Good morning from Bristol. The pavements are damp and the air is fresh, so there must have been rain overnight.
I had a busy morning in church. Cleaning and serving coffee. The afternoon was quiet, with only some marmalading, and dinner made.
Today, church. Then I absolutely must do my Spanish homework as I have a busy week ahead.
I hope everyone has a quiet, peaceful and blessed Sunday.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩✝️

A quick morning all from West Oxfordshire. Taxi is coming at 7 am to take us to the airport where we will leave for Malta!

Have a good day everyone.

Safe travels to Malta Llfl.
I love Malta, I used to have family in Valletta.

Good morning from Malta where the forecast is for a sunny day with a high of 32°C.

I duly hoofed to the polling station yesterday morning to do my civic duty (not that it will make a scrap of difference) after which I was hot so treated myself to a rather delicious strawberry milkshake before walking home via the pharmacy and ATM.

I walked back up to the village in the afternoon to meet my pal and we had a good chat and a laugh while enjoying an iced coffee.

Watched tennis most of the afternoon and evening, but had a long chat with my brother in law in Edinburgh. I will be going to visit either in July or September so am excited about that.

Today Mass this morning after which I shall potter and enjoy the peace and quiet until the election results are out and people start carcading and blasting their horns.

Hope you have a good flight, Llfl and an enjoyable holiday. It’s getting hotter as the week progresses.

Wishing a good day to you all. ☀️

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and bright. Lots of blue sky above. Llfl have a lovely holiday.
Yesterday was a very quiet day. I made soup and bread but did little else.
Today I will have to do the things I didnt do yesterday! So a trip to aldi, do the housework and iron. Have a good day all.

Good morning from Sheffield
It’s a beautiful morning here.
The garden looks better now all the pots etc are back in place. I’m pleased how it looks this year, it’s taken me 43 years to get it to how I want it. When I think back to how it was when the children were small. It had little grass because of swings , football etc and I didn’t have time to tend to borders. Now I have banned balls and the borders are looking good.
We are going out on our bikes early this morning before it gets too hot. They are all ready to go. Just need some breakfast to fuel us and then we are off.
We are going to friends this afternoon for a meal and a game of Rummicub . They are very good company so looking forward to that.
Take care everyone flowers

Good morning from a warm but fresher corner of La Sarthe. Yesterday evening, as we dined outside, we had a thunderstorm that rumbled away in the distance for about an hour before coming closer bringing lightning and rain.

Thank you for the kind comments about my DS’s house. Both his sisters are in settled relationships but he struggles to find the right partner and I despair of him ever being settled. His DS, aged 10, is the one constant in his life.

Safe travels and happy landings to Ladyleftfieldlover and her DH, I visited Malta back in the 90’s and particularly liked Valletta and Mdina, My DSIL1’s family is from Malta although he grew up in London and now lives in Australia with my DD1 and DGS1.

I hope today is the start of a good week with better health for the poorly ones and happy times for the holidaymakers.

Good Morning all from a much fresher central south coast. I think the heat wave has passed over and the weather forecast is back to more comfortable levels.

I plan to give myself a pedicure (aka as cutting my toenails) this morning. It is an effort with my stiff joints but if I soak my feet in a bowl of warm water first, I can usually manage.
We are also doing laundry. Nothing else on the to do list so far.

Just read about the plague of mice in western Australia and it is truly horrifying. They need a Pied Piper urgently. We have family in Adelaide and north of Brisbane but both are a long way away from the plague thank goodness.

Hope you have a good flight and a lovely holiday in Malta, LLF. It will be back to the heat for sure!

Thoughts as always with all our strugglers and hoping for an easier day for them and for us all.
