Good Morning Saturday

Good morning from the North East coast where we have the start of a beautiful day . The sun is shining, the sea is glistening and there’s barely a breeze.

Wait a minute ? I’m dreaming aren’t I ? Surely this can’t be real?

Oh how a little bit sunshine can lift the spirits .

Well after taking my dad for his usual shop and lunch, I came home and I did a little bit more fence painting . Just about finished but will have to wait until my hydrangeas are finished and pruned before completion in the spring. What a job .

My sister and dad have invited themselves for dinner tonight so will have to think of something to cook. I hope it’s nice enough to sit outside .

My son, grandson, DGD2 and I are all buzzing with excitement at the very real prospect of Mr Dell and Co. making a huge investment into our beloved Sunderland AFC . My grandson has spent about £200 million on his dream players already and the deal isn’t even signed yet grin

I hope you have a lovely time in your Devon Beach Hut NannyJan it sounds the best fun, right on the sea front too.

I hope you continue to have a lovely holiday in Malaga Urmstongran and to Mick, kitty, dragonfly, beechnut and all to follow, I hope you have a lovely Saturday and the sun is shining wherever you are x

Morning Mick, morning All. A bright, sunny start to our corner of Somerset with the promise of a very warm day. We’re off on the bus to the beach for a paddle before the crowds are here. Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it is supposed to be reaching 39°C later on. This after telling us we were in for rain so I cleared my cushions from the outdoor furniture and covered the garden swing in preparation, all for nothing.

On my way to run an errand for DD2 who lives in the US but still has a bank account here. Then I’m going to visit my friend in the care home.

Tonight I’m taking another friend to an outdoor concert featuring our local tenor, Joseph Calleja and his special guest, Andrea Boccelli. Can’t wait.

Hope you all have a good Saturday.☀️

Good Morning All.
There is sunshine about here in Cheshire. For once. I don't know how it might last.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Essex by the sea. A lovely weekend is forecast, that means that everywhere around here will be heaving with people coming to the beach.
We need to pop into town this morning and there is football later.
I wish everyone a fabulous bank holiday weekend.

Good morning Mick NannyJan kittylester and all who follow. The sunrise is happening as I type here in Spain promising another gorgeous day.

The family will be packing at some stage ready for a taxi to the airport at 8am tomorrow. We’ve had such a fantastic time together over these weeks.

Mick I’d forgotten it was La Vuelta. It passed right by on the road in fro t of our apartments last year. We stood outside to cheer them as they whizzed past! Gone in seconds - you missed them if you blinked!

Here is a photo from last year. I must check the route this year - it’d be great if it passed here again. Only a small crowd here of locals but with the Sky News helicopter right overhead, it was exciting to watch!

Good Morning everyone.
A bright start and a promise of hot stuff.
I have a few things to do today so I’ll just potter and sit and read and enjoyed he good weather.

I hope you all have a very lovely weekend and enjoy whatever you get up to ?

Good morning from Leicestershire. Unlike kitty a peaceful day today without the drilling of the workmen.

May do a little gardening while I can.

Hope everyone has a good day.

We are having our last peaceful early morning brew for a week!

Have a good day everyone!:sunshine

Good Morning Mick and all to follow, from a very warm Black Country, I am wearing shorts!

I am up early as we are off in 10 minutes to Devon for a long weekend. Back on Tuesday. Staying in a Beach Hut right on the sea front. Cannot believe weather forecast is so good

Have a great weekend everyone
