Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , but looks dry outside this morning here in Brackley , but expecting to have a chill wind when out later.
Today , bus journeys to Buckingham and Bicester via Buckingham .
Depends on whether the cafe in Buckingham are doing pork stuffing baps , in which case if they are comeback to Brackley, if no luck will return via Buckingham .
The past few days i have experienced problems with TV signal and picture on my BT box .
Earlier in the week on normal TV screen picture break up on it, so retuned ,and it cleared , but this also effected my BT box as to channels ,I was getting a 4.3 screen instead of 16.9 screen ,anyway in this case did a total Factory reset ,after awhile and installation the box back to normal .
Take Care ,
Mick

Good morning everyone from a bright and breezy A1 as we travel back to Kent at the end of our holiday in North Yorkshire. We have had a great time and the weather didn’t spoil our plans. Always good to get home though where the joys of defrosting the freezer and other domestic chores await!
Hope everyone has as good a day as you can.

Beauregard Sat 26-Sep-20 08:23:18

Happy 100th birthday to your mum dragonfly Is that a card from the queen in the photo?

Good Morning!
Lovely day in Oxfordshire.
Hi Lauranorder
Lovely to see you back Dragonfly and congratulations to Mum flowers
Beauregard Glad to hear your brother is ok. I will also try and catch some racing later.
GC are here and waiting for bacon sandwiches and followed by a tramp through the woods so I had better get on with it!
Have a good day everyone

Thank you so much for the welcome back and all the lovely PM’s I have had.

Beauregard it is indeed a card from the Queen. Unfortunately my mum lives in a world of her own now and didn’t really appreciate it but she loved the one she got a few years ago for her 70th Wedding Anniversary.

Good Morning from a very sunny but chilly Black Country.

Had a lovely catch up yesterday with a friend I haven't seen since February. We were in the cafe almost 2 hours!

We should have flown out to Malaga yesterday Urmston! We were last there this time 2 years ago, and we couldn't believe how hot it was then.

Welcome to the thread LauraNorder
Pleased your brother seems to be on the mend Beauregard

Happy 100th Birthday to your Mum Dragonfly. a lovely photo and great to see you back posting.

Wishing you all a pleasant weekend

Good morning from a sunny cool Morecambe Bay where DH is out running leaving me in bed with my cup of tea.
Didn’t sleep well last night, DS2 phoned late last night in a panic as he hadn’t been paid for his annual leave and was £300 down. He hates the job at the best of times and this was the last straw for him. Being autistic he doesn’t cope well when things go wrong. I calmed him down and assured him it was a mistake and would get sorted and promised I’d lend him the shortfall if it wasn’t sorted quickly. This left me quite worked up and of course I couldn’t sleep. I got up eventually and was amazed to see such a starry night.
We are supposed to having a few days away in out camper next week, but as cases are rising I’m not so confident about going even though we are self contained. A friend has picked it up she thinks while out on a day trip.
Welcome Laura take care and stay safe everyone ?

Grammaretto Sat 26-Sep-20 08:37:35

Lovely to see you again Dragonfly and to see your mum. A picture to treasure. I see the Queen hasn't forgotten to send a card.

Sorry LauraN that was a bit cheeky of me. But I guessed right!

Sar53 Sat 26-Sep-20 08:45:10

Good to see you dragonfly , and a belated happy birthday to your Mum, a photo to treasure.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 26-Sep-20 09:08:23

Oops!!! .........a phone call to say that a client who had been in the salon this week has tested positive for Covid so they are shutting today to deep clean.

Blue sky and windy here in S E Essex, might take a trip to a garden centre later.

Welcome LauraNorder ?

Thinking of our missing posters, especially gilly ???

Keep safe and well folks ?‍♀️

Morning everyone, sunshine continues here in S Lanarkshire, so nice. I was distracted by an unexpected garden visitor yesterday and didn't get back to say how much I liked your cushion Sar53. I am genuinely in awe of all the talent and creativity of so many on this thread! I have decided that my current challenge is to accept my limitations and support the shops! Taichinan I recognise your thinking!
I do like the sound of your fire pit Kalu although I'm not sure what that is? I have been wondering how to make patio visits bearable this winter.
Gingster I am mainly just freshening everything up but my daughter who has just started her own small upholstery business is making pelmets for my curtains instead of the brass poles they are currently hanging from, they will match a small pale green leaf in the pattern which, I think, will give a cosy feel to the room.
Really lovely picturedragonfly and welcome LauraNorder, this is a very kindly group.

Gelisajams Sat 26-Sep-20 09:13:36

Lovely picture Dragonfly glad to see you back. You have been missed.?

Greyduster Sat 26-Sep-20 09:14:06

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in a cold South Yorkshire. A walk is planned but first I have another curry to make - vege this time - for tomorrow’s lunch. We will probably walk down to the pub at the bottom of the valley, have a glass of Guinness and then stagger walk back. Hope the weather is kinder to you today NfK! Good to see you back Dragonfly. What a milestone for your Mum! Welcome LauraNorder! Love Anglesey! Have a safe and happy day all.

Good morning from a chilly, breezy, grey skied Colchester.
Woke late after a boozy night with a couple of friends. I threw too many empty bottles out this morning. Dishwasher is on and the robot hoover is doing its stuff while I relax with a cuppa. DH has gone to the gym!
Quiet weekend here.

Auntieflo Sat 26-Sep-20 09:23:53

Good morning Mick, Annie and all.
What a lovely picture Dragonfly, and nice to see you back.
My dear mum died 29 years ago, and I still miss her.
I did a big shop yesterday, but still managed to come home without bread and milk. So will have to do that today.
At least the sun is shining, although it is chilly and the heating came on before we got up.
Thinking of Gilly
Have a good day one and all
