Good Morning Sunday 11th August 2024

Good afternoon,

It’s a lovely, sunny afternoon so we’ve decided to eat al fresco in a little while. I’ve set everything up, the salad, etc is prepped, so will start cooking in about half an hour. It’s not often we get the chance to eat outdoors as it either starts to rain or gets too breezy.

We didn’t get the downpour you got yesterday, greyduster, just a very brief spot which came to nought, despite the darkening sky. We’re not so very far from you, but that’s the nature of showers, I suppose.

I’m sorry to read that Ash is struggling at the moment, and send her my very best wishes 💐.

I hope that you are all managing to enjoy this pleasant afternoon. I think tomorrow is going to be too hot for me, so will make the most of what we have today.

I got that spam message too but couldn't see how to report or delete it.

Welcome Dunworking and maybe meet you in Glasgow.

I'm back from Skye and into sunshine 🌞 The greenhouse is full of cucumbers 🥒 too. I just gave one away.

Sorry to hear you are feeling low Ash and hope you'll soon be back.

Good morning Mick and all from Sunnyside northwest coast.
Arrived home last night from the south and very tired after the days of all go, but so worth it for the lovely time I had with DD and seeing other family members.

Message yesterday to say my MOT ran out on the 10th, so I am shamed today into cleaning out my car in preparation. Apart from that I haven’t the energy for much else.

It was so nice to be greeted by my cat (joint ownership with neighbour) and she was very loving and spent the evening stretched out purring on my lap.
Glad your health has stabilised Mick, thoughts to our own Ash💐and that scam is laughable 🙄🌺

Good morning from a sunny NE.
I was planning on a quiet day but had a message from my sister as soon as I woke up, she says she needs to talk to me on the phone. The last time she said that I was on the phone for 2.5 hours.
DD sent lovely photos from their holiday hotel, their room has it's own swimming pool. She is a workaholic, takes after her father, so glad she is letting her hair down.
Thinking of Ashcombe and others with troubles.

If he is reported, he will be blocked. That was the point I was making.
I appreciate that he will come back with a new user name, but let's not make it easy for him.

Unfortunately, not everyone is astute as you, Maw.

I hope people have reported him. He is a serial spammer on GN.

But nobody takes him seriously!
Clearly spam from the opening sentence- is anybody taken in?

I hope people have reported him. He is a serial spammer on GN.

Your comment:

Hi Bonnybanko, I had exactly the same pm too. Probably sent to quite a few on this site I imagine.

Morning from a sunny S Hants, children and grandchildren here later for bbq, I’m glad this heat will be brief though.
Yesterday was football, newspaper and garden pottering, cucumber anyone? after bbq today, I’ll be watering late and may dip into the closing ceremony.
Welcome to Dunworking
Ashcombe you’re in my thoughts 🌻

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle where it is 18C° and rising...to what dizzy heights I wonder?!

Yesterday was relatively quiet. I read the paper after I'd been out early for it. In the afternoon, I had a long phone chat with my sister followed by a sort out in my cluttered garage. I have offered 2 pieces of furniture to a charity but will they want them, I'm still waiting to hear back. They're getting very picky these days even with things that are as new and barely used as these are.
A quiet day today to catch up with my reading and quite possibly some baking. I still have plants to go in the garden but I think they'd prefer it if I waited for cooler conditions.

Hello to you, Dunworking!

Best wishes Ash, see you soon.

Good morning all, its 12 °C here in Glasgow.

You will be relieved to hear that I have lost my rambling novella!!

Welcome Dunworking, to this thread and the GlescaGrannies gang. I look forward to seeing you in September.

I am sending my best wishes to Ash and hope you find peace feel better soon. 💐

Enjoy all your bizzyness today, I am longing for a quiet day today, My plan is to find solace in my garden, my happy place.

Susan hasn't been posting for a while, I hope she is O.K.

Good morning everyone from an overcast grey-skied Northampton, but it looks like it will burn off later.
Just re-listening to yesterday's Sounds of the Sixties on Alexa. Loving the music and Tony Blackburn.

Enjoyed yesterday's trip to the shops; met the mum of one of DD's school friends in the M&S Cafe and had a nice chat. Bought yummy goodies for today and the forthcoming week, and a bunch of my favourite flowers, freesias.

