Good morning from Bristol. It’s still dark, but is also overcast. We are forecast rain today; it would be good if it were more than the four or five 2 minute showers we had yesterday.
The outside painting saga still goes on; it’s due to be finished next Friday, but there still is a huge amount to do and the painters haven’t appeared since the last week of July. And, I noticed that some (unprepared) painting was already peeling after about three weeks.
Church coffee to serve today; I made a date & walnut cake from a new recipe. The small piece I had, for quality control you understand, was delicious.
r&l, hoping you are still taking things easy, madeleine and md, may your afflictions have improved, ditto for the rest of sickbay.

Good morning from Shropshire.Another rainy day forecast.

We had a lovely but tiring day with the children yesterday.We were so tired that we went to bed when they did.

Today I am going to visit mum with DD and DGD.

Enjoy your day in Bath Mick.

I hope that madeleine and Marydoll had a better day yesterday.

Wishing you all a good day🦩🌻

Good morning, it’s dry and cool here in south Glos, we had a couple of heavy but brief showers yesterday, it’s supposed to be raining all day today. We’ll see!
Yesterday I went to the surgery to get and appointment for bloods. The letter requesting specific tests was very detailed and I did want to try explaining over the phone.
I popped into a friend’s house and had a coffee and chat, she’s having radiotherapy this week so just wanted to make sure she was okay.
I got two loads of washing dried before the showers, all put away too.
Several other chores completed and I felt very pleased with myself 😁
I spent the afternoon sorting through various threads, very therapeutic for me, and doing more crewel work.
Nothing planned for today, it’s supposed to be very wet all day, let’s hope so!
Wishing you all a lovely weekend x

Good morning from a really soggy Torbay following some hours of rain which is continuing to fall.. I hope it will spread to your respective necks of the woods, grandMattie and RosesandLilac but not Bath, which could spoil Mick’s trip!

Yesterday evening I went to a social evening at the theatre where it was good to spend time with friends not seen for a while, some of whom had attended performances of Yes, Prime Minister.

An indoor day catching up with chores is planned. I hope those struggling with ailments have a better day.
