Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry and bright, it feels a bit chilly though
Oh litterpicker please take care and look after yourself
Yesterday plans changed and I spent most of the day out and about shopping with DD2, we didn’t buy much but got some ideas for when she moves house. Today I’m definitely staying home as I’ve lots to finish off before we go away for a week tomorrow
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from s somerset, sunny and a nice temperature is forecast for today

I changed my bedding this morning, normally I wash it straight away but it seems to be a pointless exercise as it won`t even half-fill my machine. I will need to bottom my bedroom today, I do that after every linen changeover and I will do that first thing.

Bits and bobs to do today but overall a restful and quiet day

Have a good day

Good morning - a bit earlier than usual for me, especially on a Sunday- from N Bucks.
Proms again today, starting at 11 so it means an early train to Euston as they are all slow (1 hr+) until mid-morning. Particularly looking forward to The Firebird.
Lunching at Daquise in S Ken afterwards .
Wishing you all a peaceful and pleasant Sunday.

Good morning Mick, that was a long journey, it’s bad enough from where I live in south Gloucestershire.
It’s a cloudy start here, noticeably cooler too.
My plans for today might be quickly curtailed by my neighbours who have visitors- they were incredibly noisy yesterday with a blasted karaoke machine 🤬
It seems that they’re incapable of talking at a normal volume, they bellow and shriek at each other. It seems to be an annual thing.
We normally never hear a word from them 🤷🏼‍♀️. It started at 7.30 yesterday morning and was still going strong at 2am this morning.
The fact that despite being deaf I could still hear them…..

Today I will do a roast dinner I think, we haven’t had one for sometime. I do find cooking a real chore. I have little enthusiasm for it, the novelty wore of years ago!
DH will take the dog out for a longer walk this morning so , subject to neighbours, I will probably do some more weeding and tidying up in the garden, I am perfect happy pootling around outside 😊
Let’s hope today goes well for us all 🌹

Good morning from a dull and cloudy Torbay. Sunshine promised later.

I know that route well, Mick, from my regular trips to and from Portsmouth over the last ten years and it’s always busy. We usually have a break at the Dorchester McDonalds but that wouldn’t be possible in a coach, unfortunately.

I’m going to our Little Theatre this morning where there is a monthly meeting of an evangelical church. Some folk from my previous church attend so I am looking forward to it.

My thanks again for the lovely warm comments from yesterday. I can’t tell you how much they melted my heart.

I hope Litterpicker continues to recover.

A blessed Sunday to you all. ✝️

Good morning from Bristol.
Look after yourself, litterpicker, listen to medical advice.
Nothing much yesterday, nothing much today other than church.
I’ve got three school skirts to shorten for the DGDs…
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dry but cloudy start here in brackley this morning.
After yesterdays long day at Weymouth , which I manage to get a all day breakfast , there were two coach loads .
Anyway , today a more relaxed day at home , I will have my usual Chinese Take Away later today for a change .
Weymouth was packed and busy but journey due to lack of fast routes between north of Bournemouth and Dorchester meant traffic cues ,and no service stops coming home .
Take Care,
Mick
