Good Morning Wednesday 21st August 2024

Good morning all from a bright and fresh North Leicestershire.

Early start as usual on Wednesdays. DH has a gym class at 9.15 so leaves home at 8.30 and our cleaner comes at 9.00. We used to have 2 cleaners for 1 hour but they have decided to go their separate ways - hope we've gone with the best one.

I will be ironing!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a bright start in Torbay.

Mizuna: parts of your day sounded like some kind of bizarre dream!

Yesterday was a busy time at Props as we had to put away items used on stage in our two week run of Blackadder. The youth drama group have a week long project going on and the set builders were on stage preparing for our next production: The Unexpected Guest by Agatha Christie. Torquay hosts a festival in her memory each September to coincide with her birthday on the 15th.

Happy hump day, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

luluaugust, a few times I've been behind different people, always much older than me, in the bank or Post Office when they've drawn out hundreds of pounds. They walk away from the counter, checking it for all to see. It bothers me. Maybe they're people who are worried to give up using cash.

Good morning from s somerset, cooler, dull and windy for the whole day

Some 1.3 litre lock and lock boxes arrived yesterday. Using wholefoods as I do, I have many bags of goodies that I want to store more neatly, seeds etc I will make labels today and re-organise the fridge for them. I would also like to do some general tidying and maybe dusting today.

I finished my autumn coat which fits my body perfectly. I now want to get going on items that I have cut out, starting with the weather-proof bomber jacket that I will need for cycling. It is ready to start and I found zips, one for down the centre and 2 for side pockets in the princess seams. I dithered about bothering to do the pockets but safe pockets are always useful

Have a good day

Good morning from south Glos, the sky is a very pale blue and it’s chilly.
I spent several hours yesterday clearing out my cupboard in the room I call my craft room, it’s looking much better although I didn’t throw much out for recycling.
The runner beans are producing well, I will give some to my neighbours as I don’t have room in the freezer.
A bit more gardening today, there’s also laundry to be done and I am sure I will find plenty to do!
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning from W Kent where the sun is out but it is 12 degrees.
Goodness Mizuna that was quite a day, I wonder why someone was carrying hundreds of pounds around.
I had a lovely time yesterday afternoon as DD2 stopped by for a good chat, her children are staying with their cousins.
I am off to a new art group this morning, very small and I have no idea how good they are so a bit anxious, we shall see.
Good wishes all round.

That was quite a day mizuna. .

Morning all from West Oxfordshire,

An interesting day, Mizuna! You could write a story.

Today is the WI Summer Afternoon Tea. I’ve iced and decorated two lots of muffins spiced chocolate and rum and ginger. In the meantime OH will go to the U3A lunch. I could only go if I just had a starter!

Elder son’s partner is back from London this afternoon. I’m not sure what son and granddaughter will do today. They won’t have a car and the bus service is abysmal. We are surrounded by lots of interesting walks.

Have a good day everyone. I do hope Urms is having a wonderful time.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset.

Shunted furniture around yesterday to allow me to paint the skirting boards ready for tomorrows carpet fitting. I was concerned Mr C was doing too much, he was concerned I was. Daft pair. We were both fine, if tired. A totally unintelligible letter arrived from the eye hospital. Google wasn’t much help with translation. Why can’t they write in plain English?

Final hospital physio run session this morning, not at all sure it’s helped although it’s been enjoyable as we’ve laughed a lot. I’ll be pleased to reclaim two mornings each week. Straight from there to a development meeting for an hour before last bits to move around here.

With thoughts of all with worries a hope that Wednesday is kind to us all.

Good morning from sunny Cornwall. Intriguing trip out yesterday. Firstly a catch-up with my doctor, covering several minor issues and ending up with her enquiring about my 'lovely' teal canvas shoes; she asked where I'd bought them and I told her they'd been grey and I'd painted them so we talked about the best paint for her to do something similar. 😁

Then a bus to my favourite library and on the way home I changed buses at our main hospital. On the bus shelter floor was a canvas bag containing hundreds of pounds in banknotes, an old-school Nokia phone and spare attachments for the end of a walking stick. I passed the bag into the hospital reception. Someone will be frantic about it. 😳

On the second bus journey I sat next to a Canadian lady of my age, a University lecturer visiting her very old, poorly dad. We had such a good chat. A lady opposite us was juggling two very large shell-shaped plastic things. 'Are they sandpits?' I asked as she staggered past. 'They're supposed to be but I've got them for my geese.' Of course.

A surreal trip. 🤣🤣 Today will be more normal, unless I venture out again.

Good morning from Belfast
Sky looks promising still some pink and blue around.
Hairdressers today in Bangor.
DH has a doctor's appointment!!!!!!!
Yesterday our church group met for the first time since June
We had a good turnout.
What ever you're doing have a great day everyone.

Good morning all from the Black country not sure what weather doing haven't looked out yet.
DH fishing so early start not sure of my plans but I shall take myself off somewhere.
Will come back later to catch up with everybody's happenings later, enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Good morning from a fresh feeling Cambs. Woken early today after a restless dream filled night.
Yesterday we had heavy rain and wind at lunchtime then a sunny warm afternoon which was good as looked around some gardens in Bedfordshire with afternoon tea served on the lawn.
Today is planned to try and sort the garden out creating a new bed in a sunny area and putting some decorative bark on beds at the front. I have a bougainvillea to put in a pot so I can bring it into the conservatory when the cold weather arrives. Been a busy time socially recently so need a quiet day today on our own.

Good morning from a chilly Bristol.
I didn’t go to outdoor tai chi yesterday as it was pouting down before I left. I have a 25 minute walk each way, for a 30 minute class. I didn’t feel it worthwhile to get wet and cold..
Instead, I cleaned an outdoor chair to put in my bedroom; I only need to oil in now.
I made some ginger nuts and chocolate biscuits for the complex coffee morning today, the remainder for church on Saturday.
Today, my podiatrist is doing my feet.
Best wishes for today to be a happy dayforyou. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
