Good Morning Friday 25th July 2025

Good morning from Cambridgeshire where it is forecast a sunny warm day. Yesterday was a very grey chilly rainy day until early evening when it brightened ready for DH to go to lawn bowls.

It has been a busy week enjoying lots of time with the little ones. Yesterday they made bookmarks for everyone and we laminated them and then each made beautifully decorated cards for their mummy whose birthday is next week. It got quite messy with cutting and sticking but the end result she will love I am sure. I now have (fingers crossed) for a few quiet days to rest up and hopefully shift this cold which is now hitting us all slowly and surely one by one🙈

Wishing everyone a good Friday

Good morning from a dry but dull corner of La Sarthe.

Yesterday, DH completed his second mow since we came over here. He has a lawn tractor so quite enjoys the job! Earlier this week we had a skilled chap here to paint the upstairs shutters and surrounds so the place is looking spruce. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the interior; DH is very untidy and his hobbies (model railways and photography) create muddles! It’s not my house so I have to live and let live although initially I tried to improve things.

A good weekend to you all. 🦩💐🇫🇷🥰🦩

Good morning all from light and bright north Wales where I’m up with sparrowfart as I’m taking a friend to have her other eye done (didn’t stop her winning twice at Bingo last night….👏💷)

That meal sounds delicious 😋 grandMattie and I’ve had some similarly interesting bus journeys…

I too now make lemon curd in the microwave - carefully, as the first time Mr PG kindly critiqued the result and named it Lemon Curdled…🤬

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

Bora da everyone from a dull, but clear South West Wales. Just watching the baby gull across the road…he should be fledging ( is that a word ) soon.
Just a visit to M&S today. A long ten mile journey but we are going to an outdoor theatre performance at the weekend and picnic food is a necessity.
Hope the weather is kind. Last year we got well and truly soaked and gave up half way.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Let’s try again shall we?? Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a rather grey South Yorkshire. I am planning to go to the gym today but must wait and see if the road resurfacing works which start this morning are, as stated, going to “severely restrict access” in and out of the estate. Yesterday GS and I had a very productive morning in the garage which now looks a whole lot tidier and is, for the moment, spider free (there were some big ‘uns!). I ran him home and spent a couple of hours with my niece on the way back.
It will be a quiet day today. If I can get the car out I’ll go to the library later.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a dry Bristol. We have had none of the rains from last week. It’s dry, dry, dry!
We had an interesting dinner in Clifton last evening, in a Sri Lankan restaurant. Heavy on the coconut, but delicious. It was to celebrate SiL and DS’s birthday at either end of the week.
I came home by bus, the journey was interesting. Firstly, there was a diversion because the road was closed, then there was a sudden very loud alarm. At the bus stop, the engine was cut out and the driver got out. He shouted at some boys at the back of the bus for fiddling with/leaning on the emergency exit, causing the alarm to set off. He then had to reset the door, check upstairs,Metz. When he restarted the bus, it came back on. Finally, he went outside to do something and at last the alarm stopped. The rest of the journey was uneventful, with some very sheepish boys in the back…
Today, I shall finish my pinafore dress. Also, this afternoon, I have my “salon”, with two neighbours and me having our hair cut.
May you have a pleasant Friday, and rise above all your troubles.
Carpe diem 🌷🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩
