Good morning from overcast Wiltshire.

Yesterday I managed to break a glass shelf in our large upright freezer in the garage pushing it back as something was stuck. It exploded into thousands of fragments. Luckily it was the 2nd from bottom shelf but took me an hour to clear away all the glass which was both inside the freezer and all over the floor.

Today we have DGS2 (4) who is at nursery Mon-Wed but DD2 has changed one of her workdays to today as she has to go into her office in Bath for a work event. We haven’t had him for a while so wish us luck! He goes to school in September.

We all have colds after our weekend in Weymouth. This meant DH went to bed during the afternoon - everyone else is just getting on with it.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey cloud with rain in the forecast
Aww Bellas precious moments indeed ❤️
A quick trip to DD2s this morning but other than that nothing planned until my favourite dance class this evening. I’m hoping it stays dry so I can get out into the garden and potter outside for a while
Ash a sad day watching your cousins funeral
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from a sticky North Leicestershire.

I am helping facilitate a Teams Carer Learning session this morning. First time using Teams for this rather than zoom - hope it goes well.

Sainsbury's delivery later.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Art group this morning, no idea what to paint but plenty of chat. Packing this afternoon ready for a weekend away.
Best wishes

Good morning, it’s grey skies here in south Glos, some very light drizzle isn’t making any impression on the very dry garden.
We had a lovely early dog walk yesterday morning but by the time we got back to the car at 7 it was muggy.
I did 3 loads of washing which all dried so ironing to do this morning.
I have sewing group this afternoon, I haven’t been for a while, I have no idea what I will take to do! I’m sure I will find something, I have a number of kits I have been given over the years.
I bathed tiddler yesterday, she’s such a funny little sausage, she gives me such dirty looks it makes me laugh! She and bigger dog are a delightful pair, I’m very lucky to have them.
Sending good wishes to you all 🌹

Good morning from an overcast Torbay where we’ve had overnight rain which has just started again.

A sad day here as I will be watching my cousin's funeral being live streamed this afternoon. He was younger than me and had a glittering military career, passing through Welbeck and Sandhurst before rising through the ranks to Colonel by the time he retired. For his last post he was in charge of the pensioners at Chelsea Barracks and a few years ago he led them in the Armistice Day Parade. He died on my birthday last month and, coincidentally, today would have been my late sister's 79th birthday. RIP. ✝️

Thinking of those in pain or with worries of any kind. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a humid Black Country where it is currently raining.

Arrived home yesterday around 6.30pm. Flight left 2.00pm bang on time. Have been away in Portugal for almost 3 weeks! Quite happy to be home. Then a call off DD to say her DH was in A & E. He is home now, seems he had torn a muscle but he had chest pains, that is why he was sent to A&E.

Washing machine is already on the go. We each only took a 10Kg bag, and that was more than enough, in fact I had one dress I didn't wear.

DGD3 (16 next month) had her Prom last night. She looked very elegant in her dress.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning from damp South Lanarkshire.

Precious moment Bellasnana.

I had a slightly embarrassing experience when I went to collect the youngest GC from nursery yesterday. The children were playing outside so I called his name when I was admitted to the garden, he looked at me as if he’d never seen me before and wouldn’t leave his game. Rather awkward when the staff members on duty that day had never met me. grin

A quiet day ahead probably as I’ve absolutely no plans so will just see where the day takes me.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 14° and wet. Bellasnana that's a lovely moment. Treasure it definitely. Greyduster I hope you feel better today.
Yesterday I did some of the cross stitch kit in the morning then my friend picked me up. We went to a new (to me) local café which was very nice, if a bit noisy. We put the world to rights then she drove me home and gave me strawberries from her garden.
Today I misread the time and got up, thinking it was nearly seven. Oops. I'm having a coffee and will get moving soon. No plans for today but I'll do more cross stitch. The weather doesn't look promising so I'll delay doing washings til tomorrow. Have a good day all

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Overcast in South Yorkshire and rain is expected this morning. Yesterday was a warm one and I felt under the weather for most of it, but I did some ironing, weeded the patio and then spent most of the afternoon, as there was no writers group this week, in a semi torpor.
Gym this morning followed by walkers group, lunch with DD and then a visit to the garden centre on the way home.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Malta where we are sweltering in 38°C with a forecast of 40°C over the weekend.

Boys were angels yesterday, played happily until 11 when both decided to go for a nap. DGS2 went to sleep holding my hand, precious moments. I took a photo of his sweet little hand in my gnarly old paw. Frozen moments. They grow up too fast.🥲

I am just drinking my coffee then I’ll be off again. Might bring them back to mine if they want to play in the paddling pool.Will see what they want to do.

Wishing a good day to you all.☀️

Good morning from a grey Bristol.
We have been forecast rain this morning but, like previous forecasts, they are probably wrong.
The FAB cafe was quieter yesterday, but still very cheerful and chatty. Just what they for.
The afternoon was spent reading and sewing.
Today, just tai chi. More sewing, no doubt.
Any news of*FGT*? All the best to everyone. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
