Good Morning Tuesday

Late as usual. Good evening from Portugal. 5.45am saw us leaving Peterborough after celebrating DS's 50th birthday at the weekend. The sun came up as we headed down the M1 then on to the M25 and finally M23 to Gatwick. The plane departed early and arrived in Porto even earlier than scheduled. Clear skies all the way so had some great views out of the window. Now it's bedtime as it has been a long day and this is when we realise we arent young anymore and travelling is tiring. Night all.

Stay safe Artols.

Stay safe Artols so sorry for those suffering and who may have lost everything.

Good Morning (Afternoon) from a very smoky California. I’m watching the news and see that the fires are still blazing. Looking out of the window it looks as bad as ever. As I previously said however, we are far enough away to be safe, but it is frightening nevertheless, as the entire state is so tinder dry.

Well, good afternoon to you Mick from here in the East Midlands. It's bright and warm which is just as well as the boiler's on the blink. Plumber coming tomorrow afternoon to fit two new parts.
If my dear late husband was still alive he'd say to me whenever there's a mention of Plymouth - 'You were sick on the Hoe!'
After a long train journey (bad traveller with migraine) and one tiny mouthful of my favourite fish'n'chips the inevitable happened. In modern parlance I 'parked a custard' - oh dear. I can laugh now but it wasn't funny at the time.

Morning all, from a gloriously sunny and mild Aberdeenshire. Not a cloud in the sky and blazing sunshine. My lovely friend has whizzed through the house and now all is clean and tidy. She brings her dog, (pug) and I have had a happy hour entertaining him in the garden.

Good morning everyone.

It sounds as if you had a lovely time mick - when's the next one? ?I don't blame you for doing it in the slightest, enjoy yourself and do it while you can.

It's sunny but cool here this morning.

Need to attack all the leaves that are falling off the magnolia today and put them in the compost heap. They have been green for a long time this season, but all of a sudden became yellow in this last week or so and are now falling off the tree in droves. It will keep me busy for a few days.

Hope you all have an enjoyable day whatever you are doing. ?

Heavy rain last night in E Sussex, sun is now shining, the fields/woods behind us look amazing with all the autumnal colours. Off out to take elderly Mum to see my younger bro who is recovering well from both throat cancer and a heart attack, he is a walking miracle ! So very thankful for that.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

I think we will have a rain free day in Mid Wales.

Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning Mick, welcome back. Morning Annie, to come and all who follow.
Bright, clear blue sky, so may be chilly when I poke my nose outside. Early appointment this morning, then after today, only 3 more to go. Hurrah.
Going to have a coffee later, and pick up some jeans from a friend who needs them to be shortened. Then on to my volunteering afternoon. I do enjoy that so much. Lovely group of people that I “work” ??? with.
My knitting is coming along, and not too much to do now.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. Not a cloud in the sky and it's not cold either.
Ironing and shopping are must do's today.

Morning everyone.

Sunny day here in Kent.
Late today after a lousy night due to DD sharing her cold. I'm still in bed but need to get in the shower now as meeting a friend later.
Have a good day everyone

Good morning All x
A lovely bright sunny day in the offing today so washing on the agenda. Shopping is a must as I need a " giant " tub of Lurpak because I cook and bake with it as well as daubing it on my crumpets ( breakfast )
Like you travelsafar the Christmas mood isn't yet upon me it's all about making that initial effort and for me it's getting the " special " cards out of the way first. The rest will hopefully follow.

Good morning, it is overcast this morning and damp out.
DH has a hospital appointment at nine so has been up and about for a while. I am feeling sore and achy from my cupboard sorting yesterday but did remove three large sacks of unwanted things.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Glad you enjoyed your break, Mick - a long time since I went in a good pub crawl. It was a real ale trail! The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and we are hoping to walk today. I am taking my new camera for its first outside outing. Still getting to grips with it. Gaga we had sage green walls in our last living room, with a cream frieze. It was very restful. Have a good day, folks.

Looks like a another good day on the way here in Letchworth. Glad you enjoyed your break Mick. Not sure what to do this morning. May join some friends for coffee if i can get myself organised in time But am defo going to start my Christmas shopping today. Lists made of cards i need to buy and ideas for gifts for people. Hoping that getting started, will get me in the festive mood as currently i am not feeling it at all!!!

Good morning from North Yorkshire. The sun is just about up in a lovely clear sky. Off to Harrogate this morning to meet a friend then History Society this evening.
Pleased you had a good break Mick.
I hope the day is kind to everyone.

Good morning all, it looks like we have had heavy rain overnight.
It sounds as if you have had a good trip, Mick.
Busy day for me today also. I have a hairdresser's appointment and then hospital this afternoon, not the most pleasant of appointments, as I know from past experience. ? At least my hair will look good!
I may get a peek at the shops. Parking is so bad, we will leave the car at a big shopping centre and jump on the bus.
Gilly look after yourself!
Have a pleasant day, everyone.

Good morning all from a clear, crisp and sunny morning here in N Bucks. Glad your weekend was so enjoyable Mick
Do you use a local company for these “jollies”?
Today is DGS2’s 7th birthday - oh the excitement of birthdays when you are little.
Wishing you all a pleasant day!

Gosh, Mick! Your bus journey, on the good old number 12, would have included quite a few pubs! I live in Torquay and enjoy our excellent bus service.
At present, I’m in France as OH was 70 yesterday. We celebrated on Sunday with English friends who run a B & B at a château.

Morning All

It looks as if we’re going to have another lovely day. It was 18C in our front garden when we left yesterday for the coast. 14 though in Cromer! Posh fish and chips and a walk on the pier. Lovely.

Catch up day today and tea with an old friend this afternoon.

I’ve been looking at the horrendous fires in California. It seems an annual occurrence now. You seem to be surrounded Artols. Hopefully they’ll keep their distance and die down soon.

Good Morning all and to those who follow. Quite dark here in Fife just now but looks very damp out. Have a busy day today as many of you, taking DH's car into car first thing then meeting friend for coffee/catch up. Shopping in afternoon. Sounds as if you had a great time away Mick, why do other people's holidays sound so exciting? Hope you all have a pleasant day. Enjoy!

Good morning all from Northampton; looks damp out.
Glad you had a nice weekend, Mick. It's good to have a change of scenery.
Had a lovely evening at DGD 's birthday meal. She was mightily pleased with her presents, and the food was good, ( as was the wine!)
Off to club this morning, where the speaker is giving a talk about alpacas; it sounds as though she runs an alpaca trekking farm, wonder if she'll bring one in?
DS coming down this afternoon to look through LPs and old computer games before I get rid of them.
Off to see DGD this evening in a children's production of Macbeth - I understand she is playing the lead!
Have a nice day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a mild Essex. Clear sky outside so looks like a nice day. Shall take advantage of the weather and get some washing out to dry. Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick, Morning All. Sounds a busy break, mick, pleased you enjoyed it. Damp and draughty in our corner of Somerset. Medical day today. GP first thing then hospital this afternoon. Careful with your back gilly,, major pain when they go wrong. Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.
