Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , but its dry with a little bit of a chill this morning.
In about 30 minutes it should be twilight, but still very much a spring feel weather wise here in brackley.
My usual Thursday out, using the buses , with good connections to Buckingham and Bicester, and coffee cafes in those towns.

So true, Maw, but I have put 3lb on since Christmas.....

Urmstongran Thu 21-Feb-19 12:47:09

So true Maw ?

MawBroon wink
That is very true. And the clouts hide a multitude......

MawBroon Thu 21-Feb-19 10:37:43

Trouble with casting clouts, is that last year’s lighter clothes have yet again shrunk in the wardrobe ???grin

Nanabanana1 Thu 21-Feb-19 10:08:51

Thank you all for the lovely flowers xx

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Not quite spring yet but I forget and keep casting cloots.
Just waved off the family so rather sad.
Have a great day everyone.

Good morning all from a grey mild Co Armagh .
Michael I envy you the bus service you enjoy , we have about 4 buses a day here , resulting no one using them cos they are not useful times . Bus to one town is 9.30 , bus back 1... next 6.0 , more frequent would be better so we can be flexible

That’s very good news, oldgaijin.
flowers, Nannabana1.
To all others feeling under the weather, I hope you soon feel better.

Good morning Mick and all x

Grey in my part of SE Essex, enjoying the peace and quiet before Granny duty, 3 GC here till Saturday afternoon, I feel exhausted at the thought!!!

Sar53, sorry to hear you are poorly, stay on that sofa and hopefully you will be on the road to recovery.

Dragonfly, I have had a hot water tap for 9 years do not know how I lived without it!!!

Keep safe folks x

Good Morning All. The grandsons have gone home.

I am no longer sitting in my living room with two little boys looking at me still half asleep.
That still sleepy look is quite funny to watch. I have dispensed porage made with soya milk , wheetabix . And shredded wheat. Then you see the little ones start to actually begin to talk to you. smile

A late good morning from the NE coast where we have a beautiful sunny morning.

Have a good day everyone .

EllanVannin Thu 21-Feb-19 08:29:18

Good morning All x
Signs of a decent day, so quiet but for the birdsong---beautiful. You can certainly feel the milder weather approaching, what a treat. The Mersey is like a millpond.

Thoroughly enjoyed my few hours yesterday with D and step-daughter, we had a good laugh with an enjoyable meal-----wish it was every day.

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny Essex by the sea. I got home yesterday in about an hour and twenty minutes so not too bad. This virus is really wiping me out, nearly two weeks now and no signs of going away.
Have to take my car in to have a small repair carried out. Car verses pillar in the local shopping centre . I am so annoyed with myself !!! DH will follow in his car to bring me back. I then need to go and do some food shopping, DH needs to go to work in London. This afternoon I mean to do nothing but curl up on the sofa.
Have a good day everyone.

Brunette10 Thu 21-Feb-19 08:17:15

Good Morning from a dull and damp Fife, however it won’t matter as I won’t be out the door again today. This awful cold and sore throat has really floored me. Find it difficult to sit still and do nothing but I’ll have to try hard. I know this will go away eventually so I count myself lucky. Hope the day is good to everyone.

Mythbirtthedragon Thu 21-Feb-19 08:13:10

Good morning, early post for me. Dull in east London so far. Off to help at local food bank shortly (my first time) then lunch with the family and hopefully a walk in the woods after. Have a good day.

cornergran Thu 21-Feb-19 08:11:58

Morning Mick, morning All from a dry, cloudy corner of Somerset. Need to restore order after yesterday’s happy family day then may carry on with some general organising. With luck Mr C will restore the shine to our very dirty car. Hope Thursday is kind to everyone.

NanKate Thu 21-Feb-19 08:07:34

Morning Mick and All.

Light clouds in South Bucks.

Preparing to take all but the kitchen sink to our DS and DGSs tomorrow for a long weekend, plus all the food. I would love to pack light but DH takes the approach of taking things ‘just in case’ ?

I wish our DGSs lived close to you Greyduster as ours are both turbo powered. They could chase around and wear each other out, instead of us !

Nanab ?

Have a lovely lunch Kitty.

Good morning all, it's a bit grey here in Glasgow, but 12 degrees, so I'm not complaining.
I was woken in the early hours by a message from my friend, complete with a picture of her new wee grandson. He is gorgeous.
Bits and bobs to do today, before we pick up DGD at nursery.
Her mum is on a late tonight, so I suspect my children will be popping in to see her, (and looking to be be fed!)
Nanabanana1, flowers
oldgaijin, glad you got good news yesterday.
Enjoy your day, everyone.

NannyJan53 Thu 21-Feb-19 07:56:22

Good morning from a mild but cloudy Black Country.

A walk this morning with my U3A walking group, then we usually have a coffee afterwards.

Nanabanana1 my heart goes out to you flowers enjoy your day with your lovely grandchildren.

Willow10 Thu 21-Feb-19 07:43:22

Good morning all. The birds are very vocal in E. Northants this morning! Hoping for a really nice day as I'm picking up granddaughter and her two children to go the the local lakes and adventure park. I'm very envious of those of you with views of the sea! Enjoy a good Thursday everyone.

Mapleleaf Thu 21-Feb-19 07:35:39

Good morning,
Yes, it’s a beautifull sunrise, isn’t it, Greyduster?
I’m glad it’s a fine day as I’ve got to take my car to the garage for it’s service and MOT this morning and then walk home. It’s over a mile, so better done in dry weather!
Going out for a meal tonight so looking forward to that.
Hope you have a decent day. ?
