Good Morning All x
Have been up a while---honest. I had to get cracking because a chap was coming to fit an outside gas meter, realising I needed more milk I flew round to the corner shop before he arrived and as he knocked I hadn't had chance to take my coat off, so glad I was back in time.

Really windy earlier and so sad to see the oleander flowers being detached seeing as they've been at their best this year. A touch of watery looking sunlight every now and again so I'm tossing up whether to do the washing and take a chance with it being breezy-----I'll see.

Don't need any shopping as I'm organised for the next couple of days.

Have a decent day everyone.

Good morning all from Malta where it is very pleasant and a bit cooler than the high temperatures we’ve had over the past couple of weeks.

It is a Public Holiday today so feels like another Sunday. It’s the feast of Santa Maria and also the day when, in 1942, supplies finally got through to a starving population as the Ohio limped into port. Many previous supply ships had been bombed and hadn’t made it to Malta, so it was a huge relief when it arrived. The Santa Maria Convoy is still remembered and celebrated to this day, so there are a lot of fireworks going off.

I’m not going out today, just doing some cleaning and pottering about, plus pacifying the dog as he is frightened of all the noisy fireworks and petards going off, poor chap.

Hope you all have a good day.☀️??

Hi everyone ? Happy Thursday ?
A beautiful blue sky and sunshine here in Godalming with a bit of a breeze now and then, 19° rising to 21° pm.
A day for going to the seaside and some deep breaths of ozone. ?⛱☀️
Brighton calling so I'll buy my ticket online and have it sent to my phone so no faffing at the station.
Better take a jumper just in case...eh. ?
OH got the car he wanted, to be delivered on Monday...he changes it bi-annually, depreciation and all that.
Anyway, he's off to London and Frankfurt so I'll prob see my oldest son at the w/e.
Wishing everyone a good or better day and ??? for anyone not feeling too good.
Take care...?

Thank you gillybob my GC are all grown up now 6 of them so I am able to wander. I did find it hard after years of child sitting and full weekend's. But it's fine now they visit all the time but look after themselves.

Good morning from a dull windy Leicestershire.

Pleased your DS got his grades Pittcity always a worrying time.

Jealous of those basking round pools in Spain and those contemplating it.

Out for coffee with friends this morning - always a treat.
Our walk by the canal got rained off yesterday so we retired to the nearest hostelery.

Luckygirl Thu 15-Aug-19 09:30:56

Good morning from blue sky and fluffy clouds on one side of the house and black ones on the other - who will win I wonder?!

Wakeful night with OH turning TV and radio up to alert neighbours that we are poisoning him. In the end I took the remotes away and he spent the next hour yelling Help at the top of his voice, until he eventually dropped off to sleep. He is still of the same mind this morning - it's a mad life here.

I too had no internet all day yesterday - no idea why; but when I rang our provider I got a message from customer support extension to go to their website for help......um........!

Morning all,
A cloudy, blustery morning, though we are promised a dry day. (Not sure how accurate that's going to be, looking at the sky). We didn't get the promised thunder yesterday, just heavy downpours. Looks like Autumn has arrived early this year.
Enjoy your day, whatever your plans.

Pittcity Thu 15-Aug-19 09:15:20

Good morning from an overcast Colchester. I've had to put yesterday's shoes outside to dry... should've worn wellies!
DS has got the A level grades he needed and so we are happy.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Aberdeenshire.
The mutt and I are off to the woods shortly for a good chase on the golf course with all his wee mates.

I started painting my second last Xmas present at ceramics last night...nothing like being prepared!

Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone , enjoy the day .

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Good morning from the NE coast where it was a dull start early on but brightening as I type, the weather forecast says it won’t rain today. hmm

I’m just about ready to head off to “that place” where there will be a lot to catch up on after 2 days away. Yuk.

The children all went home (later than expected ) last night and DH did not get back until after 11 pm (when I had to hear the usual post mortem of the job .....yawn)

Anyway it meant my plan to take my dad shopping went out of the window. Oh dear.

