Good Morning Everyone,
The sky this morning is grey but its dry, and with some wind.
Hoping the Sun appears later.
Usual Friday for me , had planned to have a few beers but have changed my mind.
Visit to the chippy nearby later.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Quite overcast in South Yorkshire at the moment. We have a friend coming to lunch today and for some reason I have not slept a wink all night so goodness knows what the food will be like, and I will likely fall asleep face down in the pineapple upside down cake! Enjoy your romantic supper NanKate - people didn’t give much for our chances either but we more than proved them wrong, too!

Hi everyone from sunny blue-skied (with a bit of breeze) Godalming.
Had a nice 'good morning' message from one of my sons at 7.30 which was unexpected and made me smile.
I'm about to have a spinach and chilli-flake omelette and 1 slice of seeded organic wholewheat bread n butter with honey and a large banana. That's all my food until 6pm as I don't like feeling too full.
Hair appt for next Tues and the weekend to look forward to.
More photography perhaps...? and dinner with OH on Sat.
Enjoy your weekends and I hope the sun shines for everyone. ☀️?

Good morning everyone,
As greyduster says, it’s overcast here at the moment, but the forecast is for it to brighten up this afternoon.
My plan this morning is to trim the hedge at the front today (been my intention all week...) before the sun makes it too hot.
Later will make a quiche for tea (DH request last night).
Hope you all have a good day, whatever your plans. ?

(today not needed in that sentence - I really should proof read before posting!)

Morning Michael, Annie and all. ‘The sun has got his hat on’ again this morning, hooray, but hope it’s not too hot, as I am doing an extra volunteer afternoon.
Just seen, out of the corner of my eye, a spider heading for my bare toes! Now he’s heading under the washing machine.
Must go and water my tomato plants, as I forgot yesterday, poor things.
Enjoy your day, one and all.

Good Morning All x
Another fine day if a little breezy, but I'm certainly not complaining. A lovely wash day but I haven't got any to do !

Aussie D and SiL are due home from Skiathos today but will be vanishing again to Kent for the weekend to see his brother, then back here on Monday for a day or two before their long trip back. They've had a wonderful time with friends at a villa, so lovely memories to take back with them.

Apart from a bit of tidying up I won't be doing much else.

Hope everyone will see the sun today, it lifts the spirits so enjoy whatever you have planned.

Good morning everyone.
Sitting here in a Greek hospital being cheered up by Gransnet. Picked a bug up in Peru a month ago and hopefully just having it blitzed by Greek drugs. So glad to be going home this afternoon.

Morning to all, sun shining here but a bit windy again. Not up to much today just waiting for a phone call about DH's MRI scan . Always something to worry about .

Good morning from east London, bright outside and promising to be warm. Taking it easy this morning, didn’t get in til nearly 1 this morning as got involved with a post concert wind down which involved running through our current choir repertoire. (Almost like student days). School pick up this afternoon to take GD to her dad’s then tennis this evening. Have a good day.

Good morning all!
Good luck to Panache and Mr P who are scheduled to move into a sheltered apartment today.
Yesterday was a rather surreal day grin (no names, no pack drill) so I hope today will be more “normal”!
Wishing you all a pleasant day ☀️☀️☀️

That sounds teasingly mysterious Maw

Nanabanana1 Devon's lovely this morning, I'm a bit more inland than you, sun's shining but it's very breezy. Hope it's not another day of tragedy in the Bay todaysad

Belated good morning from Italy! Just been shopping and didn't want to leave the air conditioned supermarket! 40c again today, don't think I'll be going outside again until later! Enjoy the rest of the day everyone.

Sitting on a beach in la Palma having arrived last night. Contemplating my lunch in a few minutes with a glass of local wine. Black volcanic sand takes a bit of getting used to though!

Good afternoon everyone from the beautiful city of St Petersburg, although from where we're berthed all we can see is row after row of communist style tower blocks stretching into the distance. It's a lovely sunny day but a chill wind.

Had a good city tour this morning, and boat trip on the River Neva, and am so happy that I've seen the Winter Palace. Had to keep pinching myself! Spent some roubles on a couple of those Russian dolls for the DGDs.

Going out this evening on an exclusive tour of the Hermitage, only private groups, no crowds - another dream.

Hope everyone's day is going well.

Lucky you, BlueSapphire! We were in St Petersburg last month, and as you say, it's beautiful. We'd been there as students in 1973, when it was Leningrad, and a completely different (and very grey) world. Our guide took us for a trip on the metro and nearly lost some of us - those doors close really quickly!

Good afternoon from me from what we now know as Gentleman Jack country. smile
