Good morning from a sunny corner of S E Essex, the sky is the most glorious clear blue.

May already 🐇🐇🐇

I ache in places I didn’t know I had thanks to the gym!

I will change the bed first thing, then pop into M & S Food Hall. The 10yr old is here for a sleepover tonight, I think we will BBQ.

Have a good day 🙋‍♀️

Good morning all from a warm and bright North Leicestershire.

Yesterday's Carer Learning Session was well attended and well received. Today, we have a memory cafe where my focus is on the Carers again.

We have local elections today and a Sainsbury's delivery. DH and DS1 are off to the football tonight.

Have the best day possible all.

Good morning from Cambridgeshire where it is another beautiful day. I have a hair cut and colour this afternoon and will visit the big M & S and Next on route. Otherwise a quiet morning pottering in my garden and enjoying this lovely weather.

Wishing everyone a good day

Good morning Mick, morning all.

Yesterday was spent walking and picnicking in the grounds of Culzean Castle (you guessed correctly MD). I hadn’t been inside for a few years so DH stayed outside with the daft dug whilst I had a quick tour by myself.

I’m not sure what today will bring other than a change in the weather for us. The downside of living in Scotland.

Hope your DH’s appointment goes well Gingster.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it’s going to be another hot one. I am supposed to be going walking this morning but am going to give it a miss because I was spectacularly unwell last night and feel washed out today. No idea what set that off. So a gentle day for me.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all.

We’re off to the urology clinic today to hopefully have catheter removed.🙏. I didn’t realise it would be such a long appointment- can take hours.

Take care all.🪴

Good morning from s somerset, another glorious sunny day today

I have moved all seedlings and moveable pots into the areas that the sun moves off at around 1 pm plus a stand has debris netting over to give some shade to plugs. Like it or not these plant babies need watering and shade or they will die

Very busy day yesterday, not manic, just a filled day. Wardrobe de cluttering was finished and I walked 4 times to a clothes bank, out and back before the sun was too strong

My bird net arrived and I went to the plot pm, to set up a protection cage as the strawberries are flowering, they are new so I drenched the soil as their roots are not yet deep. Naturally I walked around and weeded and watered seeds, the seed tapes are good, I can see where I put the seeds.

To and fro the water point with cans is hard word, my water butts are only half full and I am conserving that for later in the season, I think we will have a drought and ban this year and watering points will be turned off

Back home after two hours, which included a tip run. I was tired but it was too late for a nap. I did not eat well at tea time, I picked at food and ate one of my ice creams, absolutely scrummy and a nice amount, small and satisfying and I did not feel guilty

Today, a higher temperature again and I will be conserving energy, my mind wants to be out cycling early but my body needs a rest so I am resting today, just pottering and reading will do me

Have a good day

Good morning from Southampton where we have just docked as the sun rises.

We have been so blessed with fine weather for our cruise. Thank you for all the appreciative comments regarding the photos of Keukenhof. Being there saw my long held dream fulfilled!

Thoughts with those who have mountains to climb with their health and happy holidays to those who are travelling. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good May Day morning early birds 🫡 from north Wales coast where I had another surprise yesterday morning…Harry 🦔 has a friend! Not sure how to sex a hedgehog at a short distance but I’ve named her Mrs Tiggiwinkle obvs 😉

Are we all having lovely weather? I do hope so, I’m sure sunshine 🌞 and being outdoors is a tonic!

Another quiet day to be spent eating and reading in the garden - I’m on my 4th book this week and have a tidy pile ready for the charity shop!

Will pop along later and read about your bizzinesses - I only have bingo to look forward to this evening 🤞 for a win to top up our next Jollies trip, standing at £200 at the moment! Another full house should do it!

Morning all from an already warm West Oxfordshire. I’m still in bed until 8 am. I’ll probably doze.

White rabbits 🐇 and a pinch and a punch..

We didn’t go to the Roman Villa yesterday, preferring a quiet day at home. We will go today. However, I did pick up my silver charm bracelet from the jeweller where I had three charms added. I haven’t worn it for years as it’s too heavy, but it’s beautiful to look at and has lots of memories.

Have a good day, whatever you’re doing.

Bother I posted too early.
I’m off to London today for an exhibition at the courtauld institute. We are taking a coach, which was offering tickets at £4 each way. No brainer.
My neighbour and I have decided to have an outdoor tea for VE day on Monday for the residents. Hope it’s reasonably well attended.
Have a good day and don’t “melt” in the heat. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

White rabbits 🐇🐇🐇
Good morning from a warm dry Bristol. I’ve been awake since 3 am. Not good.
Yesterday was busy. I had the morning prayers then FAB cafe. One of the AgeUk hosts gave me a large bunch of tulips as a late birthday present! There were 12 attendees as opposed to the 5 last week.
I rushed home for lunch, then went immediately off to the bank in town to pay in a $ cheque I had received. On my way bac, I stopped at the EEshop for my phone. Again. I swear the staff hides when they see me coming! 😂. One chap didn’t know how to fix it, the second did. I hope everything will be in order by tonight. 🤞🤞🤞
