Good Morning Everyone,
It looks like its the start of a very warm week here in brackley this morning, hoping to get a few things done today.

Me again! wink
Conundrums; Thought I'd post the following taken from the Summer 2018 edition of the excellent quarterly UK mag. "Evergreen"; quote "Britain's Lovely Little Green Quarterly" unquote.

" Modern marriage is like algebra,
That constantly perplexes,
And tends to pose the problem --
Y so many Xs? "

I was good at Maths at school, that's probably why I like it! grin
Good Health

I’ll leave it until this evening now.

Nfk; Good Evening again!
Wasn't it Mark Twain who said, "Never put off until tomorrow that which can be put off to the day after"
Or words to that effect!; he was a very wise man!

Good Luck and Good Health

Morning All

It’s HOT! Woke at really silly o’clock this morning and should have cleaned the windows then. I think I’ll leave it until this evening now.

Got a mammogram this afternoon. My fault for tempting fate and saying I though the cut off should be older as my MiL was 70 + when she got breast cancer. Fate has decreed that I’ve been chosen for a trial ‘older woman’ test.

Good morning Michael and all, sunny here in SE Essex. Contemplating going to the beach as Hayfever is abmismal, and asthma playing up ( best wishes to Bertie Kittylester) Find it eases being near the sea as opposed to my garden, which is in full bloom.

If we stay home this afternoon it will be bouncy castle up in garden for GS, and 'swimming' in the hot tub for him.

I am getting more mobile each day, now down to 1 crutch, yippee I can do things much easier.

Good Evening Mick, early birds and not so early birds! Awoke (thankfully!) at 6.30am for the usual reason, dark, cold, 3C to 13C was forecast today. Unfortunately they got it right, so back to the Doona!
Cheered on the Poms until the final whistle , at midnight. Although I'm a night owl I'm also like the pussy cat next morning, curled up and comfy when it's cold outside. smile
Good Health and enjoy your heatwave. envy

Hoping Stevierichards will pop over and join us- always room for a little one smile

Good morning all. I was up early, for a change, and decided to defrost the fridge ( yes, it's an old one, but I like it) so thought I would pop in and say Hi. Best wishes to all who are unwell at the moment. I have to go to hospital on Wed, to get results of some tests. Enjoy the sunshine everyone who can be out in it. ?

Good morning,
Another beautiful morning here. A few chores, then intend enjoying this lovely day.
Glad to hear you are feeling better, Jenpax. Enjoy your shopping, but don't overdo things.
Hope Bertie recovers quickly from his op.
To anyone else feeling below par today, take it steady and hope you soon feel brighter. ??

MawBroon Mon 25-Jun-18 09:06:00

Specially for Jenpax - but actually most of us!

Good morning all from a lovely sunny Essex by the sea. A visit to the shops then home. Not much else planned today.
Sorry to hear about all the hay fever sufferers. One of my DGD'S suffers badly with asthma and eczema and her skin flares up when it is very hot. She has a nature trail visit today and I know my DD is worried about her being in the sun for too long.

Morning All from a sunny and sneezy corner of Somerset. Problems with Mr C’s email and BT account so foresee a frustrating day ahead changing passwords and battling BT. Wish me luck, how did these things get to be my job? Hoping for a cuppa by the sea later. ☀️ smile. ?

Good morning everyone, the sun is shining on the Tyne Valley. DGS 2 is here, we've just had breakfast, and now he's consuming skittles. (Only at Granny's house) ?. The Penguins of Madagascar is a fun way to start the day.
Usual Monday stuff to do today, then relaxing.
I hope for a speedy recovery for all those poorly relatives.

MawBroon Mon 25-Jun-18 08:52:01

I hope you are truly on the mend Jenpax and that you can enjoy the lovely weather in peaceful Dorset. Retirement has very definite advantages-particularly at 8.50 on a glorious Monday morning ??

jenpax Mon 25-Jun-18 08:48:25

Morning from sunny Dorset? I am still on long term sick leave following my op in April, but now I feel a bit better I am realising what the retired life will be like when I eventually get to the ever receding state pension age??‍♀️. Today my eldest DD and I are going to have lunch on the beach and then look to get me a few new clothes as I lost so much weight after my op that nothing fits? I can think of worse ways of spending a day?

Pittcity Mon 25-Jun-18 08:36:31

Good morning from sunny Colchester.
Walking Netball this morning and DGS duty this afternoon.
Need to get going after this cuppa!

Greyduster Mon 25-Jun-18 08:32:45

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. I was awake at some ridiculous hour and slept fitfully since, so I am like a limp rag. Kitty I am glad to hear Bertie has been discharged and is feeling better. This weather must be a nightmare for him. GS is doing some sort of cycling speed trial at the local sports centre so we have to pick him up from school alater and get him there. Hope it has cooled down a bit by then!! Have a good day folks.

harrigran Mon 25-Jun-18 08:31:07

Good morning from a sunny NE. I have a medical adviser visiting at lunchtime but after that I should be able to retire to the garden.
Yesterday we had the day to ourselves and I managed two hours under the parasol.
Best wishes to all with health problems.

JustALaugh Mon 25-Jun-18 08:29:44

Morning all, it's very warm and sunny in Nottingham. I was getting ready for my Zumba class when a friend told me it's been cancelled. Damn...I'll have to do some boring chores instead.

Roast dinner (I don't fancy cooking it now though) and Zumba this evening.

kittylester Mon 25-Jun-18 08:12:59

Thank you for the good wishes everyone!

Anniebach Mon 25-Jun-18 08:08:02

Good morning all x

Good morning Mick and everyone .
Monday again.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Panache Mon 25-Jun-18 07:55:48

Good Morning on another sizzling monday,

Absolutely beautiful weather without a cloud up above but sadly it is`nt all fun and pleasure for so many of you,just by reading here this morning I can see your Bertie suffering Kitty,whilst you seem to have family issues Marydoll.......and Maw having a possible dose of hayfever.
We know it ourselves with my DH and I am also having COPD problems.
Having gone for a little wander along our sea front we had to cut short the pleasure and head back home to a peaceful darkened room.
What a waste of such lovely days!
Wishing you and your DS well Yiayia

I hate to think how we will be like by the end of this so called "heatwave!!"

Hopefully you can all make the most of this Monday......and remainder of the week.

NanKate Mon 25-Jun-18 07:47:40

Dear Mick and All.

Just back from a full on weekend with DS and his boys. The eldest 7 was ecstatic with the Football. ?

So sorry to hear just now about Bertie glad he us safely with you Kitty. Do you think you could get a replay of the footie for him today on BBC IPLayer ? I wonder if our Leo will be affected by the heat and pollen today?

Marydoll I recently bought some rather snazzy rubber beach shoes which I can wear if paddling, rather like crocs but a bit more covering. To be honest they are rather garish, the type that would suit Grayson Perry (no disrespect to GP).

Marydoll Mon 25-Jun-18 07:27:16

Kitty, I was sorry to hear about Bertie, I saw the thread late last night.
Myself and my three children are all asthmatic and it is so worrying when wee ones are struggling to breathe.
My two year old DGD has just been diagnosed and needed prednisolone, so I can understand how worried you and your family are.
I do hope Bertie is on the mend, the high pollen won't be helping. flowers

MawBroon Mon 25-Jun-18 07:24:54

Oh Kittylester poor little Bertie. Good that he is home again though, wishing him and you all well. flowers
