Good morning from a bright Bristol. I woke up and got up at an ungodly hour, then due to try have more sleep. I got about two extra hours. Yay!
My reunion with my cousin was lovely. I pt was longer than I thought when we last met; she was a teenager and me in my middle twenties!
The rest of the day was quiet although I had a long phone call from my pc man. He’s bought me a new p and is now transferring data remotely, ready for when he delivers it here. A hero, as he lives in east Kent ; he has a house in Abergavenny so will stop here on his way. A pearl of a man…
Excited texts from Iris from Paris where they have tickets for the Paralympics. I think they are home today or tomorrow.
Quiet day today again.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Michael and all GNs. A brightish start to our South Yorkshire Day. Two of my neighbours had birthdays to celebrate yesterday so we had drinks, nibbles and cake in one of their gardens but I left early because it got far too cold to sit out when the sun went down and I was tired. This morning I feel as if I’ve slept on the floor.
I picked a lot of elderberries yesterday and froze them ready for making cordial so now I must find my cordial bottles and get them sterilised. Apart from doing that, and a food shop, nothing much planned for today.
Have the best day you can folks.

Morning, high cloud in S Hants. Fingers crossed Ashcombe.
Big charity day in our village later for Cystic Fibrosis, our friends young daughter has it, we’ll go and spend some money.
Yesterday was cleaning, Tesco delivered, some weed pulling and the hose came out.
Newspaper later today, chicken sausages for dinner.

Good morning, a pale blue sky here in south glos, very high clouds.
Yesterday the bay tree had a good trimming by my lovely neighbour and he also removed a diseased pear tree and the stump of the magnolia that DH sawed down several years ago.
A large box of asserted bulbs arrived so today I will get some of them planted - the company I always use included a dozen very pretty postcards, such a lovely little extra!
I hope we all have sunshine today 🌹

Morning Mick, morning All. Our corner of Somerset is forecast a sunny morning and a cloudy afternoon. Wait and see.

Yesterday turned out well. The meeting was less antagonistic than I expected. A spur of the moment fish and chip lunch was very enjoyable as was the following wander on a relatively empty beach a few miles along the coast. The sun was warm, little wind (hooray) and several benches to enjoy the view. Really relaxing.

Hope to do some outside jobs today, Mr C is threatening to wash the conservatory roof which invariably involves him getting far too wet, need warm weather for that one.

Fingers crossed for you ash. The signs do seem to be positive. The injection into my left knee has given me over six months of relief, what I describe as knee toothache is returning now and as advised I’ll be asking about a further injection very soon. It’s odd as the same thing didn’t help my right knee at all although by the time it was offered it was much more damaged than the left is now which is perhaps why.

Will you stay awake bellasnana? Not sure I would. Sounds a fun lunch ahead baubles, a special time.

Hope Saturday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a cloudy Cornwall. Yesterday my son and I sat in Wetherspoons' roof garden and sorted the issue I'm having with a dastardly fuel company. He's a star. He'd just been on a photographic job to a centre for homeless young families. He has a tender heart and feels for these people.

Today I'm sourcing anti-weed membrane for my neighbour's patio and then will go beachcombing for pieces of plastic to make into who knows what. 😁

The photo is of someone's ingenious front door I passed yesterday. There are some very creative people around!

Good morning from a dry start in Torbay with sunshine promised.

I am cautiously optimistic that the injection has given some relief as my knee is definitely less stiff today and that is very welcome, especially when I have to get up in the night. Thank you for the supportive comments which have helped.
An early visit to Lidl seems likely in order to avoid the busy time.

Happy weekend, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Oops, don’t know how that happened, could be due to the fact that I got up at 2 am to watch tennis so am absolutely tired out now! Crazy woman. It was worth it though!

As I was saying, littlest is a star with his potty training. Tells me when he needs the loo and no accidents at all.

Saw DD1 for a short while when she came to pick the dog up.

She is coming over today to see the boys and we might take them out.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from Mid Lancs. Daybreak and the sky is very clear so maybe sunny today - and will this be the last reasonable weekend of the so-called summer?
Anyway, Preston's Moor Park is hosting some outdoor Radio 2 shindig next weekend so that means rain, rain and nothing but rain......

Good morning from Malta where it is still very hot and sunny.

It was a long day with the boys yesterday but they were good as gold so we had fun and giggles.

Good morning from South Lanarkshire. I believe we’re to see a fair amount of sunshine today.

We had a good day yesterday with DS and the children although the little one wasn’t feeling great and had a long nap in the middle of the day.

The other two helped me pull up weeds then we did a lot of messy painting.

Today I’m taking one of DD’s girls into town for lunch and a bit of shopping. Her birthday was a few weeks ago but our plans had to be postponed as I wasn’t well. We’re both looking forward to it.

Have the best day possible everyone.
