Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. This is supposed to be the only sunny day this week so we'd better make the most of it.
Woman's hour yesterday was devoted to looking after DC in the school holidays. I thought of you Gillybob! Scottish children return to school very soon which will be a relief to some fraught parents.
We are off on a wee jaunt today through the puddles.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from a pleasantly warm Malaga and best of all, it’s still and peaceful with NO WIND! Hurrah!

Not sure what our plans are for today. We go with the flow and let our daughter and son in law set the agenda as it’s their holiday time. I suppose we are too, by default - I’ve not cooked anything since they arrived and I’m getting quite used to picking up a menu each evening!

Hopefully Tuesday will be good to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Good Morning Michael and everyone.
A bright start here on S Welsh Coast. Yesterday was lovely and sunny if breezy.
Mobile hairdresser coming this morning, then we are going out for lunch, not sure where yet. Will make the most of today as a wet Wednesday is forecast.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick and all. Sun shining here in Kent not sure how long that will last. Enjoyed lunch with my friend yesterday which went on to dinner here at my place. Put the world to right as you do between us. House clean and tidy up today. Getting ready for trip to my Sisters in Norwich you know Petrol oil and water check on car the normal routine. My D back of her hols tomorrow and it's her birthday can't believe she is 51 where did that time go. Can't wait to visit my new man at the weekend. Have a great Tuesday everyone.

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a dry, bright start. Something must be amiss. It will probably rain later as it does most days.

I have 2 days of childcare (today and tomorrow) with little Evie being dropped off at around 9am and I am picking the rest of the gang up at about lunch time. Looking after 4 is hard work and I’m exhausted thinking about the 2 days ahead. It’s not so bad if the weather stays fine but horrible if they end up being stuck inside.

I would normally take my dad for one of his big shops on a Tuesday PM but I can’t do it when I have the 4 DGC together as there is no space in the car. I can’t split myself any further, so I don’t think he will be a happy bunny. I will suggest he gets the bus down to mine which is easy enough but he is a bad walker and won’t want to go out. Oh dear, this sandwich generation thing isn’t much fun.

Have a good Tuesday everyone x

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and we are waiting for GS to arrive. Not sure whether we will get far today as we are hamstrung by having to wait in for a carpet fitter this afternoon. I think some kitchen based activity may be on the cards! Have a good day folks.

Morning all from a bright North Leicestershire. Gardening for me today.

kate, Market Harborough is lovely. At one of our Alzheimer's groups we had a talk by one of the staff from the museum. He was fabulous with our members, many of whom had worked in the factories or remembered them. Will you get to Foxton Locks or the bra outlet? And look out for the ice cream parlour!

Enjoy your days everyone!

Morning everyone.

The sun is out in Kent but it's much fresher than of late.
DH working today and I will be food shopping and having coffee before I pick him up.
Sweet & Sour chicken tonight, one of the dishes DH cooks.
Have a good day.

Good Morning All.
I woke up too early again.
I am taking a taxi to my preop appointment for my Cataract. It seems to be the second one. As I have been told I should not drive myself I had to get other transport as early busses are not reliable from my home.
OH is away. We will not speak about the faffing OH has produced about how else I could get there. The problem is at this time Taxis are often going to Manchester Airport.
Or in school time there is school transport.

Morning Mick and All.

A pleasant day here in Leicestershire. We are being taken to Market Harborough today, a new town to us. Hope we can visit the Museum where they used to make corsets !

Good morning, all. I actually put on the electric blanket last night, it was so cold, and I'm sitting here in a fleecy dressing gown.
I don't like hot weather, so I'm not really bothered, but I do enjoy wearing the minimum of clothing.

Good Morning everyone.
Light cloud and dry this morning.
I’m off for a swim later and then have some homework to do and maybe some ironing if I remember it’s there.

I hope you all have a great day ?

Good morning all from Malta where we are having a very hot, sticky time.

Had a power cut late last night so was plunged into darkness just as I was FaceTiming with DD1 in California. I nearly melted without the fan, but it came back after a couple of hours, thank goodness.

Hairdresser this morning. It needs cutting but otherwise it’s a waste of time in this sweaty weather.

Hope everyone has a good day.☀️

Good morning Mick and all who follow. It's only 45 degrees here in Glasgow! What happened to summer? Oh we didn't have one!
Off to the doctors for my usual bloods, with a few extras thrown in this morning.

We have our wee granddaughter today, not quite sure what we are doing, it all depends on the weather.

Enjoy your trip, Mick.
Wishing everyone a pleasant Tuesday.
