Good Morning Wednesday 17th July 2024

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Good news on the health front Mick let's hope the wait for endoscopy not to long.
I'm on the hunt for a birthday present today while DH makes the most of the sunshine and paints the side entrance door.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning all and the sun is shining here at the Suffolk coast.
It’s dgd1’s 22nd birthday today and she’s meeting her dad in London for the day.

Yesterday was good. Our new bed arrived early and was delivered by a young husband and wife team . They were delightful, smiley and speedy.
As we looked out a little later, there stood our situpon mower all repaired and ready . Hoorah!

Our friends came late afternoon for tea and cake and we sat in the summerhouse as we had a few mini showers.

Today we’ll shop and our other friends are coming for a meal this evening. Something simple ! It’s nice to have visitors while we’re here.

Bellasnanna I wouldn’t be able to cope in that heat. I expect you’re used to it and know how to deal with it, but I think I’d shrivel up and die. Take care.

Your garden sounds lovely Liberty - peaceful.

GG I know just the place . Lovely for a Spa and lunch. Enjoy your mini ‘holiday’.

Take care all 🌸

Lovely quilt, stillearning. Log cabin pattern. I don’t like doing that pattern…. I have tried a few times, but it’s not for me!

I forgot to say in my earlier post that it’s The Imp’s last day at pre-school today, I cannot believe that he is off to big school in September as is his cousin (DS4’s youngest)

I am a little bit sad, and excited at the same time for them both, a new era, all GC at school or college now here in the UK from September 😢

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
Glad to hear you're getting on well Mick.

I've had my two sons and my granddaughter here for the weekend, my birthday treat. We seem to have spent the days stuffing ourselves in pubs and restaurants! One had such superb meat pies that surplus ones were begged from the kitchen to take home. They made a good accompaniment to the footie in the evening along with all the beer we'd laid in.
They all departed Monday and Tuesday and now I shall be tackling a mountain of bedding and towels, it's a great day for getting them dry.
Later, I hope to be planting out in the garden. We did manage to fit in a garden centre and, amongst other items, I bought a tray of runner beans to replace the ones destroyed by the slugs.

Wishing you all an enjoyable day.

Beautiful morning to lift the spirits. Last singing session till September this afternoon and I must embark on a bit of a tidy up before the family arrives at the weekend. How do I manage to have stuff in every bedroom when there is only me in the house? It’s a mystery. Must make the most of the couple of nicer days before the rain returns so some outside pottering will be needed too. Hope the day is kind to everyone.

Ah Marydoll you could have joined us. Stilllearning and I met for coffee in the converted church in Buchanan street.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton! Have just whipped the sheets etc off the bed and they are in the machine. Have also just put 5 portions of Bolognese in the freezer, made in the slow cooker yesterday - it was delicious!

The rain had cleared up by yesterday afternoon and I was able to join the walking group, and managed three miles, despite a very overgrown footpath. Enjoyed coffee and home-made cake afterwards.

Sadly our planned ladies' wine club will not be going ahead this evening; our hostess has just messaged everyone to say she is sitting in A&E (and has been all night) with possibly an inflamed gall bladder, so she has cancelled; she is waiting to see a surgeon at the moment. Hoping she feels better soon.

So now I have no plans for today, so think I will have an afternoon sitting in the garden reading.

Hope all get to enjoy the sunshine 🌞🌞 today!

Oh, I would have loved that! 🥰

Another time maybe. X