Never mind I got stuck in with the housework, vacuumed right through and washed the sticky floors, Children’s beds all stripped and in the wash but not confident in the weather holding to hang them today.

theres a big yellow round thing in the sky

Really Justme67 ? Could it possibly be the much elusive sunshine that we have seen so little of this summer? Or are you hallucinating again?

Nothing in the slightest bit exciting to post....sorry.

I hope all those on holiday continue to have a lovely time. I bet your counting the days Sprout

Thank you all for your friendship . Have a lovely day x

Good morning Michael, Annie to come, and all others.

Oh my, it's good to be on here! We lost our internet connection all day yesterday. It's surprising how I take it for granted, and 'a quick look up' can't be done.

I am meeting a lovely GN friend for coffee this morning, so had better stir my stumps and get up.

Enjoy your day one and all.

harrigran Thu 15-Aug-19 08:11:31

Good morning from a dry NE where the sun is just emerging.
Hurray, I slept through the night without pain.
Stay at home day, DH already has the washer on, I might catch up with some TV.

Good morning everyone from gloriously sunny Malaga. It’s 30°C for the next 10 days. Thank goodness for the gardens here - grass instead of hot sand for baby feet, pools to swim in.

We stay here all day as otherwise it’s ‘mad dogs and Englishmen ...’ plus as our daughter always says ‘why try to make a happy baby, happier?’ They are having fun doing the same thing every day as they each have their own mini group of age appropriate friends to share fun and toys with.

Off to our favourite restaurant tonight about 9pm. It’s Argentinian and Sebastian is a fantastic cook. His restaurant is only across the road from our apartment block which is wonderful.

Hope Thursday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset. Seems a disturbed night for many. Unusually I slept very well so why do I feel exhausted? Not sure how the day will unfold, if it stays dry will be off out for a wander, no idea where though. Hope Thursday is kind to everyone.

Brunette10 Thu 15-Aug-19 07:39:45

Good Morning to all from a bright but windy Fife. It's also rather on the cool side. DGS's were a treat yesterday but have to say feeling quite tired today. We have quite a bit of a journey to do to visit family today so will put my tiredness to one side. Hope you all have a good Thursday.

Sprout Thu 15-Aug-19 07:38:27

Morning Mick and all. Dry at the moment here in Kent. Quiet day for me. Had lovely meal with my D/GD/GS last night. Still feel full up. So only a cuppa this morning. Going to the coast tomorrow for a few days with my new man then to my sisters in Norwich for 5 days with my B and wife. Holiday looming in Spain can't wait. Have a good day everyone.

Lins1066 Thu 15-Aug-19 07:35:50

Good Morning Mick and all. Dry, bright and breezy here on S Welsh coast.
Good luck to all A Level students. I am very glad I no longer have to go to school to find out how my students fared.

Mythbirtthedragon Thu 15-Aug-19 07:32:18

Good morning from east London, bright at the moment. My tennis was rained off yesterday so we went to an interesting exhibition at the Museum of docklands on the secret rivers of London. Basically, they are all over the place. Off to help at the foodbank this morning, then picking up GD at tea time to take her home for a long weekend. She’s going to the 20 week scan with DD tomorrow to see ‘Pip’ so will be very excited about that. Have a good day.

Justme67 Thu 15-Aug-19 07:15:17

Good morning all, there is a big yellow round thing in the sky, and it is not raining. Enjoy your days

Nannytopsy Thu 15-Aug-19 07:02:12

Morning all! An unsettled night as our cat decided he wanted fuss and adoration from 3.45am onwards. We think he has gone very deaf and possibly is developing dementia. DH’s off to school already for his final set of A level results - another “last”!
Best wishes everyone x

NanKate Thu 15-Aug-19 06:59:30

Morning Mick and All.

Awake and bushy tailed for our last hour or so at our relatives before I sneak out for coffee with my GN pal. ?

Newquay Thu 15-Aug-19 06:57:35

Morning all from a grumpy tired Newquay. Went to bed about 1am cos, although tired, wasn’t sleepy. Woke briefly at 3am and been awake now since just after 5☹️ Taking DGC to NT place about half an hour away. Weather dryer-I Hope! Will be so tired (again) today! Will tell DH when he wakes to call me Ratty today!
Hope everyone else has a good day
