Good morning from Sunnyside with a light breeze, northwest coast.
FaceTime with sister in the south and DS who couldn’t come over for a meal here with DD as he had a ‘gig’. Although it’s not as good as actually being with family in the flesh, FaceTime is very useful.
DD leaves for the South today, but is giving me a pedicure before she goes. She used to do my late DH’s feet and seems to enjoy it…🤔

We have a big golf tournament here, so the town is busy. I have an opera co meeting tonight, not a rehearsal, but to discuss future plans. The company has shrunk considerably over the years as musicals have taken over, sadly. I’m not volunteering as I already help to run a small music club here and I’ve had many years as secretary etc.

Happy birthday ginny, thoughts to R&L and safe and trouble free travels to Marzipan and FGT🌺

Good morning everyone from sunny 24° Lancashire.

I’m finally feeling better, the latest autoimmune embuggerance has at last responded to treatment. I’m not counting my chickens but I’m happy. MrB and I have resumed our daily walk to count the ducks in the Dock. I miss our walks so much and it’s the worst thing about being ill. I often feel like I lose a little more of myself each time my body is attacked by my own immune system. I do wish it would stick to its job of repelling invaders.

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning from West Sussex by the sea (which I haven’t been down to for ages because it’s too hot!). I dreamt about rain last night 🙂

Yesterday DH drilled the fixings for a shade sail which we bought in IKEA at least a year ago (maybe two). We may actually get it up today. It will help to keep the afternoon sun from the living room, I hope.

Today I will continue with my gentle tidying/decluttering. I hope a charity shop will want my donations. The bin has happily accepted some!

Happy Birthday, Ginny. Cool and delay-free journeys FGT and Marzipan. I hope Marydoll is getting some effective treatment.

Good afternoon Micheal and all GN's from North Yorkshire, now getting sunny and hot. This has been a topsy turvy morning, as it was lovely and grey and cool with a breeze , earlier on. So I abandoned all usual plans and went off in the car to the bigger Tesco with garage, where I was able to get my car filled up at last, and do some shopping, then home and slung stuff into kitchen and got out on the yellow peril to the local open market, for other bits and pieces and even called for a coffee at Neros, where I was greeted like a long lost cousin as it has been weeks since I visited. I had a special offer from Neros of a free slice of cake , for my birthday, so enjoyed my coffee in my own bone china mug and an apricot croissant as my treat cake. Such wild extravagances!!

So I felt that I accomplished quite a bit, but then it has taken me a while to get stuff put away and rejig things. It has been good reading all the posts and I hope you are having a good birthday Ginny. Now the sun has driven the grey and cool away and I am glad to be back in with curtains shut and cold drinks etc.

Yesterday was another very hot and close day, but with a breeze, and whilst I was feeling a bit better than on previous days, it still wasnt a day for going out or doing a great deal. I did actually go mad and cook something last night, and have extra potatoes, cooked and cold, to go with my planned salmon salad for today. I mostly read and made minimum effort at bits of housekeeping. Think checking up on how much water I am drinking is making a bit of a difference.Feel a bit more alert mentally, though still creaking around.

Hope you are all able to enjoy today and keep up with your plans.
