Oops .....a little bit of that sun ☀️ on me? Not in my new .

Good morning from a miserable, grey and wet NE coast where the fog horn has been sounding all night long.

Oh what I wouldn’t give to feel a little bit of that sun in my new Bellasnana I have never been to Malta (no surprise really as I haven’t been many places) but my mum and dad visited quite often and loved it.

I do hope they soon get to the bottom of your problems Marydoll you must be worn out .

I sorted a few summer bits out a couple of weeks ago Harris27 and put all my winter jumpers away in one of those vacuum bags. I think I might be swapping them back around if this weather continues much longer.

Anyway, I’m off to “that place” in about an hour, no school runs today. Then the dreaded hairdresser at tea time, it’s like torture sitting in that chair facing a mirror but needs must.

Have a good Thursday everyone x

Good morning everyone from an overcast Malaga which is a surprise as yesterday was especially hot. We spent the afternoon on the marina at Benalmadena and enjoyed a liquid lunch.

No plans today. I shall read my book I think.

Glad to hear you may have a diagnosis soon Marydoll and your doctors will know how to treat your condition. You’ve had a rollercoaster few weeks.

I hope Thursday is good to us all whether we have plans or (like me) none. x

Good Morning from another rainy day in the Black Country. It didn't stop all day yesterday, and driving back from Lichfield it was torrential at times.

Mum and I had a lovely hour Skyping my Niece in Australia, as she is out there working for 18 months. It was quite funny at first as Mum kept saying to me 'tell her about.....' I said she can hear you the same as me smile

Today I am finishing sorting out all I need to take for our upcoming holiday in Lindos, buy currency etc.

Sounds like a bit of a stressful day for you Marydoll I hope you have a more relaxing day today.

Morning All

Still, grey and decidedly soggy here in the north of Norfolk.

Off to stand in a darkened room at our local NT pile today. Love that house. It always leaves me feeling calm and makes everything right with the world.

Happy Thursday from a very wet nothing east. Where has our summer gone? Just moved all my summer clothes back in the wardrobe and nit a chance to wear any of them!!! Back to work this morning and children high as kites as the rain has stopped play!! Good day to all x

Good morning; very wet here again in Northampton.

A good day out yesterday, lunch and shopping with a friend. I have known her since 1972 when we were teaching at the same school. Luckily the rain held off. I got a lovely new dress and cardigan, which will do very nicely for my cruise.

Awaiting a Sainsbury's delivery later this morning, and then this afternoon over to DD's as she is hosting tonight's meeting of our wine club.

Enjoy the day, despite the rain!

Morning Mick and everyone. What a lovely thought Bluebell thank you for thinking of cheering us up. Marydoll The positive thing to come out of a very stressful day is that the medics think they've found the problem. That's good.

Painting for me this morning and can't think what I want to paint. Finished one I've been working on for weeks, but a man has joined the group who is very talented and I'm hoping to learn from his technique today.

Man coming to clean the oven later, then everywhere is clean. Sad woman that I am, that will make me happy!

Hope no one is in the flood zones.

Good morning All. The skies are still very grey here but the rain has let up for a while.

Marydoll Thu 13-Jun-19 07:01:48

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, rain is forecast later and the sky in the distance is ominously dark.

I'm pretty tired today after my CT angiogram yesterday. The traffic was horrendous and the slip road to the hospital was closed, meaning a stressful detour with lots of temporary traffic lights. The doctor couldn't believe how high my BP was! ☹
The good news is I do not need any surgery, but need the angiogram with the dye and some more investigations in a few months time, as they now think they know what the problem is.

I plan to take it easy today until we pick up "Hurricane H", from nursery later. Taking up the hem on my husband's new trousers is also on the agenda, a job I hate.

Bellasnana, I wish I was in Malta at the moment, I don't care how hot sunshine it is! I would love to be well enough to go back for a visit. I'm longing to see Gozo again.

Enjoy your soggy Thursday all! Just think, it's good for the lawn! grin

Morning everyone.
Dry with patches of blue sky in Kent. We had an entertaining half hour last night watching the 4 fox cubs chasing each other around our garden.
Eye clinic this morning and some admin later.
Have a good day.

BlueBelle Thu 13-Jun-19 06:48:51

I just wanted to send you a little happiness from my garden on a grey day

Beechnut Thu 13-Jun-19 06:42:50

Yesterday we drove through Cockadilly.

(I can’t find the funny place name thread)

Bellasnana Thu 13-Jun-19 06:34:47

Good morning Mick and all. I hardly dare mention the weather here in Malta, but it is hot and sunny. Maybe too hot for some, but I love it.

Meeting a friend for coffee this morning. Her husband is in hospital yet again. He suffers from COPD, and the doctors have really done all they can. I’m so worried about my friend because she practically lives at the hospital, and I know she isn’t eating properly.

Hope you all have a good day and stay dry! ☀️

Beechnut Thu 13-Jun-19 06:22:29

Good Morning all.
Raining and grey on the other side.
I’m going home later and will do stop off and do my shopping on the way.

Hope you all have a lovely day even though it’s miserable outside ?
