Good morning from the Algarve. Today another lazy day enjoying the sun. We will go out for dinner at the marina later to one of our favourite restaurants.

Hope everyone has a good day

Good Morning from Cyprus - at the risk of sounding boring, it’s bright and sunny again!
Sad news from soop yesterday.
Hoping for positive posts from MD and FGT later.

Best wishes to all. X

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

I have another day school today - this time on African quilting. I have loads of cotton samples from when we had curtains made not long ago. Lunch is provided and it should be a good day.

Thinking of MD and the FGT2S.

Good morning from a sunny S E Essex.

DS4’s children have sports day today, I m going this morning for GD’s and DH will go this afternoon for GS’s.

The 10yr old is coming for dinner and a sleepover after football this evening.

Oh and the builders are here at 8.30am to tart taking the floor up in part of the hall…

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Morning Mick, morning All from a cooler, sunny corner of Somerset.

An early start today for dental checkups. I know I’ll need a further appointment for at least one filling and hope the dentist doesn’t find more needing doing. Mr C has no dental qualms, sadly I’m a wobbly jelly as soon as we arrive. We plan a wander to a neighbouring sea front once we escape to make the most of the sun.

Many congratulations to Iris, that must feel better ash.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning, a sunny start here in south Glos after yesterday’s sunshine and showers.
I felt like I got nothing much done yesterday but at least my runner and French beans, courgette and tomato plants are potted up.
This morning I’m doing a new dog walk from the next village with a coffee and cake stop on the way back to the car, DH might join us if he has nothing better planned.
Then housework, get the washing out on the line and some weeding and pottering in the garden I think.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning from s somerset, sunny today and warm enough

I purposely did not do much of anything yesterday, a bit of tidying here and there, some spinning and I watched a very good film called love on the dole 1941, it was in black and white on youtube and thought provoking

I will be cycling to the allotment this morning and will be de-weeding. I am taking my hori hori and some green manure seeds, a variety that will grow very quickly. I need to get goodness into the soil asap, to give it some life and structure

Have a good day

Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay.

Congratulations to Iris; she has done well! Yes, thank you, grandMattie, my solo shopping trip to Lidl went well. Being there early (just after seven o’clock) meant that I didn’t have to deal with other people being in the way as I manoeuvred the trolley round the shop. In fact there were more staff around than customers! I claimed my birthday gift of a free chocolate donut and used the £10 voucher, added to my account by the Customer Services Dept after my complaint about our previous visit when the Lidl Plus app failed to register my bill. Back home, I coped with carrying my purchases up the steps from the car, too, by which time it was raining quite heavily!

Thinking of the FGTs and Marydoll and any others who face health difficulties.

Have a good day! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from a sunny Bristol. The rain was short lived yesterday but was very welcome.
Iris had a Riding for the Disabled regional competition yesterday. She came first in her category and is now going to take part in the Nationals. #proudgrandma
I was very tired yesterday after another busy day, so went to bed early, having watched the “Chelsea detective”. Gentle and silly.
Tai chi this morning, then a trip to the bank in town before going to my weekly dinner at DD’s.
I hope this finds everyone in a good place, that MD has a successful meeting with the medics, that FGT are reunited, that Ash’s solo foray to the shops was successful.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where it is cloudy with a high of 27°C forecast.

A good day with the boys yesterday, they keep me on my toes!
I took them to nursery and both went in happily and I heard a huge cheer and round of applause for DGS2 who was back after his ten days absence due to his op.

Just having my coffee before going over to watch them again today. They have nursery this afternoon but their other gp’s will take them today.

Wishing the best day possible for all.☀️
