Good Morning Thursday 27th June 2024

Just wanted to wish Mizuna well for her hip op tomorrow.

And ‘Happy Birthday’ to Mr MD. I hope he is appreciative of the Chelsea buns - what a lucky man 😊

Just returned from an early trip to the big Sainsbury’s.

All windows and doors are open, there is a nice breeze.

I am interviewing a potential new cleaner this afternoon (or should that be they are interviewing me 🤣)

Will now read your posts 🙋‍♀️

Good Morning from a breezy cooler Co Armagh
Been to Mass ( candles were lit ) , managed the cash machine on the way home ,,
I’m phobic about it , I seem to press the wrong buttons, but just went into automatic pilot mode without agonising and all worked fine !
Wishing everyone as good as possible day x

Thank you all for your good regarding Mr MD.

He dislikes cake, so I am in the process of making his favourite Chelsea buns, despite the time consuming faff. 😍

Ekwa it's the first book only yet, although I have hopes. The actor who plays Matthew Shardlake is excellent and it also stars Sean Bean. Can I say more?😂 Happy birthday to MrMD

Bright and breezy but cooler in Co Durham.
Met an old friend last night. We have known each other forever. She lives in the south but comes ‘home’ to see family periodically. We talked nonstop for over three hours.
Mizuna hope all goes well tomorrow.
Happy Birthday, MrMarydoll
Wishing safe travels to those on the move and hope our poorlies are improving quickly.

Thanks, Grandmabatty. Sadly, I don’t have Disney but I’ll have to investigate. Good to know someone has done them.

Good morning 🌄

Good morning from a sunny and dry East Midlands. A bit cooler today. A bit of gardening and housework today.

Sorry grandMattie, see that you've already said Anne Patchett

It is, blue, got the wrong Ann! Apologies…

All best wishes for your ok Mizuna.

Happy birthday to *Mr Marydoll*!

St Mungo is in the High Street near the Cathedral which was closing as we arrived so we didn't see inside.
We saw Glasgow's oldest house though, Provands Lordship, with its medicinal garden.

Best wishes for the op Mizuna

Happy travels Baubles and anyone else who's going away on their holidays.

Good morning everyone from a cloudier and cooler Northampton, thank goodness; seems as though it will be a more comfortable temperature today.

Yesterday morning was interesting; I had heard (on local radio) about a walk-in mole/skin cancer clinic yesterday at a surgery the other side of town, open to anyone, no appointment necessary. The world and his wife had heard about it too! I decided to go, not that I had anything particularly troubling - but I have spent 10 years living in the tropics - Singapore and Northern Australia. There was a very long queue which I joined and after an hour was seen by one of three specialist doctors who gave everything a good check and was pronounced fine with nothing to worry about. Noticed that a few people were getting referral letters to have something looked at more closely. It shows that this sort of clinic is popular and obviously needed.

Had a coffee and did a bit of shopping in town on the way home.
Spent the afternoon in my garden shady spot and finished my book club book for next month.
GrandMattie, hope you are enjoying 'The Dutch House', but I thought it was by Anne Patchett? Read it for book club a couple of years ago.

Sainsbury's delivery later this morning, then I may hop on the bus this afternoon and go to the shops.

Hope today's cooler temperature is more pleasant for all.

Ekwa if you have the Disney channel, there's an excellent series of the first Shardlake novels. There are some differences, but it's mainly true to the book

Good morning Mick and everyone from a Carlisle of sun and cloud. We have had a shower overnight so no watering duties today.
I pottered in the garden yesterday afternoon but not for long, the heat was ferocious...for me. It was a mere 24°C. I mostly read my new book, I've started on the Shardlake novels which I'm enjoying although the Tudors haven't been my favourite period.
Today, some gentle pottering first thing then I am off to Newcastle at lunch time, rather unexpectedly as I am filling a cancelled medical appoinment only arranged last evening.

Good luck Mizuna, I hope you'll soon be running around!

Have a good day everyone.

Grey skies and blessedly lower temperature this morning so it looks as if we have had summer for now. Good sing and enjoyable WI meal yesterday, book group here this morning and perhaps some dead heading if it stays dry. Thinking of Mizuna and hoping everything goes to plan tomorrow.

Happy Birthday to MrDoll

Good morning everyone from a cooler Severnside.
I did several pottering jobs yesterday before showering. I then had a late lunch and chilled out in the draught from a window.

I have my car aircon on all the time. I like the cabin to feel cool when I’m driving. I’d probably nod off otherwise.

I hope all goes well for your operation and recovery Mizuna.

Wishing a Happy Birthday to MrDoll 🎂🎁

Good morning from another warm and sunny Black Country.

It was so hot yesterday. My friend and I travelled to Bewdley on the bus. Lovely walk along the river, then lunch and a mooch around the town.

My DGD2 had her Prom last night. DD sent photo's of her in her dress and then with her group of friends. They all looked stunning! I am sure they had a lovely time

Today I am going over to pick her up from her friends house, where she stayed overnight. Take her home to stay the afternoon ready to take her to a shift at a pub, which is too far for her to walk there. Then take her sister to school where she is in her play tonight.

When DGD finishes at 9pm she is coming home with me to stay overnight, as she has a taster day at our local college tomorrow. I will walk with her in the morning to show her the way. It will be quite a long journey for her is she starts at this college in September. I can see many overnight stays here

Spoke to my Brother yesterday, he has been quite poorly with Covid for over 2 weeks now! It is now causing pain in his back (a common symptom apparently). Tomorrow will be 3 weeks! SIL has it too, but not quite so bad.

Wishing you all a lovely day

All the best for tomorrow, Mizuna. It’ll be good to be bionic,won’t it?

Mizuna all the best for tomorrow.
Happy birthday Mr Marydoll 🍺🎂🎉.

I hope all goes well for you tomorrow Mizuna x

Just read back, good luck for tomorrow Mizuna, you’ve had such a wait with no complaints.

Grammaretto where is that great tenement painting? It’s lovely.

Morning from a cooler S Hants, yesterday was very sticky.
Safe journey Baubles
Nearly there Mizuna 🙂
Off to a new podiatrist this morning, checking only.
We’ve been eating our new potatoes the last couple of days with bbq, so tasty.
I hope the poorly daughters are much improved.
