Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking grey at the moment in Brackley but less cold, hope it gets warmer soon.
My usual day to Buckingham and Bicester using bus services.
Last Saturday , I was in my usual café in Buckingham and was surprised to hear , with a glance as well with someone of the same surname as mine, mind there are distant relative's who live their who I have never met.

Good morning everyone: I hope you all have a lovely day.
I'm going out to lunch in town with friends, and then do some shopping which I love. On of my friends grand children is getting married, and I'm using that as an excuse to buy a new outfit.

Good morning from east London, where it’s a bright but not too chilly start. Windows are all closed as the speed pillow outside is being replaced with a speed bump - long time since our road was this (traffic) quiet as it’s partly blocked off. Starting to pack for our trip to Northumberland today, DD and GD are coming with us so hope to get out and about with them in the next few days. Have a good day.

Morning all from an overcast South Notts. Expect a visit from sister later. Meanwhile a bit of ironing after yesterdays pile of laundry and a few odd jobs, then feet up.

Hope all is well.

Good morning from an overcast but brightening Colchester. It warmed up nicely yesterday hoping for the same again.
Into town for lunch with family as it's the school holidays.

Morning All from a much improved Co Sligo , we battled the winds out and about , first the girls had a fun morning making Easter crowns

Good morning.

It's still overcast here in South Yorkshire, but it's brightening so I'm hopeful that the sun will break through a bit.

Going out for lunch with a friend today. Before I go, I've got some ripe bananas to make into a banana loaf, as I hate waste so don't want to throw them out.

Hope you all have a decent day. ?

Good morning from a cloudy Perthshire.

Visit to Perth today. First stop M&S food hall then garden centre to continue my hunt for white periwinkle.

When our two GDs were smaller Marydoll I would let them take some sunflower seeds from the bird food bag and they planted them in their chosen spots. Youngest GD would measure their progress in amazement as they finished up taller than her. Hope your GD has fun watching the progress of what she has planted

Good luck for positive results re your kidney function and scan oldgaijin. The mutt will be happy with his rightful walking companion where she should be?

Woohoo to a long weekend Gilly. Big plus with good weather being forecast???

OMG I didn’t know about Notre Dame Greyduster . Truly shocking ! I didn’t see any news last night .

Greyduster Tue 16-Apr-19 08:17:49

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Cloudy and cool in South Yorkshire. A cleaning the kitchen day today, so not going far. I have just been listening to the organist at Notre Dame speaking on the radio. He sounded so completely lost I wanted to cry for him. Have a good day folks.

Morning Mick, morning All from a very wet corner of Somerset. Our two lodgers are still sleeping. Fire extinguisher is ready for the baking promised for this morning, goodness knows what this afternoon. Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.

Good morning from an overcast but brightening NE coast. Haven’t ventured outdoors yet but it feels like it might be a bit warmer than yesterday which was freezing.

I have wheezed and coughed all night long (surprised the children all slept through it to be honest) with no sign of it getting any better.

I’m so glad you have a nice oncologist oldgaijin it really does make a difference if they have a kind manner. I sincerely hope your kidney function tests come back favourable and you are able to have more treatment.

Oh gaga I was sure you would have had a GP appointment by now. I hope your eye really is getting better !

We did home made Easter cards last week too Susan56 (oh dear the dreaded glue and scissors) and the girls have got little polystyrene Easter eggs to decorate later today. DH took DGD2 to Asda last night for a couple of emergencies and they came back with..... Easter eggs, the new Mary Poppins dvd, polystyrene Easter eggs, a fluffy bunny..........

I hope it warms up a bit so I can get them all out later. Roll on Thursday Harris27 I just love a l.....o.....n......g weekend, it’s bliss.

Have a good Tuesday everyone x

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all from an overcast bit of Berks. NotaGran55, we haven't got any sun here!
Not much to do this morning, except a bit of ironing,then volunteering this afternoon. Haircut tomorrow, and think about what to pack for next week away. I wish I had a packing fairy.
Have a good day one and all.

