I just looked through the windows.
I've previously bought half doz pale pink linen napkins edged with hearts and 2 squashy velvet sushions in pink and pale plum (in sale).
Lovely shop. Sell cashmere sweaters too.

Morning all from a grey Northampton. Planning on cutting the back grass this morning, just waiting for a reasonable hour before I start up the mower! Then a late brunch and out this afternoon to DD's choir concert; I am so pleased she has kept up with her music - she went to Saturday morning music school from age 8 to 18, started playing the flute from age 8, was in the County Concert Band and County Senior Choir, toured abroad with the band, and has played in the Festival Hall. Still plays her flute in a band and still sings.

Nothing else planned, except to cook a steak tonight, and open a bottle of Malbec!

Hope today goes well for all.

A late good morning from the NE coast where we have a cloudy start with rain expected later......again. What a non-summer this is turning out to be .

After a very busy week of school runs, childcare and “that place” i finally made it to the weekend. My dad kind of invited himself for supper last night followed by my sister who invited herself along too “unless she got a better offer” cheeky mare. I normally have an easy supper on a Friday or even a takeaway but ended up cooking again.

A day of housework and a bit of shopping later, nothing very much. That shop sounds delicious Gabriella smile

Have a good Saturday everyone x

Morning all, dull but warm here in Bristol, hopefully the sun will appear later.

Good Morning All x
Just one word to describe the weather here--------disgusting !
Gloomy, heavy sky and it's not so warm either. It doesn't help motivation at all.

D and stepD called yesterday afternoon, always lovely to see them. They had come from the x-ray department at the walk-in centre locally as stepD has chronic pain down one side of her body. Poor thing has suffered anxiety for the best part of her life as well just to add insult to injury so her thoughts on the pain are obviously " sinister ".
Anyway I do manage to make her laugh so she didn't feel so bad by the time her sister took her home.
Anxiety is such a terrible illness on its own without anything else going wrong and she's been a worry for many years but you can only do your best.

Not a lot to do today apart from a spot of tidying up and a couple of emails to write.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning, I had a bit of a lie in again as I took ages to get off to sleep last night.
Potential purchasers were returning for a third viewing last night so fingers crossed.
This afternoon we are having coffee and cake with sister and BIL.

Morning all from a warm yet overcast South Notts.
A lazy day with the newspaper, books, crossword and lawnmower, if it stays dry.
Hope all is well with everyone.

Good morning from east London, cloudy and bright and definitely sleeveless top weather. In a hurry as have a choir rehearsal at 10am, ready for the show at WGP tomorrow. Scaffold currently going up around the house, tiles for the bathroom to collect this afternoon and a return to the dreaded paint colour discussion. Hope you day goes well.

Good morning everyone from a warm but dull South Manchester. I had a lie in this morning. Went to the bathroom at 5:30am and thought ‘Gabriella will be going out for her run about now’! What (virtual) friends we are all becoming. And then I went back to sleep. Bliss.

I’d leave the painting job until after the grandchildren have been nina! 2 weeks? Wow.

Your day yesterday sounded wonderful Maw. - a bit of everything in it. Enjoy putting your feet up today! Variety is the spice of life so we’re told.

With a bit of luck you’ll get your takeaway this evening instead gillybob!

I really enjoy Mick’s thread. Took me ages to read and post because of my tardiness. That’ll teach me (not).

I’m minding our 2y old cutie this afternoon whilst 6y old goes to a football presentation and BBQ with mummy and daddy. Bouncy castle etc and mummy has decided too big a crush for miss mini. Lucky me though! She is a doll.
❤️

Hope Saturday is kind to us all, whether we have plans or none.

P.s. I see I’ve still not managed a short post. Must try harder as my teachers used to say... x

Good afternoon,
Rather late posting as I've had a busy morning.
Going out for afternoon tea later ( a , ssh, Christmas gift ?), so looking forward to that.
I see in the paper that we are all to be advised on how much sleep we should get. I wish I could sleep better, but lately it's taking me ages to drop off and then I seem to wake every hour. I think it's too warm at the moment, and that's part of the problem.
Hope you all enjoy a good afternoon and evening.
