Good morning from a dry and sunny NE, probably still cool as the heating is on.
Spent about an hour in the garden spraying the weeds, my neighbour came to chat. She wanted me to know she is going on holiday in a few weeks. I pick up her post, there is never very much these days as most companies are paperless. This lady does not have a computer, I wonder how that works.
Just need to do some housework in preparation for family coming tomorrow.
Have a good weekend.

Good Morning from Durham.
After a full on day yesterday, DGS1 had a sleepover here and didn’t wake until 8am. We’re both ready to meet DGS2 for breakfast at 10.30, then I’ll take DGS1 home and head for a nearby big(ish) garden centre for quite a bit of stuff. L
A relaxed afternoon will suit me!

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from. a dry N.Bucks.
Home from holiday with DDs having had a lovely week with lots of fun and laughter.
Laundry to put in and a local food shop to do, the fridge is bare. Bits and bobs for the rest of the day . Homemade Lasagne for dinner which I must get out of the freezer.
Wishing all a good day with a smile along the way.

Morning, the sun has just broken through high cloud, I’ll get the bedding washed and out in a minute.
I had an unsettled night with a vivid dream that had me screaming, it frightened MrJ, I'm blaming it on my shingles jab.
My car passed its MOT, two new tyres needed soon, she had a service too, all by our local mechanic and £100 cheaper than the main dealer.
Usual Saturday with the newspaper, there’s a village fete locally I might go to this afternoon.
Your weekend sounds glorious Sar I hope your lurgy improves.
I too was pleased to hear from Blossoming.

Good morning from a dull northwest coast. I enjoyed getting back to the art group, where the chat seems more important than the artwork, however it’s therapeutic and I’m quite pleased with my watercolour. In fact I concentrate more when I work at home, but like the company.

I’m waiting for the plumber to contact me regarding my hidden leak, it’s always the weekend isn’t it?
Off soon to Church fair on the other side of town and a quiet day in store, but plenty of decluttering to carry on with.
Thoughts to all🌺

Good morning everyone from a cloudy, dry Northampton. The forecast looks good for the next couple of days, so I am pleased for my gardeners who are coming this afternoon for the first time.

Before that I need to pop down to the shops for a few things, and will probably find time for a coffee in M&S.

I had a good day out yesterday, although I failed to spend my M&S voucher - there was a dismal offering in the Rushden Lakes store. I will need to go to Milton Keynes! I did find a nice sweater in H&M, and had a nice pasta lunch and wine in Wildwood.

The carpet company man arrived on time yesterday morning with samples of carpets for my second bedroom; he measured up, confirmed that they would deal with moving the furniture if I emptied it and gave me a quote which I accepted. Fitting will be the beginning of October.

Looking forward to having a nice tidy garden later today!

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

Just a quick hello as we’re off later on holiday to Devon. We haven’t finished packing!

Have a lovely day.

Good morning from a slightly sunny south coast. Slept like a log last night thank goodness. Maybe I’ll have more energy today.
DD and DSiL are in Pembrokeshire visiting DGD2. A twelve hour round trip to deliver all her indoor plants!!
Housework, gardening or sorting out cupboards today. Such choices!!
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from South Lanarkshire, very dull sky but dry at the moment.

Lovely evening to look forward to NannyJan, I hope you both have a wonderful time.

Cocktails in your beach hut Pantglas, what a perfect way to celebrate the end of summer, serious envy here😊😎!

And another happy morning gathering cornergran, good luck to your DGD on the start of her Uni adventure, lots of happy events on here this morning.

I’ll get some much needed tidying done now before meeting two friends for lunch, so a nice day for me too.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

The next door village has its Harvest Home celebration today and it looks as though the weather will favour it, the last outdoor event of the summer round here. Need to brave the supermarket I think though could leave it a bit longer, but have nothing planned so it would perhaps be sensible to get it over with. During lockdown such a trip was the highlight of the week!

JamesandJon, sorry I missed your post regarding your DH's fall. Thank goodness not much damage done, and hope he is recovering.
