Good morning from a grey wet Cambridgeshire. Need to catch up on housework today downstairs and then tackle the ironing pile. DH has his flu jab this morning and then breakfast club with the boys. If it stops raining later hopefully we will get out for a walk.

Have a good day everyone

Good morning from a wet day in Turkey hopefully it may brighten up later.
No plans apart from reading inside today.
DH and I are both coughing, as are lots of other people.
All good on the home front, S has recovered and is loving college fingers crossed that her health stays good.
Enjoy your day, best wishes to all xx

Good morning everyone from a rainy Northampton; heavy rain forecast later, so not sure whether to venture out for my dance classes, as it will mean a wet walk to the bus stop; both friends who usually kindly give me a lift are on holiday.

A busy day yesterday; I decided to get the furniture emptied in the second bedroom ready for the new carpet arriving hopefully on Monday. While I was at it I also swapped my wintet/summer wardrobes, had a trying on session and now have a large bin bag with clothes that I shall not get into again... It also gave me a chance to re-organise storage for spare duvets, bedding etc.

Depending on the weather not sure how my day will pan out yet; if I decide against venturing out it will give me a chance to catch up with reading or recorded tv programmes. And it will be more restful than yesterday!

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is still dark. It’s going to be a wet day today. I didn’t spend much time in the house yesterday. Out early morning for walking group and then home briefly to change and straight out to the hairdressers. I don’t know why she has an appointment system. I could have gone half an hour later and still had to wait.
This morning I shall clean the inside windows in the lounge and clean all the pictures ready to go back on the walls. School volunteering this afternoon when I will meet my new Year 4 group.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Malta where it is cloudy but we are promised a sunny day with a high of 24°C. Much cooler than of late.

Nothing much planned for today apart from my usual hair appointment.

Hoping the boys might visit after school. I miss them but am very glad they have settled so happily. They are in the same class but their teacher says they don’t bother with each other much and have made other friends!

Will soon get up and put myself through half an hour of torture! I hate exercising but it’s necessary and I feeel virtuous once it’s done!

Have a good day all.☀️

A tremendous effort by your grandaughters and their fellow pupils for the food bank, grandMattie!

Good morning from a breezy Torbay following overnight rain.

No plans for today although we will probably venture out somewhere whilst the cleaner works her magic. The limited space makes it difficult for her to get around (to say nothing of our muddles!!) if we’re both here.

Wishing everyone as good a day as possible, free from worry and pain. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from a wet Bristol.
Iris had a very nice birthday; her sister organised a non-uniform day for her. It was in the guise of collecting tins and/or money for the food bank almost opposite the school. They raised over £1000 towards it!
Iris liked my present of a (exorbitant) drinking cup thingy. She liked my card even more - I printed off a horse head drawing and pasted it onto a blank card.
We went to a local Japanese restaurant with the other GPs. When they heard that it was her birthday, the staff presented her with a portion of tiramisu with a candle on it! Lovely gesture.
The family insisted that I had been to this restaurant with them before. I said that I had never eaten Japanese food as DH wasn’t keen on raw fish, etc. We only ate out with the family, very, very rarely as a couple.
I enjoyed my”day off”. I pottered napped, planted my daffodils and pansies in the pots..
Today, I must get vegetables from the greengrocer for the harvest festival display on Sunday, Spanish class and the occasional WI book group. The latter depends on the weather. I shall not go out in the pouring rain!
Hugs all round, especially to the FGTs and MD, and am happy for those whose health has improved, who have recently joined…
Carpe diem 💐🦩🦩🦩🦩🌷
