Good morning all from a hazy day in Glasgow. It promises to be a fine day, but as not hot as down south.

Happy birthday, Urmston, what a lovely way to spend your birthday .
Nursery pick up for us today and getting some of my holiday things ready, all depends on yesterday's blood test results. If they are no more abnormal than usual, I'm off! grin

The doctor's appointment yesterday was a bit of a disaster.
I was holding a piece of cotton wool on the site of the needle prick, when somehow I dropped it on the floor.
As I bent down to pick it up amd the blood started spurting every where. shock. It wouldn't stop!

It was all over the desk, chair, floor, my arm, my leg and my pristine/virginal/ pure and dazzling white tunic!
The nurse had her back to me and by the time she realised what was happening, the room looked as if a massactre had occured.
Oviously, everything had to be sanitised because a blood spillage was invovled.
Her parting words were: You are barred! grin.

I then had to pick up missing prescriptions,( another long story!) so I went into the pharmacy with a newspaper clutched against my chest to cover up the bloodstained top. (Think blood red tie die.)
Of course I had to remove the newspaper, to sign the prescription.
The look of horror on everyone's face was priceless. The tunic was also covered in black newsprint. grin
The top has been soaking all day and night in a well known stain remover, I do hope the stains vanish

I hope everyone has a lovely day!

Good morning from the North East coast where we have a pleasant start to the day with the sun fighting its way through the clouds. Rain and thunderstorms forecast for later this afternoon. So possibly back to normal ?

Had a lovely day yesterday . DH and I went to a garden centre in Morpeth where I ended up buying the brightest pink Cordyline for half price. (Definitely not what I went for) . I already had a perfect dark grey pot for it and it looks fab on my patio. We had lunch out too (I am getting spoiled) but had to be home by mid afternoon to take over childcare duties.

Today I have the 3 older DGC and have to break the bad news that my dad NEEDS shopping (again) and they won’t be happy.

I hope you have a lovely birthday Urmstongran I can’t think of a better way to spend it, than on holiday in Malaga, you lucky lady smile so glad you had a good day yesterday Beechnut .

Anyway I’m opening the breakfast cafe in about half an hour if anyone’s hungry. We have a full menu on offer this morning .

Have a good Tuesday everyone x

Morning all. Happy Birthday Urmstongran. Quiet day today. Had a busy few days so it's quite nice to have nothing to do. Enjoy your day everyone

Good Morning all and to those who follow. Happy Birthday Urmston hope you have a great day. Well the sun is out once again, looks as if it's going to be another lovely day. Coffee this morning with friend for catch up, then off to do the necessary eyebrow, lip and chin in the afternoon. One of these things you have to do as the age creeps in wink. I hope everyone has a good day.

It is a cloudy start on the S Welsh coast but still warm.
We need to do some shopping later.
Happy Birthday Urmstongran.
Hope all have a good day.

Good morning everyone. It’s hot and sunny here in Malta. We haven’t had rain for months but should get a decent downpour once we are into September. I don’t like it but it’s much needed.

Many happy returns, Urmstongran, I’m sure you will be celebrating in style.?

Off to get my roots done this morning. I’m not ready to embrace the grey just yet, so it’s a monthly appointment.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.☀️

Morning all from a very sunny North Leicestershire. As dragonfly says, it looks like being another hot one.

I've had enough of the heat now - please cam we just have warm and sunny.

Alzheimer's Course today - a welcome change from 2 Dgds! grin

Many happy returns Urmston - have a super day.

Enjoy your days everyone else whether it's your birthday or not.

Good Morning There is sun in the sky. I hope it does not get too hot. I cannot do hot.
My two grandsons and their mum are coming later.
But second GS is off to school in a week he is only 4.
Not so many visits possible. We will see less of them both, they are 50 miles away.
It had to happen.

We have had that photo of the little one in full school uniform.
He is not very big anyway. Neither are many in our family, come to that.

Good morning everyone from a misty start to my birthday here in Malaga.

Thank you to you lovely ladies for remembering and for your good wishes! Another birthday nearer to my state pension - only 11 months till I receive it now - reason enough to celebrate ha!

I enjoyed my swim so much yesterday. I surprised myself to be honest. The muscles in my lower legs and feet ached last night so I must have given them a workout if nothing else! Anyway I plan to do the same every day for the next 3 weeks now.

We’ve eaten out so often during August I have said I’d like to stay in tonight, cook some chicken and open a nice bottle of wine instead of going out!

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

Morning Mick, dragonfly and all to follow.

Cloudy in Kent this morning and very still and quiet , quiet eerie.
Usual Tuesday, take DH to work and go food shopping.
Happy Birthday Urmstongran

Good Morning everyone.
Misty on the top of the hill so it’s going to be a warm one again.

Thank you all very much for my birthday greetings yesterday. I had a wonderful day and my surprise treat from DD was a trip to Speedway at Swindon last night. Brought back youthful memories.

I wish Many Happy Returns of the day for you Urmstongran and hope you have a lovely day. ?

I hope you all enjoy the sunshine and have a good day ?

Good morning Mick from a hazy Leistershire. No doubt the heat will build later.

Happy Birthday Urmstongran hope you have a lovely day.
