I too miss Bellasnana on this thread! Her posts are a pleasure to read! I enjoy reading about all the doings on GM. You are the most energetic and accomplished group.

Good morning from s somerset, cloudy today and a nice temperature

Sewing session was very enjoyable yesterday, I will continue that today and also go for a walk, up a hill because the exercise routine has been neglected.

My car is disgustingly dusty and taken over by spiders, I think I will drive to a car wash first

Good morning from Cornwall. A lovely breeze is wafting across my bed from my patio window. My daughter is just trying to ring me from Liverpool where her husband is in hospital so I must answer that. Meanwhile here are two photos from my life-affirming trip to St Ives yesterday. Portmeor Beach from inside the Tate Gallery. And their lift which has become an artwork. 😆

Good morning from a wet and overcast Belfast.
Not sure what I am doing today. My floors need steaming supposed to clean them yesterday but I took a lazy fit and read my book instead.
Anyhow have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a cool rather grey N Surrey.

I pottered in the garden with my cup of coffee when it was just getting light. Filled the bird baths. I have 3. One a proper one. One an upturned old fashioned metal dustbin lid wedged into some gravel to keep it steady and one a deep wide circular plant pot tray. Its ceramic so quite heavy and steady. That one is on the steps outside the kitchen patio doors and my fearless robins bath in it. And drink from it.

I hope Bellasnana comes back soon. Her posts are a delight. This particular thread is so interesting. I like reading about day to day life in different counties and countries.
Enjoy today whatever you do. Chin up those feeling down.

Good morning from a cool Bristol.
My washing is nearly done, ready for the line. Rain is threatened in the late morning, but, although I’m not holding my breath, I don’t want to risk it not drying.
I was very annoyed yesterday, having psyched myself up for the journey to hospital for the dermatologist, only to receive a call at 2pm to cancel my 4pm appointment because “they hadn’t been told the doctor wasn’t on duty “!
Instead I finished a skirt using one of the African prints; DS was delighted with my trousers.
Today, apart from the washing, I’ve got to bake for tomorrow’s FAB cafe. We have the last sponsored live concert for the moment and the attendance can be between 60 and 120. It is a ukulele band, which is terrific fun, apparently. I loathe ukes…
I shall just sit in the afternoon as all that energetic preparation, serving and tidying up takes the stuffing out of me.
I have contacted bellasnan; she is keeping a low profile atm, after an undeserved drubbing on another post. Some people can be so unkind.
I hope md DT al are ok today, that fgt is now safely arrived in her happy place, and that everyone else is in an ok place. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Michael and all GNs from a cool grey South Yorkshire. I’ve been awake for ages. Seem to be lapsing back into a silly sleep pattern again.

Yesterday’s session with the chiropractor went very well. I feel we’re making a lot of progress, and she’s a lovely person. Never short of something to say and very funny. I came home and weeded all the gravel and the paving in and around the patio, so it looks very tidy now - for a while! But everything is so dry. I do hope we have some rain soon.

This morning I must do some ironing, then school this afternoon. I should be able to walk there and back now it’s cooler.

Have the best day you can, folks.
