Good Morning Sunday

Sorry Birthday Invitation is the name of the thread

rufus have you seen the birthday party thread?

You might find it of some interest!

Go on have a peek

it might be a good idea to start a new thread.
Oopsadaisy;
Thanks for that! Sounds like "a good idea", except that some time ago, when I was a "Newbie" (still am), there was a general purpose posting, from GNHQ I believe, advising of the confusion inherent in starting new threads. My ears are still smarting!
Rather than become a nervous wreck, I thought it best to stick to the straight and narrow, i.e. current thread, and suffer the consequencies, regardless of whether or not responses are forthcoming.
So, thank you for your advice; duly noted.
Good Health

rufus if you want a response to a totally different subject than the one you responded to , it might be a good idea to start a new thread.

Except I didn’t today as I didn’t realise it was the first of July!
Nfk; Shame an you! I guess you didn't say "Black Rabbit" the previous evening either! But I'm quite sure you will only have "good" luck.
Thank you for your comment. We are rather surprised and disappointed at the lack of responses! I imagined that we would get to learn of many variations across the country in the same way that dialects vary so much. Dr. Google, of course, says it all, but we were hoping to establish a more "personal" contact with the "natives" to discuss the superstition. However, not to be, apparently.
Interests must be elsewhere, such as the World Cup or carrying on about flabby, male torsos or even the weather!
Good Health and Good Luck
Ooroo

We say Rabbits, rabbits rabbits on the first of the month. Some say white rabbits. Supposedly before you say anything else first thing in the morning. Except I didn’t today as I didn’t realise it was the first of July!

Good Morning Mick and Everyone; Lovely sunny day for a welcome change. 2C to 14C max.
Aussie neighbour, just back from a trip to Switzerland and Italy, popped in today to greet me with some very nice Swiss "choccies"and said,

"Pinch, punch, first day of the month and ........"! also "White Rabbit" to be said before Noon.
My memory is still good enough to complete the first one for her, but never heard of the second. Perhaps it's Aussie! Can anyone help?

Ooroo!

Good morning all, lovely day in SE Essex, light breeze at the moment.

Didn't sleep well last night, I think I got about 2 hours in snatches, feel horrid. Need to shake a leg as off to my good friend in her new bungalow for lunch later (we have been friends for 38 years, she moved next door to me when we were first married, our children have grown up together and now our grandchildren play together) Since loosing my Mum her friendship means even more, as we can remember each other when we were young!!!!! So many years and shared history I count myself very lucky.

Good morning everyone.
Another hot day here in South Yorkshire, and the start of another month of course.I can’t believe how quickly the months are passing by.
A pottering sort of day today, I think.

It’s another hot day here, Cambridgeshire, blue sky not a cloud in sight. Getting fed up with it now, long for some rain, my poor garden. I really don’t do well in the heat.

Interested in your turmeric Mick. I suffer with swollen legs especially in this heat, and could certainly loose some extra pounds. Worried about my medication though, I take blood pressure pills, and thyroid as well.

Good Morning everyone, absolutely beautiful skies here today in North East Fife. So looking forward to today. Special lunch out.

Morning all.

N.Kent has a lovely sunny start today. Same as Norfolk Nfk it's good not to have to wait for the cloud to burn away as we have the last few days.
H left early for the allotment as usual on a Sunday. I'm in the garden with coffee and the papers. I might start some jobs soon

Good morning all x

Good morning from sunny Colchester. It's been hot and dry here but with a cooling breeze....unusual to be the coolest part of the country but has always been the driest.
Would love to have a bit of your rain Oopsadaisy but just overnight for the sake of the garden.
I have achey feet after yesterday's trip to London as we walked quite a bit in the heat. Will take it easy today.

Just had a brief shower in Torquay and it remains overcast and warm, following several days of sunshine.

Good morning from a mild NE. We are having pleasant weather but nowhere near the temperatures the rest of you are having.
My sister is in France and it is 36+ and my daughter is working in Geneva for two weeks and she says it is very warm.

Good morning all from a very sunny day in Leamington Spa. I'm staying with DD1 and 3 DGD'S for a week. My daughter recently joined a choir and we went to hear them sing last night in Coventry. It was beautiful, a mixture of popular songs and some truly wonderful classical pieces. It moved me, and the lady sitting next to me, to tears at times. It was in aid of Combat Stress and a lovely evening.
Family bbq planned for today.

Also in response to what I mentioned about turmeric and black seed oil a cumin seed .
I have set myself two targets .
1: continue turmeric and above alongside metformin
2: Loos weight but I gradual stages aim to get to my body mass weight down from obese /overweight aiming a 5kg at a time reduction in loss.

Good morning Michael and all GNs. A clear blue sky and a light breeze in South Yorkshire. We may get out for a walk if it doesn’t get too warm. In the meantime, a gentle start to the day. Happy Sunday, folks.

Morning all.

North Leicestershire is warm and sunny this morning with a bit of welcome breeze. We had Bertie and Persie overnight both of whom have really bad coughs so a disturbed night was had by all.

Their parents are coming for lunch and then taking them home - I suspect dh and I will have a big sit down and probably a few zzzzz.

Morning everyone,
Absolutely chucking it down here in Cornwall, babysitting the GCs, off to the beach today for lunch, but we might not get the stroll along the beach that we normally enjoy.
Still it’s a change from the heat.
Let’s hope it will stop soon though.
Have a great Sunday.

An early Good Morning to you all from me.......and indeed a little less sunny and a tad cooler over night,so perhaps a far more bearable day.

I have badly swoollen legs so you have me considering the benefits of turmeric Mike and NFKD...........do tell if you think they work.

Another set of viewers travelling down from Bristol.....if they are half as complimentary as yesterday`s were then we shall be happy............a few less cars heading for the beach would not go amiss either!!

Wishing you all a restful day and enjoyment in whatever you have planned.

Good morning, another beautiful day on the horizon here in N. Bucks. Dds two dogs staying whilst she and family are on holiday so just off for a slow wander ( they are both 16 years old) before it gets too warm for them.
BBQ with rest of family this afternoon.
Enjoy your Sunday.

Good morning too, Gaga.

Good morning Mick and Nfk. A beautiful morning again today in Glasgow. I can't believe how long this good weather has lasted. It's great, as all the schools are on holiday now.
Another sleepless night, so I decided to get up and potter about.
Take it easy Nfk. I have thought about taking turmeric Mick, but unsure if it would affect my other medication.
Please keep us updated on your progress.
Enjoy your Sunday.