No plans for today except more Olympics and reading in the garden.
Lamb steak and herbed new potatoes for dinner tonight.

for Ash and anyone else who needs them.

Good morning and it’s very warm and humid already.

Washing out and Roast Chicken cooked. We’ll have it later (when we like) with pots and salad.

Yesterday Dd, little gd and I enjoyed a pottery afternoon at Clay Cottage. We chatted and created and the time flew away. We were all quite tired when we got back home. The concentration and creativity took its toll 🤣🤣.

Not much on today, Olympics, reading and trying to keep cool.

Ash take your time and join us when you’re ready 💐.

Have a lovely day everyone 🌸

Good morning all. Back home in Essex after a busy few days with DD and DGDs. Not all ‘plain sailing’ but in general it was good. Off to a Diamond Wedding anniversary lunchtime party today with DH. Will wait to see if the predicted 30 deg materialises before deciding what to wear. It’s overcast right now. Enjoy your day, and 💐 to Ash.

Welcome to Dunworking.

Good morning from a cloudy but warm East Midlands. A day of baking for me.

Feels sticky already so the promised brief heatwave is here already. Church and Sunday papers today’s plan so not a lot to look forward to and I sympathise with Ashcombe - not easy to be positive sometimes. Let’s hope tomorrow feels better.

Good morning from Durham. It’s going to be hot, with wall to wall sunshine today - at last!
I’m heading to M&S at opening time for goodies, as I’m having a couple of hours with the DDs and DGSs later. I’ll take DD2’s laundry back and may end up bringing her Little Dog home with me - long story, but it saves a 50 mile drive for him tomorrow.
Sorry to read about Ash 💐
I’ve also had the kind offer from Rev Chris today BB, not for the first time either.
Best wishes to all. X

Welcome Dunworking👋.

Good morning all from an overcast Black country should be warmer later.
Roast lamb for dinner, a read of my new book and the closing ceremony of the Olympics that's my day.
Ash 💐
Have a great day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a fairly bright Glasgow.
I’ve been a reader/ lurker since the scary days of covid but unfortunately not generally an early enough riser to post ( who knew there was a 6 o’clock in the morning as well! 😜)
I’m up earlier today as been asked to cover a coffee making stint at church. A bit gutted though as it means I’ll miss all the chat ( gossip) going on at the tables! Oh well….at least I’m upping my chances of going to heaven! 😂
Enjoy ur day whatever u are doing .

Another gloriously sunny Suffolk morning after a rather cloudy but humid day yesterday. DS and tribe were going to come for lunch today but after a sickness bug has travelled through all of them over the last 10 days or so,we decided to leave it til next week. We didn’t want to be victims 6&7.

After a dog walk soon it will be a day of quiet and peace. We have plans to confirm with DD1 about their visit soon. They will probably leave DGD4 here for a few days by herself. Her older siblings have had lots to do over their holiday and we felt that DGD4 would like some time on her own being spoilt.

She is a lively non stop chatty 12 year old and an animal lover so is easy to entertain.

Hope all have a good day and Ash feels better soon.

Ash 💐💕

Morning everyone 🙋‍♀️

I had an extremely busy break with DD and her boys, hurtling down watersides, fairground rides, go-carting, shows along with walking miles. The 9yr old and The Imp reckon it’s their best ever holiday.

I need a holiday to recover 🤣🤣🤣

There is no way I can catch up with all your news, but hope you are all well.

(((Hugs))) Ashcombe

Wishing you all a sunny Sunday 🙋‍♀️👍🏻

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and cloudy. I think it should brighten up later.
Ash all my very best to you. I hope you feel better about life soon. Bonnybanko I received that message too. It was deleted and I didn't bother to read it.
Yesterday I caught up with my friend. We enjoyed our breakfast and also enjoyed a blether about the riots and Trump etc. If only we were in charge! 😂
Today I'll get to Aldi. I might drop off toys at the hospice charity shop as they are filling my car boot. Later I will visit mum. I might watch the closing ceremony too. I'll have an early night because of an early start tomorrow and I was awake for a couple of hours last night. Have a good day all.
