Good Morning Sunday 28th July 2024

Good morning from a sunny W Kent. Enjoyed a visit from DD2 yesterday along with DGD, they had been shopping for their holiday next week.
I then had a tidy up in the kitchen which I hope to finish today. Lunch and then a sit in the garden.
Best wishes

Glorious morning which is probably why I am awake so early. Yesterday DGD1 and I cleared out the airing cupboard and I have a pile to go to a charity shop and two bags for the tip and I now know where everything is and can easily reach the most regularly used stuff, so a good job done. Much Olympic watching too, leisurely chatting and some eating made it a good day. Church this morning and doing teas at a church concert this afternoon which F will enjoy as a change from her normal life - or so she says!

Good morning from sunny south Glos, it’s warm already (17°)
I had a very relaxing day yesterday, I did some tidying of the front borders, including scattering foxglove seeds from this year’s plants), cut back several perennials. Then I sorted out the lower patio in the back garden where things had been dumped while the summerhouse building is underway- the carpenter won’t be back to finish it just yet- including heaving a tub of growing runner bears. DH wasn’t around so that wasn’t the cleverest thing I did, I tweaked my back 🤬
Anyway, everything looks much tidier so I spent several hours sitting outside crocheting my throw and listening to podcasts.
DDog and I went for a late wander, all very peaceful.
Today absolutely nothing planned other than more enjoying the garden!
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning from a sunny mid Essex, another warm day forecast. Yesterday was a good day, pottered in the garden and half filled the wheelie bin with weeds and plants that had finished flowering & spreading seed everywhere.
Will go for a walk this morning before it gets too warm, then will pack ready for my stay at DD1’s tomorrow.
Maybe sit in the sun later, enjoying a slightly tidier garden!
Have a good day everyone, may those with worries and sadness find a little comfort.

Good morning from dry and bright South Lanarkshire.

Yesterday I watched the livestream of the netball tournament in which my DGD was playing, it lasted all day but I dipped in and out, only watching her games. Unfortunately the team were outplayed but it was a great experience for them.

DH is doing well, exercising, elevating, icing, and walking around as much as he can. He’s managing the pain too, just needs to work on his patience now.

I’ll go to Mass and pick up the Sunday paper on my way home and I think DD may pop over at some point today, perhaps bringing a child or two with her.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from Malta where it feels a lot hotter and more humid than it did on the outskirts of Naples.

I had an uneventful journey back although we took off an hour late so I spent more time hanging around at the airport than I did flying. It was only an hour’s flight, full of young Italians coming over to party I’m guessing.,

This morning I must collect my dog from the kennels, then the boys are coming over. I didn’t see them yesterday as I wanted to unpack, do laundry etc. I find it takes a bit of time to ease back into the normal routine after a spell away.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday.☀️

Good morning from lovely sunny s somerset

I did a very good clean in my sewing room yesterday and suddenly there is more open space. I have made a to-do list for sewing, Next month I want to make a breathable/showerproof jacket for autumn cycling and have the fluorescent fabric ready for that

Today needs to be a long cycle ride so I will take my old e bike out, I still need to work on it as it just gives pushes when it senses that I struggle but it has a `push` limit and I do the rest.

I unearthed my stash of waxed canvas and bag-making stuff and intend to temporarily re-arrange my living room this afternoon as my other vintage sewing machine needs a spin. I have a couple of things to move so I can open the sewing cabinet ready to use. First I will need to use some basting stitches etc to ensure that the moving parts keep moving, that is why I rotate my machine usage

I quickly cut my first bag out last night, it only takes bits of the waxed canvas. Francli pocket field bag in navy, then another in pink. I find myself using my mustard francli often, when I just need to carry a card, keys and a tissue.

Have a good day

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

I had a lovely time in London yesterday with younger son. Lunch, the Summer Exhibition and Knickerbocker Glory at Fortnum’s!

A quieter day today. I’ve been selling things on Vinted and need to sort out my banking details. Probably strawberry crumble for pudding but I haven’t sorted out a main course yet.

OH will visit his bees today. They had produced about 70 jars of honey last week, which is currently in two enormous containers. We need to transfer it to the jars at some point.

Have a good Sunday everyone.

Island = SiL 😡

Good morning from a sunny Bristol.
We too have had real problems with tv reception last evening, together with the third power cut and consequent digging, etc., this month.
I had a surprising day yesterday. When I came home from church cleaning and coffee, I saw a message from DS inviting me to cake, then dinner. It was his 46th birthday (where has time gone?) but I didn’t expect to see him.
I tootled off to Clifton, and shared a slice of chocolate cake with the family. Island Iris were off to the pictures; DD, DS and I walked the mile to the Persian restaurant. Delicious food - Middle Eastern food is my absolute favourite.
Home by bus, I was on my usual bus route. It also meant that the AC could drink without worrying about driving me home. The power had been restored in my section, but still no tv reception. I was tired so went to bed and read.
Today, church, then DS is coming to dinner and night. He is flying back to India tomorrow first thing. Sad but expected. I have seen much less of him this time - I mustn’t be greedy.
Have a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a beautiful, bright, sunny Torbay.

The performance of 9 to 5 went well with some outstanding singing from soloists and chorus. The theatre in Teignmouth was almost full which was good on a sunny Saturday by the sea! Torquay was busy when I came home as the Gulls had been playing a friendly match against Plymouth Argyle, which was won by the visitors.

Early church service then domestic duties beckon although the sunshine might tempt me on to the Downs.

A blessed Sunday to you all. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩
