Good morning from a chilly but bright and sunny morning in Suffolk. I slept fitfully last night as I did on Tuesday,most atypical for me so I’m wondering if I’m cultivating something.!

I’ve decided not to go to my stretch class this morning but will meet my 3 friends for lunch as planned.

I’ve just moved my car as our neighbours use part of our garden for their log deliveries. As a log burner is the only means of heating their cottage which is very efficient their deliveries are quite frequent.

About to have my 2nd cuppa and read your posts. Hope everyone has the best day possible.

I’m missing posts from Ekwanimitee hope all is well,
My dental trip yesterday for a scan was uneventful until they rang later in the day, they need another one today, 45 minute round trip for 5 minute scan.
Our pub lessee celebrated one year of ownership with a free drink, food and music last night, so we nipped down with my son, met my daughter and our GD there, GS at football training. Funny, said pub was pretty busy!!
Washing today whilst it’s sunny, a walk and not sure what for dinner.
Good news from Blossoming yesterday 👍

Good morning from Shropshire.

I have only just woken up so haven’t read everyone’s posts yet.

I was meant to be going on a spa day with DD today but was woken by a message at 4am to say she thinks she has covid and feels dreadful so our pamper day is postponed.I didn’t think she seemed well when we dropped DGD off after dance last night.Apparently one of her colleagues was very unwell at the end of last week and has shared her germs with the rest of them😤

No plans so after the usual household jobs will probably read.As we had a few busy days planned everything is up to date.

Thoughts with FGT’s, dragonfly and her DH, Marydoll and all others struggling.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🦩🌻

Good morning from cloudy Lancashire. I have just finished my breakfast and am expecting a visit from MrB at 10am. I had a lovely day yesterday, we went to Lytham and had a very enjoyable walk along the very windy seafront.
Have a good day everyone, thoughts are with all going through tough times at the moment.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Dark and windy.
I find myself chatting to my volunteer helper over porridge so forget to post but I do try to read.

It seems like Good Morningers should all decamp to Malta for the duration. Enjoy your trip gMattie. Perhaps the manager will have moved out by the time you get home.

Well done your young swimming star Sar 🌟 👏

I'm off to yoga shortly and there's a free film at the town hall later on for the oldies Judy Garland but someone didn't proof-read so it's Julie Garland on the poster.

I hope all goes well for your DH Dragonfly
Thinking of Marydoll and FGT and all with worries.

Enjoy the day .

A late Good Morning from Durham. Blue sky and sunny here. Despite being up early, I’ve been waylaid by some serious matters that needed immediate attention. Why do the ‘wheels come off’ just when you think everything is going to plan.
Today is/was going to be my ‘me’ day without any plans, but that’s all changed now. Gardeners should be here later.
Thinking of those with health and mind problems (unlike mine) today.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning everyone from the east midlands, a cloudy,overcast day here again. Rather miserable in- fact!
I made the mistake of looking in the "Big mirror!"
Oh gosh, I looked like a camel/ capybara. Which is fine if you are said animals but not so good when your a lady of a certain age!
Do nostrils continue to grow a one gets older or am I freakish? 😶

What a lovely idea Grammaretto let's all decamp to Malta!

Good morning from a dull northwest coast. Excellent lunchtime recital yesterday and good rehearsal with the opera co. in the evening, although the numbers are down. People seem more interested in musicals or choirs. A few of us had a drink afterwards and when I returned home late my DS was waiting to borrow my car for a gig in Yorkshire. He did a couple of quick jobs for me before leaving.

I gave him a largeish acrylic landscape I painted for his recent 50th, which reminded me of a character in a novel I read who spent all her time painting bad pictures which she gave to the family for every birthday and Christmas etc. Fortunately my DS liked mine and had asked for one.
Thoughts to FGT dragonfly and all🌺

The hedge men have arrived! A day early but I'm a happy bunny. At last I'll get rid of the unsightly leylandii which has died in the middle and have a fence instead.
