Good morning Mick and all from a cloudy but warm Angus coast. Having not fallen asleep last night until 4am, I have slept late - in spite of the alarm going off at 7am 😵‍💫 - because I dozed on my sun lounger all yesterday afternoon after tai chi and then shopping in the morning. Self-inflicted injury, I know.
Today I must put the house to rights after a busy week and then I shall reward myself by catching up with all your doings. I hope all is good and that the sun is shining in you ☀️🦋🎶

Good Morning from a mild dull but dry Co Armagh,
My middle son is suffering from hay fever, he sniffed and sneezed during his visit last evening ,
he had been waiting for a phone consultation with the gp about blood tests , no call , but a txt to say there were slight signs of raised cholesterol but no tablets were necessary , he was relieved , but he had been waiting all day hoping to talk to the gp !
Daughter on hols in Donegal is enjoying it , so might extend her stay
I’ll do some more deadheading and weeding if the promised rain holds off ! Or I might resume sloth mode !

Good morning from a sunny and warm East Midlands. I’m meeting my son and grandson for a birthday breakfast for my son’s birthday tomorrow. He is 50 years old. I thought today was the longest day but it turns out that it was yesterday. Have the best day that you can have.

Good morning from a warm Durham. Yesterday was lovely weather wise, so hoping for the same today. A good start.
I’ll take Little Dog back this afternoon when DD2 and I have nail appointments, then I’ll look after DGS2 for a couple of hours.
I have vouchers for a local pub, so friend and I are eating there tonight.

Pleased to hear the DDs are improving Oops and Gingster
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a mild NE, well it must be as the heating hasn't come on.
Had a busier day than anticipated yesterday, washed the front and back doormats first thing to give them a chance of drying I the garden.
While I was in the garden I noticed the weeds on the patio so decided to spray them, went into the front garden and continued spraying.
In the afternoon I cleaned the downstairs windows.

Today I am going out for lunch with my friend, I will be able to wear something summery and my sandals at last.

Enjoy the Peak District grandMattie, I was there in May but the weather wasn't too good. I enjoyed Bakewell but it was very busy because we went on a Monday and it was market day which meant parking was more difficult.

Have a good day everyone.

Good news Gingster for your DD 👍

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Sar53 🎂🍾🥂🎉

Wow this last year has flown by so quickly.

GrannySomerset Fri 21-Jun-24 08:37:47

High cloud and still cool but oldies’ coffee morning will be outdoors so must layer up appropriately. Nothing scheduled but as I did virtually nothing useful yesterday must do better today or total indolence will take over. Garden looking nice so a bit of pottering there I think.

Morning Mick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset, sun forecast later.

Yesterday we enjoyed a lovely sunny morning moving from bench to bench on the sea front, people watching and enjoying hay fever respite. I can’t get it under control this year. Stayed for lunch, an unexpected treat

Ironing this morning, TaiChi this afternoon. May be best if I leave before the final relaxation, sneezing won’t be welcome.

There’s a lot of family worry at the moment, our daughter in laws lovely Mum is very poorly, three operations in three days.
They are gamely pressing on with a weekend of birthday celebrations for our grandson, we’ll join them on Sunday and can only hope the news will be better and the family will be able to relax for a while.

A very happy birthday sar. It sounds a good day ahead. I’m pleased you’ll have a break grandmattie, you deserve it for sure.

Hope Friday is kind to us all.

Good morning from Guernsey, and a Happy Birthday Sar.
I’m heading off to work ( unpaid but still work) so will miss most of the beautiful sunshine. Have a great weekend all.

Morning, all! It's a rainy day on the Boggy Brae. There is a choice of housework or working on a painting. Bet no-one can guess which will win. Meanwhile a mug of cocoa calls...

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Art then dentist today, but my sprained side doesn’t seem to be improving so not sure what to do, quite bad spasms of pain…
Might carry on as usual and frightened to miss my dentist appointment for fear of losing further appointments. We are warned this could happen.

Lovely photos today, happy birthday Sar, something to look forward to grandmattie and thoughts to all with worries 🌺

Good morning from another sunny Suffolk where we are promised sunshine all day. I’m meeting a friend at the coast for coffee,a walk along the prom and lunch in a beach cafe….our favourite walk in this weather.

The DH of another friend was taken into hospital yesterday suddenly. She doesn’t drive and the hospital is about 15 miles away. Luckily I have a quiet weekend so can help with lifts which she will need especially on Sunday as no buses.

GM we love Derbyshire and have spent several family holidays there. As well as wonderful scenery,pretty villages and friendly people, you might like a visit to Eyam,the plague village. There is a very interesting exhibition of the history of the village in the church (at least there was several years ago when we last visited).

Good morning from sunny blue sky in Cambridgeshire. We are meeting friends in London for the day so off to catch the early ish train!

Will catch up on all posts later.
Wishing you all a good day

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞Northampton; hooray, it is a dry day and my gardener is coming! Not sure how many hours he's booked in for, but the.garden should look better at the end of it.

Another lovely day yesterday, housework first, then coffee in the garden; went to a talk on Living with Arthritis after lunch which was interesting. Found out that arthritis cannot be prevented, but the more active you can be the better. Was recommended a squishy ball to keep my fingers moving.
Had a nice walk home (all downhill!) with a friend.
Sat in the garden again and continued with my book.

No plans for today apart from the gardener.

Enjoy the sunshine everyone!
