Good Morning Sunday

Morning Mick from a still dark Spain- shan’t get up til it’s a lot lighter, can’t ?‍♀️ in the dark!

Another quiet day for us where I’ll change the bedding and have a bit of a tidy up - a proper clean sounds too strenuous for a Sunday!

A peaceful day for all ?

Morning from a grey damp E Kent. Isn’t it chilly? And us still in August (just)!
Mick, I think you’re right about the TDF commentary. DH Dā’īs something to the effect that the pictures went from motorbike to a plane to a centre to a satellite, then back to the ground (somewhere, I assume home nations) For commentary back up to a satellite and finally earthbound for broadcasting. All in 8 seconds... Isn’t technology amazing?
Quiet day yesterday. To my utter astonishment, I received a mail from the Indian fabric people to say I would receive it on Thursday, barely a week after ordering.
Today, virtual church, roast lamb and all the trimmings for dinner. DS1’s school canteen provides mostly chicken, goat or mutton, never ever beef, pork or fish, so I try to give Him those if I can. DH is very fond of lamb soi try to keep him happy too.
Hope you have good days, thinking of all those with flooding.
Take care, be safe ♥️

Good morning all! Going away on Tuesday so hope to do a preliminary pack today and get organised! Also church this morning in face masks and an online bridge match this afternoon plus cook an evening meal for my son and his GF who are staying.They are staying for some time while they try and get jobs in Edinburgh. Not a good time to be applying! Have a peaceful day everyone and TOYA with illnesses/ worries

Good Morning from a dry Severnside. I think we’ll have another sunny day. If so I’ll potter in the garden and read my new gardening magazine with a bank holiday G&T.

My daughter and I visited a garden yesterday with plenty of water features and had coffee and cake to finish our trip.

She made me laugh as she said that she walked into a cobweb as she entered her bedroom here and I said ‘It must be a new one as I’ve been in and out of your room today’ she replied with ‘I’m taller than you mum’. Oh dear time to get the duster out?

Enjoy you Sunday everyone whatever you do ??

Morning Mick, morning All from a bright corner of Somerset. Sunshine forecast for us today, hooray. Not idea what we’ll do. Not a lot I suspect as shed sorting and garden tidying were accomplished yesterday. Mr C’s comment about his shed was ‘oh ye of little faith’. That told me! An unexpected flying visit from Littlest and his minders finished the day happily for us. Take care everyone, special thoughts for those with health or other worries.

Sun’s up here! ?
It’s darker in a morning now then it’s as if a light has been flicked and it sunny!
Good morning everyone from Malaga ?

The local SUR newspaper reported yesterday that Supersol have all been bought out by the French Carrefour group for 73million. 90% of Supersol are in Andalusia. The one across the road will be a Carrefour Express in the NY. Perhaps I ought to do what the savvy young ‘uns do & buy some Supersol own brands and put them up on eBay next summer and make a small fortune? Nah, can’t be bothered and I have never had any interest in an eBay account
?

No plans whatsoever today. Might have takeaway pizza tonight. If I go over to eat I’ll be tempted to have ? with it!

Hope Sunday is kind to us all. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning all from a drizzly Suffolk coast. We’re definitely getting our long awaited rain now. The lawn looks greener already.

Yesterday DH went to his first local football match. It made such a difference to him. Jolly and chatty and enthusiastic (for him) and his team won. It rained the whole time but he just didn’t care. ?. While he was out, I made a large jar and a small jar of tomato and apple chutney as I listened to a radio play by Agatha Christie. One that had been hidden away for decades. ‘The Lie’ . Not a murder/mystery but a reflection in her unhappy first marriage. Quite good. Watched another Aggie at teatime ‘Murder on the Blue Train’. I love the era and the plots.

Terrible fires in Spain. Anywhere near you Urmstongran?

Good service from the Indian fabric company GrandMattie. ?

Left over gammon ham (from having visitors). What to do with it. .? Might just have it with mash and pickles. A la Christmas. ?

Have a pleasant day all. It sounds like some of you have got sunshine. Not a great Bank Holiday here though. ?

Good morning Mick and All.

Safely back home after a lovely few days in West Berkshire. We were recommended to a small pub in Chilton Foliat which turned out to be excellent, in fact we went twice. We later found out the young man owning and running the pub was an ex Contestant on Masterchef, he got to the semi finals. So good to find someone so enthusiastic about locally produced food.

Off for a walk around Cliveden then home via M and S to stock up with some provisions. They are doing a Chinese meal in a box for two I rather fancy that.

Have a peaceful day folks.

