Good Morning Everyone,
Its grey but dry and windy this morning in Brackley , after yesterdays day out in what I could call Monsoon weather , warm rain but like having a shower outside.
Hoping to do my cemetery trip today, plus small shop.
Mick

Sounds like heaven Gabriella I really does. Such a simple thing to do too. Enjoy it, I'm only a teensy bit envy

GabriellaG54 Wed 26-Jun-19 12:01:25

Thanks gillybob smile
That pic was taken last Autumn.
I might post a photo of today's visit on here tomorrow. I sometimes take a book and a small picnic and find a nook where I can have a couple of hours silence in the fresh air.

What a beautiful scene GabriellaG . I love the reflection of the trees on the water. smile

Hello Justme good to have you with us! You’re right, this muggy weather doesn’t encourage much movement does it? Mind you I am lazy ....

It’s 11:20am I’ve had a delicious cooked breakfast, coffee but I’m still in my pjs. Oh dear. Need to jump in the shower now, the bus downstairs is at noon!

Hi everyone ??
On the phone most of this grey, muggy, breathless morning after my usual run at 06.30.
I plan to visit Winkworth Arboretum this afternoon and take some photos. There's a nice cafe and it's only a 13 minute bus ride from home.
I hope all GNers have a wonderful day and can get out and about after the deluge...and for those staying in...

Ooops I just posted this on the Good Morning Tuesday thread by mistake. I think I am cracking up but I am so relieved it is actually Wednesday !

A very late good morning from the North East. A very hectic start to the day and not a second of spare time to post. What with the breakfast café, uniforms, PE kits, teeth bushing and everything else in between there's barely time to draw breath. School runs were a bit more hectic than usual as the country roads were flooded. We were almost late for the buzzer at the primary but just made it in line. Then a mad dash up to "this place" . Everyone out on site now so its just little old me on my own for the rest of the day. If it weren't for the company of the GN family I think I would go mad !

Have a good Wednesday all. x

PS weather still rubbish here in the North East. Grey skies and damp.

Good morning all from a very grey Devon, looks & feels like a repeat of yesterday, humid & at the moment no sign of the promised rain.

Housework today as I've just heard I'm having a couple of windows replaced tomorrow, they only rang yesterday to say they were coming, short notice but I will be glad to be able to open bathroom & bedroom windows.

Justme67 Wed 26-Jun-19 09:45:56

Good morning all, just popping in to see how you all are, and let you know I am still around. Not enjoying this weather at all, too stuffy for me, but a good excuse to sit and do nothing, getting good at that. Take care

aggie Wed 26-Jun-19 09:36:46

sunny Good Morning to you all , the sun is actually sifted through high cloud but at least it isn't raining wink

Sprout Wed 26-Jun-19 09:14:53

Morning Mick and all. I hope you like your shower outside fully dressed otherwise you could be in trouble just joking Mick. Well same weather here in Kent just not so humid. Lunch with my pals ( ladies that lunch today ) some good banter which is good for the soul. Then walking the dogs so hope rain stays away. Have a good day everyone

Good Morning All x
Not the best of days again with a grey sky and a cool breeze.
The bloomin' crows have been noisy this morning drowning out the lovelier sound of the usual songbirds.

Paperwork to sort and tidy. I don't know where it all comes from, but must get another shredder. I know my water bill is amongst the pile somewhere so will phone that through today before I forget.

I expect to see the GGC this weekend as GD is off to Glastonbury to see Oasis who she's followed since they first appeared on the scene. She's been a few times as well as Creamfields -where her and her brother were drenched last year as it poured down and GS lost his wallet.

Hope everyone's day goes as planned.

Good morning from an overcast NE.
Yesterday was a TV and book day, weather was awful.
No plans for today, don't fancy a soaking.

Anniebach Wed 26-Jun-19 08:53:53

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning all,

Well, it rained virtually non stop yesterday and, though it's not raining now, everywhere is sodden and the sky is leaden. Another day when I won't get the front hedge trimmed!

