Even looking at the word 'moning' makes me chuckle..a sort of pavlovs dogs thing grin...

flowers Happy Birthday Alie - have fun with your robot wink

AlieOxon Mon 21-Jul-14 12:12:38

Oh, gagagran sent cupcake - whee! yum

AlieOxon Mon 21-Jul-14 12:09:13

Thanks everyone!
Actually my sister asked me what I wanted.....
I've had great difficulty - all the floors have got a long way away, and my back hates twisting to use the big hoover.
It will be a godsend - goddesssend? sistersend?

(No cupcake. Will have to make shortbread.)

Happy Birthday, Alie, I hope it's a glorious but not too hot day where you are. Robot vac sounds like a brilliant idea. What a considerate choice.

flowers Happy Birthday Alie sunshine Think of all the vacuuming you don't have to do now!

Good morning everyone.

Hazy skies and a slight breeze which has cooled things down a bit - wonderful smile

Happy birthday AlieOxon - are you following the robot vac around to make sure it does a good job wink

Morning all. Sunny and dry in Cornwall. Happy birthday Alie Please let us all know how you get on with the robot. We have too many steps everywhere but what a fantastic gift. Hope you also get cupcake

Good morning all!

Happy birthday Alie flowers

It is quite overcast in North Leicestershire this morning and a little fresher.

Clearing out and cleaning kitchen cupboards [yeuck] to make way for DD's cake making stuff - there is flippin' tons of it!! Then I'm off to explore the new Lidl - bet you all wish you had my exciting life, don't you grin

Before all that though I am going to twitch some net curtains (if I had any) to see what is going on with the house over the road. I hope the new people don't find it as entertaining to dance and sing on the roof of their car at 3 am as the last lot did angry

DD1 is going, as the extra adult for one of 'her children', with a party of children from her school to an adventure hostel near here and was not too put out when the venue said they couldn't accommodate her overnight. So we have two daughters staying tonight wine.

Enjoy your days everyone sunshine

Morning everyone and Happy Birthday Alie flowerscupcake!

Very warm and sunny again here on the SE Hampshire coast. Just been to the library and got collared to fill in a petition against moving it from its present, very convenient, central position to a more remote (cheaper?) location. As one irate library user said "Why can't they ever leave anything alone?" Indeed!

Enjoy your days everybody. sunshine

Happy Birthday alie have a good day.

Glorious day here after the tropical rain of yesterday. Lots of plants got bashed down, and I had to plough through wet growth.

Much fresher with a north wind. Looking north this morning on our walk heavy cloud but looking south over the sea blue sky and white sails on a blue sea.

Waiting for eldest grandson who is cycling to us from his home village Steyning. Plan to go into the loft today and get the surfboards down plus anything else he doesn't feel too old for!! They are old enough to have stand-up lessons now so that means yet more surf boards!!! Still I will use the body boards.

My birthday - and I have already had it!
Saturday my sister took us to the Barley Mow in Clifton Hampden - good food and very interesting building.
Yesterday I was supposed to see my daughter, but with the heat neither of us had the energy.....

Sister gave me a robot hoover!

Gardener is here and grass actually needed mowing this time - we've had very little of all this rain.

Galen Mon 21-Jul-14 09:58:04

Some cloud, but feels warm.

Charleygirl Mon 21-Jul-14 09:30:31

Another sweltering day here in NW London. I am not sure if I can take many more and I am just doing the bare minimum to keep body and soul together.

hildajenniJ Mon 21-Jul-14 09:05:07

Good moring Mick anbd all the Granspals gorgeous morning here in Northumberland. Already very warm, 26°c in DH's greenhouse. Not quite that outsde of course. Washing already well on its way. Would love a trip to the seaside if himself is up for it later.

Lona Mon 21-Jul-14 08:59:44

Allo Allo! Good Moning Monday? grin

Feeling fresher this morning thank goodness, and the sun is getting ready to appear.

Lovely sound of running water when I was sitting in the back garden this weekend...............turned out to be the toilet cistern overflowing!
My neighbour is hopefully going to replace the valve tonight as the water is flowing onto my flat roof, and I'm getting nervous!
