Good Morning Everyone,
Its daylight but looking grey and cold outside here in Brackley this morning.
Yesterday I did not risk it and did not go on the coach trip, health wise .
Today a day indoors besides meals with watch Tour Of Italy on TV.
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from Malta where a sunny but hazy day is forecast with a high of 26°C.

My neighbour cancelled our coffee yesterday so I went over to look after my treasures while DD3 went to the hairdresser in peace!

It’s Mother’s Day today and I was given two lovely cards, a locket with photos of DD3 and the boys inside (❤️), and poppy earrings from DD1. Very unexpected but much appreciated.

This morning I will go to Mass after which my upstairs neighbour has asked me to go out for lunch with her. Being an introvert, I’d much rather stay at home and have a quiet day but I know she’s lonely and misses having someone to go out with.

There’s tennis to watch when I return.

I hope you all have a peaceful Sunday.🤗

Good morning Mick, morning all from South Lanarkshire where it looks cool and cloudy again.

Too bad you missed your trip Mick, I hope you feel better today.

My day yesterday was so enjoyable, Baggs had a book of Glasgow walks and we followed one of the city centre routes which gave us so much information about many of the buildings, the styles of architecture and what they were originally built for. It was very interesting. My late Dad used to always tell us to look up when we were walking around the city and we did a lot of that yesterday.

Today will also be busy as DH has a cousin visiting from the USA and a family gathering has been organised. We haven’t seen her for many years and I believe she has invited distant cousins of theirs who I don’t believe I’ve ever met. It could be a tiring day.

Wishing everyone the best day possible, especially those with struggles to bear.

Morning from Lancashire. could make a nice day once the sun has burnt of the cloud. Touch of frost on the ground and the birds singing. Dogs been walked and now just chilling with a cup of coffee. Hope you have a better day today Mick.

Good morning from a hazy Bristol. Although it’s reasonably warm out in the sun, there is this cold breeze, which spoils things. I do leave my front door propped open for ventilation.
Yesterday was odd. Flamingo Chicks were having a 24 dance-athon, so I popped in when coming back from getting my paper to give them som3 well deserved funds.
I texted DD, saying that they only had 2.5hours to go before finishing, she replied that she and Iris were already there. (Some of the yoga bums in the air that I caught sight of must have been theirs). I hurriedly hung the washing on the line, had my breakfast and went back to see them. This time it was some sort of gentle dancercise.
I came home to get ready to serve coffee, only to find the church still locked. I had forgotten my phone at home, so had to wait for my serving partner to arrive. Obviously, the vicar had the day off but she didn’t have keyholder numbers. Eventually, she found someone who was coming. Meanwhile, I was sitting by the other door, when the caretaker came. So between them, the church was opened very late and we were able to set up.
People came in rather late, even the chap who is normally very early. On the other hand, one chap always arrived about 15 minutes before we normally close, talks and talks …
The vicar popped in bringing some rhubarb from his allotment. I pounced on it! He also had some card; I had some for dinner. It was delicious.
The afternoon was quiet, bed-making, etc.
Today just church as usual.
May many blessings pour over you today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, it’s rather chilly here on the hillside in south Glos after yesterday’s lovely sunshine.
I enjoyed my zoom art although my painting was pretty bad! It was lovely to chat with the others who are all proficient artists and very friendly.
I have a pile of ironing to tackle this morning, including two big white damask tablecloths that I bought online very cheaply. I will use them on my dining room table, one has a beautiful handmade crochet border.
My DGS1 had a great time at his 10th birthday picnic, a joint one with his friend. DDIL said everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Another week of waiting for hospital appointments, it’s tedious but nothing I can do to speed things along. I will be phoning dermatology because my 4-6 week wait for an appointment is now 9 weeks.
Best wishes to you all x

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2° and sunny. GrandMattie i love rhubarb. I havent had any for a long time. Bellasnana happy mothers day to you. Up2u that picture of the dog drinking coffee made me smile.
Yesterday I met my friend and her daughter for breakfast. We had a really enjoyable time. I also bought a nice pie and a mini trifle from the deli for my dinner too. In the afternoon the garden firm owner came to measure up and find out what I want done. I think it will be costly but I don't care. I want an accessible garden.
Today I will go to aldi then potter about again. I need to do a small ironing. Have a good day all.
