Good Morning Everyone,
Another bright dry and warm start this morning, here in Brackley.
Today will be a quiet day after yesterday.
Yesterday, I did notice on the flea market stall I frequent the stall holder had a chessboard c/w Chinese figures, with a price tag on of £45.
Final day of Giro today ,so will become a couch potato whilst watching , but in the town as well they have a soapbox derby plus HS2 are displaying as well.

Thanks all for your good wishes. My dentist went above and beyond today meeting me outside a cafe in my town (where she was meeting her mother for coffee) with a prescription, so I am knocking back the antibiotics AGAIN and she will try and fit me in this coming week for an extraction. Admittedly it all costs money but us well worth it.

Hope you can get some rest today Mary.

Good morning from Fuerteventura, Canary Islands where I have lived for the past 15 years in a small village 5 miles from the coast.
It is 29.5C at 11.30 so far this morning and will rise to possibly 34C so will have to stay inside when it reaches that temperature as the locals do.All goes very quiet in the afternoon as the siesta takes over.

Lovely island for a holiday with fabulous golden beaches and generally the temperature is between 22-25C except when the wind changes and brings hot air from Africa as it does now.

All the best of health and happiness to everyone.

Hello from Yorkshire, where it’s dull but warm. Lazy morning, but this afternoon we have a rehearsal for our mixed barbershop chorus....that’ll blow the cobwebs away! Sunshine is promised for later so I’m hoping to get a bit of gardening done, I love these light evenings!

Good morning all from sunnyhmm, cloudy & windy Devon. Had a lovely day yesterday at Buckfast Abbey Garden Fayre. Bought a few plants, still got to finish doing my baskets if it stays fine today. Such changeable weather, yesterday was sunny 22C, today it can't make it's mind up & only 16C

A very quick and late good morning from a warm but dull NE coast and Gillybob’s house where chaos reigns ! Little Evie is running the place at the minute ( she’s into everything ) and 2 of her big cousins have arrived . It’s a mad house !

Have a good Sunday everyone . I’m just about ready for bed ! x

A late Good morning from Stockport.
I lazed in my bed this morning drinking tea and playing with my new iPad.
The days are very long on ones own.
It spotted with rain briefly, then the sun made an effort, now it is raining again.
That full day I had planned in the garden now looks to be off.!!

If you knew me and gardening, you would realise just how ludicrous that statement is.?

Good morning all from a miserable and wet Glasgow. sad

Been up since the crack of dawn, as had wee granddaughter sleeping beside me. She slept until after 8am, which is unsual for her.
I think I had about 10 minutes sleep all night. OK, I'm exaggerating, it may have been twenty minutes! I woke up at one point to find a tiny toe in my ear! grin.

I'm having a very quiet day, apart from making Sunday lunch. The Scottish crumpets were a huge success yesterday, so I'm off to make another batch, as
my children will turn up, knowing DGD is here.

Nankate, I hope you get your tooth sorted ASAP! flowers

Grammaretto, if your weather is anything like ours, you may have problems with your outdoor lunch! What about an indoor picnic, with a blanket on the floor in your empty room. grin

Have a good day, everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All. It’s overcast in our corner of Somerset, rain forecast, who stole summer? Must sort the spare bedroom today, looks like a fairly well supported jumble sale. Nothing else planned for either of us. Hope Sunday is kind to everyone.

oldgaijin Sun 02-Jun-19 09:16:52

Good morning from a dreich, damp Aberdeenshire.....why can't we get two days the same? Finally cut the grass yesterday, edges done etc. and the whole garden looks tidier.
I know what I was doing exactly 66 years ago...watching the coronation on a 12 inch TV set. How times have changed.
Am going to a Prosecco afternoon tea later on.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from an overcast but mild NE.
All the family are visiting this afternoon and GD is staying as she has an inset day tomorrow.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Hope everyone has a good day x

Mapleleaf Sun 02-Jun-19 08:52:56

Good morning all,
An overcast morning now (brighter earlier). We are forecast rain today, but I hope it holds off.
Not a lot planned, maybe a trip to the garden centre later.
Opened the kitchen blinds to a lovely sight of a dozen young starlings feasting on the meal worms DH put out yesterday. They’d not spotted them yesterday (unusually), so we had the pleasure of watching a male blackbird gathering them up in his beak to take to his nest several times.
They’ve all been devoured now!
Hope you get that toothache sorted soon, NanKate.
Enjoy Sunday everyone. ?

