Good morning,
It's a frosty but bright sunny morning here at the moment. I hope it warms up as much as yesterday, which was a beautiful Spring like day.
Sorry to hear about your friends funeral, Mick. Hope it goes as well as can be expected.
Sorry, too, to hear about your sisters scam, Harris. What a dreadful upset. I hope the bank help. There are some wicked people out there, I'm sad to say.
Brunette, many congratulations on your special birthday. flowers ??
Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning all from a brilliantly sunny Aberdeenshire.
I had one of those so called bank calls and when asked for card details, my reply was 'no, do you think I came down the Clyde in a banana skin, b****r off'. The caller hung up!
Garden jobs today and may even finish blitzing the shed, especially if it means a trip to the dump...so cathartic! I have evicted the wee moose that over wintered there.
Have a great day everyone.

Morning all and commiserations to those with sadness and worries. flowers
I am usually very abrupt with cold callers and was quite rude to the district nurse last week when she called asking for DH. blush. Oops - very apologetic!
Garden again today, after a good start yesterday - time to start building up my vitamin D again.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A bright, sunny morning in South Yorkshire but cold at the moment. We plan to do some work in the garden today when it warms up a bit. These scam calls are a real worry. We no longer answer our phone unless someone leaves a message and by and large, the scammers don’t. Sorry this happened to your sister, Harris. Happy birthday, Brunette! Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning all, hope all is well. It's a frosty one in South Notts. Will have to scrape the windscreen later before I go visiting.

I've mentioned before that I got a letter from a Chinese gentleman who claimed he worked for a Hong Kong bank. Apparently a customer with a similar unusual surname to mine had died intestate and they were trying to find somebody who might be heir to his vast fortune. All I had to do was phone the number at the top of the letter and give my bank details... I did not do it and am just as poor as before, but no poorer!!!

Good morning, lovely and bright in east London. I'm letting myself get distracted in all directions this morning, maybe as I'm waiting to hear from DD as she's been seeing the educational psychologist about GD. Need to get a few bits of shopping so that will be my walk (must avoid the charity bookshop, my stack of books is too high). Tennis at 8pm.

Good afternoon All.

( laptop problems ) A beautiful day and I know it's only February but that breeze is a bit cutting----fabulous wash-day though.

Did some early morning shopping and a bit of tidying up. Birthday card written for my soon to be 4 year old GGD and this is the start now to every month of the year with various Birthdays,etc----no wonder I'm broke.

Hope everyone has this lovely sunshine.

Sadly waiting at Geneva airport for a delayed flight back to the UK. The mountains look amazing and I wish I was staying here.

Good afternoon all from the Scottish Borders. Sunshine and blue skies here but blowing a gale. You can't have everything!
Happy birthday Brunette!!

Condolences to Mick.

Glasgow girls have a nice meet up.
I have an old pal staying so couldn't join you this time .

I had a fraud through PayPal once which gave me a fright but it was refunded eventually. You do need to be vigilant.

Good afternoon. Another bright and sunny day here. Think I might sit outside in the sun with a book and a coffee for an hour. Got to make the most of it.
