Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, and its raining here in Brackley this morning, due a few household things etc today.
Nothing else planned either apart from visiting the cemetery to place some silk flowers on parentsand grand parents grave's.

Continued horizontal rain in 'sunny' Aberdeenshire with additional howling gale. Still making quilted balls for Xmas.

Good morning, or I should say good afternoon I am sitting on the balcony having a spot of lunch and a beer in Lanzarote 23c currently last day today unfortunately smile

Mild and sunny morning here, so went walking with the dog on the mountain paths, I could see clearly Anglesey and two ships at anchor in the south Irish Sea on the horizon waiting for a berth in Liverpool I guess. So mild lately that there are many bedding plants still in bloom and the geraniums are still beautiful but the winter flowering clematis "Freckles" is in full bloom rather early.

The sun is about to rise so everything is looking beautiful. Somebody remarked that a few posters were from overseas on this thread. To be honest I hadn’t noticed it until a few days ago. Still, it’s nice to say Good Morning even though the majority of you are well into your day.

Hi Mick, sorry to be late for the morning, however picked up on the point you are visiting you parents and grandparents graves. I hope it went well. In France at the moment the graveyards are full of colour because it is a tradition that on the 1st November families visit them to leave potted chrysanthemums.

Just back from meeting friend for lunch and dog walk 40 miles away. Drove through rain so bad my wipers couldn't cope, followed by sunshine 2 minutes later.

Good afternoon, only just found time to get onto GN and its Grey, wet and horrible here in Somerset. Went early this morning for my flue jab, did some food shopping, husband came and met me and we had coffee and a teacake in Waitrose after shopping in Lidl next door. Home to the stress of sorting out my daughter for whom I have POA and trying to get her to understand she could not have £130 for a taxi to the hospital and would have to use the hospital transport that had been booked. Hasn't gone down well but its difficult with people with learning difficulties getting them to understand money. Still she will just have together over it. Now it's time to think about eating this evening which could be fresh air sandwiches the way I am feeling.

What a lovely thing to do, mokryna. I bet the cemeteries look lovely. ?

Always late to the party. Its been a warm sunny day in Porto tiday and very different from yesterdays wet and windy weather. Some dear friends came up to Porto with us yesterday as they had never been before and we have had a lovely day viewing Porto from the tourist bus. Tomorrow DH and I are flying to England for 5 days and it looks as though we will met by sone rain tomorrow when we arrive.
