Good Morning Saturday 20th July 2024

Enjoy your trip, Bellasnanna and birthday greetings, Bonnybanko.

Morning all from a warm but cloudy SE Essex.

Have brought the teens back here, so they can spend time with Grandpa. They have all ready planned a BBQ for this evening.

I need to pop to local shop for a few food items (have forgotten how much teen boys eat)

Happy Birthday bonnybanko 🥂🎂🍾

Enjoy your time on the Thames Sar53 how exciting 🛥️🛥️

Safe journey Bellasnanna wishing you a fabulous time in Italy

Have a great day everyone 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from an overcast W Kent.
Happy birthday Bonnybanko

Today is our 57th wedding anniversary
We are seeing most of the family during the day although I don’t think they have realised it is our anniversary. We are all getting together as DD1 and family are here from Scotland. So great for us.

Happy Birthday Bonnybanko 🥳
I like the sound of your boat trip Sar enjoy it.

Good morning Mick and all and Happy Birthday Bonnybanko and MrJ. Sorry I didn't manage to post yesterday, but I suddenly decided to take a run down to Dundee to the new M&S there. Well, not new new, but relocated from the City centre. It is 'rather nice' I have to say. But was it worth the hassle?
The hassle is caused by the fact that the only route for me, through Arbroath, has road works right through the centre of the town (and will have for 77 weeks!!!) Not only that, but there are also two other looong lots of works as well. My journey home took nearly an hour longer than it should have done. The thing that really annoyed me though was the entitled ^very many rude adjectives^ drivers who drove past the queueing traffic in the outside lane and then right round the roundabout (so that it looked as though they were going to the golf club) so that they could 'legitimately' push their way ahead of the rest of us, no doubt congratulating themselves on how smart they were. That sort of selfish behaviour makes me so cross!
Anyway, off to the beach for our monthly Tai chi on the beach so can't spend longer on here. I hope all the people with tales of health woe yesterday are much better today
Enjoy your days in the sunny warmth x

Have a wonderful boating holiday Sar and if you’ve time please let us know how you’re getting on
Happy Birthday Bonny enjoy your special day! 💐🥂🎉

Happy birthday Bonnybanko to you and your twin sister.🎂

At airport far too early. Flight 20 mins delayed so far and the place is heaving! Wish I’d brought a mask as covid is doing the rounds again here. 😷
Thanks for all the good wishes.🤗🥰

Good morning from a dry, mild but overcast NE.
We left the holiday cottage in searing heat and were glad to be in the car with air con. The journey took three and a half hours, there were no hold ups.
I unpacked but spent the rest of the day just relaxing.
I was very tired and went to bed early.
No shopping done so I will be eating out of the freezer and store cupboard, I actually create more imaginative meals if I do this.
No plans for today, perhaps catch up with some admin.
Have a good weekend.

Happy holiday Bellasnana.
Happy Birthday Bonnybanko.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
My poor sore hand from the dog bite is dominating everything. I'm now on antibiotics and I hope they kick in soon. I'm feeling very sorry for myself.
The dog owner's sister called with a card and more apologies.
DS and family will visit today. She's a nurse.

How horrid some people can be gMattie

Happy birthday bonnybanko enjoy yourself 🎂
Enjoy meandering up the river Sar
Hoping everyone has some joy today.

Good morning from a dull very muggy Stockport.
Just popping in to thank Sar for reminding me of one of my favourite books of all time…. Three Men in a boat.
I shall look it out and reread it.
I hope your trip is less “interesting “ as theirs was portrayed but thoroughly enjoyable.

P.S. Don’t forget the tin opener.

Happy travels to those on the move.

Good morning from …… guess what …… a damp CoArmagh
Looks like we’ve missed the heatwave in our valley

Good morning everyone from Severnside.

Wishing Happy Birthday’s to MrJax 🎂🍺, Bonnybanko 🎂🍷and Happy Anniversary to Mr&Mrslulu 🥂
Lots of celebrations this weekend.

I like the sound of your boat trip Sar. How far up the Thames are you planning to go? I know someone who has walked it.

I’m having some work done and it was an early finish yesterday owing to the heat. I had shopping to do but left it until today as it’s cooler. I didn’t starve.

Have a good day all with safe and successful travels for those that are 💐

Good morning from sunny Cambridgeshire. I’m late to the party but been awake since 4.30 am🙈 Just sitting in the garden having breakfast before going out on our bikes for a ride around the villages via various off road trails. Otherwise not a lot planned today except a few garden lights to hang, don’t know why I bother they never work for long🤷‍♀️ Need to wash down paintwork on garages too they suddenly appear very dirty!

We are experimenting with solar bird scarer devices (DH idea) as the pigeons, crows are sitting in our neighbours enormous conifer frightening our resident pretty little birds away. Have put up silver dangling things too. Trying to get rid of big noisy birds to encourage the littlest back in garden. Oh well will see what happens. Probably nothing!

Lots of celebrations on here today so wishing everyone a good day celebrating and happy holidays to those going away. Also anyone feeling poorly and low do hope you have a better day

Take care 💐

Good morning all from a muggy Black country.
Well I slept for 9hrs most unusual I don't like getting up this late I like an earlier start to my day, although I have no plans so it won't interfere with anything.
As it's Saturday usual full English calling so I shall catch up with everybody's happenings later.
Best wishes for anyone celebrating, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.
Have a lovely day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.
