Good Morning Sunday 26th April 2926

Happy Birthday, LLFL - enjoy your day. 🥂🎂

A very Happy Birthday llfl enjoy your special day! 🥂🎁🎂💐

Happy birthday llfl, have a wonderful day! 73 is positively young; I was 81 last week!

Good morning from a bright sunny Suffolk. I had no problem logging on just now but couldn’t yesterday.

DS bought a vintage camper van last year,much admired by the mechanic who did some work on it a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday was a trial run with an overnight run to the lovely site between Dunwich and Minsmere.

We visited them yesterday afternoon and enjoyed sitting outside on the very spacious site with many huge trees for shade. There are steps from the site to the beach and a newly built restaurant and outside bar on a raised level.

The original one burnt down last year and their replacement one is splendid. DH used to bring the children camping hereabout 35 years ago when it was a very simple site with a couple of cold water showers only.

A quiet day at home now with some gentle gardening and cleaning the summerhouse which seems to have acquired a morgue of dead insects over the winter.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Good morning everyone from a cloudy Northampton, but hopefully sunshine later, especially as DD's band is playing on the bandstand in our town park this afternoon.

Yesterday was beautiful, lovely warm sunshine all day and right until the.evening.
I popped down to the shops in the morning as I needed food for an early dinner yesterday, and a later dinner tonight.

An early evening rugby match yesterday which went right to the wire, but thankfully a win by 3 points for my team, which sees them still at the top of the Premiership. It was glorious sitting in the sun watching them and I even took my rugby top off, thankful that I had put a t-shirt on underneath!

I shall prepare a picnic later this morning to take to the park, to have while I sit and listen to DD's band - they are playing from 2 till 5pm, and it will be a wide range of music, ideal for sitting in the sun. I have just got some of my home-made sausage rolls out of the freezer to thaw out, so DD will be pleased!

Your outing to the Bowood rhododendron gardens sounds lovely, glammagran; I remember many a visit to see them when I was a child.

Wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

Happy Birthday llfl 🥳🎂🥂.
Enjoy your family visit to China WhiteSwan

A very happy birthday to you llfl

Happy holiday WhiteSwan ✈️

Susan hope you can have a restful day 💐

Happy birthday Ladyleftfieldlover have a lovely day

Good morning from a brightening Black Country, where it was such a hot day yesterday!

Off to the caravan in Somerset this morning, see how it has fared over Winter storage. Back home Wednesday.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning from an overcast but dry Torbay. Yesterday was lovely but I wasn’t home when Gransnet finally woke up!

Yesterday afternoon DH and I were on Front of House duty at our theatre for the matinée performance of Speaking of Murder, with him as Manager and me as a steward. His duties are onerous, involving unlocking the five entrances - all old doors with stiff locks and bolts since it was originally a church. He is also responsible for the safety of the audience and dealing with any problems. I had the easy tasks of selling programmes, checking tickets and guiding people to our various facilities (bar, coffee shop, loos!) besides helping to sell ice creams in the interval.

A blessed Sunday to you all! 🦩🥰✝️💐🦩

Morning all from a sunny West Oxfordshire.

It is my birthday today and I am 73! My parents only made it to 48 and 67 so I feel positively ancient. I’ve had some lovely presents already including fizz, chocolates and a Greek head vase. OH has bought me a beautiful watch which I’ll open when I get up. We’re going out for lunch to the same restaurant where I had my 70th.

Have a good day everyone. Things often feel better with blue sky and sun.

Good morning from a cloudless Bristol.
I was unable to get in this morning again, until now. No idea why. I haven’t read any posts yet. After brekkie…
I’m feeling a bit meh, I had my covid jab yesterday; my arm hurts and it has provoked an attack of gout, which rather displeases me!
Yesterday was incredibly busy; the clothes swap went ok. It’s a good place to observe people’s behaviour, isn’t it?
I’m going to be kind to myself today.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where the sky is a flat expanse of grey. Yesterday I was working outside most of the day and it was too hot for me. I divided two of my hostas but couldn’t get the others out of the pots - it’s going to be a two man job. It was also a heavier job than I had anticipated. I had a rest and then cut the front lawn. Last time GS cut the lawn for me he said he thought the lawnmower was making a strange whining noise (I told him it was probably me!). I couldn’t hear it, but I certainly could yesterday. It’s old, and I think it’s time for a new one so I’ll replace it with a cordless.

DS rang for a chat mid afternoon - they are going away to Scotland today for ten days in their motorhome exploring the West coast. I told him I expected to be bombarded with photos (I usually am anyway!).

The first goldfinches paid my garden their annual visit yesterday evening, munching seed heads from some weed or other (there are plenty to go at!). It was such a joy to see them.

Today I am going to have a quiet day. Some baking maybe, but very little else. I may go for a walk.

