I like the candle in your neighbour's window that you mention, baubles. I have lit a candle on the table while I'm cooking at tea (dinner) time since DD1 died.

I found wibbly's' post rude and unnecessary, as was mabon's. and needed to respond..

What is happening to this gentle, friendly and usually supportive thread? 😢

Ps I do know it's Saturday 😀

I thought twilight was evening time, not morning.

^Morning Twilight (Dawn)^:
This is the twilight that occurs before sunrise, marking the transition from night to day.

Michael is perfectly correct although I confess it's something I very rarely see.

Why do so many people have trouble with their GP. I don't. I wouldn't want to see the pope anyway, he's catholic.

You do know this is Saturday.

What exactly is the point of your post?
BTW, I am a Catholic and I have had an audience with him!

Thank you Grandmabatty
I thought that post was unnecessary and pedantic.

Nicksmrs46 Fri 28-Mar-25 16:35:24

Sounds like a lovely day for you Michael and the weather is going to be kind to us 🤞. Enjoy your fish and chips , we’re having some later !

kittylester Fri 28-Mar-25 16:24:12

Well done GBatty

Twilight is:
the soft glowing light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, caused by the reflection of the sun's rays from the atmosphere.
From the Oxford dictionary. Therefore could be either morning or evening

Good afternoon from a cold, wet and windy East Dunbartonshire. We’ve had a few hail showers today, with some very heavy showers. The birthday balloons I picked up for my DGD2nd birthday almost took flight when a gust of wind caught the bag as I was trying to fit them into the car.

Hello from sunny Manchester. Got up at 6.30 and attended an online mass at 7. At 7.30 went out for a lovely walk along the canal with my dog, taking in the wonderful birdsong. Back home st 9 and ate breakfast. I then tackled my wardrobe to put some winter clothes away and then cleaned 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Had lunch at 1 and thinking of doing a bit of ironing. So I feel I have made the best of the day. It's chippy tea tonight. Have a good weekend all.

NannyJan just asked DH his club have fished the canal there but not the fishery, but he is considering it for a midweek contest when there are less members fishing.

Good morning Mick and all who follow. It's a sunny and windy March day on the Angus coast - but with cloud building to the north-west. The washing will be hung out notwithstanding!
It seems to be a day for mis-reading posts. I too thought grandmattie was talking about her marmalade socks Sallyforth, and after Greyduster had told us about all the baby frogs in the pond I thought she said the school was having an insect day, so she wasn't needed!
DD and here DD1 (aka my former DancingDGD) are as we speak winging off to Amsterdam for a weekend of 'mother and daughter bonding' as part of her 21st birthday present. DD is one of those people who always manage to find exciting and 'different' things to do wherever she goes, so I know they'll have a wonderful time. Like you RosiesMaw yesterday's stabbings in Amsterdam gave me pause for thought, but these episodes of wickedness seem to be prevalent these days. If you want to be completely safe you wouldn't set foot outside your own garden! Anyway, DGD3 and I are meeting them for a Mother's Day dinner on Sunday evening to hear all about it - and I've just had a message from DGD1 to say they've landed!
Anyway, the clouds are amassing nicely so time to hang the washing out before it starts to rain 😉😂 Have a good day everyone, whatever you choose to do.

It is called Bells Mill Fishery [Monk]

Good morning from a sunny but windy NE.
Spent all day doing laundry yesterday, managed to get it all ironed too.
Had a ready vegetarian meal for dinner, couldn't face standing in the kitchen for another hour.
DD rang at 10pm after the day celebrating her birthday. She is off to Prague for work on Sunday.
DS sent me information about GD's school, she is at an exceptional girls independent one but in the new academic year they intend to be co-ed. We are a family where all three generations attended single sex schools and I am not convinced it is a good idea.
Sorry to hear about your neighbour Baubles, I too light a candle every night and place it in front of a photo of DH. I place a photo of GDs next to him because he loved to spend time with them.
Have a good day.

monk08 Fri 28-Mar-25 09:30:43

Lovely photos NannyJan if its local DH will have probably fished that fishery, they are inclined to pick ones with onsite cafe.

Good morning,
A bright but breezy morning, with an occasional shower. It feels a bit cooler today, so I’m pleased I got a few jobs in the garden completed yesterday.
Not sure what my plans for today are yet, but I’ve a couple of indoor jobs to do, so will do those then it’s a wait and see, I think 😊.
I hope you all have a Good Friday.

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Quiet day yesterday tidying up and memorising songs.
Off to art group soon and my pianist friend is coming over tonight, we will have my belated birthday meal and he will stay overnight as he lives fifty miles away.

Thoughts to all as always and a little card I drew🌺

weenanni59 Fri 28-Mar-25 08:55:23

Good morning everyone from a wet and windy Ayrshire coast .
I am looking forward to meeting some friends for lunch today. I had planned to go for a walk this morning but I’ll give that a miss and do some overdue housework instead .
I hope you all have a lovely Friday 😀

Good morning from a grey W Kent. The builder arrived at 7.30 and DH has a Drs appointment so I feel I have done the day already. I actually have to fit some shopping in as DB is arriving tomorrow.
Upsetting at art yesterday as one of our ladies has had a bad fall,onto her face, in the garden. One lady painted a quick card to go to her.
Best wishes

Morning, damp after rain in S Hants, yesterday we had a mere glimmer of sun in the late afternoon, my Gardner weeded thoroughly and we decided the lavender can stay another year. My stretch class was good, it incorporated some balance work which I must practice at home.
That’s glorious NannyJan I can imagine a lovely walk.
A walk in less salubrious surroundings for me today, Tesco delivery then my daughter and two children are staying tonight. We’ll only have our grandson in, granddaughter working in pub and daughter with my son’s fiancée are participating in karaoke, not inherited from me 🙄
May anyone feeling poorly improve today, including Susan recovering.

Good morning all. Although rain is forecast at some point, it is a beautiful sunny morning in Glasgow but unfortunately a chilly wind is still with us.

I managed to find a gap in yesterday’s deluge for my hairdressing appointment plus a parking spot next to the salon.
Today I am meeting up with friends at 2.30 for lunch at Glaschu but before that I will have a look in the Levi store for a pair of straight leg denims, 501s, I bought my first pair 60 years ago! Time permitting, a look in at a couple of shops in Princes Square.

Hoping a smooth day is ahead for all.

Good morning from a damp and wet midlands but it’s forecast to be sunny later.
I had a fabulous birthday yesterday. Lots of cards and presents and pampering.
Another surprise awaits me today from DH.
Sending you all love and hugs. Xxx🤗🤗🤗