Good Morning from a warm but cloudy Black Country

Had a none day yesterday! Woke up and felt dizzy and nauseous, which lasted all day. Couldn't eat and felt light headed if I got up. Seems to have cleared a bit now, but still feel very fragile.

I am off to a Warners Hotel with Mum tomorrow for 5 days, so the packing I was going to complete yesterday, I will have to do today.

Nfk Iceland is on my list of places to visit, but I know the cost can be prohibitive, so it may be a while. I am sure you had an amazing time.

Hope the tooth is sorted soon NanKate nothing worse that toothache.

Hope you all have a good Sunday/

Good morning All x
Not a bit like summer ! Obviously poured down during the night but didn't hear a thing ! A lot cooler with some heavy cloud and a watery-looking sun over the river.
Slept very deeply last night after having been awake since 4am yesterday------which is what usually happens, so thankful for the solid 8 hours !

Well I needn't bother about watering the neighbour's plants ! What a miserable day, 19 degrees my eye !
Nothing much doing today apart from Sunday lunch and rustle up an orange pudding-----quick, easy and tasty.
It's next weekend when I'll be meeting myself coming back with family's visit from Oz. This is the calm before the storm.

Hope everyone has a calm and peaceful day.

Good morning from east London, bright and warm already. Had a good day yesterday. My tennis partner and I won the club 2018 (that is the right year) mixed doubles final then last night, went to a fantastic dance performance with DP. It was described as a fusion of street dance and ballet but thankfully I didn’t let that put me off. So today will be quiet until we pick up GD to take her home. She will not be happy as it’s school tomorrow. Have a good day.

Grammaretto Sun 02-Jun-19 08:26:21

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Summer was yesterday. It's not looking too promising out there.
I have 10 people for lunch and no room ready to seat them as we've cleared it ready for its new floor. If it was warm enough they could sit outside. Wish me luck!
Have a nice day everyone. Toothache free if possible.

Greyduster Sun 02-Jun-19 08:22:23

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s rather muggy and grey in South Yorkshire today and we have no plans. We may go for a look around the garden centre.
Cheer up, NfK - it’s only money! Hope you can get the tooth sorted soon, NanKate. Have a good day folks.

BlueSapphire Sun 02-Jun-19 08:20:22

Good morning all from a cloudy Northampton. What a lovely day yesterday! Sat in the garden with the cats in the afternoon and enjoyed the sunshine ?!

Nothing planned for today except hoping to get some gardening done, mainly weeding, tying in the roses and general tidying up.

Sun is now trying to come out!

teabagwoman Sun 02-Jun-19 08:19:39

Northampton is cloudy and a bit breezy at the moment. Spotted a patch of ground elder in the garden so will have to try and get it under control. Bit of a thankless task as it’s coming .under the fence from next door. Nice family but no time for doing their garden. Have a good day everyone.

Auntieflo Sun 02-Jun-19 08:10:33

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all. It's going to be another hot one again today, so not a lot will get done. DD and SIL came yesterday, and his car does fit into our garage, just. (It may require a new electric door grin, or at least I think so). We shall see.
Birds are singing their hearts out, and I may have breakfast in the garden, before taking a chap to Church with us.
Have a good day one and all.

Justme67 Sun 02-Jun-19 08:10:31

Good morning to you all, hazy sunshine here which is becoming the norm these days Not a lot planned, might go to bowls with a friend, just to meet up with folk, other than that a day in the garden, enjoying the birds. Must remember that I cannot lift heavy pots, although I don't know how heavy they are until I try to lift them! Enjoy your days.

kittylester Sun 02-Jun-19 07:49:25

Morning all from a warm and sticky ish north Leicestershire.

We are going to a pub in the village which has been refurbished and reopened this weekend. Then the garden centre again!!

I hope your tooth gets sorted quickly kate.

NfkDumpling Sun 02-Jun-19 07:48:50

Morning All

Just starting to cloud over a bit here in the north of Norfolk.

Just back from a weeks fantastic break driving around Iceland - now the dread of wondering how big the credit card bill will be. All those noughts, I gave up trying to figure out how much things cost in UK terms!

Hopefully the forecast rain will hold off until this evening here as it’s our towns Open Gardens and I’m helping.

Nannytopsy Sun 02-Jun-19 07:42:00

Morning all! Overcast but bright in Leicester and a visit to the tip is in order. We have about six weeks until we move ...
