Good morning from a very still, balmy Cornwall. Yesterday's weather forecast was completely wrong and I spent until 7pm on my allotment, with cloud and cooling wind making ideal conditions for digging new beds. Such a joy.

Today I need to unstiffen my overworked body 😂 and just potter on my patio until I go for an optician's appointment this afternoon.

The pics are a robin's nest that has fallen out of a tree and the reason why the robin goes into my greenhouse - to shred fleece for his nest!

Good morning Mick and everyone from a dull start to the day in Cheshire. It's been a very hot night and I've had the fan going and been out for a while in the cool air. The blackbird was up early too.
My cousin sent me a gift of a bird feeder with a camera, which will be today's challenge setting it up. The squirrels who raid my rose buds will be curious about a new source of food. It comes with instructions of how to deter inquisitive squirrels and involves advice on how far they cannot jump.

That task and Wimbledon will fill the day nicely.

Wishing all a good day, with special thoughts for those with sadness or worries.

White rabbits 🐇 🐇🐇🐇

Good morning from Lithuania. The sun is shining butbth3 temperature is perfect!

We had an easy transfer from A to B involving 2 buses and a coach journey.

The apartment is just right, in the centre of Kaunas. We were able to walk all over the old town, including seeing the confluence of the two rivers, although, due to the strong wind (again), it was difficult to see which way the water was flowing.

Everything seems very new, prosperous, and happy. No beggars, no apparently homeless people, I’ve only seen two obese people.

Museums today - fabric, craft, history, art…. We leave tomorrow.

Have a good day. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a very hot and sticky Black Country. Hence I am up so early which is very unusual for me.

Went to Line Dancing yesterday afternoon, they had fans on but it was still too warm, but managed an hour. A lot less people there than usual.

Driving over to Mums today, then we are meeting my Aunt and Cousin (Mums sister and Niece) for lunch. Then I will take Mum food shopping and top up her Dosset box.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning early birds and what a cute little nest Mizuna 🤗. Still feels muggy but our bedroom is east facing so has cooled by the time for bed!

A lovely day watching tennis yesterday and I’ve dropped my handkerchief at Alcaraz feet, hussy that I am…🤭 gosh what a charming handsome young man he is!

Now I’ve admitted my guilty secret I’m off with the chamberpot to sit under the trees and cool my mind down and will catch up with everyone later 👋

Good morning from a very warm Torbay.

Mizuna: I hope the robin is safe with a nest so low. Wonderful how innovative creatures can be.

Good luck with setting up the feeder and camera, Sallyforth.

Our early foray to Lidl yesterday paid off as it was virtually empty. We felt like contestants on Supermarket Sweep! An added bonus was the 10% discount received at the till as I’d spent over £250 in the past month. We were home with everything stashed by 9.00am.

DH had a successful visit to the dentist where the cost was lower than the initial quotation. I went to the car wash, picked up a few items in Asda, including a dress that isn’t floor length unlike so many this season! After my exercise class, I was quite tired but managed a walk over the Downs to the pub before buying fish and chips to enjoy at home. Needless to say we have slept well.

Off to Props this morning whilst my cleaner is here.

A good day to everyone. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is blissfully overcast and cool. It was horrendously hot yesterday and apart from a couple of forays into the garden to hang and retrieve laundry, I didn’t go out. At half past four in the afternoon, it was 35 degrees outside. I watered the garden at half past nine.
I shall go to gym early this morning - I didn’t make it yesterday. Then my SiL is leaving his car in my drive for a few days and I have to given him a lift back to work. Volunteering this afternoon and I hope it’s cool enough to walk to school. A nice shower of rain would fit the bill!
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning, a bright spot in south Glos here, light clouds but already 17° so out for dog walking very soon.
Yesterday was too hot, I had a headache by mid afternoon despite drinking plenty of water.
Tiddler and I had a lovely morning in the Shed, I finished my pencil drawing and I’m really pleased with the way it turned out. I didn’t really start the negative painting watercolour because it was drying too quickly so maybe today.
Salad for dinner again today, DH will grump but it’s too hot to cook in my opinion!
Take care everyone 🌹

Ash, it's an old nest. Apparently robins build a new nest for each brood, so I imagine the bird is busy plundering my greenhouse for its next clutch. 😁

Good morning from Malta where it’s going to hit 39°C later.

