Morning All

Happy Birthday farview! ??

Its still grey here and very soggy underfoot, but the sky is brightening in the east and the clouds moving westwards so I’m going to be optimistic and hang the washing out.

We’re going to bring the caravan home today to give it a clean and give it a check over. May even go away for a couple of days if the weather warms up. It’s lovely being retired and not tied to the fight to book holidays from work.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Guess what! It’s raining again in South Yorkshire. I have a hospital appointment this morning. It will take longer to get there than the appointment will take! Happy birthday, farview! Have a good day folks.

Good morning and and still we are getting rain. This is awful.
We need a dove and an olive branch twig. If I have the story right.

Good Morning from S Welsh coast. We had a dry day yesterday though it was cold. It rained overnight and it is gloweringly cloudy now.

Physiotherapy appointment at local hospital at 11.30 and may stop for coffee somewhere afterwards.
Have a lovely day farview.

Good Morning from yet another rainy day in the Black Country.

Hair appointment this afternoon, and as my hairdresser is near Mum's will pop over to her house first, and we will go to the lovely village my daughter lives in for a pub lunch.

Happy Birthday farview flowers I can understand how you feel, as I will be 66 in September! I hope you have a lovely day.

And the Lord blessed all with a little more rain ...
Good morning from a wet Leicester. The cat came and woke us soaked to the skin at silly o’clock.
Glad to hear next week might be a bit drier as we get the granddog tomorrow for two weeks.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from the Scottish Borders . It isn't actually raining but yesterday a fire engine was pumping water from the cellars of the nearby pub.
I went to the auction house with my friend. It's fun as long as you just watch others spending and don't join in.
Happy birthday farview . What a lot of DGC to keep you young.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny !!!!!! Essex by the sea. Lovely morning today and I have been awake since 03.30 ?? I sometimes wake early and cannot get back to sleep. I have read a big chunk of a good book.
I'm up, showered and had breakfast. We have an electrician coming at 8 to renew all the lighting in the communal areas in the block of flats where we live. DH is in France so I hope the electrician knows what he is doing as I haven't a clue.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from a drippy North Leicestershire.

Have a lovely day farview.

Going to help at a Carer's event today - pushing the Alzheimer's carers courses. Then out for a meal and to a concert this evening.

Enjoy your days everyone.

Good Morning all and Happy Birthday farview.

Wet and grey on Severnside. I’m back home after spending a few nights with DD and SiL.

Not much planned today apart from posting mail and then taking a card to my friend.

Have a good day everyone ?

Morning Mick and all, sitting here waiting for DGC to turn, unexpected as don’t usually have them Fridays, SIL playing golf and DD has had to go into work. Farview know how you feel I had the same feelings back in March but it passes but do take care of your health as my beautiful cousin, same age as me died suddenly and it made me feel very vulnerable. Anyway enough of that, the rain is not falling and the sun is trying to shine so make the most of the day everyone..

Morning Mick and all. Deary me! Another wet morning in Cheshire. I knew before I looked out, as I heard it battering on the skylights. Should be meeting my sister today in Knutsford, so hope it brightens up. Tomorrow's forecast is better and next week is going to be sunny and warm with temps in the 20s! Yeah! Flaming June is on the way.

Hope the pain is under control Harrigran, whatever the cause. Take care of yourself. xx

Good morning Mick, harrigran and everyone. It’s another very hot day in Malta although it’s still early. Just put the rubbish out (in my nightie shock) and it’s already heating up.

Yesterday’s plans went awry due to my friend being called to the hospital to talk to the occupational therapists about her husband. Instead, I went with another friend to visit a lovely 89 year old lady who is in a care home. She was a long time friend of my mum and it is sad to see her now. She can barely see or hear, yet her mind is perfectly fine.

Hope you all have a good day whatever you are doing.sunshine

Good morning Michael and all to come. Grey and damp here in the NE.
I am sitting in the kitchen waiting for pain killers to work then I will go back to bed for a while.
Went shopping yesterday but spent more time in traffic jams than in the shops.
