Good morning all. Bright and sunny in Northampton today; another day of housework planned, will be getting the hoover out shortly.

Yes Beechnut, we do have a beautiful Guildhall here, one of the jewels in the crown, along with Holy Sepulchre (the round church built by Simon de Senlis), All Saints church, the Sessions House, and of course the wonderful house whose interior was designed by Rennie Mackintosh. The main shopping street may be going to the dogs, but so many treasures all over the town, and so much history. Northampton castle held the trial of Thomas a Becket, and it is from here that he escaped to Canterbury. Sadly the remains of the castle were demolished in Victorian times to make way for the railway station.

On the mend I think now from my cold, may venture out tomorrow. And if it stays dry may get the lawn mower out at the weekend.

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Good morning all from a mild Aberdeenshire. It's slightly damp with high cloud so it could be a decent day later.
Hurrah! Finished one curtain yesterday so may attack the second one today...or may not if the garden beckons. The shed needs a good turn out. I think a wee moose has been feeding off the bird food all winter as there is seed everywhere.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone. Overcast and dismal is our weather at the moment, hoping it will brighten up as the day goes on. Treating myself to a visit to the hairdressers this afternoon for a bit of a trim and tidy up. Enjoy your day, whatever you are doing.

Good morning from Colchester. Started cold but will be quite warm by lunchtime with the sun trying it's best to peek out.
Been trying to sort out credit cards as Saga is closing theirs soon. Somehow I've been locked out of the online account and they will only speak to DH who is out...grrrr....
Off out to Wednesday coffee meetup now.

Good morning Mick, Anniebach and all x

Bright in S E Essex, have poorly GC here, waiting for the cleaners and then I need to do some food shopping. Might have a look at the M & S Valentines meal deal?

Keep safe and warm folks x

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Strangely warm but it can't be trusted. I fear a cold snap.
Industrious day ahead as I'm expecting friends to stay tomorrow for a few days.
Just had second quotes for joinery and garden work. Both were higher than the first! Who to choose?
I'll ask my "girls" at craft group. They always have an answer

Hope all is well with all of you. It's quite bright and the sunshine is peeping through in South Notts. Nothing in the diary today so I can be lazy apart from a few little jobs. Will change the bedclothes if/when puss gets off the bed. Hope your car gets sorted Harrigran, it's a nuisance when cars don't co-operate, isn't it?

Morning from County Durham. Cloudy but 11c and dry. Busy day food shopping for grandchildren’s tea. School run, tea, then beaver and cub run.

First time posting on this thread. Good morning from a beautiful sunny Geneva where I am staying with my partner in her appointment by the lake for a few days. Been for a walk along the lake side to the botanical gardens and marvelled at the view of Mont Blanc across the lake. Back to Yorkshire on Friday morning.

Good morning All x
Some heavy cloud but the sun is trying its best albeit a watery looking one. It's not too cold though.
Had to wait for a workman this morning, but he's now been and gone.
Tidying up mainly today but begrudge going too mad because workmen will be disrupting the place in a couple of weeks time so there'll be dust everywhere.

Hope everyone's day goes as planned.
