Good morning from a clear-skied Cornwall, sunny later. Lots of paperwork sorted yesterday, how smug I feel. 🤣 Collected a lovely throw from Argos and as MacDonald's was nearby I had lunch of a spicey wrap there. Today must go to our main station and buy my ticket for a trip to Torquay on Friday when I'm meeting a Gransnetter; I'll leave you to guess who. 😁 Am very excited!

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 7° and dry. The temperature must have dropped significantly last night because my windows have condensation on them. Poor quality double glazing. GrandMattie I hope you have success with the hedge removal. HelterSkelter1 I frequently have a dawn trip with the buckets! Fortunately it doesn't disturb my neighbours.
Yesterday was hard work. Dgs2 was quite badly behaved and screamed a lot. He was threatened with being put to bed. It isn't entirely his fault because he is wound up be his big brother who knows exactly which buttons to press. Most of the day was fine, just the last couple of hours.
Today we'll see what transpires. Possibly a park visit if the rain stays away. Yesterday the weather was awful. We're also going to collect leaves to make a picture for his other granny. Fortunately I slept better last night, so my state of mind should be calmer. Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone, I have no idea what the weather’s doing here in south Glos 🤷🏼‍♀️, it feels rather cool in my bedroom.
Yesterday was a drizzly one, not that I minded, muggy too.
I have to collect a sleep monitor from the hospital this morning and return it first thing tomorrow, what fun 🙄 My consultant suspects that my O2 levels drop off at night, sleep apnoea? I certainly know I snore because I wake myself up!
Oh joys……….
Anyway, beyond that I will get the bus in from the bottom of the hill, leaving my car in the park, and I might have a quick wander in town if I feel like it.
Have a lovely day if you can 🌹

How can it escape me when it was Wagon Train. Just googled it and oh those familiar faces.

Good morning from a dry but still dark N Surrey. Just tiptoed outside in my pyjamas to put the food collection bin by the gate which I forgot to do yesterday evening. I also forgot the garden rubbish bin which is down the garden. That will have to wait now for 2 weeks unless they collect later in the morning. Sometimes they collect at crack of dawn and of course will be today!!
It's quite warm out there. We are forecast rain which the garden needs, but I don't. I would like a clear sky and sunshine after the gloomy day yesterday. My day begins. Wagons roll as they used to say on a TV programme whose name escapes me

Good morning from a still dark Bristol.
The forecast is for rain; I’m debating about going to my outdoor tai chi class due to the long walk there and back. If it does rain, I get absolutely soaked…
My “salon” will be this afternoon for badly needed haircuts for all three of us! Summer hair growth.
The head gardner came yesterday and my upstairs neighbour and I talked to him, asked him to persuade the management to remove a dreadfully neglected and frankly ugly hedge outside my window. The kerb appeal is nil. With any luck, the cost of removing it will be more than recouped by the lower maintenance costs. Watch this space…
Glad to see FriedGreenTomatoes posting. 👋 Hope that problems are sorted out by MN soon. 🤞
