Good Morning Thursday

Good Evening All; very soggy here! one month's rain in one day. More to come tomorrow.
Just had a call from Son No.1 in Brisbane to give sad news that his daughter (18) now in London on holiday has had all her credit card skimmed of £1000. Devastated doesn't start to describe her state. Only been in the country since last Friday. She's receiving support from Michelle's daughter with whom she's staying before moving on to Germany next week and obviously all concerned are working on the problem; but as son Neil says, time and distance don't help. But what a rotten thing to happen, especially to a young girl away from home. Let's hope that something good eventuates!

Good morning from Malta where the weather is sunny and fairly warm. It is a public holiday today ( Republic Day) so not wise to venture out as everywhere will be packed.

Speaking of packing, I should be doing mine but I’m dithering about what to take so progress is very slow.

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Sorry, Rufus, didn’t see your post until I’d sent mine. How awful for your granddaughter to have such an upsetting experience. I do hope everything will work out for her so she can put it behind her and enjoy the rest of her holiday. It’s depressing how many crooks there are out there.

So sorry Rufus to hear of gd problem, I hope it all gets sorted soon. Its dry here here and a clear so in a while I am going out for a walk to blow away the cobwebs. Had a difficult day yesterday with a safeguarding meeting for my daughter which was 11 mile round trip followed by attendance at the Local Meeting to object to the huge extension our neighbour has submitted plans for. I am over joyed to to say that our objections were valid and upheld and her plans were unanimously rejected so we have won round one. So today its a day of nothing. Happy day all

Rufus2 that's devastating news from your son's daughter----I'm disgusted ! This is one lawless country and don't let anyone be kidded that things are the same as they were in the 50's. Idyllic my eye, you take your life in your hands every time you visit a town or city nowadays.

My GS got punched in the jaw last week when he told 3 big men off for battering a much smaller man------this was in Liverpool.

Far from a 'good morning' on the north coast of Cornwall
Blustery knock you off your feet winds or soaking wet from the rain.It is going to disrupt flights and sea crossings and not looking good either for the next few days .

Can't keep up with all you early birds! It's bright and sunny here in Cheshire. Just off to Keep Fit in the village.

Good morning all from a mild and beautifully sunny South Manchester. What busy bees a lot of you are - up and doing already! I’m with Anrol as I’m up super early in the summer but don’t get up in the winter until I’ve had more sleep. It’s one of the best pleasures about retirement in my opinion - sleeping until you’ve had enough. Such a treat!

How much more sleep Urmstongran ? Or should we rename you Rip van Winkle
