Dull & cool in Leeds and we have come to Doncaster Dome with two of our grandchildren for them to skate then swim with hopefully a decent lunch in the middle.
Nice bar to have a coffee in so we are happy with our kindles.

Marydoll, I was born and brought up in Ardrossan, which is Saltcoats's 'twin'. We used to swim at the Saltcoats outdoor pool as soon as the water temperature reached 56F. Most of my friends were in Saltcoats.

oldgaijin, we used to live in Troon!
We are off to Saltcoats, reliving our childhood holidays (at least it's not raining) and going to stock up in the old fashioned baker's.

Good morning everyone from a sunny but windy Malaga. We are planning to go out for a nice long walk along the paseo this afternoon - just follow our noses!

Happy Spanish birthday DoraMarr and CherylMoon bet you are on Cloud 9! What inspiration for you dragonfly.

Hope your virus bugs clear off soon EV and gillybob.

Hope we all enjoy a good Wednesday whatever our plans or none. x

Good morning all from a very white Aberdeenshire. No, not snow but a thick sea haar has rolled in from the estuary. The leaflets trees look very eerie in the mist.
The mutt is still sulking after yesterday's bath...I'll take him for a run in the woods to cheer him up. Haircut this afternoon (for me!) and ceramics class this evening.
Marydoll, enjoy those pies...how far doon the watter will you go? My co grannie lives in Troon, which is a bonny wee town. Cheryl, sending you champagne!. Have a great day everyone.

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all. CherylMoon, what great news about your final treatment.
Well done.
It is sunny here, but slightly chilly. I bought 6 x fritilleria plants yesterday, so they will be planted out later. They were from Waitrose, and reduced right down in price, so couldn't resist them.
I had an appointment with a Macmillan nurse yesterday, just a chat really, and she took time with me, which was so nice. I will have to have a mammogram later on, but am at the tail end of my treatment now.
DH is just starting on his treatment road.
Have a good day, and to all those feeling poorly flowers

Good morning Mick and All.

A big welcome Cheryl I don’t think I have seen you here before. You will find we are a friendly, caring bunch on this thread. So pleased about your news.

Happy birthday ? Dora enjoy the sunshine on your hols.

Gilly do try homemade hot lemon, honey, ginger plus a couple of paracetamol for your poor throat.

Gearing up food wise for the arrival next week of our DGSs for a 6 day stay ?

dragonfly46 Wed 10-Apr-19 08:30:02

Good morning, as Nannytopsy said the clouds are breaking in Leicestershire.

Happy Birthday Dora.
Good news Cheryl can’t wait to get to that stage.
Sorry you are unwell gilly hope you feel better soon.

Walking this morning if I feel well enough. Hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning everyone. Happy birthday Dora! wineflowers Best wishes Cheryl!flowerswine

My cold was at it's worst last night (I hope) - Fitbit tells me I've had 4 hours 29 minutes sleep, but it feels like even less. So no archery, the plan today is to empty barrel pond with two goldfish in, clean it out and put in fresh water. It's looking very green and slimy after the winter. Hope my energy holds up for long enough. Good luck with the clues Mick.

Good morning from sunny Colchester. We are off to visit family on the south coast and hope that we can have a walk on the beach.

Mythbirtthedragon Wed 10-Apr-19 08:18:16

Good morning from east London. Looking bright outside at the moment. GD woke grumpy but has now picked up - claimed she’d been trapped in her bed by the pillow. Off to tennis this morning, plan at some point to drop a cake off to a former colleague I haven’t seen for a while and then pack for my trip tomorrow.

Cheryl - big YAY; you’ll be skipping.

Blue sky with fluffy clouds here in Letchworth this morning brings the hopeful promise of a sunny day. Off to our local library this morning for an historical talk then home to mow the front lawn, i did the back and side yesterday evening.Planning on getting down on my knees to do some much needed weeding too if my aches and pains allow.Its such a shame to waste any good weather. Good luck to Cheryl hope all goes well for you.

DoraMarr Wed 10-Apr-19 08:07:06

Good morning from rainy San Sebastián. I’ve had my morning tea watching some hardy souls swimming in the sea below my balcony. What a beautiful place to wake up in on my birthday!

Good morning all.

Yes ! sunshine at last here in Kent. It is windy and not too warm though.
Driving DH to and from gardening jobs, inbetween which I will be doing housework and watching some catch up TV as I have the house to myself Wednesdays.
Cheryl brilliant news smile
Have a good day everyone.

Morning All

Overcast and chilly here in the north of Norfolk.

Nothing planned for today but I think I must stir myself to do some housework. The house is looking a little messy.
