Good Morning all, and a very happy Birthday Mick 
Rainy and dull here this morning in The Black Country. It is supposed to be warming up from tomorrow and a warm Bank Holiday weekend...apparently!
Having a meal out later with Mum and my Niece.
Have a lovely day everyone.
A good Morning to you all with a special one plus a Happy birthday for you Mick,with a glass or two of the best 
After a miserable damp afternoon this morning is again dry but breezy,just the ticket as I have a rather long journey to a Hospital up the road for treatment.
Far from mundane however,because with a bit of luck on my side and not too much "hanging around" as is norm in these places we shall pay a visit to two decent Garden Centres in the vicinity,hopefully having better luck this time.
Our home is far too bare from greenery for my liking!
Have yourselves a pleasant day folks.
Happy Birthday Mick and Good Morning everyone!
It's not raining yet here on the south coast but there is a brisk wind and a lot of rain clouds so I think we are in for a soaking.
Yesterday was glorious weather and we had a lovely trip out through the burgeoning countryside. To add to the pleasure, I found a new office chair which is the best one I have had for some time. The ones you buy on-line and then have to assemble never seem to fit my contours! This one does and it was already assembled.
Looking forward to the promised 
after today also nina Hope the day is a good one for all GNs.
Happy Birthday Mick and good morning early risers!
(I wonder if we were on the same X5 in either direction yesterday, I suspect you were earlier than me (the 10.00 from MK and then the 16.00 back again.)
Really nice lunch n matter at the Ashmolean, did I improve the shining hour by a cultural look around? Nope 
Wishing you all a pleasant day - looking a bit grey in N Bucks and I believe rain is on the way . Quelle surprise!
Morning all and a special Good Morning and ?happy birthday to you? Mick
Grey and breezy with rain forecast in Kent. I hope the weekend is as good as they say. No plans but I just want
Happy Birthday Mick! 
. Enjoy your Chinese.
Morning All
All grey here in the north of Norfolk but the rain hasn’t reached us yet. Sometimes it gets as far as Norwich and by-passes us so hopefully it will today. Mr and Mrs Nextdoor are having the fence man in today to re-erect our adjoining fence. It’s been really weird being so open over the last couple of weeks and, although we get on quite well, we all appreciate the privacy.
