Good Morning Everyone,
Its a nice sunny start here in Brackley this morning, back to my usual routine of going to Buckingham and Bicester on the buses.
Also some housework, and acase of putting an X in a box as well.

Good morning everyone from sunnyish Loch Lomond. I thought it would be a good idea to pop in as I usually don't have anyone to speak to all day. I just have my dog and her friend our cat, they get on well together. I have voted already by postal vote. Hope to get out into the garden to potter about if it stays dry and the breeze keeps the midges away. Hope you all have a lovely day thistle

We’re trying to get the most out of our NT membership, Lins! Welcome rascal - pop over to Soop’s kitchen; you’ll get a warm welcome there too.

Morning Michael, Annie and all. Just having my breakfast and a second cup of tea. It is a beautiful sunny day here again in Berks. Yesterday I bought a planter for the front garden, filled and planted it, and it’s looking good.
We shall go out to vote, but still not sure where to put my cross! The voting takes place in a church hall, and there is usually coffee to be had, ?.
A friend is coming this afternoon, so tea and cake in the garden,
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning from a bright but overcast Colchester. I had the hose out on the garden last night so it's sods law that it'll rain today.
Buying DH a new phone. He had chosen a Huawei but is now reconsidering.
We voted by post and made our decision using a link we found on one of the GN politics threads. We put our usual party loyalties aside as this is really a choice between leave and remain.

Hi everyone.
Blue skies with a few smeary white brushstrokes of cloud here in Godalming. It was very hot last night and I drank gallons of water. Nothing on today, had run at 6ish along the tow-path for 90 mins, shower then a glass of hot water with honey+lemon.
Plants watered, washing done. I'm off sugar and coffee is undrinkable without it. ?
I hope all GNers have a good day and those who aren't feeling 100% get as much rest as possible.
Oh yeah...voting...??

A very good morning everyone from gloriously sunny Malaga
Urmstongran: What's wrong with sunny M/c? I was told to stop posting sunny weather reports from Melb; made everyone sad! grin
Now! There's a Malaga in Spain and one in Perth, W. Aus., but I'm guessing you're at the former, but what's it got that M/c hasn't, other than soft, silky, golden, deserted beaches, constant sunshine and a cobalt-blue Mediterranean at your front gate! sad
And also the views from your balcony probably surpass those across Morecambe Bay on a dull day.
But don't forget, some say "Oh to be in England now that Spring is there"!
Half your luck! OoRoo

Good afternoon, I've been out this morning. Sunny & warm here in Devon.

Did my postal vote as soon as I received it, results should be interesting.

I'm off to potter round the garden, not very enthusiastic after my morning jaunt hmm

Good morning everyone, lovely sunny day, but had to take DH to hospital for an operation today, (his second in 2 months) bless him, all being well after this we can start life again. Went to vote first thing so will be watching with interest, but DH is a bit more important today. Enjoy the sunshine.

Good afternoon All x ( nearly evening !)
Beautiful day weatherwise, but a strange sort of a day. I was just getting along nicely this morning with chores and things then a friend rang so that was an hour gabbing. Then I had a visitor, then an ambulance pulled up in the next road to me where an elderly man had fallen and the crew were there for ages with him.
Then a neighbour stopped to talk and that was another hour.
Finally I managed to drop my script into the GP's for collection, returned and another neighbour decided to nail me and when I came to switch on GN it didn't want to play----the 502 error, so I then washed my hair and boiled an egg ( hard ) ready for tea with salad.
I don't feel as though I've done anything but chat today.

Undecided whether or not to bother voting as it seems a confusing mess. I did originally say I wasn't going to bother-------not sure about it at all or whether it'll make a difference.

Hope everyone's well and enjoying this weather if it's your way.

Hello Urmstongran thank you for replying. Yes hope I'm not too lonely, I do read the posts and reply if I have anything to say. I have only spoken to my dog and cat today but they didn't reply. confused

Thank you Greyduster oh yes that sounds good. I have never popped into Soop's Kitchen, will pop in after dinner. I'm going to feed my pets then myself. It's going to be a baked potato and a very small tin of skinless, boneless red salmon with tomatoes & Red Bush tea.
