Ektorp sofas are wonderful. Eleven years ago we purchased two large ones. Looking to buy some again. I hope they never stop the design.

Here's another coincidence, Gaga. I spent the weekend dying covers from these sofas for DD! Someone had given her almost new sofas, but the covers had faded in the sun!. They came up a treat. smile

Good morning, lovely sunny morning in the NE.
Yesterday was glorious and we spent the afternoon at the seaside.
Today we are going out for lunch while the weather still holds.

Bluesapphire and Willow - how amazing is this? We have just had our Ektorp 3-seater sofa and two armchairs delivered not 5 minutes ago!

Saw them at IKEA in MK on a recent holiday in the area and loved them. The holiday cottage had them in the lounge and we thought they were really comfortable and now just need to get rid of the two sofas going to British Heart Foundation, then we can assemble them!

Good morning, all.

A bit dull and grey here at the moment, but meant to brighten and warm up later.

Happy birthday Nankate and enjoy your day.

Morning all. Happy birthday Nankate
Beautiful sunny morning here in North Yorkshire. Been thinking of a walk in the local arboretum as the leaves begin to change so today is the day. Then home to sort some more pots for the winter and spring.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning folks smile gorgeous day here again, will be going to the garden centre with DD as she needs various things.
Always an excuse for me to buy plants as well as cake.

Morning Mick, Annie to come and all GN's. It's a lovely day here as well, bright and sunny, and the heating hasn't kicked in yet, well the bathroom radiator isn't warm.
Yesterday had a meet up and chat with GN friends I had met before and a new one. Thanks Greenfinch.
Sounds like a bit of a sofathon going on here
We are off to meet up with friends this morning, then pottering.
Gillybob it's nearly a TGIF day smile
Have a good day one and all

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

No idea what the weather is like in Mid Wales today.

Hope everyone has a good day. X

Good Morning all from sunny Fife. Its a lovely day here for the moment. Later up today as was wakened a bit through the night. I have a yet to be diagnosed very sore finger which is very painful. Hopefully will be better soon. Having a day out today with DH hopefully since we've not been able to get out for a wee while. I hope all are good but for those who aren't keep your pecker up as they say.

travelsafar Thu 27-Sept-18 08:04:21

Looks like it is going to be a wonderful day today, blue skies and sunshine with a tinge of coldness to wake you up!!!
My plan is after cleaning the bathroom to get out in the garden and potter, mostly to enjoy the weather. I will take my morning coffee on the bench at the back of the garden and bask like a whale in sunshine and watch for my little red breasted friend who always appears when i am there and i throw him/her some seeds to eat.
I should have been at the hospital today but I received a call to say appointment cancelled till next weekhmm
This evening I will go meet up with friends and play whist.

Willow10 Thu 27-Sept-18 08:01:21

Good morning all from a bright, sunny East Northants. Another restless night with a sore throat and earache. But I did get out to meet friends for coffee yesterday so not all was lost. I think we are in for a nice (washing) day. Blue45Sapphire, if you are going 'swedish' I can highly recommend the Ektorp sofa and chairs! Have a good day everyone.

ginny Thu 27-Sept-18 07:43:55

Good morning all.
Sun is peeping through in N. Bucks.
We have DGS today so a visit to the park, feed the ducks and then ourselves at the cafe.
Sewing group this evening.

Pittcity Thu 27-Sept-18 07:42:54

Good morning from sunny Colchester. We sat outside for coffee yesterday and it looks like another outside day today.

Greyduster Thu 27-Sept-18 07:37:02

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Light cloud cover in South Yorkshire but it will clear I think. We went out for lunch and a walk yesterday but the sun deserted us. DH has a dental appointment this morning and then we have school run this afternoon. Have a good day, folks.

Blue45Sapphire Thu 27-Sept-18 07:36:16

Good morning all, from a bright and sunny Northampton; a lot milder here today; the heating hasn't come on. Off to Milton Keynes to look for a new sofa and chairs today. The gardeners started stripping the old turf yesterday from my front garden, and laying new turf today, so I will just leave them to it.

gillybob Thu 27-Sept-18 07:34:29

Good morning all.

Have a good Thursday everyone x

Marydoll Thu 27-Sept-18 07:32:25

I meant to say, Anne, enjoy your day with your friend. You have had a tough time recently.?

Marydoll Thu 27-Sept-18 07:30:38

Good morning all. A cool and breezy day in Glasgow.
We have DGD today, but DH had already made arrangements to meet friends.
My sister in law is coming to lend a hand as I have trouble lifting DGD. We plan to do a bit of lunch and shopping.
Have a good day all. Kate have a great birthday.

NfkDumpling Thu 27-Sept-18 07:23:03

Morning All

HIgh cloud here in Norfolk, but there’s a tinge of blue so the forecast hot sunny day may materialise.

We went for a chug down the river yesterday, DH intending to fish for a while. But we both fell asleep in the sun instead (we were moored at the time).

An ‘At home’ day today - washing, housework, gardening....

Three sofas and four armchairs, Gaga? Room for a party?

NanKate Thu 27-Sept-18 07:20:03

Morning Mick Kitty and All.

Thank you for your kind Birthday wishes. DH and I are going out for coffee and CAKE I am off my diet for today. The weather is set fine so I have suggested a picnic by the river and tonight a meal out at a small Italian restaurant, it’s not fancy just good food and wine. I’m very aware how lucky I am that DH and I are well enough to still go out and about, so I am going to enjoy it whilst it lasts.

Hope you have a good day today Ann I know you have been having a tough time recently.

Gagagran Thu 27-Sept-18 07:10:41

Morning all! It's another lovely day in store here on the south coast then set to get chillier but what a super spell of weather we have had.

Our new suite is coming this morning - between 7am and 11am but they will ring half an hour before arrival. Good job as they will need directions to negotiate the road works at the front of our house to get to the rear for unloading!
For two days we shall have three sofas and four armchairs in our sitting room!

Enjoy your day Ann and everyone. sunshine

annsixty Thu 27-Sept-18 06:56:42

Good morning all.
I cannot comment on the weather as I haven't drawn the curtains back yet.
A restless night but H goes for his daycare today so a less fraught day.
Out with my friend this afternoon for coffee and a mooch round the shops or garden centre then my GD is coming for a meal and a few hours chat.

aggie Thu 27-Sept-18 06:56:04

Morning all , dry and nippy out and a very bright moon made me think itis time to get up . Safely back to bed with a cuppa
