Up early partly packed to start my journey up to Harrogate this morning.
Weather wise a clear blue sky here in Brackley this morning , just a tidy up before I go , which is a bus and train situation .
I will be meeting up with GN member and GM regular who lives there , have a chat and coffee before I do my planned break .
Will return to post on Tuesday , so my usual posters you know who are can take over .
Take Care ,
Mick

Good morning all from a very warm but overcast mid-Notts. His lordship the cat has had his morning constitutional on the terrace/catio and has retired to the cool depths of his box. We had a huge storm yesterday evening - all of a sudden the sky went a really strange colour and the heavens opened. Mr BA is rubbing down windows in readiness for painting so I might just be on ladder-watching duty!! Whatever you are up to hope you have the best day possible and please stay safe x

Good morning from a sunny is north of Scotland. I had surprise visitors yesterday and was so happy. I was also relieved the weather was good enough to be outside as they live and work where the virus is a big risk. We had a lovely socially distanced afternoon.
gillybob. I am pleased your DH is home. Could you ask the hospital for a later appointment to allow you to open up. I presume he is going back to the ward. Might be worth ringing them.
Happy to hear so many of you are having visitors and a generally better time. marydoll. Good wishes as I see you are not feeling up to posting. Best wishes to all others who are reading but not up to posting.

Good morning from Durham - blue sky, but only warm today. Too hot yesterday and as said already, black sky by 9pm, spectacular lightning, bit of thunder, then rain! Does the garden good, but the weeds are already like triffids.

Good news on MrG - I’ve been trashing up and down to the (probably the same) Hospital for almost 5 years now with DH. Sometimes in and out in a couple of hours, or then a full day the next time and once last Winter it was 10pm before I could collect him, having sat in a freezing cold car for 2 hours. A couple of routine appointment saw him admitted for 7 and 14 days respectively.

Still here though and as of this month his chemo goes to monthly rather than weekly. His 5th course in as many years.
His friend had just arrived for a visit, so I’m off for coffee with a friend. She has some papers for me to witness, as her house sale looms nearer. 40 years in the same house and she’s a hoarder - already 2 massive skips filled!

Have a good day everyone and hope Mick enjoys Harrogate. I should have been born there, but Mum couldn’t make it home from visiting family here.

Good morning from a lot cooler and pleasanter East Midlands.

Good luck to the Gillybobs who have had a horrible time - I wish a speedy recovery to Mr Gillybob.

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire. Actually in Nottinghamshire working at a children’s home but din is out all children are out so I am cleaning at the moment!! Oh joy?
I loved my motorcycle ride thanks beechnut I thought as a rider I would hate it but I have lost a lot of self confidence on the bike and in the car. Bleary I am still confident in DH he is a brilliant rider. We will be off up to Whitby on Thursday on the bike if the weather is kind to us. I always was a fair weather rider???
So pleased Mr Gilly is home and it all went well.

Take care everyone and stay safe ❤️

Good morning all, (just)!

Happy Yorkshire day to you all. ?

A bit cooler today, though still very warm when the sun shines. We had quite a storm yesterday evening, though quite short lived. Sheet lightening, thunder, a gusty wind and heavy down pour. I thought it might freshen the air a bit, but it was still unbearably stuffy through the night, despite using the fan.

I decided to strip the bed before my shower this morning and glad I did, as I was lathered when I'd finished! ?

So pleased the op went well for Mr gillybob, gilly. You must be so relieved.

Looks like you are going to have nice weather for your weekend in Harrogate, Mick. Hope you enjoy it and the planned meet up.

I haven't read through all the posts yet, so apologies if I've missed something that requires a response, but will wish every one of you a peaceful and pleasant day. ?
