Good Morning Everyone,
Its not quite twilight here in Brackley but its dry outside and it could be a very warm day.
Todays routine get an early bus to Bicester , have a coffee and a bite to eat , do a shop and chat to people I know.
Watch the penultimate stage of women's Tour De France heading to Nice, the British Girls are not doing so well.
Health OK,
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from a dry Bristol. Not yet dawn. The birds are quiet, the moon is in its last phase.
The Bristol balloon festival kicked off last night, but sadly we ant see them from here as they tend to go south, or along the Avon valley. So colourful when they are visible!
Apart from the hygienist and my usual regular trim, nothing much happened at chateau Mattie.
I’m moving around less due to my swollen ankle. The light bruising halfway down my foreleg to my toes is starting to fade, but it’s still painful especially first thing, when I hobble about. Pain seems to ease with gentle movement; it’s a fine balance between keeping moving and resting.
Church coffee then nothing today. I’m getting on with quilt assembly and might sit out with it later.
The family is due back today after their fortnight of interrailing round Europe.
Hugs to r&l and home she’s safely home. A wave to the patients in sickbay, especially the MDs.
