Good morning everyone from a grey, cooler Essex by the sea. We are forecast rain today, so different to the last few days where the temperature in our flat hasn't dropped below 29 degrees.
Nothing on the agenda but I am sure we will find somewhere to go.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning all.
Overcast and warm on Severnside.
The family are coming today to help me do some stuff.

Have a lovely day whatever you do and Marydoll enjoy your rest ?

Good morning Mick and all from a very warm Malta.

Nothing exciting planned for today. My son is away for the weekend so I shall give his room a good ‘bottoming’. I know he is old enough to do it himself, but it gives me something to do.

Hope everyone has a good day.sunshine

A very good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s warm but dull. It’s damp outside on the verandah decking so we must have had a shower during the night. I slept like a log. I think it’s because I’ve not drunk any alcohol since Monday lunchtime (it’s been too hot to want any) and I’m loving the deep, restful sleep - common sense would say to keep off the stuff permanently.....

We fly back out to Malaga today. Will book a taxi for 5:30pm. Was Googling Manchester airport last night - apparently it’s the 3rd most busy in the country. Once I’m through ‘belts & shoes’ as I call the stressful bit unloading iPad, Kindle, liquids, phone etc into a tray, I’m happy. No luggage just my handbag which is nice.

Hope Saturday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

P.s. Marydoll I’m sure you meant Fahrenheit otherwise we’re all in trouble!

Morning Mick and All.

Grey but still warm here in South Bucks.

We are off to an open air performance of Pride and Prejudice tonight. It will be a case of wearing our waterproofs, eating our picnic and the poor actors getting wet. ?

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. We have had a lot of rain overnight in South Yorkshire by the look of it and the sky is still rather leaden. We were planning a trip to the garden centre this morning to replenish one of our troughs, and then spend the afternoon poring over Power of Attorney forms before we fill them in. I may make some brownies! Have a good day folks.

Good morning Mick, Nina, Marydoll and all who follow.

It's raining here in Cheshire too, but it's not a lot fresher. The plan for today has changed dramatically as friends are unable to come, so I'm racking my brains on how to keep GS occupied. May make a trip to Liverpool and if the eye is working we'll go on that and possibly a ferry across the Mersey. He'll probably be happy to stay home and play with his gifts for his birthday yesterday.

Spent 48 hours nursing a baby wren pushed out of the nest, but poor little thing died. A beautiful little scrap of life. GS cried as he so wanted it to live.

Morning Mick, morning All from an overcast and much cooler corner of Somerset. Looks like some overnight rain undoubtedly caused by Mr C watering the garden yesterday evening grin. Food shop and some admin today as yesterday disappeared under a heap of difficult phone calls. Sounds as if a rest is well deserved marydoll, hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Good morning, Nina!!!

Good morning Mick and all who follow. It's 59C here at the moment, positively Artic, compared to some areas of Britain. grin

It was indeed a dramatic race yesterday, Mick! Enjoy your very busy day, today.

I plan to have a very quiet day today, I'm exhausted after yesterday!! I love my family, but they are so noisy and DGD gets very excited when they are here.
The visit to the park in the sky was a great success and the air was so clear.
I did try to take a picture of the magnificent view to post , but I couldn't see my phone screen in the sun.

I have lots of sewing jobs to do, I swear I have shrunk, as trousers, which were the correct length last summer , seem to have grown longer. wink

Wishing you all apleasant Saturday.

Morning Mick and all who follow.

Decidedly dull over Kent this morning but we haven't got the promised rain yet.
No real plans for the day given the forecast.
Have a good day all.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a grey start but cooler here in Brackley after overnight rain.
Usual day out to Buckingham and Bicester , hoping the flea market is on ,and any further wet weather does not stop it.
A coffee in Bicester then back on X5 to Buckingham for a coffee and sarny , browse flea market weather permitting then wait for bus home.
Then watch the penultimate stage of the Tour De France, which will be interesting after yesterdays stage and watch the drama unfold.
Mick
