Good Morning Everyone,
Its just starting to get daylight here in Brackley , but its dry and cold out.
Today, bus trips as usual to Buckingham and Bicester, the planned televised cycle race has been cancelled due to other things.
But I plan to have a large all day breakfast later for a change, and hoping that the flea market is more than one stall in Buckingham today.

Good morning from a dry but grey Market Harborough.

Sending love and hugs to the Gillybobs and all who are suffering today.

Good to hear you are having a lovely holiday Urmastongran, enjoy. Marydoll your stories always make me laugh,not sure about the bit about the axes though.

Have as good a day as you can have everyone. X

Morning, folks! Rain again in Argyll. MrBaggs has gone into Glasgow to do some painting en plein air ?. Apparently it's quite sheltered where the class will be.

This morning when I first looked out of the window there were ten wood pigeons apparently eating on our stony lane. I presumed they'd knocked a lot of ivy fruits off the trees above, but maybe they were picking uo grit for their crops as chickens do.

Good Saturday wishes, all.

Good morning all you lovely people on here! I love this thread but only rarely get a chance to post, so as it's still morning ..... After the most beautiful week of warm sunshine, Saturday on the Angus coast has dawned grey, cool and breezy. I feel sorry for all those who have worked all week and have been looking forward to a sunny weekend. And of course those who are poorly - looking out onto a sunny world is so much cheerier than a dull one. I've had a busy week too - but not payed, alas! Our tai chi classes are becoming more and more popular so yesterday I was given the go ahead to start another one in our local town, beginning in May. We'll see what happens. I hope everyone is coping with this pesky virus thing. Yesterday I wore latex gloves at the supermarket - purely because of the trolley handle, which must be a hotbed of bacteria. But I'll probably forget next time I go, being me! I really don't know what to make of it all. Sometimes it seems scary, at other times I forget about it - til I switch on the news of course. I look forward to looking back on it as history and seeing what lessons are to be learned. Now, it's still the right side of noon, so off I trot. Have a lovely day everybody, and ??? to those who are poorly and sad xxx

Lovely day yesterday in the ? at NT property with DH, DD2 and DGD3 followed by lunch in fab new restaurant at the garden centre nearby. DGD3 wanted to walk everywhere so it was more of a dawdle than a power walk ?.

I believe the term buggeration was coined by the late Terry Pratchett upon his dementia diagnosis but I’ll stand corrected if anyone knows otherwise.

Good afternoon all, am late to this thread as have had DGS all morning.
Nortsat46 I too got caught up in the unpleasantness yesterday, and was deeply bewildered. A salutary lesson for me - a social media newbie - not to get involved in speculation; a very sad day for me indeed. I am glad that this thread has moved on to the usual pleasantries and support for all those needing a kind word. Hope you all have a good weekend.
