Good morning from a grey'ish Aberdeenshire, but the sun is appearing and looks to be a decent day. The mutt and I are off to the woods again...I would vary our walks but he would miss all his new chums.
Think it should be a gardening day but it could be a greenhouse pottering day.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from a bright and sunny South Notts. Will have my usual lazy day today with the crossword, though I may rouse myself to go for a walk. My hip's playing up a bit and too much sitting doesn't help. OTOH it's probably not a good idea to overdo it either. Good wishes to all.

Good morning...

from sunny Kent.
The laundry is on, and will be on the line soon. DH will be cooking brunch when he gets back from town. This afternoon I must do some admin.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning from a grey S Welsh Coast, hope it btightens up.
* Gilly* my grandfather hailed from Sunderland, when our DC were little they pronounced "rain" with a distinct Geordie accent - as my mother would say, throwbacks.
Glad your husband is better NFK

Good morning all x

Blue sky here in SE Essex, lovely to wake up in my own bed this morning- fabulous holiday, but “there is no place like home”

Off to AC’s later, for “Mother’s Day” , 3 AC, wives, 1 boyfriend and 4 GC, will be a fun afternoon/evening. They decided a few years ago that my Mother’s Day is on the Saturday so that they can celebrate with their wives on Sunday- that way we all have “a special day”

Keep safe and have a lovely day x

Kalu, it's called Pretty Little Things and it's on South Street.
I always mix up the two streets.
Enjoy!

Good morning everyone from a really bright and sunny ?Northampton.

Out to a Well-being exhibition this morning which two friends are involved with.

Then DD picking me up later for dinner at hers, it will be lovely not to cook!

Hope the day goes well for all.

Morning Michael, Annie and all. Have you ventured out on Fred yet Annie? Hope the therapy is doung some good.
Bright sunshine outside and we are off to our usual Sat. morning coffee meet up with friends, and to take an embroidery, that I finished yesterday, in to a friend, for her new GS.
Wondering whether to buy crumble mix for tomorrow’s pud shock or stir my stumps and make it smile.
My hip has been really painful for 10 days or so, but after reading all the no-nos about Ibrobrufen, I’ll stick to the paracetamol.
Good news about your DH NFKdumpling, and also wondering how Luckygirl and her DH are getting on.
Hope you all have a good weekend.

I am very anti Ibuprofen as a long term treatment , but as a short term treatment for acute pain it is hard to beat and will not do harm if you take it with food

Good morning All x
It doesn't know what to do here, weatherwise, slightly dull but doesn't feel too cold.
I arose quite early listening to the many birdsongs going on and it was so soothing that I nodded off. Anyway, nothing on the agenda so far but I have to stay put for a " delivery ".

GGC are all away for a week on their usual caravan holiday. D has their little pug dog with her own Pyrenean/Bernese dog and there's fun and games-------I bet there is !

I'll be making a cake later for tomorrow, possibly a lemon drizzle as I notice I have a couple of nice lemons in the fruit dish and a pkt of icing sugar since Christmas ( should be okay )

Hope everyone's day is enjoyable though sad for those who've suffered losses.

Have you ventured out on Fred yet Annie?
Auntieflo: After many weeks of very warm/hot dry weather my brand new red electric scooter was delivered on Wednesday and christened "Freda", but would you believe, here in Melbourne the weather immediately turned to Winter; even had a white carpet of hail today! As Rodney Trotter would say "just my luck"; we badly need rain, but not in the frozen form! sad
Now that your Spring has sprung with promise of warm weather (?) I'm sure Annie will soon be back in the saddle; I wish her well! smile
