Good morning from South Lanarkshire. It’s still dark and I’ve no idea what the weather is like.

We’ve had a night of playing musical beds resulting in all three GC in with me, DH having given up and is probably sleeping peacefully elsewhere in the house.

No idea what we’ll do today.

Just sending good wishes to everyone for a good day.

Good morning, it’s dry here on my hillside in south Glos, wasn’t yesterday’s sunshine glorious? I got all the washing dried nicely, including the dogs’ beds.
Art group was very pleasant, it’s so good to spend a couple of hours in good company, I do look forward to my Friday mornings.
In the afternoon tiddler and I sat in my Shed with the doors and windows wide open, making the most of the sunshine. I still need to take the duster and vacuum cleaner down there, couldn’t be bothered yesterday!
I had a lovely long video call with DS, DDIL and DGS1 yesterday evening, catching up on all their news. DGS2 was at a friend’s house.
Today nothing exciting planned, an early dog walk then probably something arty I think. The forecast isn’t that good, heavy rain on its way, so let’s see how today goes.
Best wishes to you all 🌹

Good morning Mick and all to follow from a decidedly drenched north Wales coast - 🪣 🪣 🪣 of the dratted stuff so no chance of my forest bathing walk for a 🗞️🤬

On the bright side the handkerchief lawn at the rear of PG Towers is looking lush and green, a source of much pride for the Head Gardener who insists on a perambulation around it each evening…🤦‍♀️

Out this evening for an Indian with DGD and her lovely chap to celebrate their 1st Wedding Anniversary 🥂haven’t seen them for a while so they can regale us with their busy lives!

Belated congratulations to Susan’s mum on her 93rd and GMB - hope 🍰 was had aplenty 😋

💐 for all with tribulations, medical and familial, may you have a restful weekend x

Good morning from Bristol. It is surprisingly mild atm. I don’t know what to wear.
Yesterday’s Spanish went well. Only 6 have signed up, but two were missing this week. Our tutor asked us what we wanted to do this academic year. We are fairly advanced, using an IB text book, but still need to consolidate our grammar, me in particular.
DD collected me and we went to her house for a pumpkin soup lunch. It was very pleasant.
We went home and spent an absolutely horrible 2 hours trying to sort out some things required by the financial ombudsman. DH used to deal with finances, but since the scam, I have totally and completely lost any confidence in money. I spent most of the time in tears, feeling even less in control than usual. I sincerely hope I won’t have too many of these requests. It upends my self confidence, which is in very short supply anyway.
Today, I’m cleaning my bit of the church and getting ready for a whole load of Bramley and Japonicas from a friend. I’ll make mincemeat and apple/quince jellies.
Lovely news from FGT. Encouraging news from MD. I hope that oldd has got safely back into Ash arms. Love to those not mentioned.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️
