Good morning from s somerset, cloudy, some light rain

Yesterday came and went and I am just waiting for my organic delivery, it always arrives early. I paid for my house insurance and made an appointment for an eye test, I definitely need another prescription for new varifocals. Water bill was paid yesterday and the new higher council tax bill is paid next week. It is going out faster than it comes in but paypal gave me an instant refund, a company took my money but did not provide

Today I will get my things ready, to paint my allotment shed next week, they will stop in the garage for now

No plan for today and a good day to stay off the roads, they will be busy with holiday traffic

Good morning from Bristol. We had a glorious, if windy, day yesterday. It has rained in the night as the road is wet.
Yesterday, I did go into town to get DGD’s earrings, but met one of my friends, a lay preacher, on the us. As she was early for her Maundy Thursday servic3 at the cathedral, we stopped for a coffee and chat.
I had a successful morning, got all the things I needed, including some chicken wings which always remind me of my Philip.
I stopped half way home, to the optician for my new glasses. They still slip off my face, so I shall have to go in again this morning for adjustment.
Once home, I washed the fabric for my quilt - I went in for Green but came back with some gorgeous blues (my favourite colour). I’m planning on making patchwork hearts ♥️.
I always wash fabric before using it. On my way back from the line, I saw a little parcel propped outside my front door. As I wasn’t expecting anything, it was rather puzzling. When I opened it, I found it was handmade chocolates from our local financial advisor. The boss man is one of the volunteers at the FAB cafe, is incredibly generous with his time, offering free advice every week, sponsors all sorts of things, including our live music/singing, etc. I was in tears at their kindness.
The rest of the day was quiet, dinner was Buffalo wings, then I went to church for the service. I had my feet washed in (very) cold water before coming home.
A rubbish ight, but quiet day forthcoming.
Lost of love to our missing posters, our sad and poorly friends and everyone else too.
Carpe diem ❤️🌷🦩🦩🌺🦩🦩☀️

Good morning from Malta where another day of unsettled weather is forecast with a high of 14°C.

I completely forgot I had a hair appointment for a colour yesterday but my hairdresser sent me a reminder just in time for me to make it.

The wind was very strong again so I didn’t stay out long, just a quick pop to the pharmacy and to the drive-through ATM.

Heard from DD3 and had lots of photos of the boys who are having a whale of a time. They loved the dinosaur theme park and are enjoying Italian food!

It is Good Friday today and there are usually processions held depicting Christ’s Passion but I’m wondering how the inclement weather will affect these. An annual charity walk had to be cancelled yesterday as it was too wet and windy.

I have so many jobs that need doing but I need the sun for motivation so everything is going to have to wait until next week when we are promised a return to good weather.

Wishing a good day to you all.☀️

Good morning from Staffordshire.A day of sunshine and showers forecast.

We head home later today after our week of pet sitting.It has been a relaxing week and just what we needed.Once we know DD2 and family are a couple of hours away we will head off and then meet up with them at DD1’s on Sunday.

Thinking of Pantglas and other absent friends.Thinking of all struggling and wishing everyone a good day🌻🦩
