Good Morning from an overcast, chilly Cambs.,
Great to see Urmstongran, missed you.
Also Cherry, sorry to hear of your neighbour problems, & your health issues.
Take Care, lovely ladies, 
.
Thank you all for photos, I do enjoy seeing them, it's like me going on a visit to your special places.
Warm wishes to all with extra worries.
Take Care Folks
Good Morning All x.
I'm getting quite used to this sunshine every day, even though the temperature doesn't budge up very much. Washing was lovely and dry as was the large candlewick which I'd just thrown over the whirligig----too big and thick to peg.
One of those days ! The best laid plans and all that 
I'd decided to get to the corner shop early to get a store of fresh crumpets so I gingerly opened the front door and Bertie cat followed me out. When I open the front door it seems to set off an alarm to the front door of the house next door and out she comes 
Nearly 2 hours later and after another neighbour had joined in the conversation, I finally got to the shop and was lucky at least to find just one pkt of crumpets left.
I'm not anti-social or anything but----------when one has worked out their breakfast for a week and it's all but gone when you get there one tends to feel a bit miffed that I've missed out Never mind worse things happen at sea. This is what lockdowns have done to me ! Shocking really.
Awaiting a parcel today, another shredder. It'll be the 4th one I've had over the years as I seem to burn them out. Good job they're not overly expensive. Still, I do need one.
Good to see Urmston back from her break. I understand the anxiety x.
More lovely pics which I really enjoy. The pony one is just lovely. Also pics of Torquay brings back happy memories of holidaying there. I have literally hundreds of photographs of holidays everywhere in the hope that my GGC will one day appreciate looking at though the way things are going they'll be as ancient as the Pyramids.
Mick, those irregular heartbeats are a pain, but I can assure you that you do get used to them over time and they shouldn't interfere with your daily life too much.
Hope everyone else's troubles/ problems are small ones so take care on your travels and remain safe.xx
Good morning everyone from the Gower. Blue sky, nothing but blue sky ? here.
My neighbour was by and large quiet last night ?. She did set me on edge for a brief time when I heard that Woody Woodpecker laugh again, I thought here we go again, but she only did it twice and was quiet thereafter. Phew!
Fortunately daddy has the girls and has done for a while now (mops brow). One of the girls did visit one day last week but not to spend time with mummy, she played with her friends and then went back to daddy's ?.
I, along with my WP, seem to be the only one/s trying to get her the help she needs which is frustrating beyond belief. I worry about interfering but unless she receives more support she won't ever be well and those beautiful girls are the fall out of that! Grr ?. Banging and head are the appropriate words where trying to help is concerned though! Only one person, one on-duty psychiatrist has tried to do something. I called the out of hours and gave him some pertinent information and he couldn't thank me enough. He came to visit but she wouldn't open the door. He had no choice but to leave since he can't can't force his way in without the police. The police can't do that without direct observation. Help for people in mental health crisis 
.
Rock and hard place are other words that spring to mind. Could we move? Yes it's possible. We both love our little home though and have worked hard to get it the way we want it. In addition, we'd have to make it clear that the neighbour the other side of the wall has serious issues. Hardly ideal is it ?
It's such a lovely day I ought to continue where I left off before I ended up in bed for a week and tackle more of the ivy in the garden. I have my daily group quiz shortly too and enjoy that as much for the banter and chat as for the quiz ?. A bit of sanity in the day ?.
It's wonderful to hear that so many of you peoples are getting out and about seeing family and friends and visiting garden centres and even outdoor cafes! ?
Good to see you posting Urmstongran ?
Thank you Susan, brook, Dustyangel, Gwenisgreat, EllanVannin, Nannagarra, hulahoop, and LauraNorder for your welcome backs yesterday and your concern for me ?
Thank you Susan, Ashcombe, Dwmxwg, Beauregard*, dragonfly, grandmajet, Jaxjacky, Pantglas, hollysteers, GrannyGravy, Gelisajams and Taichinan (and anyone I've missed whilst typing) for expressing your care and concern for me today ?.
All of you are wonderful people ?
grandmajet ????????? for you.
Make the most of today everyone and be kind to yourselves ❤️
You'll love the gorgeous Magnolia stellata grandMattie. This was mine this year. I've had it two years and keep it in a big pot. It will go into the ground when I start planning the new garden.
Just flicked through to see whose posted. So many and I'm so pleased to see one from Urm. I'll read them all after this quickie.
Cornish weather looked OK outside from inside the cottage but it's still a bit chilly. A few fluffy clouds?. Sat drinking my Earl Grey.
I have three plants to put on the rockery today. Two could quite easily be divided many times.
Started making a list of what to buy at the nursery I'm off to in a week's time. The other end of Cornwall. They have a 30 acre garden.
Trip to the household dump sometime today.
We've planned for lovely daughter and granddaughter to visit in June but now must tell her not to come 11-13 Jun. G7 submit meeting here. Listening to the local news last night there will be some disruption.
Have a joyful and trouble free Friday Mick and everyone.
Good morning Mick and all gn friends from bright and sunny Anglesey.
Lovely to see you back Urms, sorry you’re suffering a bit, hopefully things will get better when the sun is warmer and the restrictions ease a bit further. Get that neck sorted and you’ll feel tons better.
Genius Taichinan, wonder what the call charge would have been if you’d called an engineer.
Wonderful uplifting photos of blue skies, countryside and seaside. Child and pony particularly lovely.
That moment of a child running with open arms to Grandpa brought a tear to my eye Ash.
Glad you liked your new consultant Grandmajet. Shame you have to wait now that you are psyched up for the op but May will come soon enough.
Hope you had a good night Auntyflo and you too Cherry.
Gosh so many of you bravely getting on with life and looking for that random flamingo and a bit of sunshine. Hope you find it.
Wishing you all a very good day ??
Good morning all from a beautiful bright Lancashire. The birds are singing outside the window and life feels good. I had to get up early to accept a delivery so I’m washed and dressed. Mr.B has just fetched the morning tea so I shall read your news while waiting for my porridge to cool down. It feels hot already so I think today will be a belter 
Enjoy your Friday folks.
