Good Morning Sunday 30th June 2024

Marydoll the bath erm! Hope the pain goes off soon.
Lovely flower arrangement gM

Good morning all . It’s a bit dull here in Essex but I’m enjoying the coolness (I know I’m strange) ☺️.

Yesterday we watched the tennis final from Eastbourne. So good! How they play in such heat I’ll never know. Two spectators had to be stretchered out at different times. 🥵.

Today I’ll wait to hear if Dd is coming here and I’ll take little DGD for her swimming lesson. She’s gone up a class but the teacher pushed her down to the bottom to pick up weights and she didn’t like that. It’s put her off and made her nervous. Why would you do that.! 😠.

Mizuna I hope the pain gets under control and you can come home soon to your magical patio. 🤞.

Gm gorgeous flower arrangement.

Marydoll ooo that must have given you a shock . Take it easy.

Georgesgran those school fetes cost you an arm and a leg. They must make a fortune. 💷.

Wishing you all a good day 🌸

Good morning from a dull cooler Suffolk but no rain yet. It sounds as though the sun has disappeared from most of the country.

Yesterday we went to Dunwich with the dog for our morning walk where,at 10am the beach car park was as full as as a day in the summer holidays with a large number of motor homes as well as cars. We are always surprised that most people sit on the beach just a few yards from the path and if you walk a few hundred yards along the beach,there are only a few people fishing or walking.

Coffee and cake at our cafe Gingster which was peaceful and quiet although they’d had a very busy day on Friday as they had sold out of cake and the freshly baked ones were just appearing.

Today a visit by DS and family but not DGD1 who will be working. She’s anxious to earn as much money as possible before heading off to University( A level results dependent!) in September.

Hope all those in pain have a comfortable day.

Good morning Mick and everyone from greyish Carlisle.

I too am following the Tour, Mick, how painful to see Mark Cavendish struggling in the heat of Italy yesterday...I hope he gets over it.

Yesterday was the usual Saturday morning...nipping out to Sainsbury's and then a long phone chat with my sister down south. Then I mowed the front lawn, still little growth except for flower stalks. After lunch I moved a little conifer into the spot where I'd removed a struggling rose. There's a lot of black spot about this year probably because of all the rain which one or two other things are sulking about too.
This gives me a reason to head for the garden centre later, I have spots to fill. Well that is the real reason, not the free cake I know is on offer....

You are talented in the flower arranging department as well grandMattie!

Wishing you a speedy exit Mizuna, no place like home in spite of your good experience with the NHS.

have a good day everyone.

Morning all, the sun is trying to come out however, there are a lot of clouds.

Not sure what the plan is today, might have another lazy one (yesterday consisted of, reading, watching Glastonbury, a couple of glasses of rosé finished off by watching The Boat that Rocked)

Mizuna hope your pain lessens in the coming days 💐

Beautiful flowers and quilt grandMattie 👍

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday 🙋‍♀️

Good morning Michael and all GNs. I woke up late this morning. It’s dry in South Yorkshire with sun breaking through now and again, but I fancy we might have had some rain overnight. I cut the front lawn and did rather a lot of weeding yesterday which left me drained. Today I plan to start cutting the back lawn if the weather holds. We’ll see. Other than that, and change my bed linen, I don’t plan to do a lot.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a cloudy Black Country, where it rained overnight.

Busy day yesterday. Arrived home late morning from our overnight stay in a Hotel after DIL's 50th party Friday night. Then over to see DGD4 in her school play. Time to take her home to find I had a flat tyre! There was a nail in it. SIL came over and re-inflated, and it has stayed up, but need to go to a tyre place today, to either have it fixed or a new tyre.

Hoping to cut lawn today and a general tidy up. BBQ for our meal tonight. Sun is trying to peep out now!

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy Northampton, but dry.

A lovely lunch yesterday with the family to celebrate younger DGD's 14th birthday 🎂. Sat in their garden, drank fizz and wine and chatted. And also had chocolate cake....
Didn't do much else when I got home except watch some tv (definitely not football!).

It is our village fun day today, so I may go to that; the only problem being that our bus to the village doesn't run on a Sunday and it is a good 40 minute walk all uphill. However the bus in the opposite direction runs, so I may get that which would make it only a 15 minute walk at the other end which is more doable for me.

Wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

Good morning from a very dull & cool Sefton. It has just started to drizzle. What a disappointing summer we are having here in the north west. The weeds are loving it. It poured all morning yesterday so cancelled our day out at the flower show. So disappointed but just couldn't face getting wet & probably muddy as well. We did make it to our social evening with the Lions club. Absolutely no plans for today. Will have a pottering day & slow cook a large fruity lamb casserole. There should be enough for dinner & some to freeze.
Ouch Marydoll. Surely everyone knows the good old fashioned remedy for a bang on the head is a lie in the bath🫤.....just out of interest, would that suggestion have been with or without hot water!?🤔 Wishing you & everyone a quiet peaceful Sunday.

Good morning from a cooler NE, the heating came on.
Yesterday was damp and overcast all day.
I decided not to go to GD's concert as it was an outdoor one, I am getting too old for standing around in the rain. When I spoke to DS later he said they had moved into the sports hall.
I was in bed at midnight when I started getting messages from GD1 who was just in from her summer job. She is working as a waitress at a boutique hotel. She said her feet were really hurting as they asked her to wear ballet pumps, she normally wears sensible shoes with considerable soles.
It had been her college prom the night before and she sent a photo of her in an elegant black strapless dress.

Today DD and SIL are visiting and will be staying for dinner, need to check the wine cellar for a decent bottle, don't drink plonk when they are here.
They were out to dinner last night with his brother whose 65th birthday it was. DD used to play in a band with him so I knew him before I met SIL. Dear me the years have flown by.

Thinking of Mizuna.

Good morning Mick and all. Goodness it's chilly on the Angus coast today! But at least the wind has died back - grateful for small mercies.
Mizuna your little patio looks so inviting. I hope they get your pain 'managed' quickly so that you can get back to it. Meanwhile, enjoy that room service 😉
Love your flower arrangement grandmattie, and the memory quilt which is such a lovely idea.
I hope your head doesn't feel too tender today Marydoll.
I had a very lazy day yesterday, reading my book, and it looks as if today will be much the same. I'm glad some of you are enjoying all the sport and Glastonbury on TV ......... I personally think it's a bit of an overkill. Mutter mutter.
So, nothing to report from here and off I go for another layer of winter woolies. Have a lovely day everyone x

Good Morning from a breezy dull Co Armagh, I hope it brightens later ! A bbq is planned. !
I love the flowers and the quilt is very evocative grandMattie* Marydoll ! How painful , please take it easy xx

Beautiful flowers GM - you are such a talented lady.
Ouch MD - be careful and check for an egg on your head! Best not worry about a bath! and hopefully the pain will ease quickly