Good morning from a cool bright Morecambe Bay. There was a lovely sunset last night so today could well be quite pleasant weather wise.
No Zoom church today. After almost 6 months we are meeting in a field for a communion service. Why was this not done during the warmer weather I question?
A lazy day today as we are always tired after travelling yesterday. DS put his house up for sale and it sold immediately. We called to see the one he is interested in buying, just from the outside of course. How do I tell them I think they are making a mistake when they are so excited. Hopefully they will get a structural survey which will allay my fears.
Enough off my musings. Take care and stay safe everyone ?

No Gingster - Estapona is further along the coast towards Gibraltar - about an hour’s drive away. Awful thing to happen. There was also a fire in an hotel in Puerto Banus two days ago when a 30y old Frenchman died.

Morning all from a chilly, only 7 degrees, North Leicestershire.

Had worrying news of one of DH's brothers last night so that might change whether we get our proposed roast beef today or dash north to see the stubborn old so and so.

Dh has 3 brothers and they are all a worry one way or another! Mine on the other hand are fine......currently!

Take care everyone.

Good morning from a grey, chilly Colchester.
We have new fence panels to paint and install this week so are praying for dry, still weather.
Will nip to Lidl as we haven't got a Sunday roast yet.

Glad you are at a safe distance from the fires Urmstongran terribly sad about the 30yr old who died in a hotel fire.

Good morning Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire but it hasn’t warmed up yet. We went out picking elderberries yesterday to make some cordial. DH volunteered to strip them off the stalks while I was making a curry, and then said he wishes I would get this foraging thing out of my system! He didn’t complain when we were making wine with them years ago. I didn’t tell him but we haven’t finished yet - I need more?! Roast pork for lunch today - DD and her menfolk are coming to eat with us. Blackberry and apple crumble for afters. Have a good safe day folks.

Good morning all from a cool Glasgow, it's 43° degrees here, definitely autumnal, but a least it's dry!
Poor DH was woken up by me telling him that he had slept in for his golf game.
He was not amused. I thought today was Monday.?

DD and SIL arrived for lunch yesterday, very early as usual. I thought I could hear someone in the garage and went to investigate. They were sneakily trying to hide boxes of stuff from their flat, as they are planning to move soon, once they do some jobs in it.
Later I got a text from DS2, saying his was flat was being surveyed tomorrow in preparation for a sale and was there any room in our garage or loft! Both siblings are now bidding in a space and possibly a bed war. ?
Just now seems to be the time to sell, houses here are selling in days and way above the asking price. Great for the sellers, but not so for the buyer.

DH has just come back with the papers, so a gentle morning relaxing in the conservatory and perhaps a stroll to see if there are any brambles in the field behind us. DH will only eat bramble jam, not jelly. It's such a footer to make( faff) !!!

Sending everyone my best wishes for a peaceful and gentle Sunday.

Good morning Mick and all

The sun is trying to get through the clouds and it’s breezy here in S E Essex.

A lazy day here until DD and GC turn up for dinner (roast chicken) we do not eat till 7ish so there is no rush.

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Marydoll, these day (+retirement) make it hard to know which day is which.
And surely bramble jam is easier to make? Unless he likes it seedless, in which case, I absolutely agree! ?

Good Morning Mick and all. It is sunny and chilly here on the S Welsh coast. Family coming to eat later so looking forward to seeing them. We are having a roast chicken which will go down well. Have a peaceful Sunday everyone and stay safe.

Good morning Mick and the rest of the gang. Grey in Suffolk but it has stopped raining and the wind has died down. We put the heating on for an hour last night as it was so chilly. It is DGS’s birthday today so we are off to their campsite this afternoon for pizza and cake. I bet they were cold last night!
I want to do some garden tidying this morning, to make sure the brown bin is full for collection tomorrow! Also, friends are coming next weekend and I want to have got further with building new beds etc. She is a garden designer!
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry and cloudy but with a definite chill in the air. I hope the Bank Holiday weather improves a bit for everyone with outdoor activities planned
Yesterday morning I popped to see DD2 and my two DCG who live close by, it was lovely to see them as I’d missed them all whilst I was away. I’ll try to get a FaceTime call with DS1 sometime today as I’ve not seen him since last year as he lives abroad.
Nothing else planned for today, I’ll be pottering in the garden for a bit as there’s always lots to do and I enjoy being outside.
Hope things turn out ok with your DH brother kittylester
Happy packing mumofmadboys ?
Hope everyone finds something to enjoy today and take care whatever the day brings ?

Good morning from a bright and sunny Black Country.

Had a lovely walk yesterday along Cardingmill Valley, it was bright sunshine, but not too warm. It is about an hours drive from here.

Planning a BBQ tonight as Partners daughter is here today. They are going on a bike ride later, so I will have chance to read and relax

Wishing everyone great Sunday

Happy birthday to your DGS nannytopsy hope you all enjoy the pizza and cake! ? ??

GM I meant to say, he prefers jelly, not jam. No seeds allowed!!!!!
