Good Morning Wednesday 3rd July 2024

Good morning from s somerset, cool, dull and dry today

A quiet day yesterday but I never sit for long periods so I get a lot done, in small hops. Today I am finishing preps for guests

Have a good day

Good morning from a cloudy, wet Essex. I shan’t have to water the garden this evening and hopefully the water barrels are being refilled.
DD2 will be working from here for a few hours today, it will be nice to have some company, although I don’t interrupt her much.
Mizuna I hope your recovery is going well, it’s hard to be patient when you really want to get out and about again.
grandmattie I hope today is better for you.
I hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Damp and dreary in South Yorkshire. Yesterday turned out to be a better day weather wise than was promised. I am having a new back door fitted this morning, and a couple of windows repaired. Depending on how long it takes, I may or may not get to my writer’s group this afternoon. We’ll see.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Westport Co Mayo. I think there has been some rain overnight.

We spent several pleasant hours yesterday in the grounds of Westport House. The children had fun in the adventure playground and we walked the dogs all around the grounds and woodlands. Before that though, my son in law had had an early start as he was up and out just after 5am and took himself up to the top of Croagh Patrick, the local mountain which is considered to be a holy place. Neither DH nor I are up to clambering up hills at present so declined the invitation to join him. 😃

Plans for today are fairly fluid but may involve one of the beautiful local beaches and, for me, a wander around the town so that I can pop in and out of some of the little shops.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's much too cold. Brrr. 8°C
I enjoyed having almost all my family here but it's bittersweet as they disperse. The Kiwis are now with the other DGP and cousins in England.

Our American cousin has arrived and is a lovely consolation. I'll take her to yarn group today. She's brought her knitting. I doubt she was expecting such a drop in temperature.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning, it’s cloudy and cool here in south Glos but no rain yet - the garden could really do with some please!
I met my friend for coffee yesterday at the garden centre (I I only bought one plant!) , it was so lovely seeing her. We first met 50+ years ago, our children grew up together. She’s off to visit her DD (my goddaughter) in the USA soon, I might go with her next time which would be amazing. We’re also thinking about going on holiday to Ireland to see the west coast and the Giant’s Causeway sometime. Something to look forward to! I have always wanted to visit it but DH refused to go.
Today is catching up on housework and watching more of the Tour de France.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning from a damp Bristol. It has or is about to rain so is cooler.

Tours cathedral looks gorgeous, Ash. Religion is disestablished in France, so why the state is responsible for the buildings? Perhaps as National monuments?

I had a rubbish night to follow a rubbish day! It started with the tai chi leader who was even later than usual and gave us barely half a class. It does annoy me.

Came home to an expected power cut, due to work outside my window. No hot drink, cold lunch. Zoom lecture on iPad.

As I needed to go to town, I went for a bus. It was cancelled due to an accident, so stupidly,I decided to go to a different bus stop. Got Ona bus. Right bus wrong direction. After 20 minutes feeling, more and more lost, I established that I needed to get off. By then, thoroughly lost, I called an Uber, which took me to town.

It took me no more than 20 minutes to do my shopping, I had got a pensioner discount, yay, bus stop again. Blooming bus cancelled! So waited more. Finally home nearly 4 hours after leaving. Normally it would have taken me about 90 minutes.

Still no power! Then when it came back, it kept on shorting. Fortunately, the national grid chaps were still there (just) and sorted me out. I was pooped by the end.

Today is going to be a bit busy again. Can’t go on like this…

Hope today is kind to you all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all it feels much cooler here on the east coast of Fife looking out from my ring doorbell it’s appears to have been raining. I’ve lots to do today so must get a move on.

Take care my friends have a good day

Good morning from Cornwall where it's been raining and cool air is wafting through my half-opened window. Today, more of the same recovery schedule and probably quite a lot of TV. Seems so tame compared with what I usually do but I shall try to be patient. 😉 My son starts a three-day photography project on a beach, capturing watersports for PR purposes. What a life! 😁

Good morning Mick and all who follow from the Black country, it's a wet start here today but weather should improve slightly.
DH fishing so it's another early start to the day.
My plans as yet undecided will see how the weather goes, although the inside of the windows could do with cleaning.
Will be back later to read everyone's happenings enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from the Sarthe where we have a brightish start to the day.

Yesterday we spent quietly as we were both quite tired from our day out in Tours. By late afternoon it was raining so we felt lucky to have chosen Monday to go further afield.

Today our cleaner/gardener is due. As she is a friend as well, this usually entails extended chats over coffee before work begins. As a single mother to three (almost) grown up boys, life isn’t easy for her. She’s British and looks after the house, including the two cats, when DH is visiting Torbay.

Happy hump day, everyone, especially those with worries or in pain. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
