Good morning from Bristol.
I’m sorry your day out was spoiled by the rain, Mick. The showers are set to miss us, unlike yesterday. It only rained when I was out, then bucketed as I was walking home and got soaked. Dry otherwise.
The date and walnut cake went down well, the were about 16 attendees, which makes it worthwhile holding these coffee mornings throughout the year.
Only church today, so I’ll probably do some more patchworking. I’ve only got about 6 of the 48 blocks to make, necessary for my quilt. I’ve no idea what I’ll do with it once made. I just like to hav3 a project.
May you all have a pleasant bank holiday weekend, and a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🐦‍🔥🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where it is dark, hot and humid. We expect very hot weather for the next few days at least.

The boys were very lively and busy yesterday. We walked up to the corner shop, the lady there is always thrilled to see them and makes a fuss of them.

DD3 picked them up at about 1pm. She had forgotten to pack DGS2’s inhaler and he was starting to cough.

It felt so quiet after they had gone but I was quite glad to sit and relax. They wear me out, bless them!😅

I hope you all have a good day, especially our poorly friends and those facing life’s vicissitudes.☀️

Good morning from a still dark Torbay where we had enough rain yesterday to help the park opposite me to look green again. It’s a shame that the rain spoilt your day out in Bath, Mick, because that must have led to you spending more money to stay out of it.

My DS decided at the last minute to come down for the weekend so he is staying with his Dad but will come and see me after church this morning bringing my DGS3. I am the accompanist at church for the last time for a while.

Wishing everyone a blessed Sunday. 🦩💐✝️💐🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is dry and still dark at the moment. Yesterday was wet pretty much all day so I didn’t get much done outside. The grass is greening up very fast.

I have an early start today. I’m going out for the day with DD and the menfolk to Fountains Abbey, a place I love, but DD has never been so I hope the rain will stay off so that she can enjoy it because, as abbey ruins go, it’s very impressive and so is the parkland it sits in.

I’m sorry the rain spoiled your day, Mick

Have the best day you can, folks.

Gnash Gnash I had nearly finished my saga and the flipping thing has disappeared yet again!! Why does it seem to be doing this only with Gransnet. I am now in need of a coffee before I try again so will be back. I started this post when you couldnt even see the outline of the tree against the sky, and now it is very clear. Grr!! I will be back!

Good morning from Shropshire.Dry at the moment but rain and thunder forecast for later.

A very tiring day yesterday.DD wanted to call at Cheshire Oaks on the way to see mum then we went to Costco.We got to the care home mid afternoon and as soon as I looked through the window into the lounge I could see a massive deterioration in mum.I had a long chat with the nurse who agreed mum has declined.There were moments of brightness and she wanted to hold my hand.We all felt upset when we left especially DGD who is ten.She loves visiting great grandma but I don’t think she should go again😢

Today will be a quiet day catching up with household jobs and admin with I am sure reading and a snooze this afternoon.

Thinking of all our mountaineers and wishing everyone a good day🦩🌻
