Good Morning Everyone,
Its bright and dry here at the moment in Brackley .
No trip to Supermarket today , but will try and do something in my flat during this lockdown .
I got some jersey potatoes and steamed them yesterday , but outside my flat a past tenant grew her own herbs ,and the mint survives , maybe another day.
Hopefully a quiet day but , not stressing out due to it yet , it has not effected me mentally either ,as I look ahead to pleasures to come of getting out and about .
Mick

What a worry for you and your family yesterday Susan56. I’m glad to hear Henry was so well attended by the NHS and I hope he thrives from here on.

Many happy returns of the day to you DoraMarr enjoy those flower beds they sound very pretty! ???

And welcome to you Delene ? it’s lovely to see newbies on here.

Where’s Gabriella and Maw??
And Hetty?

Wishing for the sun to shine here in County Durham this morning.
Happy birthday to you Doramarr. I hope you enjoy your day.
So sad to hear about your friend Marydoll. Let's hope she makes a good recovery. And to Gilly, I am so pleased your hob is now fixed and you can at least enjoy cooking without the stress of it being disconnected.
I'm hoping to get into the garden later to plant some seeds that arrived yesterday, but just want it to warm up a little out there.
We have our fish and chip evening meal ordered for 6 o'clock-don't normally do take aways. My daughter suggested a local fish and chip shop was doing deliveries for Good Friday and I couldn't resist. What a treat!
Other than that a quiet day with "Wolf Hall" on the agenda as reading material.
Have the best day you can everyone.

Good Morning from Newcastle where it's starting to brighten up.
We heard on the grapevine yesterday that a local green grocer was doing home deliveries. As we were down to one "foosty" (hope I've spelt that right*Marydoll*) banana we phoned in an order and wait with mounting excitement for the delivery. At least it's taking my mind off the fact our ancient boiler is on its last legs and the only way we can get hot water is to have the central heating on.
Have a very happy birthday Doramarr and enjoy your walk in the park (Cannon Hill? Brings back memories of the Tulip Festival that was held there every Easter when I was a child growing up nearby)
?
I hope everyone has the best day possible. Keep safe, keep cheerful.?

Good Morning all from a sunny ? mid-Notts. DD has just been to collect some shopping I ordered online which she had been unable to get. So left out under the porch and spoke to her from our upstairs terrace - so missing all my girls ? . Same for everyone I know and it's so important that we stay safe. So sorry to hear about your friend Marydoll. DoraMarr - wishing you a happy birthday . Stay safe everyone and may Good Friday be kind to us all x

Good morning from, if not sunny at least it is a brighter day in Glasgow and dry.

Those jersey royals sound delicious Mick. I have no idea whether our favourite Ayrshire potatoes will be available this year. Very popular annual crop is something many of us in Scotland enjoy. Served in the skin with butter. Very moreish.

I looked at the mountain of ironing yesterday, I looked again this morning and it’s still there? suppose I better do something about at least taking the top off the mountain. I loathe ironing but needs must at the moment.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from sunny Devon. My Good Friday will be spent as I normally do, the whole Easter weekend in fact, staying at home. Normally this is to avoid the crowds heading for Dartmoor but this year just because I can potter around my garden obeying the Government guidelines

Susan, sorry to hear about the little chap's plight, he must have been poorly bless him but so glad he was attended to by our wonderful staff. Hope things improve as time goes on, it's such a worry when they're small.
Maybe future appointments will get to the bottom of things so that you can all rest easy as well as Henry of course.
Sending love and best wishes for a speedy recovery. xx
