Happy birthday Mick and thank you for this lovely Good Morning thread. Hope you have a good day.🥳

I had a nice day out with DD3 and the boys yesterday. We went to the Playmobil Funpark and it was a joy to see my treasures happy and enjoying themselves.

Watched tennis in the afternoon and didn’t do much else. I’m basically a sloth 🦥

Meeting a friend for coffee at 9.30. Haven’t checked the weather but expect it will be sunny.

Glad you enjoyed your week in Malta EkwaNimitee. It has changed so much over the 45 years I’ve called it home but I still love it.

Wishing you all a good weekend.☀️

Happy birthday, Mick. 1948 was a good year, wasn’t it. 😊
Good morning from Bristol. The sky is becoming lighter, with sunrise due in about 20 minutes.
I was tired all day yesterday, but plugging on, as one does, due to previous commitments.
The day started with the delivery of an enormous “shed”, about a third of the size of a shipping container! I suspect it’s an office for the painters - when it actually starts…
Spanish next, where I was lacklustre and not really engaging with anything. As there are only 4 of us, each needs to put in quite a bit.
I was due to go to the church hall at 2pm, but the chap doing the work with me needed to leave earlier than expected, so I had lunch and rushed to the church hall, forgetting the essential staple gun. He had his car, so it was quickly collected. We finished in good time, the room looks lovely and fresh now.
I was exhausted and just sat for the rest of the day, interrupted by my upstairs neighbour. She’s been having trouble with her car, repairing will cost more than it’s worth. Her worry? What will the (“million”) people she drives do if she doesn’t have one?
Today, church cleaning, which I planned on doing yesterday afternoon, church coffee, then nothing - just pottering.
Hav3 @ good day everyone; hugs to those who need one.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Lovely photos, bellas. Aren’t the boys grown up?

Happy Birthday Mick Hope you have a great day

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° and dry- at the moment. There is a heavy cloud cover. Mick a very happy birthday to you. I hope you have a nice day. Bellasnana lovely photos of the boys. GrandMattie looks like the work will actually happen!
Yesterday was a very lazy day. I did change the sheets etc, wash and dry them etc, but that was the extent of my labours. I rested a lot and elevated my feet. I find my fairly new sofas uncomfortable if I sit on them for any length of time which is disappointing.
Today I'm picking up my friend for Saturday breakfast- her lift isnt available-and we will go to our usual haunt, the garden centre. Then I will take her home. Afterwards I have a tesco delivery due. I might see ds at some point this weekend as his washing machine has broken down. I am looking forward to a ham and chicken salad tonight for dinner. Have a good day all.

Happy 78th Mick, enjoy your beer later. Good morning all from a cloudy Morecambe Bay where it is at least dry and may be for much of the day. Yesterday I took DS out to Grasmere in the Lakes. We left home early to avoid the heavy traffic and found the village very quiet and peaceful. We stood for ages on the bridge looking down into the river Rothay watching a variety of birds and fish. Suddenly the shadow of an aircraft appeared on the water as RAF trainer plane flew overhead.
Grasmere gingerbread was purchased along with a couple of summer fleeces. One for DS and one for DH. We had an early lunch in our favourite cafe and I then took DS back to the station to get his train home. Hopefully the day has lifted his spirits a little.
I will try and upload a couple of photos.
Today is my empty as DH takes Crazy dog on a long walk leaving me to get on with what I choose. I’m hoping to finish weeding the gravel path round the garden.
Thinking of all with health and family worries. Take care.

Good morning from Sheffield
Happy birthday Mick, enjoy your day

I have woken with an awful sinus headache. I’ve taken some painkillers, sometimes they don’t work. It’s a thing I get from time to time

DH is patching up some rendering on the end of the house today. I shall be his goto.
I can’t see much else happening after that.

I have done all the crochet squares for my boho cardigan .
I know have to lay them all out and work out the best colourway before joining them together so I’ll have a go at that later

Take care everyone

Good morning and it’s bright and sunny here in Essex .

A beautiful day yesterday which enhanced our celebrations for 2 little grandnieces christening . They were over from Holland and staying with my brother who lives in an idyllic village with a picture postcard church where the ceremony was held.

A lovely reception followed in the village pavilion . We could have stepped into an old film when England was at its best.

Today we travel to our seaside cottage just for the day, sadly, but we must pick up paperwork for the sale and draw plans of the plot. Surely the search team should be doing that! 🤔.

We’re going early and hope the A12 behaves.🤞.

Enjoy the weekend . Rain coming in tomorrow.☀️☔️

Good morning from our cabin on MS Oscar Wilde, sailing along the Rhine between Cologne and Koblenz in bright sunshine.

Yesterday was tiring because we had to travel on two trains twixt London and Cologne due to the change at Brussels with much walking between platforms. I couldn’t have managed without olddudders. He was wonderful at coping with two cases, his rucksack and me!

Happy birthday, Mick!

Happy weekend, everyone! 😀

Morning Mick, morning All. A dry start to our corner of Somerset, rain due later.

Yesterday’s forecast rain missed us, the garden is disappointed. Hope to see our elder son today, traffic and energy permitting.

Lovely photos gelisajams. Thank you.

A very happy birthday mick. 🎂. 1948 was indeed a very good year.

Wishing you all the best day it can be.

Happy Birthday, Mick 🎂🍺
