Morning all, I am off to a beach front hotel to their spa this morning (Mother’s Day gift). The nearly 16yr old will walk along to join me for lunch, then it’s back to DS’s to watch him and his brother for a few days (DS and wife are winging their way to Ibiza)

The weather is looking hopeful so I shall enjoy the beach whilst I am so close to it.
DH will be home alone and on Grandpa duty for The Imp and 9yr old.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

Up and ready early as we have the plumber coming to replace the ensuite toilet which was leaking. We also have a technician coming to try fitting a charging point for the new car - the last one broke 2 drills trying to get through the granite. We did warn them.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a beautiful sunny south Glos, not a cloud in the sky 🌞
I gave the bathroom a thorough clean yesterday, not that it was grubby, because I dropped a tin of talc and the top came off…..
It went everywhere 🙄
DH is off to DD’s tomorrow so I need to get him to sort out a few things before DS, DDIL and the DGCs come on Friday for the weekend. The garden chair cushions need excavating from the attic and the canopy attached., the lawns mowed and his ruddy kayak put away 🤬 It’s currently blocking the path down the garden.
It looks like the weather’s bucking up for the next couple of days but thankfully not anywhere near the temperature you’re getting Bellasnana, I honestly couldn’t live somewhere hot!

Good morning from an overcast Cornwall. 42° Bellasnana! I wilt at anything over 22!

This brand new bundle of fluff appeared on my balcony yesterday; the greenery is chives so you can see how small he is. Robins are so irresistible. 😍

My daughter-in-law came with lunch and we talked and talked. Later my son came and checked out my laptop because his is playing up and he has lots of photos to edit. Mine isn't up to the job so he's hiring another until Apple can (expensively) mend his. Today I'm taking a longish bus trip, either to Newquay or Penzance.

Good morning from Malta where the heat is unbearable at the moment. Temperature yesterday reached 42°C.🥵

Today is my son’s 33rd birthday. He was my ‘baby’ coming after three older sisters and he has turned into a lovely man. How fast the years fly, it seems no time since he was born.

Enjoyed my time with the boys yesterday, I didn’t manage to watch Rafa but it didn’t matter as time spent with them is precious.

If I can survive the heat I will walk up to the bank today as I’ve some things to discuss that need a human being to help me with as opposed to struggling on line.

Wishing you all a good day whatever you are doing.☀️

Good morning from South Lanarkshire where the sky is looking a little overcast again.

I hope your physio session helps Ash.

We’ve to be at DD’s house early as DS out Law is going to watch the Open at Troon today so we get to spend the whole day with the children. I think a couple of them have sewing tasks for me.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from dry warm and sunny s somerset

It was very peasing to read your post Mick, your health seems to be definitely on the right track

I finished the welt pockets after almost binning the coat several times, you have to cut into the garment. It took me eight hours and a lot of unpicking but I did it. I gave my last one to the salvation army as it became too big for me. I had that coat for 10 years and loved it, so I decided to make another but smaller.

No appointments this week so I am definitely off out to enjoy the beautiful countryside, without spending any money. I wear a buff over nose, ears and mouth as a bumble bee flew into my mouth when cycling in 2014. Since then I carry a pack of generic steroid pills and protect my airways with the buff

The garden looks glorious, a mass of yellow/purple/white mainly provided by sedums as ground cover. I dare not stand on it during the day as it is bee and wasp heaven

Have a good day

Good morning from a sunny Torbay.

I’m sorry you have a long wait for the endoscopy, Mick but the other test results sound reassuring.

I have a physio session at the hospital today regarding my right knee. Unfortunately, I haven’t done well with the exercises as I injured my right ankle (possibly sprained) back in May on our cruise and it’s put everything out of kilter on that leg. The joys…!

Happy hump day, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a sunny Bristol. My washing should dry in no time.
Gods news about your health, Mick.
I took yesterday quietly. Walked to Tesco but took a taxi back. Interest afternoon, I had my “salon”; my two neighbours and me having our hair cut.
This morning, I’ve got a church wrinkly visiting to see how the system works in the complex. He is a delightful man and I really enjoy his company.
In the afternoon, there is a women’s guild meeting. No idea what the talk is about; the last one was excellent.
Carpe diem, dear friends 🦩🦩🦩🦩
