Good Morning Saturday 27th July 2024

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, not a cloud in the sky. Yesterday was similar and when I got back from ballet classes spent the afternoon reading in the garden.

Have just put a load of washing in the machine.
Then a hop on the bus later to the shops; I have quite a few things on my top-up list, and shall also have coffee and a bite to eat while I'm out.
Then back to the Saturday papers and the garden again.

Steak for dinner tonight, yummy!

Have a lovely Saturday everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from grey rainy Carlisle.
Yesterday that did clear up and I managed to get out and mow the lawn and have a good deadheading session on my front border roses. I originally bought 6, all matched for theoretical height and spread....three are as described, two have greatly exceeded expectations and I am reading the last rites over one. I did the same to one in the back a while ago and it has put on a sudden green spurt of leaves. I have always found plants respond to a good telling off!
Today I am off to the garden centre in hopes of finding some alpines to fill gaps in my gravel garden. After that, it could well be a reading day and maybe watching some of the Olympics. I hope the athletes haven't suffered from being out in the rain last night.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Good morning all from N Bucks and a clear blue sky.
Woke up late today, recovering from yesterdays 4.30 start had left me shattered for the rest of the day.
D1, GS and GD made it to Paris with only a 2 hour delay at Luton airport (“only”when did this become a virtue?) but are I hope now enjoying the delights of Disney- first time for GD and second for GS1 although he doesn’t remember the first as he was tiny)
To my huge relief, GS2 ‘s school party all seem to have made it to Copenhagen by various circuitous routs and GS and SIL are together again.
I hope the boys get a rest day today as the previous 48 hours will have been gruelling.
My plans are very unexciting, I need to fill up with petrol as I am having lunch with D3 and family in London tomorrow so I also need some chocs or something. I’ll leave off getting flowers until tomorrow morning.
But for now, it’s TIB and a gentle peruse of GN and the papers.
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Morning from bright sun in S Hants, we kept watching the ceremony last night in case we missed something, sadly not, but I enjoyed some of the music and dance.
Usual Saturday, but with our grandson staying tonight, my daughter is out for a mystery meal.
Enjoy the allotment show Mizuna my type of event.

Good morning from a dull but dry (so far) Sefton. We have just got back from a very damp holiday in Pembrokeshire which we enjoyed despite the weather. Any 'tan' marks are rust! I was hoping to get through a few loads of washing today but the forecast is for rain most of the day - due any minute apparently. Summer here on the north west coast has literally been a washout. Will unpack, sort out & put away, a quick food shop then start my new book which I didn't get to read whilst we were away - having too much fun in the rain☔️.
Enjoy your weekend.

Good Morning in dull/grey Lancs - but around 5.30am the sky was a blazing reddish orange.
Well, that's the first week of the school hols out of the way. Only 5 more to go........and the shops are stuffed with uniforms, stationery, kiddies novelty lunchboxes and windows plastered with "Back To Skool!" posters (why do shops insist on spelling it like that?)

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise northwest coast.
Just had a quiet day yesterday after the upset stomach night and dried washing in the sun and made up a bed for my DSister coming from the south on Monday. Started watching Mr.Selfridge in the evening and I’m enjoying it. I remember not really fancying it when it came out. Now I fancy going back to the shop!

Today into the city for lunch and gallery/bookshop visiting with old pianist friend. I’m wearing a cotton skirt which will go well with a downpour 🙄 This weather is a pain…

Thoughts as always to those with troubles 🌺

A very late good morning to all - I slept in! Sleep is not something I do very well these nights so it was lovely even though that may well be my sleep allowance for the next week
I join the 'not very impressed' contingent re the Games Opening Ceremony and I'm afraid I switched off.
It was Dancing GD's Graduation - much more interesting 😉 - and the photos kept coming. A perfect day for her and lots of family pride.
I can't take time now to comment on the posts I've missed or I'll be here until lunchtime, but lovely to hear holiday news. I must just say though, Karma it would be lovely to see a photo of your wonderful coat! What a clever lady you are. And Mizuna glad your baby knee is doing so well. And Grandmabatty I hope yours (and you) continues to recover.
Have a good day everybody x

Good morning, still raining here in Co Armagh even though the weather ap says it’s dry !
I’m trying to prise myself away from the Olympics on tv , I need to ar least remove the crumbs that have appeared under my chair ,
Have a lovely day

Good morning from a sunny and lovely East Midlands. Love to all.

Good afternoon now from a very sunny warm Cambridgeshire. I have only just caught up on all the Good mornings as was up early to shop for our family bbq tmrw. We are celebrating DD2 turning 40 next week Fingers crossed the weather is looking positive and the only no show at mo is GD1 who rarely turns up now she is 18 with better things to do I guess. Just about to tidy the garden up ready for tomorrow’s inspection by the family. I am banning footballs and hope GS2 will decide not to park his go cart on my plants. He is obsessed his parking spot is on top of my sedums and berginia’s. Happy days😂 He is monkey at the moment. My DD found our spare room wardrobe key under his pillow last night. He loves to take keys and hide them.

Take care everyone and have a good weekend💐