Marydoll Tue 16-Apr-19 07:52:41

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow.

A supermarket shop this morning and then pick up our DGD from nursery at lunchtime.

We have seeds for her to plant, so hopefully we will get outside for a time.
She planted seeds last week and was so excited to see one of dozens has germinated. We have no idea what it is, as she mixed up the seeds despite my best efforts to keep them apart! ?

Grammaretto , I keep meaning to wish you a happy anniversary. ???

Enjoy your day everyone.

Susan56 Tue 16-Apr-19 07:49:44

Good morning,overcast in Shropshire today.
We are doing last minute food shopping and preparation before the first visitors arrive tomorrow.
Oldgaijin,glad you have a good oncologist and hope your treatment progresses as planned.
Dragonfly,we tried home made Easter cards with little B last week,he is 1!We painted his hands and feet,then printed them.The hands were made into chicks and the feet rabbits.DD and I thought they were quite successful until I heard DH explaining to his mother ‘it’s a rabbit mum,they painted his foot and then drew on it,no it’s definitely a rabbit’!

Good morning to you all, overcast here, but always hopeful that the sun will shine later on. Out for coffee morning with my kind neighbour, then home again for the usual nap. Gaga a couple of years ago I had a sore eye not sure that it is the same soreness as yours, had hospital treatment, and then the lovely young doctor told me that it does no harm to gently massage the eye with warm water and a face cleaner pad or cotton wool. I do this on a regular basis, and although the eye is sometimes a little sore, it never gets really bad again, might be worth a try. Off for my cup of tea, enjoy your days.

Good Morning from a dull and windy Fife. It looks rather cold out too. Have DGS's today as DD has a funeral to attend in the city. Not sure what the day will bring but one thing it won't be a quite one smile. Got it wrong yesterday schools still off! Hoping today is good for everyone.

Harris27 Tue 16-Apr-19 07:42:15

Old morning from still cold NE. Said its going to warm up for weekend so it better hurry up! Work today only three days to go then long weekend!! Had nice day off yesterday though caught up with friends and ate cake! Fab! Good day to all!!!

NotAGran55 Tue 16-Apr-19 07:25:46

Good morning from bright Berkshire . My younger sister is getting married soon and we are having a day out in Oxford looking for ( more ) shoes . And eating cake ?.

harrigran Tue 16-Apr-19 07:20:20

Good morning from an overcast NE.
DH has had his hospital appointment changed from 8am to this afternoon, I am pleased as city traffic and rush hour is horrible.
I will do some tidying up in GD's bedroom and bathroom.

Good Morning Mick and everyone. It rained heavily here on S Welsh coast last night and it is still damp now, though forecast is better for later.
DS and DiL are in Nepal for two weeks so we are dog sitting.

Glad your oncologist was pleasant and explained everything * Oldgajin* makes all the difference.
Have a good day whatever you're doing.

Urmstongran Tue 16-Apr-19 07:13:34

Good morning everyone from a sunny Malaga. The Mediterranean is blue and sparkling and the parakeets are chattering in the trees already. I have a pedicure booked at the salon downstairs late morning but no other plans as such today.

Hope everybody has a good Tuesday whatever your plans or none. x

dragonfly46 Tue 16-Apr-19 07:10:58

Good morning from Leicestershire. Lino printing didn’t go too well last night! None of my friends will be getting a card with a lovely Easter ?!
Not much planned for today except coffee in town.
Pleased you have a nice oncologist * oldgaijin* it makes a difference if they are kind.

Gagagran Tue 16-Apr-19 07:06:31

Morning all. Looks overcast here on the south coast and the forecast is for showers. The garden will be pleased.

Couldn't get a GP appointment re my eye but it is a bit better so fingers are crossed the improvement continues.

Not a lot on the agenda today but something will turn up - it always does.

Hope the day is kind to everyone. sunshine
