Just popping in to say a very late Good morning/afternoon from a wet muggy Cambridgeshire fenland. So lovely to see Madeleine back. I had an early start today as needed to take Dgs2 to an Inflatabounce to a party. That was an experience with over 20 bouncy castles and so many children so hyped up running and bouncing everywhere. After two hours of fun 😬 and a headache lurking we escaped home where I have my 16 and 6 year old grandsons spending the afternoon with us. It is pouring with rain. Whilst DH is amusing the boys I am crashed reading all the good morning posts and trying to summon up some energy. Dgs2 has found the treat box and is happily munching away.

Bellasnana 💐

Have the best day you can everyone

Good afternoon all!
I love Gransnet! It’s so nice to compare notes, discuss worries and see how the other half lives! Many of you lead such busy and worthwhile lives, well done!
I’m surprised to say I’m not a club person, as I love people. I think it’s the fact that there are always one or two people in (some) clubs who leave a nasty taste in one’s mouth. I loathe bitchiness and people wanting to boast, and to my knowledge there are few clubs that don’t suffer those, (if you know of any in the (very) East Kent area, please let me know).
Today I am watching out of my kitchen window which overlooks one of the two main roads into Dover Port. It can get horrendously busy here because the tourist traffic is normally so heavy at the start of the School holidays. There are Marshalls controlling it all, and because the tourist traffic is lighter than normal, they are managing. This time last year, the holdups were unbelievable and Dover residents were hardly able to go anywhere easily. Dover came to a virtual standstill, so I don’t know why it’s less intrusive this time. Maybe more people travelled yesterday. It was certainly a lot busier than a normal Friday night when I looked.
I have no plans for today and will just see what the day brings.
Have a safe and pleasant day, everyone 💐

Better ‘boring’ than drama of any kind uttb. I enjoy your posts from Stockport. Everyone adds flavour to this thread. 😊

So sorry to hear about Buzz Bellasnana

My long weekend started on Thursday afternoon and I have been pottering around, eating, tidying, making sure I observe there is not rat on the eaves, making coffee and watching the greenery through the windows. - Small humble accommodation, amazing green hills to look at; the rain made it fresh looking and feeling this morning, fresher breezes also

My young teen bought too fast some pets on her roblox account so I have been teaching her to be wise with money

my current job is a plant which is in nature, so I enjoy the nature there in my lunch break too.

It couldn’t be more boring than mine Usedtobeblonde grin.

I can do very little these days but I’m just happy to be out of hospital and home!

GrandmaC47 Sat 19-Jul-25 18:12:41

So sorry about Buzz, Bella a hard decision to make.
I don’t even have anything boring to talk about, that’s why I love this forum 😀, living vicariously through your interesting lives.
