Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s another gorgeous sunny day ahead
Enjoy your treat of tea and scone this afternoon karma you definitely deserve it
Yesterday afternoon I managed a quick hour in the garden, it was good to get back to it after a while. Lots of azaleas and rhododendrons in flower and colourful ground cover phlox filling the gaps. I’m hoping to do a bit more gardening today but first we’ve promised to go to DD2s to continue helping with unpacking boxes and putting things away.
Well done to your DGD with her dancing show baubles it’s such a big thing for them isn’t it. My DGD is busy practicing for her show in June which we’re all looking forward to
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is going to be another hot one. DS came down early yesterday and we opted to go for a walk before it got too hot and have lunch afterwards. We walked across the fields and along the river and he said he’d forgotten what a pretty walk it was. We had a long leisurely lunch and he cut my lawn and checked my car tyres before he went home. The house seemed very quiet when he’d gone. He makes his presence felt😊!
I am not doing anything in particular today. I have a book to finish, some knitting to get on with, and I must decide what to wear for a funeral we are going to in Wales tomorrow. We will be in the car a long time so it had better be something non- crease!
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a cloudy Torbay following overnight rain, as was forecast.

On first waking, I thought it was Monday, too, Mick!

Following the coffee morning we walked to the Downs and enjoyed seeing a few friendly faces, both along the way and in the pub where we enjoyed necessary refreshments!

Early service at church then a trip to Lidl beckons.

Thinking of those in pain or with worries. A blessed Sunday to you all. 🦩💐✝️🥰🦩

Good morning from s somerset, waem and sunny today

I asked alexa, she said it was sunday today, I almost believed it is monday. Phew

Slow start today, I slept longer and soon will be prepping my tyres etc for a cycle ride. I have decided to do the longer ride supported by e bike battery. I still work but the battery is reassuring and my muscles need building again after winter

Busy yesterday, planting out and watering troughs. My autumn raspberries are flowering far too early and already developing berries. Some lifting involved yesterday and hence have some aches today, they will mostly wear off on my ride

What will I be doing this afternoon? I have no idea, maybe watch a dvd, I rather fancy watching gone with the wind again while I enjoy my sunday treat of a jam and cream scone and a large mug of tea. My favourite mugs are 600ml dunoon china mugs with lovely pink pelicans on them. A proper mug of tea

Have a good day

Good morning from bright South Lanarkshire.

Yesterday was spent in Edinburgh again as the DS’s eldest had her dancing school show. We looked after the others in the morning when the final rehearsal was on as DS was working and met DDoutL at lunchtime. The show was held in the small theatre of a city centre school which also had plenty of parking and a beautiful garden where we had a picnic lunch before the show and the children were able to run and play. Pretty much stress free and all the children taking part in the show performed with great enthusiasm. Our youngest GC was enthralled, never taking his eyes off the stage, I suspect he’ll be signed up when he’s old enough.

Have a lovely Mothers Day Bellasnana.

I am rather tired today though so it will be a quiet day after Mass later this morning.

Wishing everyone a good day, thinking of those with worries or illness to cope with.

Good morning all. A cloudy start to the day in Glasgow reaching a high of 22deg.

I had a busy day ticking off my garden to do task list yesterday. Warm enough too to wear shorts and a top. More of the same today with my cousin popping in for coffee at some point, I may be a long coffee break as we both talk non stop. 😁

Wishing everyone a pleasant Sunday especially those coping with illness and worries.

Good morning from south Glos, a warm day ahead, yesterday there was a pleasant breeze. Tiddler and I had a lovely walk around the lanes while DH took bigger dog off for a much longer one from the next village.
I had a peaceful morning, did more pastel drawing and fiddled around with different techniques- it’s all very new to me and I’m really enjoying it.
Tiddler accompanied me, snoozing in her bed, such a little poppet, bigger dog prefers to lay on the patio or stay indoors.
Today more of the same, I must tackle the ironing first.
My roses and clematis are looking wonderful this year, the foxgloves are beginning to come into flower and I have so many bees.
A wonderful time of the year.
Take care everyone 🌹

Good morning from a dry Bristol.
I had to soak one of my new perennials as it was wilted, fortunately, it picked up afterwards.
I had a quiet day yesterday, but went to a concert in the evening. Wind instruments only; Gounod, Beethoven and R. Strauss wind concerti. Very pleasant.
Today, a PCC AGM after the service, then just a quiet afternoon.
I hope the FGTs are home safely and not too anxious, everyone else is free from pain or anxiety.
Have a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where the high is forecast to be 26°C.

Did a lot of housework yesterday and then made the mistake of clipping my dog’s claws. Took just a tiny bit too much off one of his back claws and it bled like mad. I dipped it in cornflour but he kept licking it off. My house resembled a scene from True Crime! Honestly, I don’t know how murderers manage to clean up as I washed the floors three times and am still not sure I’ve got it all!

Had a visit from DS and his lovely girlfriend who had brought me a beautiful orchid for Mother’s Day (which is today). I hope I don’t kill it off.

Last night DD3 took me to an open air concert to see Gigi d’Alessio, one of my favourite Italian singers. As always he didn’t disappoint and we had a lovely time.

Today we have a Mothers Day lunch with DD3’s in laws and family so I’ll get to see my beloved boys.

Wishing a good day to you all.☀️

Good morning Mick and all who follow- I’m about to enjoy my chamberpot of Yorkshire Gold ☕️ before trotting out for a paper.

Yesterday was spent at Caernarfon Castle Food festival in glorious 🌞 listening to different bands playing as we wandered around dozens of stands - the artisan pies were 😋

Today will be spent pottering in PGTowers grounds assisting the Head Gardener with hedge trimming advice…always goes down well when I squint and tell him it’s not straight 🤣

Another hospital run tomorrow as my friend has a cataract consultation and won’t be able to drive afterwards but will be able to visit the Factory Outlet…🤗

A peaceful Sunday to you all with 💐 for all with troubles x
