Good morning Michael and all GNs. Another murky start in South Yorkshire. I was very tired yesterday after the family left though they always pitch in and clear up after the meal. It was lovely to have them here. Everyone very relaxed.
I have a physio appointment this morning; fortunately not far from home, so not a long drive. Later I will hope to get out into the garden for a bit.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset. Brighter later if the forecast is accurate

Another hour in the garden yesterday before tackling life admin. Quiet and productive. Mr C slept the afternoon away and was asleep again at 9. I’m frustrated at the lack of annual cardiac check and may ask the GP to chase as we can get no response. Mr C of course insists he’s fine.

Quiet one today. Quick trip out for a hearing aid adjustment for Mr C, a very efficient plumber calling this afternoon to sort our malfunctioning toilet flush. She always calls if she’s going to be early or late and usually arrives exactly at the time promised. Not sure what I’ll do in between, maybe finally tackle some filing and get the shredder out.

Hope Monday is kind to us all.

Good morning from s somerset, bright and dry today

First yesterday was an early trip to the plot, to offload

Mission accomplished yesterday, I have a clean car, I did drive 17 miles round trip to get the outside properly washed, it was worth it. Freezer emptying has started, needs to be done by june and I made a very large lamb casserole for ready meals, the type which just needs a piece of bread to mop up the juices

Traybake made and portioned for the freezer, can always rely on Mary Berry.

I think I am expecting a delivery today and nothing else is planned. I will do some spinning and reading and watch the garden grow

Have a good day

Good morning all. Currently 4deg. In Glasgow but a dry. Calm sunny day is forecast.

I had a quiet weekend and with no plans for today apart from a small Waitrose shop, that’s it.

Best wishes to all for a good day.

Good morning from a damp and dull-skied spot in south Glos.
A quiet day yesterday, enjoying having tiddler and walking the dogs. More of the same today though starting with taking tiddler for her introductory vet appointment and a walk in the big parkland afterwards.
I will walk Annie before we go, DH has to get new car tyres so he’s leaving early.
I will do some bits in the garden later, just tidying around and maybe have a sit in the summerhouse too 😊
Hoping for sunshine today 🌹

Good morning from a chilly but dry Torbay with sunshine forecast for later.

I’m glad you busy ladies are easing up a little as you give out so much to others, grandMattie and Grandmabatty. Sometimes taking a step back, even briefly, is enough to help you revive.

Good luck at the dentist, Sallyforth.

And wishing everyone as good a week as possible. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from Malta where it’s an overcast day and everything is covered in Saharan sand after some dirty rain overnight.

I’ve just arrived to watch the boys so that’s my day taken care of.

Have a good day all.☀️

Good morning Mick and everyone from a cold, but bright morning in Cheshire. There's a slight frost in the roof tops but not at ground level. Didn't think to put the covers on the cordylines but fingers crossed. They're beautiful but do need care in our climate. Plenty of sunshine later.

Today is an easy morning, giving a lift to a neighbour for the London train and dentist for crown to be fitted this afternoon. The pain in my bank account will be more than the tooth!

My DD couldn't get a delivery of flowers for next weekend so I got my Mother's Day flowers yesterday. Two vases full of every kind of daffodil and narcissus Exquisite!

Wishing all the best day possible. Specially kind thoughts for those with worries or pain. flowers

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 5° and dry. There's a nice red tinged sky appearing.
Yesterday was tiring with the boys. After they were picked up, I had a nap and then an early night.
Early childcare day ahead. Then a couple of hours in the school library. I might visit mum or leave it til tomorrow. I have a quiet week ahead for which I'm grateful. Have a good day everyone

Good morning from Bristol.
Looks like we shall see some sun ☀️ today, though the temperatures are falling again.
Tesco this morning, with Home Instead film this afternoon.
I’m trying to rest as I’m very tired from the last fortnight of being very busy.
Have a good day all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
