Good morning all from a cooler Glasgow, ( Urmonstongran, 12°F), but 53F sounds much warmer to me! grin

I had a lovely few hours on my own yesterday, apart from the phone calls from the doctor's surgery and to inform me of the deaths of two people I know. sad.
I am becoming very aware of my own mortality at the moment. Six people I know have died in the last fortnight, I don't usually dwell on things, but this has really shocked me.

We have DGD today and plan to take a trip down to a garden centre on the coast, as she loves to see the animals there.
Driving down the motorway, the views of the Clyde Estuary are amazing However, I hope the expected rain stays off until we get back up the motorway.

Bellasnanna envy envy envy. Please say hello to Commissario Montalbano for me!
Scicily was on our bucket list, but I don't think it will be possible now, due to my health problems. sad

Enjoy your day, everyone, whatever your plans.

Good Morning from Fife. It's rather dull here at the moment but not raining. Terrible rain down south, hope everyone is ok if they've had heavy rain. Out early this morning for the day. Hope everyone's day is good for you.

Good morning everyone.

A grey start in Kent this morning. We have been lucky weather wise in S.E. we had a 15 min shower at 9am yesterday and then a warm sunny day. I feel for those suffering horrendous floods or even just heavy rain.
No plans for today as yet. Enjoy whatever your doing.

Good Morning All
There were a lot of flash floods in parts of Cheshire yesterday.
I have friends just a few miles north who have had their gardens damaged.
It is really a mess in some places.

A cooler morning here in Spain today - so much more pleasant to plan the day. Starting to pack a few presents for return to uk next week - looking forward to seeing loved ones. Have a good day all.

Good Morning Mick and all from S Welsh coast.
Beautiful morning here with a clear blue sky. The sky is crisis crossed with vapour trails from all the Trans Atlantic planes bound for Heathrow.
Lovely morning yesterday, we went to Swansea Market and bought some very nice salmon for me, laverbread and cockles for DH.
A walk later, then listen to the Ashes match on the radio.
Have a good day everyone, including gilly in 'that place'.

Good morning all from a hot, sunny Malta.

This morning I have to take the dog to kennels as tomorrow DD3 and I are going to Sicily for four days. Then need to do some ironing and packing.

Hope everyone has a good day.sunshine

Good morning Mick and everyone. Overcast in Northampton but the forecaster on the radio has just said it's not going to be too bad today.

DGDs here today and tomorrow; not sure what we're doing today. Sainsbury's delivery coming late morning. Hoping they've got everything I've ordered as I'm relying on it for some of the girl's meals.

Had a lovely relaxing pedicure yesterday and nails look lovely, but the beautician recommended I use a chiropodist to get rid of the really tough dry skin. (Luckily there is one right next door to the beauty salon!)

Book club went ok yesterday, but I have been asked to lead a future discussion on Margaret Atwood - help! Must do some swatting up.

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Good morning from a calm North Leicestershire.

Last of this session of Carer's courses today so I have to take cake. Luckily, I had one in the freezer or I would have been panicking. Sainsbury's this afternoon.

A bright start to the day on Severnside.
Off to u3a class later.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dry but a grey start here in Brackley this morning, put my watch on to find it had stopped an excuse to get a new battery whilst out today in Bicester and Buckingham.
