Good morning from Shropshire.Rain forecast from midday.

A day at home but quite a lot on the to do list as a busy week ahead again.We too have sibling wars with the grandchildren!Yesterday it was over a single piece of Lego which was vital to both their creations🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Ash I am so glad things have improved so much for you and you are able to go out and about again with confidence.

Love the bee cushion karmalady.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🌻🦩

Good morning from Leamington where a mixture of sun and showers is forecast.
Yesterday I watched DGD4 at her swimming lesson. She is now in the top group and it's mainly about stamina as they do length after length.
In the afternoon she went to a party, DGD3 went into town with her friends and S and I played numerous games of Uno (she is very competitive). She wasn't feeling too good but wouldn't admit to it and it caused a few words.
Nothing is planned for today apart from an early roast as DGD4 has a singing lesson at 5.
Wishing you all a lovely Sunday, best wishes xx

Good morning from sunny but chilly Cambridgeshire. I have been awake since 5 am and reading. I enjoyed my trip into Cambridge yesterday and bought a new duvet set. Just need to get on with decorating the bedroom now! I gardened all afternoon with a pleasing result.

Not much happening here today. I will cook roast pork and do more gardening and reading. Next week will be a busy one so will enjoy a quietish day today.

Hoping everyone has a good Sunday

Kittylester I hope your husband isn't too unwell with covid and you escape it.

Yesterday’s hunt for small bags to house the tangle prone necklaces led to a major sort out of kitchen drawers which I hadn’t planned but which was sorely needed. So often one small job leads to another big one - or so it seems.

We are promised a dry day so maybe a bit of gentle garden tidying after church this morning. Missing FGT.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, but showers are forecast this afternoon.

So it will be another day 'home alone' for me, as it was yesterday. Just took it slowly, pottered about, read the papers, and caught up with a lot of tv. Cooked a nice steak for dinner and spent the evening watching Billy Joel on BBC2. What a talented composer/performer! More of the same today, except tonight's dinner is a mini gammon joint from Waitrose.

Wishing all a good day.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire.

Yesterday it rained almost nonstop here again and I didn’t get out for a walk. Hoping we manage a walk today as I’m getting cabin fever! It’s warmer and not as windy, so fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for you too Grammaretto, hope the rain holds off and the garden party goes well.

Hope your leg pain lessens Kalu and you enjoy your Perthshire trip.

Lovely cushions Karma.

Glad the fete went well Marydoll, enjoy the ballet.

Sending positive vibes to FGT2 and Himself.

As always, my thoughts are with those dealing with illness and troubles, I hope the day brings you some comfort.

Have the best day you can, happy Sunday 🌹

Good morning from a sunny (for a change) south coast.
Yesterday’s visit to the Garden Show at Broadlands was really enjoyable as we managed to do all that we wanted to before the thunder and torrential rain. Today will be spent potting up and planting my wares!!
I have an hour of free electricity between 10 and 11 this morning and as my own washing is up to date it will have to be Peggy’s bedding. I simply can’t waste anything free!! 😂
Hope everyone has a peaceful and enjoyable Sunday.

Good Morning from a bright, dry, sunny Durham. DGS2’s 4th birthday party was a success, although I got soaked to the skin just getting there from the carpark. Sad to see how frail his other Granny is, although she’s flying to Majorca today for 2 weeks.
All the tennis talk reminds me of being at Roland Garros, as DH’s company was one of the sponsors. I remember Tim Henman being warned for swearing!
Not a lot planned today, I’m feeling a bit chilled, but I’ve a bag of DD2’s laundry to keep me occupied and a few petunias to plant.

Best wishes to all.

Good morning from a sunny but breezy midlands. A day tidying up the garden.
Here’s a sweater I made for charity.

Good morning,
Sunshine and cloud here today with yet again a strong, chilly breeze. It would probably feel warmer if it wasn’t so breezy, though on the other hand I think it would rain - at least the breeze is blowing the clouds away for now.
I do hope you can have your ring repaired and re-sized Greyduster.

To make made to measure cushions, the book called house, £20 from the foldline. I had my money back just by making one cushion. Very easy instructions, just use your own measurements. A very nice project tbh

I would quite like smaller cushions, maybe one day but transferring feathers into another cushion casing is no fun. I remember my mother doing that grin
