Good morning from Sheffield
grandMattie 
I had a productive day yesterday. A lovely little settee was purchased from IKEA . It’s surprisingly comfy for very little money. Just have to construct it now although Ikea products are so easy to put together these days. Unlike their early days when it never quite fitted together
DH has seen a bit of guttering has come adrift so that needs sorting.
I don’t think we will have time for a bike ride
Putting my boho Cardigan together is not quite as difficult as I thought it would be, it’s tricky and I have to concentrate but I’m pleased with how it’s turning out
Take care everyone
Good morning from South Lanarkshire. It’s a brighter start to the day than yesterday.
GrandMattie in memory of your boy.
Beautiful photos Ash.
The film last night was pretty to watch, beautiful fashions and locations but not as funny as the original Devil Wears Prada. DD had brought a fleecy throw to put over her as she said she’s always cold in the cinema. 
For months DH has been trying to buy a rose bush which bears the name of our nephew who died nine months ago. It came back into stock on Friday and was delivered to us yesterday. DH had a pot ready and today we will take it to my brother and sister in law.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Good morning all from Morecambe Bay where it is cloudy and dry. It is forecast to stay like that for much of the day. I intend to do some work in a clients garden and also spend an hour or so on the Church garden. I’m pretty much on top of my own garden after it was neglected last year when I lost my gardening mojo when old rotting sleepers had to be replaced.
I have hopefully attached a photo of one of my favourite plants Paeonia mlokosewitschii, better known as Molly the witch. I’ve had it through five house moves but it seems particularly happy here. Thinking of all with ill health and problems. Take care.

Good morning from a grey W Kent. DD1 and DDIL have their birthdays today, both are happily away with their families. Quiet morning and then a U3A group outing this afternoon to view some blue plaques in a local village

Best wishes to all
Good morning from a brightening, blue-skyed Cornwall where I'm planning my bank holiday; methinks I'll take the train to St Ives. It'll be busy there but I'll avoid the crowds by climbing the hill behind the main seafront which leads to the Tate. There's an exhibition I'd like to see.
Yesterday was crazy, with a walk at low tide along a creek to reach my pal's chosen place for lunch. We sat in the rain under an awning and laughed and shared a meat and cheese platter. The evening get-together with my family at Wetherspoons was noisy and fun. I'll be painting with my daughter-in-law for the rest of the week so will let myself have a solo jaunt today.
My echium has reached the door and has never looked so Triffid-like but I can squeeze past to reach my patio. It's very prickly so can't be touched other than to shrug it out of the way. The flowers are an irresistible lure for bees.
Thinking of you today grandMattie. 🥀
Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. 7° and cloudy but hopefully it will improve as the estate agent photographer is coming at 10 including a drone. I don't want to have a video walk through and some rooms are to be out of bounds.
My friend came yesterday to help me to make things look slightly less awful. We had a few laughs and a glass of wine as we resorted to hiding things in the greenhouse or the car.
When we bought the house 46 years ago there wasn't even one photo! We didn't in those days.
It's my DS3 birthday today. He was born at home in that long hot Summer of 1976.
Both his DC are at uni. Where did the years go!
Lovely photos Ash I'm glad you are enjoying your cruise.
Sad day for you gMattie
I hope you feel better soon.
Thinking of our stoic R&L , Marydoll and others and our missing posters.
Hope everyone has some joy today.
Good morning all from a cool, cloudy central south coast. Think we may see an odd shower today and similarly through this week.
DH has plans to remove the dead daffodil foliage from the front garden today. He leaves it until it is brown and unsightly before taking it off, to allow the bulbs to build up energy for next spring's lovely display. Seems to work well.
In tune with his trimming, I must trim his hair too. It has kept being put back as other things crop up but is now top of my to do list.
Yesterday's slow cooker gammon was as delicious as always and there is more for today with sautéed left-over new potatoes plus an egg.
Enjoyed a chatty phone call with DS in the evening. He is planning a trip to the Isle of Man on his motor bike next week and has arranged to see all the relations over there.
The parcel of medals and WW1 memorabilia from a relative, which I have donated to his regimental museum has arrived safely. The curator has been so kind and given me lots of information that I didn't know. It has been a really satisfactory thing to do and I feel very pleased that the items will be treated with the respect they deserve.
Thinking of all our GNs with troubles of any kind and hoping for some ease and comfort for us all.
