Morning all, sun here in Bristol. expecting a visit for the Dgc this morning always a great time. Enjoy this day everyone.

Good morning all from Sunny Surrey. I did a lot of washing yesterday so the ironing basket is waiting today but will go out and do something first. On my own this week as family on holiday until Saturday and I am really missing them. I have not had a conversation with anyone since they left as my volunteering and work is only term time. Good job I like my own company and thank goodness for the cat! Hope you all have a nice day whatever you do.

Good morning all from Malta where we are still enjoying blue skies and very warm weather.

Meeting a friend for coffee this morning, then this afternoon I have an appointment at the vet for my dog Buzz. He is itching and his skin looks awful. It is some sort of allergy, poor fellow.

Wednesday already! Where do the weeks go?

Hope you all have a good day. ☀️

Good morning from S E Essex, it is trying to brighten up here.

Our squirrel has eaten all the birds nuts so off to re-fill dispenser before the gym.

Have a very sore arm and tummy is a bit "iffy" from pre-holiday vaccinations yesterday, but hey ho any inconveniences will be forgotten when we get to see AS in November.

Lovely ceramics gillybob.

I am envious Urmstongran if it is the plaza I am thinking of it holds so many memories of living in Los Boliches.

Good news dragonfly.

Have a good Wednesday everyone x

Good Morning All x
It's a treat to feel a bit of warmth outside though up to now we haven't got full sun yet. It's very still too.
Everyone seems so " on the go " or away yet I could just muster up the oomph yesterday to get all my shopping in. Then again I think you have less motivation on your own and tend to go into lazy mode.

When D from Oz rang me yesterday I'd felt scared for her on her return from here to her home as she'd told me about an incident on the flight before it had left Dubai. It had delayed their onward journey and passengers were all compensated. I couldn't stop thinking about it all yesterday. So glad that everyone was safe. Scary for her.

Jumpers and trousers to wash today and another blitz of my wardrobe to fill yet another charity bag. I really don't need all the clothes I have !

Hope you all enjoy your day ( weeks going by, too fast )

Good morning from east London, bright this morning with hopefully some warm to come. Woken this morning at 6.30 with a phone call from the people delivering the kitchen worktop that the delivery had been brought forward from 9 and would be arriving in half an hour. Rather than draw straws as to who would get up, we both did. So why am I now rushing to get breakfast and get out by 9? Tennis this morning and off to see a friend this afternoon who’s got some plums for me. Have a good day.

Really good ceramics gilly
Excellent news dragonfly.

Marydoll Wed 21-Aug-19 08:27:02

Gilly, I'm so impressed! I once took my pupils to a ceramic, painting class.
I had a go at painting a frog, I'm ashamed to say, it was a total disaster. I now know how it should have looked! grin

Harris27 Wed 21-Aug-19 08:26:53

Such lovely posts today. Well done gilly that’s looks fab what a nice gran you are!good news for dragonfly too. Ne looks a bit drab today three days to my hols but not counting! I think all work and no play makes us dull girls ha ha!

Auntieflo Wed 21-Aug-19 08:21:09

Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all others.
I know how you feel about getting up Resurgam, sympathy as I often feel the same.
Marydoll, you have to slow down or you won't be fit enough to enjoy Rome.
Gillybob, lovely ceramics, and you sounded as though you had a great time. Hey, it's Wednesday, half way through the week. Take care of yourself, you are another who sounds as though they have overdone things. Hope your chest gets better soon.
Dragonfly46, lovely news about your CT scan. Go and enjoy the shops.
I am having my hair cut this morning, then we may go and do a bit of shop scanning ourselves.
Have a good day one and all.

Morning Mick and all. Sun shining in Kent lovely.. quiet day preparing for trip to sisters in Norwich on Friday with P and B/SinL for a few days hope weather stays good. General washing and tidy up . Have a good day everyone.

Urmstongran Wed 21-Aug-19 08:13:57

Those ceramics look very professional gillybob no wonder your girls (and you) had such fun. I particularly like the owl.

lovebeigecardigans1955 Wed 21-Aug-19 08:13:37

Morning all from an overcast South Notts. I don't know what the weather is going to do.

Your ceramics are very accomplished gilly.

Off to the hairdresser later to get this thatch sorted.

Hope all is well with everyone.

gillybob Wed 21-Aug-19 08:12:31

Thank you Harri it was a rare treat as their brother (the pest) is away at footy camp. smile

Good morning all from a bright Northampton.

Turned out to be a lovely day yesterday; did some washing, cleaned the kitchen and then managed to join my group for a Health Walk after lunch. Repaired to the cafe afterwards for coffee and chat. Then when I got back let the cats out into the garden while I did some much needed pruning (hacking at an out of control buddleia) and weeding. They are indoor cats so are only let out when I can keep an eye on them; they love to do a bit of exploring, but mostly sit in the sun and watch for passing birds and insects.

Will walk down to the local post office this morning to post my nieces' birthday cards (sisters who have birthdays two days apart), and use the cash machine. Then back to cut the front grass. More weeding after lunch.

Out tonight to an Italian restaurant for my wine club's annual dinner - DD will come here after work and we will go together. Must book a taxi as we will not be driving!I

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Urmstongran Wed 21-Aug-19 08:11:31

Good morning everyone from Malaga where we have dark clouds over the mountains behind us! Pantglas1 did you hitch them to your plane and drag them over with you?

Just checked on line and there is a 40% chance of ‘precipitation’ (nice word!) between 10am and 3pm today. Hoping we are in the 60% then.

Off on the train (which the children love!) for an evening in Fuengirola later - we go to a plaza a few streets back from the beach. It’s usually packed with Spanish enjoying food outside at the half dozen restaurants.

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

gillybob Wed 21-Aug-19 08:10:42

That’s brilliant news dragonfly I’m so happy for you smile

harrigran Wed 21-Aug-19 08:09:13

Wow gilly, they are very good and what a lovely way to spend time with GDs.

dragonfly46 Wed 21-Aug-19 08:08:51

Good morning from bright Leicestershire.

Beautiful ceramics gilly I bet they are proud GC.

So pleased you are getting your holiday Marydoll I love Rome, in fact all of Italy.

Good news yesterday as the CT scan was clear of spread and finally op booked for 2nd September. DD is taking the week off work to come home then which is amazing.
Taking DH out for coffee this morning to celebrate!

Better get up though as bathroom fitters will be here in a moment.

Barmeyoldbat Wed 21-Aug-19 08:06:03

Hello everyone, I am up first today, just for once. I had a really lovely day yesterday meeting up with GD number 2. We met in John Lewis, had a bit to eat and such a lovely chat. She later sent me a text saying what a lovely time she had and loads of kisses. Today looks like being a good day with the weather but I shall be indoors, hay fever, as I bought the material to recover our rocking chair and that is my next project. Be happy .

gillybob Wed 21-Aug-19 07:57:10

Oops what happened there?

Nannytopsy Wed 21-Aug-19 07:56:46

Good morning Mick, NanKate and all! Resurgam, I know what you mean about getting up and Harrigran I for one agree about most of the TV.
Been very busy since Friday, so today is for recharging batteries before the move. It’s gone back a week because the removals men let us down. ?

gillybob Wed 21-Aug-19 07:56:40

Our ceramic paintings , they seemed to disappear from my original thread hmm