Pantglas you and me both! I love Alcaraz although he did make me a nervous wreck yesterday!😰

It’s my 69th birthday today and whilst I’m very grateful for another trip around the sun, the ‘glass half empty’ in me can’t help feeling a pang of fear that I’m another year nearer to my expiry date!😂😂

I’m with the boys and will be taking them to nursery later as their grandpa is unwell.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good Morning from a heavily overcast, still, Durham.
It’s been an uncomfortable night. The carpet cleaning went well. Poor man, what a job on such a hot day.
A problem with Octopus last night - a huge random overcharge. I emailed as soon as I saw it and just hope it can be easily sorted out. I’ve had trouble with Octopus before, their customer service is great, but I really shouldn’t need it!
Our cul de sac is being resurfaced today, so I’m off to move my car, as I’m meeting a friend for coffee at 10.30 and need to use the road. It’s bin day, so I’ve no idea how they’ll manage that.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from another hot and sunny day, I love this weather 🌞🌞🌞

I have some ironing to do first thing, then I think I will make a quiche for dinner later.

Wishing you a very happy birthday Bellasnanna 🎂🥂🥳

Enjoy Lithuania grandMattie

Morning all from a rapidly warming West Oxfordshire.

White rabbits 🐇!
It would have been my parent’s 73rd wedding anniversary today.

I managed to do a Waitrose shop yesterday but by the afternoon it was too hot for me to be outside. Our cleaner however, did a magnificent job.

It is the WI coffee morning which I always enjoy.

After lunch I will pop round and see friends. The husband of one of our group had a massive stroke a couple of weeks ago and I am afraid there is no hope.

OH will go to his Shooting club tonight. He hasn’t been for four weeks as we were doing our pottery course. We are waiting for the email letting us know our efforts are fired and ready for collection.

Have a good day and keep hydrated.

Good morning from mid Essex, a bit of patchy cloud but mostly blue skies and sunshine. A pleasant 21 degrees in the garden. I went to the garden centre yesterday, but didn’t buy any plants as it’s too dry to plant anything. My hose is leaking so another visit to the garden centre for a new one soon. Meanwhile I’m emptying the water barrels!
I’ll visit my dementia friend later, otherwise nothing planned.
Have the best day possible everyone, thinking of those who are struggling for whatever reason.
I hope madeleine is ok, she hasn’t posted for a while. Best wishes to the fgts.

Good morning all. A fresh sunny morning in Glasgow after a muggy night, windows open but no breeze, I brought a fan up to the bedroom. In hindsight, I should probably have slept downstairs which was much cooler.

Gardener will be here today to help me move pots and garden furniture in preparation for a landscaping project which begins on Friday. I’m dreading the upheaval but looking forward to the finished result.

The glorious peonies here are a joy to see in the morning. So uplifting.

35deg. heat must have been unbearably hot Greyduster. I would not have been outdoors either, just can’t take such temperatures now. 25deg. with a gentle breeze is my limit.

Have the best day possible all.

Happy birthday bellasnana.

Happy Birthday, Bellasnanna 🎂

Happy birthday Bellasnana and…..many happy returns of the day. 🎂. I wouldn’t mind being 69 again!

Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow, where it is 12°C.
We certainly don't have the high temperatures here, that some of you are mentioning.

Have a lovely birthday, Bella, and Grambaretto, I hope your op went well.

I am so congested that I can hear very little. Is so isolating. What is really annoying ne is that DH is so impatient with me and thinks it is amusing to mouth the words and not actually speak.

Mu plan is to work in the garden today, I haven't been well enough to do it recently
Life is such a struggle just now, it is hard to be positive.
Our friend's transplant was due to take place today, but it has been cancelled again. DH has taken it quite badly and is so grumpy, I plan to avoid him as much as possible. 😉

I wish you all a pleasant day.

Good morning everyone and happy birthday, Bellasnana. 🎂

Yesterday was too hot to do a 40 minute walk outdoors so I did an indoor walk using a "Walk With Leslie" on You Tube. She was recommended to me and, while I prefer outdoor walking, she's a good alternative.

The jackdaws are going mad here, with the smaller birds filling in the gaps so I suspect we're in for a storm.
I'll go and water the garden pots anyway in case it passes over.
Take care all. 🌻

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday Bellsasnana. I truly thought Alcaraz was going out at the end of the 4th set. Not sure my DGD3 was overly impressed with the lack of attention she got after school yesterday as I was watching the match. She was drawing and colouring at the same time.

Good morning from a22degree W Kent, where I shall spend another day doing little apart from the ironing and watching tennis. Very little sleep here.
Happy birthday Bellasnana

Good morning Mick and everyone from a rather grey Carlisle.
Yesterday morning I had my ears checked out by the surgery nurse. A 2 minute job which pleased her as she was already behind time. All clear for my hearing test next week.
Then it was back to the vacuuming followed by time in the garden after lunch to deal with the golden privet stump, a hard job I only half finished, the remainder today?
Kitchen and bathrooms this morning, a walk or the garden this afternoon plus I must finish an admin job, papers are spread all over the place. I'm trying to sort out my important documents and get them into a fireproof box I've just acquired.

Happy Birthday Bellasnana, I also would't mind being 69 again!

🎂🥂 Bellasnana have a lovely day.
