Good morning from Malta where we are promised a sunny day with a high of 28°C.

I walked up to the village yesterday as I needed to go to the pharmacy. Took myself for a coffee before walking home.

This morning I have my nails at 10 then I might go and renew my ID card since I’ll be half way there. It doesn’t expire until January but I want to get it done whilst I remember.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from Herefordshire where it is very dark and raining.

I've woken up with stiff and achey shoulders today, doubtless caused by going to the gym yesterday and not stretching. I usually stretch but had an assessment with a PT who didn't give me time or opportunity to stretch.

Today's plan is to sort seeds collected from the garden into envelopes for next year. I've got thousands of marigolds and cosmos seeds plus various others which I will experiment with next year.

Not impressed with Andy Burnham's proclamation on the Triple Lock although I shouldn't be surprised. Vowed never to vote Labour again after the Winter Fuel Allowance debacle.

Thanks. I hadn’t thought of that…

Good morning everyone.
gM I would cut up the zestless lemons into chunks, open freeze then bag . I use them when lemon juice is required. Especially useful for honey and lemon drinks if I have a cold/cough. smile

Good morning from Bristol. It has rained in the night and is due “pour” in about an hour. Not holding my breath.
Yesterday went ok. Spanish class was hard, with reading of a short story by Isabel Allende. Much of the vocabulary was south American rather than Castilian. My head ached from the effort by the end!
One person has started to talk to me, and even offered me a lift most of the (uphill) way home, which was really kind.
The afternoon was spent labelling and storing the chutneys, allowing them to mature before sale, then baking. I followed a recipe for lemon crinkle cookies, which turned out to be gigantic! I shall halve the size (and double the number of cookies) next time. The only problem is that in now have three zestless lemons 🍋 and don’t really need any atm.
Today, morning prayers, FAB cafe, then a meeting with Mr. Teflon. Lots to discuss, including the (non) delivery of fence panels, for which we were apparently responsible! No manager working that day…
May all your troubles and sorrow be minor, and that some sunshine enters your lives.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning Everyone,
A dark but dry start to the day here in Brackley .
The usual routine with a bus trip into Bicester to shop and maybe have chat with people I know.
Come back have Lunch and relax this afternoon .
Health OK ,
As to the buses very few users so operators can withdraw services if poor use.
Take Care,
Mick
