Good morning from wet and windy Cambs. My dgs1 did well in his exams we are proud of him as he worked hard and is now looking forward to taking up his college place to do A levels.
Today I am meeting a friend that I haven’t seen for a few years so will be a lot of catching up to do over lunch. The little ones return today after a week with their dad and will catch up with them over the weekend. Hope the expected heatwave will return soon as not ready for summer to be over!
Wishing everyone a good day

Good morning from a horrible wet and windy north yorkshire. It is very blustery and swirling about , so definitely looks a day to stay in. Well have to go out for a few basics, but then plenty to do here. Have some mince which havent decided if it is going to be curry or just a comforting mince and veg, still lots of things to put away and sort out from being away and will also tackle the rest of the ironing. My tv is playing up on BBC channels and my son phoned me yesterday and said that he had rung me previously and had no reply when I was in so sounds like an intermittent fault. I had expected calls from a couple of people so that may explain it. Hope I can sort it out today before the bank holiday. So a domestic day and hope to get some things sorted . Hope the day goes well for everyone

Good morning from rainy South Lanarkshire.

We’re off to Edinburgh for our usual childminding day, eldest GC finishes school at lunch time, I think the afternoon will be spent drawing and reading.

I was quite productive in the kitchen yesterday, prepared a meatball pasta bake to take with me to for DS’s family, baked a ham and made lentil soup for us so food is sorted for a couple of days.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a windy Torbay.

It was showery for most of yesterday so I mostly hibernated. My convalescing neighbour texted me urgently for help with her evening meal so I happily obliged and did a few small tasks for her whilst there. She’s a lovely person and is always doing good for others.

Early start to do a Lidl shop today.. I hope you can find some easement of your discomfort, RosesandLilac. You are stoic, karmalady!

A good day to all. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, windy today

The wind woke me a few times in the night, feeling groggy just now, I don`t like disturbed nights, I can still hear the strong gusts

My cold weather bomber jacket is finished and looks amazing, ready to use, which might be sooner rather than later. I have hand sewing today, have made a pop over top from left over quilted fabric. I will use it this winter

I dropped a brick on my toes yesterday, from chest height, it slipped off something. Arnica, ice pack, hurt to ache to not remembering which foot it was by bedtime, pain had gone. So lucky not to have broken something

Faffing today, doing whatever I want

Have a good day

Good morning from a damp, grey Durham with high winds forecast.
More problems with Sky - at this rate, I might cancel my contract.
I’ll ring them first thing.
Coffee with a friend this morning, then nail appointment early afternoon with DD2. I’ll do something with her and DGS2 later and she’ll have laundry for me to bring home.
Fingers crossed for the BH weekend.
Best wishes to all.X

Good morning from a very wet Bristol. As the wind and rain came from the opposite direction, I didn’t hear them. I hope my minute garden hasn’t suffered too much from the wind.

Great excitement here as a flat that has been empty for nearly three years was being cleared. The reason for the delay was supposed to be probate, but apparently the real reason was a dispute between the heirs. Two more flats have recently been put on the market (both ladies died a couple of months ago, so defo not probate) and have already had a stream of viewings.

Nothing much done yesterday, ditto today. Have a happy Friday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick, ‘tis a wet and very windy start here on this hillside in south Glos 🙄
Yet another bad night. I have to sleep with three pillows and it’s totally jiggered up my arthritic neck and upper spine. Painkillers aren’t doing anything much, I can’t take codeine because it drastically lowers my BP. Not a happy bunny at the moment 🤬
Yesterday I was given a bucket of cooking apples so I’m going to make apple cakes this morning, I will give one to the friend who supplied the apples.
Let’s hope we get some sunshine soon, I certainly need some!

Good morning Mick and all who follow, wet and windy here this morning.

MrOops is out most of the day and we have people here this evening for cards, so a chilli to make for that, someone is bringing a pudding so that will save me from the bother.

The balloon thingy is helping with my ear problem and I feel less wobbly this morning.

Have a good day everyone, stay dry.
