Good Morning Sunday 21st July 2024

Good morning from a dull Cambs, it was another very warm night. A quiet day today just us and the garden which will be lovely.

Off to the Norfolk coast tomorrow for two days with DD2 her other half and the little ones and hoping the weather will be kind to us.

Hoping everyone has a good Sunday

Good morning from bright but cloudy south Glos where yesterday’s rain was very welcome.
DS and his family are here, it’s lovely catching up with them.
We had a lovely lunch at a pub in the next village, it’s up for new management so I do hope it doesn’t change too much.
Today we’ll see what happens!
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning from an overcast W Kent. I am cooking lunch for 12 with help from DD1. She is off home tomorrow but we have enjoyed having her and Dsil and GS4 even for a short while. DD2 did a lovely spread yesterday and we sat in her garden and enjoyed a good catch up.
Best wishes to all

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Inverness, hoping it stays dry today
A lovely surprise to catch up with your cousin gMattie
I’ve a busy few days ahead with DD1 and the DGSs visiting, I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone. I’ll be picking them up from the airport at lunchtime and then coming back here for a family afternoon as DD2 and family are also coming round. I’m hoping it stays dry and the children can all play out in the garden
I hope your hand is much better soon grammaretto, it sounds really sore
Enjoy Naples Bella and everyone else on holiday just now
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from another dull but dry day in Oxfordshire.

Nothing much happening here, so I’ll just hope that everyone enjoys their day.

Good morning from Naples where it is a pleasant 24°C at present rising to 32°C later.

Thank you Ash, the journey was straightforward after a lot of standing around waiting. We actually arrived an hour late but my niece and her husband were there waiting for me so I was very happy to see them.

Spent the rest of the day catching up and sitting in their lovely garden watching their three sweet cats playing or flaked out in the heat!

I have slept better than at home in a very comfy bed, huge room with my own en suite so my fears of disturbing anyone in the night were fruitless.

Lovely for you GM to see your cousins.

Wishing you all a lovely day.☀️

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it feels mild but we've not had too much heat thankfully

That's amazing gMattie! I only have 2 first cousins in the world. One in NZ and one in Australia. Lots of 2nd and 3rd cousins though and I borrow DH's family who live nearby.
My poor sore dog bitten hand is still very swollen and red. It's lost its wrinkles. Botox anyone! It is slowly improving with the penicillin.

My DS and family took me out to tea yesterday. The DGC are a tonic as ever. Their little dog doesn't bite people.
I'm glad you are feeling well Mick
Hoping everyone has a good day.

Good morning everyone from an overcast and damp Northampton, although my BBC weather app says it should be bright and sunny....

Had a nice walk to the garden centre yesterday where I enjoyed cake and coffee before collecting my order from a retail outlet. I had a browse around the outdoor plant area and found packs of 20 bedding plants reduced to £2! So I bought a colourful pack of busy lizzies, which I planted in pots by my front door when I got home. They looked a bit leggy and limp at first, but seem to be reviving now.

Going into town to the cinema at lunchtime to see a film called 'Thelma', starting Dame Maggie Smith. Shall have a mooch around the shops afterwards, as there are one or two things I need in town.

Home to a roast pork dinner.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning from a cloudy, breezy Torbay but at least it’s not raining, unlike yesterday when it was continuous until mid afternoon.

How lovely to meet up with your cousins, grandMattie! I last saw the two with whom I have contact at my wedding to olddudders in 2015. My favourite Irish one (my father was from Holywood, N.I.) died in Canada last year.

Early service at church then a trip to Asda later to collect a kettle I’ve ordered as the switch on my current one isn’t reliable. Naturally, since the order was placed, the current (pardon the pun!) one is working most of the time!

I hope Bellasnana reached Naples without difficulty and any travellers reached destinations safely.

A blessed Sunday to all. 🦩🥰✝️💐🦩

Good morning Mick, grandMattie and all who follow, it's a warm start to the day here in the Black country after nonstop rain from early evening.
DH fishing today hence the early start, I have no plans as yet will see how I feel after breakfast.
How lovely to meet up with a cousin I could pass mine in the street and not know, I have spent more time with a distant cousin from Canada than my home grown ones some who I have never met.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a dawning Bristol. No rain (what we had yesterday was minute) but temperatures settling back to sub-20C.
I had an extraordinary encounter yesterday. I went to DD’s church to support her open church/tower visits, part of the Bristol Harbour Festival. She was very surprised to see (must have forgotten that I said would go) and said that she had just texted me. She then ran out of the church and shouted to someone “Mum’s here”!. The woman turned round and came back. She is only a first cousin last seen about 30 years ago and lost touch. I must mention that I have over 40 first cousins, all over the world; keeping contact is hard as I have never met most of them…
So this cousin lives in nearby Cleveden and is keen to renew acquaintance. Her mother, my aunt, was very kind to me when I first came to England.
Curiously, in the evening at DD’s, we were joined by another first cousin, this time fromNZ. She was very kind to DD’s dDD and family when they went on DD’s sabbatical, only to be cut short by lockdown.
Quiet day today, church then rest, 8 think. I had another dreadful night and the coming week is set to be very busy.
Have @ gentle day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
