You’re not thick Nfk I only knew who met KittyLester yesterday as it was ME. ?

We had a lovely time together and chatted non stop over a lovely coffee and Choccy biscuit, I was only sorry that my time was limited. We will do it again next time I am staying with my relatives who live nearby.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Shopping and housework today. Hoping the weather stays good so I can sit outside with a book while the football is on....tennis is back soon and then I'll be happy.

Gma29 Fri 15-Jun-18 08:15:09

Lovely day in S Leicestershire too, just a bit of housework, and a bit of shopping today. I can feel a good read coming on later

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and it is a lot calmer today. It as so windy yesterday I took the hanging baskets down! I have just had a video of the most violent thunderstorm and torrential rain from DS who is holidaying in Croatia. Swimming for us this morning and then we have a football club picnic in the park before GS comes back to spend the night with us. Have a good day, folks.

Morning everyone.
Fairly bright start in Kent and the wind has dropped.
Spent a few hours yesterday trying to sort out our land line, we currently have no internet so I'm using mobile data something I never do. Won't be posting till it's sorted. They said up to 72 hrs sad

Have a good day everyone

Nothing “cloak and dagger Panache - annodomini and I just went to the theatre together.

Panache Fri 15-Jun-18 07:45:30

Good Morning to everybody...........and yes the sun is still shining in our corner of Wales after a mere blip on wednesday evening.

I am amazed at all the activities you G N`s get up to and I do wonder how you find the time!!
All these "Cloak and dagger" meets amongst you all has me intrigued!!

I actually weilded the secateurs yesterday and hope to even do better today!

Whilst wishing you all a kind and productive day.........or one of sheer relaxation........take your pick!!

Mapleleaf Fri 15-Jun-18 07:43:04

Good morning * Mick* and everyone.
A lot calmer this morning. Need to get into the garden later to rescue some blown over pots. Can’t get through the back door at the moment though due to all the furniture from the dining room. Carpet fitters due in an hour, then will be able to get the rooms straight again - thank goodness! I’ll be moving furniture gingerly though, as I’ve tweaked my back.sad.
Glad to hear that the meet ups went well, and hope it won’t be long before you meet up again.
Let us know when the kittens arrive, kitty.
Hope today is kind to you all, and all of you recovering from ops, take it steady. ?

MawBroon Fri 15-Jun-18 07:37:08

Good morning Mick and everybody!
Another gorgeous looking day in N Bucks. An Ocado delivery due this morning, bit of tidying and then tea/coffee at a local nursery with Book Group friends.
I had a lovely day in Manchester with another Gransnetter yesterday . We had never actually met before but she commented that it was as if we had known each other all our lives!
Wishing you all a pleasant day. ??

Morning All. Sunny day here in kent, have a good weekend everyone.

Good Morning Mick and everyone!

It's a lovely sunny start to Friday here on the south coast but we could do with some rain on the garden now - it's a bit dry.

Last GCSE (physics) for DGD today so our taxi duties will ease and we can relax a bit. She has coped very well with the extensive number of exams. We had one three-hour GCE exam in each subject but she has had several one-hour 15 minutes in each subject. Quite a demanding timetable. We have been happy to help out given the lack of public transport in their village and with both parents at work.

Have a good day folks! sunshine

Good morning, cloudy this morning but at least the wind has died down.
Progress is being made I managed to make it to the bathroom twice without waking DH.

Marydoll Fri 15-Jun-18 06:53:27

Good morning Mick and all. I have been awake since 4am and waiting for Mick to get up?.
Of course, I then dozed off again.
It's still really breezy here in Glasgow. A catching up day.
Have a good day all.

Billybob4491 Fri 15-Jun-18 06:50:28

Busy day today preparing for my granddaughters birthday party tomorrow, hope the weather holds
