining brightly in a blue sky! - but it's beginning cheer up a bit now 🤞☀️
Sorry you're still struggling with your health Mick, that's miserable for you. Hope that half pint does the trick
You certainly have your hands full one way or another Oops but pleased to hear Miss Oops is improving slowly.
I hope that migraine lifts soon Mizuna. Keep yourself fit for your long-awaited op.
I shall miss your posts karmalady but enjoy the rest (and the visitor in your spare room) and come back soon.
I'm off to Perth shortly to have lunch with DGD3 and boyfriend. I shall look like the Michelin man as I don many layers for every weather eventuality! But it will be so lovely to see them and to catch up with all their news. They've each done well in their respective unis' exams and are working hard to save up for their holiday in Gran Canaria in August with DD, New Man and all the Teens. Boyfriend gets on particularly well with two of the boys so it really is one big happy family.
Enjoy your day everyone - especially the glesca grans.

I will miss hearing from Karma too, always distinctive and interesting though makes me ashamed of my own limited activity. Back soon, I hope. Cloudy morning but remaining dry I think so worth a bit of weeding before singing this afternoon.

Two lovely phone calls yesterday evening - one from my neighbour to report that her coffee morning had raised almost £400 for the hospice, the other from DGD1 to say that her end of second year results put her in range of a first class degree if she maintains her effort. Very encouraging and am so pleased for her.

RosiesMaw yes, Claire Tomalin! Such a good writer, I will certainly look out for other biographies by her👍

Good morning from a sunny and dry East Midlands. I joined a knit and natter group yesterday and had a lovely afternoon. It lifted my spirits.

Good Morning from a sunny Co Armagh, I’ll have to do a bit of work with the watering can!
Glad the knit and natter was enjoyable Purplepixie
Haste ye back Karma
Enjoy the day all