Hope your health I proves Mick. Take it easy.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Cambridgeshire where it is cloudy but should reach around 18 degrees later.

I had a lovely day yesterday shopping and lunch out at Rushton Lakes with DD2. Several purchases were made for our forthcoming holiday.

Today will be a quiet one pottering at home, the bed needs changing and a trip to the farm shop for a chicken to roast later. We haven’t got the BBQ out yet this year but maybe for the BH next weekend it will emerge!

Wishing everyone a happy Sunday with something to smile about 🌷

Morning all, high cloud in S Hants, the ground is very dry here too Redcar with no rain in the immediate forecast.
Yesterday dinner was prepped early and a curry for today, both our football teams are in the FA cup this weekend, mine lost yesterday.
Have a pleasant day.

Good morning from slightly cloudy South Lanarkshire.

Our birthday GD was so excited yesterday, it’s lovely to watch the little ones enjoying themselves.

Today we have Sunday cafe after Mass so I’ll be helping with that.

I’ve a couple of things to collect from M&S and perhaps also have a look in TKMaxx while I’m there.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from a misty North Leicestershire.

This morning we are going to watch DGS4's football team win the league (hopefully) and then home for a roast.

Yesterday I made some gf bread which was really lovely - result. We also rearranged the garden furniture and decided to jettison some and replace it.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Enjoy your holiday WhiteSwan63! ✈️

Good morning from Malta where it is to be a sunny day with a high of 25°C.

I also had trouble logging on today.

Yesterday I had the boys early on as both were asking to come to Nana’s. Bless them, if they only knew how much joy they bring.

We had a lot of laughs before DD3 picked them up and whisked them off to their next activity!

I cleared the chaos and got two loads of laundry dried outside, dusted and did the floors. I do love a clean home with things in order.

Watched tennis a bit and will probably watch some more today.

Mass this morning and a walk to the village to stretch my legs and visit the ATM.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from dry and sunny s somerset

A chilled and lovely day yesterday, I did order a couple of items to help with life going forward, one will enable me to stand while trimming all my ground cover in september. The other will bring me shade on my patio, withstand the wind and will tilt to shade my kitchen or living room or me on my outdoor recliner. My savings are for making life easier after all

Today, I will be cycling to the allotment, I want to water my young asparagus plants and I simply want to enjoy my lovely plot and the sounds of nature

There will be much sitting outside today, eating outside and reading

Good morning from a dull East coast there was an early sea mist but it’s gone so hopefully the sun will come out.

Yesterday was a lovely day. We sat outside with the DC and DGC. The GDs got out the water pistols and soaked each other. GS got out the large bubble ring and was mesmerised by the huge bubble. DH had cut the grass earlier and I cut old dead twigs off the Acers and hydrangeas.
We are ready to close the house this morning, we are all packed and leaving for Gatwick. We have a hotel for the night in Crawley I think.

My best friends funeral is the day we get home from China. With the best will in the world we will never make it back as it’s at lunchtime. We will stop at services and watch the live stream from our car. We will probably need a sleep stop on the drive home too.

Wishing virtual friends a lovely Sunday with sunshine and moments of joy🌼

Good morning from Shropshire.A cooler start today and won’t be as sunny as the last few days.

Yesterday’s visit to mum went well.As she was managing to sit up my daughters decided we should take her out for some fresh air.The nurses got her ready and into a wheelchair and we walked into the village.Tnere was a street market but every time we stopped to look at something mum said keep going Susan don’t stop.We went back to the home and sat in the garden.My younger daughter had bought a non alcoholic beer at the market and gave mum a couple of sips🙈She really enjoyed it!I don’t remember her drinking beer before🙈She enjoyed the sun on her face but was exhausted afterwards.

In the evening DH and I went to Bronwen Lewis’s concert.It was a brilliant show.She is so funny and has an amazing voice singing in both Welsh and English.

Today will be a quiet one.I was woken at 3 with low blood sugar and had to satay awake for an hour until my it went back to normal so a long day yesterday and a disturbed night mean I am not feeling my best!

Thinking of all with worries and wishing everyone the best day possible🦩🌷

Good morning from a chilly but bright Essex coast.
This afternoon we have a big 'do' at the club. We have been preparing for it for the last couple of weeks.
Lots of sorting, tidying and clearing.
We have mountains of food so are hoping lots of people turn up.
Enjoy Sunday everyone and let's hope the sun shines for us all xx

Good morning everyone from Inverness, it’s a bit cloudy this morning but the forecast is lovely
I didn’t post yesterday as I couldn’t get on here, I guess a lot of our regular posters are having similar problems this morning
This morning I’ve my usual video call with DS then I’m hoping to get some gardening done. Later DD2 and family are calling round so I’m looking forward to seeing them and catching up on all their news.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐
