Good Morning Thursday 4th July 2024

Morning from South Lanarkshire, cold but dry at the moment.
Good you have family around today grandMattie

This morning, chiropodist, voting, then into Glasgow to meet two former colleagues for lunch in Princes Square. They’re lovely people and I haven’t seen either of them for ages (years) so I’m looking forward to that very much.

And there’s the rain🥺. And the wind.

Wishing everyone the best day possible!

Morning all

Sending you a (((hug))) grandMattie

The sun is out but it’s a bit chilly 16°. The new cleaning ladies are here first thing. Then I have to vote, depending on how my knee feels/behaves I need to go to
M & S Food Hall as the fridge is empty.

Hope your DD feels better soon Gingster

Have a good day 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a sunny but chilly feeling Suffolk. For reasons which I can’t remember,I registered for a postal vote before the last local elections so my vote went off a couple of weeks ago.

DH will go and cast his before we go out for a walk with the dog which we will probably start from the village hall which is the polling station.

I remember years ago going to election parties at the home of friends where we’d stay up all night watching the news on tv,and then going into work on the Friday! We’ll wait for the exit polls and then call it a night.

gMthinking of you and others with sadness in your hearts and those who are unwell.

Good Morning no idea of the weather ! Mass this am , I’ll vote on the way home
Get milk in the local shop

Marydoll please write a book !

Good morning from a sunny, windy and chilly Oxfordshire.

We did didn’t get to Northampton yesterday as MrOops wasn’t feeling too good, we were going to go today, but thanks to Mick and his warning about the A 43 we will shelve it until next week, you’ve saved us from a huge diversion Mick, so thank you.

So, voting, then a spot of gardening as it rained yesterday, Wimbledon and a good book.

Have a good day everyone, hope all the poorlies get well soon.

Marydoll I'm surprised that your DH isn't under the patio! 😂 How frustrating for you. Cornergran I know you aren't posting but I hope you are reading. You are missed here and in the kitchen, as is Urmston.

Good morning all it’s a glorious sunny , windy and going to be warm today on the east coast of Fife Bellasnana I can’t believe the boys are that age already they’re going to love the nursery.
I’m hoping to be able to sit in the conservatory looking out into the garden listening and watching the birds today. I’ll even have my breakfast of bacon and eggs there

Have a good day my friends my postal vote is away 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 may the best person win I just home it’s not Labour 🥲🥲🥲

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Washing is on , and I shall mow the lawns later.
Postal vote went off a few weeks ago.

Have a great day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Just received a photo from the DGDs. Iris is spending the day at secondary school. Doesn’t time fly?

Thank you for all your good wishes. Bittersweet day, it is…

MD, what a mess for you. I hope it isn’t too difficult and exhausting to sort out.

Bellasnana, anxiety postponed!

Good morning all. Losing my post once was bad enough but twice!!*!
Have a good day everyone - I shall take my obviously dyslexic fingers elsewhere!

Good morning Mick and everyone from cool, grey and showery Carlisle. The heating has kicked in as it did last night too. It's been back to sweaters, gilets and warm nightwear!

Yesterday's visit to town for a dress was successful. I'd been eyeing up a particular one for weeks and decided it was time to try it on. Just in time...only one in my size left but I was lucky I didn't buy it sooner as it was now on sale with a good saving.
However, if the weather doesn't warm up, it will hang in my wardrobe for the indefinite future.
It was back to the ironing and then I hung a picture which has been sitting around for a mere six months waiting for me to decide where it would be best. The donor is visiting next week or it could have been another six months.

Today, I shall look at my to-do list and see if anything takes my fancy...or not. Or I could catch up with my lengthening reading pile. What I really want to do is to be outside, gardening or walking, there's still hope with this changeable weather.

Two years already grandMattie ! .

And the best possible day to you all.

Good morning from a cool and very windy NE, the heating is on again.
Sister and BIL took me shopping, only needed couple of things.
Today I need to start packing for my holiday but I am having difficulty deciding which clothes, the forecast is for rain nearly every day and not the temperature you would expect in July.
Thinking of grandMattie 💐

Good morning from County Mayo, where it’s cloudy but the sun is trying to break through.

Yesterday’s visit was to Galway. The imposing Cathedral was a highlight, the organist was practicing for the evening concert which would have been wonderful I’m sure.

It’ll be a quiet day today, I think a pootle around the town then a walk on one of the fabulous beaches. The two sportiest DGDs are talking about donning their wetsuits for swimming.

How annoying for you Marydoll, hope you manage to sort it all out.

Bellasnana, hope your DGS feels better soon, will that mean another couple of days at home for the boys?

A poignant day gMattie.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from a windy Durham, although it’s bright and sunny.
My friend who is having family problems has postponed our coffee today until tomorrow. She’s desperate to ge some things in place before her holidays. So, I’m going back to the local garden centre for some bits and bobs I saw there yesterday and didn’t get.
Chiropodist in the afternoon and walk Little Dog later - I might keep him overnight again.
Postal voted a while back.
💐gM and MD whose patience must be stretched, despite MrMD being a keeper!
Best wishes to all. X

Disturbed night and consequently have overslept but have no one but myself to please today so it doesn’t matter. Some washing, put petrol in car, vote, sort out some photographs and tennis to fit in, surely even I can manage that?

Poor Marydoll, her DH would try the patience of a saint - surely there is a special category of beatification for someone like her? He means well of course!

Good morning Mick and all from a blustery northwest coast.
Yesterday I thought I had a cold coming on, as the young man who did my nails on Tuesday appeared to have a cold which he said was hayfever, so fingers crossed, it hasn’t developed.

Last night to first night of a local production which I didn’t enjoy, not sure if it was me rather under the weather taking antibiotics for the tooth, or the musical, which was extremely well done. I didn’t feel like socialising with friends and ex students I know there either, unlike me. The theatre was freezing. AC on and my long summer cotton skirt didn’t hack it. Summer!?

House stuff today and a vote.
Hope you get your tv sorted Mick, it’s frustrating for you and thoughts to all🌺