I do hope you enjoy your tour of Stockholm, BlueSapphire despite the rain. As I said yesterday, it's a beautiful city, and is often referred to as the "Venice if the North" because of the many lakes it is built on. It looks spectacular from the air.

Hoping to see my SiL this pm. She had a fall at work and is off at the moment with a suspected fracture to wrist, poor thing, so is unable to drive anywhere for the moment. It's amazing how we take our limbs for granted, isn't it, and only when we hurt ourselves do we realise just how important they are!

Hope Wednesday is kind to you all. ?

DanniRae Wed 26-Jun-19 08:20:02

Good Morning All! A grey start here in South East London. Housework this morning (so boring!) and a visit to a friend this afternoon to look forward to smile.
Have a good day one and all.

Mythbirtthedragon Wed 26-Jun-19 08:17:40

Good morning from east London, dull but dry for now. Hope it stays that way for at least this morning as it’s my return to the tennis court. Later on I’m doing school pickup and taking GD to gymnastics. Have a good day.

Auntieflo Wed 26-Jun-19 08:17:24

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all.
It is dry here and muggy, but grey skies again. After the stair rods of rain, bouncing off the roads yesterday, I think the garden will be OK for water!
By the way, I have had three tiny tomatoes appear on my plants. Exciting, hope I don't kill them off.
Off for my Vit B12 injection a bit later, so expect it will perk me up, and this evening we are off to a musical get together.
Enjoyed my stint in the charity shop yesterday.
The lovely young lad who has been volunteering for part of his DOE award, has now finished, and we shall miss him.
Not much else happening here, so have a good day one and all.

Resurgam123 Wed 26-Jun-19 08:15:04

We have had lovely Jay in our garden for some time now. It seems to be on its own.
It is very lovely bird and is a pleasure to see. So much for being a very reclusive bird.

I have not managed to take a photo of it yet.

Greyduster Wed 26-Jun-19 08:07:48

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s damp here today but with luck it will dry up. I ache all over after our swimming yesterday - I was going to go fishing today, and I never thought I would hear myself say it, but a day almost wholly on my feet doesn’t appeal at the moment. So I am going to John Lewis instead to buy some new bathroom scales. Have a good day folks.

Pittcity Wed 26-Jun-19 08:00:16

Good morning from an overcast and slightly cooler but still humid Colchester.
We had a flock of newly fledged sparrows playing in our garden yesterday evening. Unfortunately one didn't make it through the night and was on the patio this morning sad

Walking into town for weekly coffee meetup and a bit of shopping.

Marydoll Wed 26-Jun-19 07:56:04

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow. It's to heat up later on....I hope!

I'm off to doctor's, while my husband cuts the grass. Depending on how tired my husband is afterwards (It's lot of grass!), we may go out for a run down the coast for lunch. I haven't really been out for more than eight weeks, so I'm keen to escape! grin
At last the garden is looking more like it's old self, I have struggled to keep on top of it in the past year.

I hope everyone has a pleasant day.

Lins1066 Wed 26-Jun-19 07:52:06

Good Morning all.
Cloudy on S Welsh coast and humid. Slept intermittently due to an aching foot.
We have nothing planned but may go out for lunch, we'll see.
Have a pleasant day everyone.

Resurgam123 Wed 26-Jun-19 07:46:48

Good morning All. No surprises in the weather here in Cheshire. It is a uniform grey sky outside.

Urmstongran Wed 26-Jun-19 07:42:36

Good morning everyone from a dull south Manchester. We are going over to see dad late morning and take him some shopping then my husband has a repeat blood test this afternoon.

Might pop over to play and bath the smalls at 5pm. Grandson was delighted with the Lego that grandad spent hours putting together yesterday while he was at school but he still wanted to play softball with grandma! I laughed and said to my son in law it’s nice to know I’ve not been usurped .... and I’m cheaper!

Hope Wednesday is kind to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Brunette10 Wed 26-Jun-19 07:33:22

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It's dull here at the moment in Fife but I am hoping it gets a little brighter later on. We have our DDG's today for their mid-week visit and we shall certainly get out an about today. Hope today is good to everyone.
