Good Morning Everyone,
Up early as usual, to what looks like another warm day here in Brackley this morning.
A quiet day to day I might treat myself to a bar of chocolate which I have brought .
Otherwise a lockdown, I did buy myself some 5KG dumbells a year or so back so may exercise using them .
Trying to avoid becoming a couch potato .
Mick

Happy Easter to all. I got washed and dressed this morning as if it were a normal church-going Sunday, watched the service from my church online, sang all the hymns with gusto, and am now going to prepare my lunch, which can cook whilst I do a bit more gardening.
Hopefully then I can get a good night’s sleep and start again tomorrow - oh good, it’s a bank holiday!

Aepgirl - same as me! Enjoyed our virtual church service, singing always interesting! But great to remember what is our only hope in life, the Resurrected Christ.

I know there will be some who are worried, anxious and grieving- it must be so hard and I do think of you and thank the NHS staff and all keyworkers, those who work in care homes, the cleaners, the binmen and others who we take for granted. But not any more!

A very Happy Easter to everyone on gransnet.
We are having our roast lamb tomorrow as it feels too warm today and colder weather is forecast tomorrow.
This is a very strange Easter but nevertheless no doubt we will all come through and it will be a topic of conversation for years to come.
We are having House Party with our daughter son in law and 3 grandchildren in australia so are looking forward to that.
Keep well and safe everyone.flowers

Happy Easter to all of you. ?
Happy anniversaries to the Grammarettos, * ninathe nana's* and the Pixiepurples ??????
Slow cooked lamb (Celtic style) for dinner later, with all the trimmings. I bought the lamb in February and froze it and am now glad that I did. We've even got an Easter egg each, courtesy of a volunteer who rang and asked if we wanted her to get some. Wonderful ❣️
My wonderful 3 great nephews are "delighted", according to their morning text and video they sent us, with their Easter card (and 'money' in envelope inside saying "Only to be spent on treats!") they received from us (helpful Mr Google).
flowers to all of you, especially those of you who have has recent losses of loved ones.
Make this Easter the best it can be ❤️

A Happy Easter everyone from a misty Sweden.We have been buying sacks of soil to put the pansies we have bought, into pots to get some colour in the garden.
We had rain in the night so we are expecting everything to become green once the sun appears.

Happy Easter from a now sunny Staffs-we’re having roast pork too!
Happy anniversary to Gramaretto, Nina and Purplepixie too.
Heartfelt sympathy to EV. We are a resilient bunch-I understand the 11th commandment is “Thou shalt plod on”-don’t mean to be facetious.
We dressed as if going out, watched virtual church service. Local DD1, DH and their 4 lovely children came to us-way down garden-and brought us two Easter Eggs too.
Only spoiled by inconsiderate neighbour having a bonfire-yesterday AND today! What a bombastic oik he is, seems to think he’s the only one with mounting garden waste!
