Good Morning Tuesday 27th August 2024

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a rather grey South Yorkshire. The chap who cuts my hedges did his usual very good job yesterday and also did a couple of extra jobs I hadn’t asked for. I have a pyracantha on an outside wall which had grown so big because of all the rain we’ve had that it had broken loose from its trellis and he resecured it for me, which took a bit of doing, and he strimmed the area of grass and weeds at the back of the garden wall which I find it difficult to get the mower to. It was work he wasn’t going to charge me for but I added something onto his bill. I got ensnared in gardening jobs myself in the afternoon, having gone out to do one small thing that led to another! Not sure what is on the cards today. A run out in the car I think if the weather holds.
Have the best day you can folks.

Ash, this blooming risk assessment may not be the “eager beaver’s” fault. Our WI had to do them all the time for this and that…. I think it is on the insistence of the insurance, for the building, for public liability, ‘elf and safety, etc. A real pain in the proverbial.

Good morning all from the Black country, curtains still closed so not sure what weather is doing.
DH has an early appointment at cardiology for a check on his ICD, he needs to have an ECG beforehand so has to arrive 30mins before.
Carvery booked for later yippee no cooking.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed☀️.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 16° and pouring rain. Yesterday was a difficult day with dgs2. Dgs1 winds him up. Today looks like an indoor one so I'll have to see what we can do. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a very hot Malta.

Yesterday had my nails done, did a bit of shopping, cleaned my car, vacuumed and steam mopped my floors, and finished the last of the photo albums which are now put away.

Today a bit of pottering this morning, hair appointment this afternoon and will call to see the boys.

I will be looking after them from tomorrow until Saturday as DD3 is off to Sardinia for a break with another mum of twins.

Wishing everyone a good day.☀️

Good morning from a cloudy but dry Torbay.

You'd hardly have known it was a Bank Holiday yesterday - tourists are not visiting in large numbers this year it seems. I guess the unpredictable weather hasn’t helped and the town's deteriorating centre. As elsewhere, there are an increasing number of homeless people with health issues including addictions but decreasing support services for them.

I’ll be at Props this morning where we have to look at our risk assessment. An eager beaver on the theatre committee has decreed this to be necessary for insurance purposes. If anyone were to meet us, they'd discover we all have physical infirmities of some kind but we're old (and wise?!) enough to recognise our limitations.

Safe travels to brook 2704 and others on journeys. Have a good day, if you can. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from a dry Bristol. A dryish day is promised. Unlike yesterday, when I had to run back home for an umbrella as it started to pour down as I went for my paper. The third morning in a row that this has happened.
I had a very productive day. In the morning, I made some biscuits and a coffee and walnut traybake for the Singles tea this afternoon. I had a nap after lunch then decided to make marmalade. At this time of year, I use the tinned stuff, so made three batches, 21 pots. I now have to wash and label them, I make my own.
Today - outdoor tai chi and the singles afternoon.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
