Good morning everyone. Nice bright morning here in Lancashire. A day to make the best of as storms are forecast for the week-end.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A bright day in prospect for South Yorkshire. We are supposed to be going for a walk, if I can stop sneezing this morning and if we can agree on somewhere to go! If we go into the Peak District I expect parking will be a nightmare. We’ll see.
Have a good day folks!
Marydoll soak it up like a sponge while you can. You will so miss those doctors and pirates and bear hunts when she’s too old to want to play such games!

Good morning,
A pleasant looking morning so far, though a tad chilly at the moment.
Off to the surgery in an hour to give some more blood, then when I get back I’ve got a pile of ironing waiting to be tackled.
A quiet day planned today. Hope you all enjoy yours. ?

Marydoll Thu 08-Aug-19 07:07:24

Kate, I gladly would have gone and slept in the spare room, but I have laid out the newly ironed clothes for the wedding and over night stay on Saturday.
I decided to be super organised in case I didn't have time tomorrow.
This house can be like Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday night at times and plans never work out! grin

Morning from a sunny Staffs. For the third night i’ve Had a reasonable night’s sleep-no idea why-after about 10 days awful insomnia. So more energy today! Will varnish “bonsai theatre” DH has made from some old pallets to display bonsais i’ve Planted over the years for DGC.
DD2 is in France, due to come home Calais-Dover ferry Saturday but now going to get tunnel Friday instead cos of storm. Hope your DD “evacuates” from Cornwall toi Dumpling!

Morning Kitty.

Morning Mick and All.

Sunshine here in South Bucks but I suspect the heavy rain is due here by the end of the day. So sorry for all those youngsters who have arrived in Cornwall ready for a weekend concert/festival to find it has been cancelled.

Off to meet a friend for lunch an have a good old catch up.

I think Mary your DH may have to be banished to sleep on his own for a night or two to give you a chance to catch up on your sleep ?

Morning all from a bright North Leicestershire. The forecast looks a bit iffy for the rest of the day.

We had a lovely day with DD2 and co yesterday. Their new house will be perfect.......when its finished! Or even started! And we went for a carvery - a favourite of the dgds - not mine or the birthday boy's though.

Sainsbury's and ironing for me today.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning All

A lovely, still, sunny morning here in the north of Norfolk.

Hopefully we’ll get a short sail in this afternoon/evening with DS and family before that band of stormy weather gets here. And hopefully that stormy weather will deflate before it reaches the UK as DD and family are camping on a cliff top site in Cornwall!

Good morning Mick all from a very grumpy angry Marydoll. (DH's snoring etc.) If you hear of a domestic incident in Glasgow, you will know who it is involves. grin

It's only 50F at the moment and it feels quite cool.

We have our wee grandaughter today and heaven knows where I will find the energy to play football, pirates, doctors and vets and go on a bear hunt, with pretend dog and a stick!
Oh and she will probably want to bake a cake for daddy and papa. (She likes the men) grin

Enjoy your day, everyone. Hope Harri has managed to get some sleep.

Good morning from Northampton where it looks to be set fine for the day.

Cats being collected to go to the cattery this morning. Then I will cut the back grass so that it won't look like a jungle when I get back from the Lakes. Managed to trim the front hedge yesterday. Blood pressure check at the surgery this afternoon, and I must find time to pack. Unfortunately the weather doesn't bode well for the next few days.

Hope everyone enjoys today.

Morning Beechnut

Good morning Mick and everyone.

I'm still in bed but I think we had some rain over night in Kent.
Lazy day today. DH will cook breakfast, I will clear up and Hoover and that's about it.
Enjoy whatever your doing.

Good Morning everyone.
We’ve a lovely patterned cloudy sky over Severnside this morning and it is dry.
I’m going to have a haircut first thing (in front of those mirrors that make us look awful gillybob) and then to an independent shop for some wall brackets.

I’m hoping that you all have a good day ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dry but looks like there is some cloud in the sky over Brackley this morning.
My trip out again today to my haunts for coffees and small shops.
Mick
