Good Morning Everyone,
Its light a clear sky just before sunrise here in Brackley this morning.
Will get a early bus into to Bicester do a quick shop and return as I want to watch the penultimate stage of Giro on TV.
Health OK ,
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from Bristol. It’s slightly muggy. If it’s anything like yesterday, it’ll be perfect.
I was very busy in the morning, having baked a fruitcake, some ginger cake, flapjacks and chocolate biscuits as well as a Bakewell tart to take to DD’s.
I have tinnitus, but the high pitched whistling I could hear wasn’t that. I thought it came from the house. Nada. In the end, we found out it was from our centenarian,’s flat. We thought it was her door answering thing, but were later told it was her fire alarm. It was dreadful and piercing! I called the repair people, but haven’t been told the result. It fortunately had stopped by the time I left to go to dd’s.
It was DD’s day off and she was in a good mood. So was iris, DGD was out with her friends. We had a very pleasant afternoon.
Today, I have to leave the house early because I’m cleaning my bit of the church, after which I’m serving coffee.
May you have a good weekend. Carpediem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a dry NE where we are promised 21 degrees today.
Been awake since 4.30 with stomach pains, going to be a long day.
Had a nice catch up with my friend and her DH gave me a glass ornament, he is a very skilled glass artist and the cousin of my late DH.
Today will be a quiet day, have a good one.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where the sky is clear but it’s set to be a little cooler today. No milk for my coffee this morning - it’s gorn orf!! I hate black coffee but it’s better than no coffee!

Yesterday I woke up with considerable pain in my hip and was hobbling and taking pain relief for most of the day. The worst it’s been. Probably the result of too much work in the garden on Thursday. It settled around tea time.

Nothing much planned for today. A trip to Aldi this morning and some cleaning.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Sheffield
Well I slept like a log last night apart from DH having cramp, he crept about like a mouse though. He did apologise for making such a fuss the night before. He did go golfing , it was indeed a miracle.
I need to put the garden straight after the paths were cleaned last week, pots need arranging.
Then an easy afternoon, my sister will call , it’s her birthday on Tuesday. She will be 75 and still working part time in a care home for severely disabled teenagers. I do admire her.
I hope the weekend is good for us all
Take care everyone flowers

Good morning from a balmy start to the day in Cornwall. By 5pm yesterday I donned overalls and emerged into my wild wood and dug out a lot more earth for the new sitting area. Very satisfying work. I noticed that my patio lavender was actually wilting, a first for that plant as it usually loves dry conditions.

Today I'll take an early bus or two to a summer fair in a beautiful leafy setting, back home before the temperature rises too much. Rain forecast next week, oh joy! My patio plants will welcome it.

Greyduster flowers Why can we go to bed feeling great and wake up feeling as though we have been run over by a bus!

Good Morning all from another bright and pleasantly mild central south coast. Someone obviously heeded my plea to turn the thermostat down!

DH is out with his cycling club for a coffee and cake ride this morning but will be back for lunch The high pollen levels are affecting him but nothing is allowed to stop his activity. "'Tis bit a scratch" is his motto! ( a la the black knight in Monty Python).

I need to catch up with the Isle of Man relations today and that always takes some time but I want to check progress with my brother and nephew especially.

We have been watching the Giro too, Mick and have loved the scenery. It looks like the winner is now a foregone conclusion, barring accidents.

Enjoy the day if you can, and hope those with troubles, worries or struggles of any kind have a better day.

Grammaretto, yes I spotted the lighthouse in the far distance, funnily enough something I'd often add to a painting, using extreme artistic licence. 😄
