Good morning from a bright N.Bucks.
I’m going to watch DGs2s sports day this morning. Car parking will be impossible so I’ll walk. 10minutes walk for most but will probably take me at least 20.
Baby sitting this evening and we’ll look forward to the hill that DD is leaving for us.
Wishing all a good day with a smile along the way.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Last night was hot and clammy and I think I slept for 15 hours. Lucky to be able to.
I shall do my volunteer shift this morning though I am not feeling like it.

Good luck with your operation today
Grandmabatty 🍀 🤞
I have mine in a couple of weeks.

I can imagine your feelings gMattiewhen you heard about that plane crash.

Hoping everyone has a good day.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
Dark clouds keep coming over as they did yesterday but no rain! I'm envying those of you that have had it as I'm probably going to have to start watering again. I checked on our reservoirs last night to find they are still down so what rain we have had has been insufficient. We have been able to see the remains of the drowned village under Haweswater, an unusual sight.

I was out in the garden yesterday afternoon, hacking into my clayey soil to plant a rhododendron, hot sweaty work in the sultry heat....24°C. Growth has exploded everywhere so the hacking back of bushes was in order. My currants are colouring and my peas have podded. Nothing like fresh peas straight out of the pod and into the pot. Otherwise they aren't my favourite vegetable.

Today, a stack of ironing beckons and the continued chasing of action from a plumber.

glammagran, thanks for that advice. My neighbour has also noticed the bees and told me the same thing last night so I shall be taking note of both of you and no more honey! Not that these bees are interested, it's very odd.

Best wishes to grandmabatty and Iris and to everyone of you suffering problems.

Good morning all and it’s pleasantly cool at the moment. Hot this afternoon.
DGD stayed the night, as Dd has another early appointment at the hospital for another scan. She has dye put through her, so won’t be able to be near gd for 8 hours. I’ll pick her up from school and give her tea, then I’ll take her home this evening as she’s longing to see their new puppy. 🐶. It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

I thought of you yesterday Grandmatty , when I heard the terrible news from India.

Hope all goes well for your op Grandmabatty

Enjoy the art LLF.

Hoping you all have a good day 🌼

Good morning from Cambridgeshire. It’s been and up and down week for various reasons but a very dear friend and her husband are here for the weekend which will be lovely.

Hoping everyone has a good day. Sometimes you have to dust yourself down and get on with it don’t you 🌺

Morning, we had rain yesterday morning which led to a humid afternoon, I had the kindly hygienist, then a chat with the dentist about implants estimate of £20k, ouch!
In the afternoon a funeral, very well attended and very sad, at 55 he had more life to live.
Butchers, stretch class, pharmacy, Tesco delivery and pub today.
I can understand your worry yesterday gMattie, phew.
I hope you’re early on the list today gbatty home and feet up.
May those struggling have a peaceful day.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

My clicky jaw is on the mend, I’m off the painkillers for which I am very grateful as they make me feel so woozy. Yesterday morning we went out for a local walk across the bridge after a quick breakfast of banana and a yogurt. It was a sunny morning with just the right amount of breeze, it turned cloudy and a bit muggy later. We had one short sharp shower of rain in the evening.

We are planning a walk this morning as it seems to suit me better. I think my energy levels are higher then. I’m up, showered and dressed, meds taken, enjoying my usual breakfast of banana and yogurt and drinking an enormous mug of tea. I am still counting my blessings at waking up every morning in my own bed with the en suite there whenever I need it. I’ll need to dry my hair before we go out, it doesn’t take long now it’s shorter.

Hope all goes well today for Grandmabatty.

I hope you don’t have to wait too long for your hip surgery Glammagran

Hope everything goes smoothly for those with medical appointments today.

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 Friday 🌹

Good morning, everyone from the south coast where the weather looks promising and the garden awaits but that will be after my second attempt at gluten free sourdough. The first was a disaster and came out of the oven looking like a soggy, sunken fruit cake. Gf baking can be a bit of a challenge!
Thank you again for the birthday good wishes. If anything, the rain made it more of a laugh trying to explore a garden between downpours, feeling sorry for the poor teachers trying to marshal their charges who seemed to be having a great time.
Hope everyone has a good day and best wishes to those dealing with sadness or worry.
