Good Morning Sunday

Good morning from a bright and sunny North Leicestershire (which is clouding over as I type!)

I shall also be holding the bottom of a ladder, nfk, as we try to get rid of next doors overhanging branches. They have a ceanothus that is about 15' high.

Another grey morning in SE Essex, a couple of “blue spots” in the distance.

Nothing planned for today, AC popping in to visit Mr.Gravy and his favourite roast beef for dinner!!

Keep dry and happy Father’s Day ?

Gabriella, you are forgiven! My wee DIL is very fragile at the moment and I'm trying my best to keep her on an even keel, so I'm biting my tongue for now. (Very difficult for a fiery redhead like me!)

Morning everyone.

It's a bright start in Kent but not actually sunny.
Ellan can I have some fresh mint please, we have leg of lamb as a father's day treat for DH.
Mick I'd love to see your old map having lived in Kent all my life. Not in 1937 I might add.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mike and all funny morning in Kent overcast no rain for once the grass is still very wet though. Restful day today pottering around and a general tidy up as you do. Enjoy your day everyone

Mick, I love looking at maps. A colleague of mine served in Berlin with the British army and loaned my husband maps of Berlin, before the wall came down.
It was absolutely fascinating looking at them and comparing the maps to ones of modern Berlin.
I always loved teaching my pupils map reading.

Another grey day here in Godalming after a somewhat damp night.
No run as it's my 'day off ' so I slept for a good 9 hours.
Brekkie then I may sort out clothes to take to charity shop tomorrow, something I keep putting off.
Lucky me, having dinner with oldest son later as he's working in London area till Wednesday. Haven't seen him for 8 months so it will be a very huggy meeting.
Marydoll forgive me for being outspoken but shouldn't your Dil stay to do the washing herself? She knows how unwell you are. I won't say more but really! Take care.
To everyone, busy or not I hope the sun shines for you and the weekend ends on a good note.

Good Morning all from a cloudy S Welsh coast.
Nothing planned here except a roast pork dinner later.

A Happy Father's Day, and remembering my lovely Dad and recently deceased Fil.

The map , on the local bit of no problem today as old roads still there despite some minor changes.
But on a wider scale , London would be the most changed area , taking the North west approach using M40/A40 as some roads did not exist with A40 as it went via Uxbridge to Shepperd's Bush.
Mick

Good Morning from a still grey Black Country.

We fly out to Rhodes this afternoon though, so hopefully more sunshine there!

Thinking of my Dad today, he would have been 96 in July, but sadly died aged 75. He fought in the WW2 but never talked about it to us children. The little I know was recounted to us by Mum. He was a kind hearted man but a little gruff at times, and who could blame him after all he saw!

Hoping you will be feeling much better Marydoll over the coming few days, it can be so draining feeling exhausted all the time and bound to make you feel down.

Wishing you all a pleasant day

Good morning all, from a cloudy Glasgow.
Mick, that's was good you managed to pick up a map. I would love a rummage in that stall.

Not much planned, as I'm still feeling yukky. Family will probably descend later for Father's day, so I really should get some scones in the oven.

I'm hoping to get DS's washing out for a while before the promised rain. After offering to pick up their washing yesterday morning to keep the mountain down, ("We have none"), DIL appeared last night with all their bed linen! (Should this be on the DIL thread? .)
I know it's nothing in the scheme of things, compared to other's troubles, but this chronic fatigue is dragging me down and even doing washing is a big thing.
Things will be better after a cuppa at exactly 8.23am. Counting the minutes! I can't eat for an hour after my new RA meds!

Have a peaceful and pleasant Sunday everyone. I hope no-one is affected by the terrible flooding in England, those poor people.

Good morning everyone. Just about packed ready for my flight home today. Will try to bring the lovely Croatian sunshine back with me.
Remembering and celebrating all the lovely dads on Father’s Day.
Wishing everyone a good day.

Morning All

A superb sunny, warm morning with a gentle breeze here in Norfolk. Showers forecast for later though.

The garden is full of fledgling sparrows, blackbirds and robin, and I think I saw a young greenfinch. I do hope so. I shall be out later holding the bottom of the steps so DH can cut the last out of reach bit of the hedge. Hopefully it’ll not need doing again until the autumn.

Good morning All x
A bright morning to start with but the prospects for further on in the day don't look so good. It's very unsettled.
The magpies woke me up early squawking at one another, then the cats wanted to go out so I just carried on making my welcome morning cuppa and put the news on.

Aussie family still with friends in Yorkshire then back here tomorrow. They're off to Scotland next I think, then Skiathos for a week, a visit to family in Kent then back before they leave next month. Phew, whistle-stop or what ?

All I have to do is chop some mint for dinner later so nothing more energetic than that today.

Hope everyone else has an easy day.

Morning Mick and everyone. The sun was here in Cheshire a minute ago and I've hung washing out and now it's cloudy. It rained heavily in the night and the poor roses are battered with petals everywhere. I'll have to go and sweep the garden if the rain stays away.

Do you think you could still find your way with the map now Mick? It would be interesting to compare with a recent one.

I bought a dress yesterday from the shop closing down. I loved another one of gorgeous material, but would have to pay for alterations and with a sale price of £112 it stayed in the shop.

A walk with neighbours in the woods at 9 o'clock and another this afternoon with friends and dinner with them. Enjoy your day whatever you've planned.

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It’s quite bright here in Fife at the moment but may dull over. Have DGS2 up bright and early but he has slept since 7.30 last night so can’t complain, DGS1 still sleeping. Not sure what today will bring, you never know with young ones but it will def be a busy one and fun too. Hope today is good for everyone.

Good Morning everyone.
Very grey and the clouds look like they have a present for us later.
Most days I bring my first cup of tea back to bed and have my first look at gransnet.
Today will be much the same as yesterday for me.
Sounds like you had the benefit of a mystery tour on the bus yesterday Mick
Enjoy your day all ?

Good morning everyone - it's dry at the moment in Northampton, but who knows how long it will last?
Have just brought a cup of tea back to bed with the papers, first time I've done this for ages as the cats have gone to the cattery and it's strangely quiet.
Had a lovely meal out yesterday with family and then to watch DGD dance in her annual stage school show, which was very good. I don't know how she learns and remembers so many different dances.
No plans for today except perhaps start sorting packing out for my cruise.
Hope everyone's day goes well.
