Old morning, Michael and all GNs from a bright South Yorkshire. It may not stay that way for long. I have a chiropodist appointment this morning and a haircut this afternoon but apart from that, nothing exciting.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from Shropshire.The forecast rain has still not arrived.

Another quiet day planned.I have bought mum so new tops so will label them and then after the household jobs and admin are complete it will be another afternoon reading.

We were meant to go to the Keukenhof gardens in 2020 too Ash for my 60th.Maybe next year.

Good that you are doing well whywhywhy.

Thoughts with Gingster and her DH and also with Grandmabatty as she prepares for tomorrow💐

Have a good day everyone🌻🦩

Morning Mick, morning All. A much cooler corner of Somerset is dry at the moment, showers later - maybe.

We thoroughly enjoyed family time yesterday, thankfully no rain to contend with. Covid jab for me this morning, nothing else on the agenda we’ll see how the day goes.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from a very overcast, hazy Malta where a high of 19°C is forecast but no sun.

Oh I did enjoy the tennis yesterday! I like both players but was happy for the winner and loved how respectful they were of each other.

I plan a lazy morning doing jobs around the house although this weather doesn’t inspire me.

This afternoon I’m going to meet my friends who have been here on holiday but leave tomorrow so we will have a last cuppa together.

The boys FaceTimed yesterday and are having a super time in Sicily. It looks a lovely place where they are staying, it’s a bungalow with two resident cats. Twin 1 is the animal lover so he’s made friends with them.

They will be back on the 2pm catamaran, it’s only a 90 minute trip and they took the car so have been able to travel around and see a fair few places with DD3 doing all the driving. She’s her father’s daughter! I’ve never enjoyed driving on the wrong side of the road but he loved it and we drove overland to the UK several times.

Sending hugs to all who are feeling poorly, sad or going through trying times, and wishing a good day to all.☀️

Good morning all from a damp north Wales after a surprisingly dry and sunny weekend - the forecast isn’t clever for the next week but the gardens need it…😡

What lucky ladies BlueSapphire and Glammagran are cruising the Med and it includes lovely Malta!

After spending a few hours with DD yesterday it’s my dad’s turn for my attention today (what a blessing, I heard MrPG mumble 😉) as his car is having its innards sorted and I picked up some groceries to tide him over.

He’s awaiting a dermatologist appointment for the sore on his back and is desperate for me to “have a look”…😱. As you all know I’m not a nurse and rather squeamish around such things so will pretend to do so…🫣

My neighbour is in hospital with worrying symptoms and I know so many of you have various medical issues at the moment 💐, flowers seem inadequate but it is the kind thought that matters x

Good morning from a chilly midlands where the beautiful moon is still in our skies. A day of taking things to the charity shop and making a lasagne then knitting a dog blanket for Battersea. Mental health has been good lately.
Take care everyone and stay safe. 🤗🤗

Good morning from Bristol. The birds are singing their little hearts out.
We had the usual chaotic Palm Sunday procession round the church with children waving real palms. Meanwhile, DD had one from one of her churches to the other; a long walk but, mercifully for Bristol, it was all down hill!
I’m fairly busy today as I’m going with DGD to the local vast mall for some shopping then a cream tea - Christmas present from DGS. She and I share a birthday so I chose her for my +1.
We shall be joined by DD and iris, go back to theirs for a birthday dinner one day early. They’re off to Stratford tomorrow.
My sleep pattern has gone back from barely adequate to rubbish again. It’s horrible if I can’t have an afternoon nap. I’m beyond tired and am a bit out of it. Hey ho.
Hope this Holy week is kind to you all.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a chilly Torbay with the likelihood of rain later.

Bon voyage to BlueSapphireand Glammagran! DH and I have a cruise booked for the last week in April, mainly to visit Keukenhof Gardens. This was originally booked for my 70th birthday in 2020 but we all remember what happened that year!

Yesterday, the post Covid (Moderna) vaccination headache recurred with a vengeance at lunchtime so I rested for much of the day and felt better for it.

Thinking of those who are unwell or with sad or difficult times to face, especially . Grandmabatty 💐 and Gingster and her DH. 💐

Good morning all, it’s still dark here in Lancashire and feeling quite cool. The sky looks clear and the birds are singing outside my window.

I am sleeping really well and still waking very early. MrB is still asleep and I will probably snooze after I‘ve drunk another glass of water.

Happy Monday 🌹
