Good morning all from Stockport. It is a little bit brighter here but that can only be because the cloud is thinner as there is no sign of sun. Nothing on the cards for me today which is the norm so I am getting used to it and holidays are a thing of the past,so please keep posting about all yours,I live life second hand these days and it is quite good.

Dull here on York.
I'll be home this pm though.

Dull and grey here too.
Sorry, good morning all.
Cold = muggy head, not thinking very clearly.
Oh to be somewhere warm and sunny envy

Good morning everyone.
Dry and bright but cloudy in Northumberland. Quite mild though. I had enough light this morning to have a window shop around Hexham while waiting for the bus.
Enjoy you day everyone. sunshine

Good morning all.
Grey, dull but calm in East Sussex.
The masa Verdi national park , Brice Canyon and Arches national park are all worth visiting. The national parks in Western USA are wonderful.

Good morning all, very dull here, but reading about the proposed holiday destination for Nk brightening my morning, so thank you Nk. I really must get a duster out (for the other half) and show the vacuum cleaner daylight, not sure what will happen after that - enjoy your days.

Dry cold and very grey i dont like these skies they feel like they are on your head if you know what i mean from north essex this morning

Thank you! We're hoping to get into Yosemite a bit so I'm glad it's been warmer than usual. We've been to the western USA before, booking and going wherever we fancy. It worked well. There are so many wonderful little State Parks which no one seems to no about. I have heard a lot have been closed, so it's pot luck. Serendipity!

nina I hope the little one's hospital check goes well. flowers

MariClaire Thu 12-Feb-15 08:03:58

Wooohoo! So do it! Ahh, the weather should be lovely as well but also prone to an occasional cold snap this time of year. San Diego's climate, downtown redevelopment and overall casual, friendly atmosphere makes it a really special destination. I hope you love your holiday!!

Morning all.

California #bigsigh if only smile

Yet another dull grey day here. I've got school pick up this afternoon as the youngest has hospital check up.

MariClaire - Baja Penisula - Whale watching / bird watching trip on a boat from San Diego for two weeks. Then hiring a car and heading towards the The National Parks (Joshua etc) for more birding. Hopefully DH may have had his fill of birds for a while and I may get to stroke a whale's nose!

Kiora on a side note, your profile is one of my favorites! Such interesting descriptions and a no-nonsense approach make you sound fun. Well done!

I'm up at my usual time as I have to go out at 8 o'clock to pick up my grandson and take him to school. This is my daily lot at the moment as they live too far from the school to consider walking and my son is currently banned from driving! I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to next week which is half-term and I get a week off. At least it isn't frosty this morning.

Kiora Thu 12-Feb-15 07:44:44

Morning mick and everyone, looks grey and mild here in Kent. So tegan which was it the toddy or the gym? Hope your journey is is comfortable mick & you arrive safely. Hope we see some sun mariclair have a good day all.

MariClaire Thu 12-Feb-15 07:42:47

Oh yes, I live in California, near Santa Barbara. Where are you planning to travel here? How exciting!

NfkDumpling Thu 12-Feb-15 07:35:39

Morning All - a couple of really early risers on here today!

Another overcast dull day is dawning here.

Hope the doc visit isn't anything serious MariClaire - or anything too uncomfortable! I don't know where you are on the West Coast but I hope the weather continues fine - we're off to California in a couple of weeks. [gettingexcited] smile

Good morning everyone, seems very mild here this morning.

MariClaire Thu 12-Feb-15 06:21:03

Good Morning Everyone! It's still Wednesday night at 10pm over here on the US West Coast. Once again, we have a beautiful week of warm 80+ degrees. Our garden is so confused. We have had no winter here at all. I even had to turn on sprinklers FGS and water all the plants that should be dormant!

Nice lambswool or cashmere sweater? Not a chance It's just too hot sunshine

Tegan, I'd go with the whiskey and milk. Have a lovely day ladies and gents, wherever you are. flowers I'm off to the doctor in the morning.

Tegan Thu 12-Feb-15 05:37:12

Can't sleep; not sure what it's doing outside [still dark]. Can't decide whether to give up trying to sleep and go to the gym for a work out and a sauna when it opens [6.30] or have some milk with whisky in which will mean I can't drive anywhere for ages.
