Good morning from a gloriously sunny Birmingham. Housework this morning, and Tai Chi this afternoon. There is to be a community picnic in the park, too, so I shall go to that.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all. Bit grey again in Northampton, but it's not raining.

Wishing my lovely DD lots of luck as she does the Moonwalk, a 26 mile walk, in London tonight in aid of breast cancer. They walk in their decorated bras! DS's partner should have been doing it as well but she has had to pull out due to health reasons. She is going down as a volunteer helper instead. Their team is called the Northampton Nightowls.

Elder DGD coming for tea this afternoon. We are having burger and chips! A treat for me, as I rarely have a burger.

I remember the year when there were two mother's days, absent. Mothering Sunday here in March, and then on 31st March we flew out to Australia to live for a couple of years, and then had another Mothers Day in May. Didn't celebrate the Australian one though that year. Although I think the children made cards at school.

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Hope our own Marydoll returns today with better news about her visit to the specialist yesterday.

Morning Mick and All.

Light cloud here in South Bucks.

It is our annual Spring Fair in the park today. Always try to support local events. The local butcher sold delicious hot dogs one year, hope he returns as this will save me getting lunch.

Gearing up for the Tennis semi finals in Madrid this afternoon and evening.

Good morning everyone from a sunny South Manchester
?
What a beautiful start to the day. Our grandson (who was off school with a tummy bug on Wednesday and Thursday) went to cricket practice last night and grandad is going along to watch him play in an u7’s football mini tournament. They bounce straight back to robust good health at this age don’t they?

No plans for me until teatime when we go round to babysit him and his 2y old baby sister.

Hope everybody has a good Saturday, whether you have plans, or none. x

Good morning from a cold but sunny NE.
DH left the house at 6.30 for his appointment, I now have a couple of hours to myself.
I have all the family visiting tomorrow, except DD who lives abroad, so will spend day preparing.

Morning all!

North Leicestershire is dry but a little cloudy.

A trip into Leicester is on the cards. We need a new toaster and some new cushion inners - oh, the excitement!

I'd need a big sit down after that much beer Mick so enjoy the cycling.

Hope you have a super Mother's Day absent.

Please feel free to clean my windows too, beechnut. grin

Enjoy your Mother’s Day with your daughter absent

Good morning; it's evening where I am. Now we are in autumn, the days are not always dry, bright and sunny. However, today was good enough to pull up quite a lot of weeds, so the herb bed and vegetable bed, which will not be in a lot of use until the spring, are pretty tidy and I am feeling satisfied. There's a lot more work to do, but tomorrow is Mothers' Day here and I am anticipating a visit from my lovely daughter – so clean, not muddy clothes and gardening gloves.

Good Morning Everyone,
Have woken to a bit of a grey and misty start.
Had equal to 2 pints yesterday , some in 1/3rd options and a dark stout at 9.4%.
No beer now for awhile , today Bicester and Buckingham on the buses.
In Bicester Sainsburys on the Tu clothing side have some reduced bargains so will check.
Buckingham wise weather should be good, as last week on the flea market I spotted some maps , and hope they are still there today.
Apart from having a coffee and all day breakie in Buckingham around 12.
See what they has today, apart from the Giro cycle race in Italy stating today will be watching on Eurosport.
