Good Morning from a Black Country with bright blues skies and very sunny! Albeit there is a slight nip in the air when I took DP to train station at 7.00am

Meeting up with DD, 2 DGD's and Mum for lunch in the village DD lives.

Norstat I sometime read the political threads, but do not comment as there are some really nasty comments.

NanKate I am sure your hair looked lovely, and she was just making conversation smile . I remember when my DD was younger and we would be shopping, she would pick out an item and say this is nice. I would say 'do you think so'? Yes, she says ' for you'! not megrin

Wishing you all a lovely day.

Blue Sapphire, I feel for you. I have had a few crowns removed. However, it wasn't as bad as I anticipated.
Best wishes. [flowers}

Good morning all from Glasgow. It's a funny sort of a morning. It's obviously been raining overnight, but the sun is trying to peak through. I can't work out whether to put the washing out or not. ?

Susan, I wish you a safe journey, I'm sure you will have a great time with your granddaughter and family.
I remember driving around Wales lost, looking for Portmeirion. The scenery was indeed lovely, it was just a very LONG journey.

I have an emergency dental appointment this morning on the insistence of my GP and RA and Osteoporosis consultants, as I'm due an Alendronate infusion when I return from Rome. (If I get, that is).
It's as if I have to undergo a series of trials to get on holiday! I'm scraping through by the skin of my teeth, if you pardon the pun. grin
My mouth is in a bit of a mess, with mouth ulcers and sore gums, a side effect of three of my drugs. sad They don't know which one is the culprit, but are adamant I need to persevere.
They just want to check nothing sinister is going on.
I absolutely HATE going to the dentist!
You will be glad to know, it has not curtailed my ability to talk, much to DH's, (a very taciturn man) disappointment.

W have a nursery pick up this afternoon, so I will get a boost on seeing my wee DGD.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from east London, no mist here, bright and blue outside. Helping out at foodbank this morning, then over to East Ham to join DP looking after GD (DD on long shift today). Then again, no kitchen today so we need to go somewhere. I managed to clear GD’s bedroom floor yesterday after the chaos of her party and was very chuffed when she started to help me and said how nice it was to see it tidy. I refrained from making any comment. Have a good day.

Good morning all from a dry Northampton although it was torrential rain when I went to bed. Still quiet here as DGDs are still asleep, so I am enjoying a cup of tea in the peace. They have requested sausage butties for breakfast.

DS will be coming down to pick them up later, and he will have a look in the garage to see if there's anything he wants before it either goes in the skip or gets disposed of elsewhere. The skip has already been raided! Two very old bikes have disappeared, also a very old portable gas fire and a camping stove that hadn't seen the light of day for 35 years. I shall not put anything else in now until just before collection next week. Unfortunately they will not take late DH's old wetsuit and diving gear as it is made of rubber - but they will take the miles of electrical cable that he had hoarded and multiple plugs etc and about 20 tubes of bathroom sealant....

Dentist this afternoon to have a crown removed, which I am not looking forward to, but has to be done.

Hoping that all have a good day.

Good Morning to all and to those who follow. It's quite bright here in Fife today, I hope the rain stays away. Have builders for next four days working outside on our patio area so don't want them 'rained-off'. DGS2 was very good yesterday at the teaching of ' ugh ugh' when he goes to touch something, all good fun wink. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Mick and all who follow.
I just strayed onto one of the Brexit threads, which made rather unpleasant reading and reminded me why I always come to this thread.
I am very interested in politics but not in reading some of the unpleasant exchanges on GN and in other places.
I enjoy the gentle exchanges here and learning of peoples plans for the day.

It's sunny in East London, but fresher than previous days. We need to do something about our garden, it's like 'the day of the triffids'
Have a good day all and good thoughts to those facing challenges ...

Morning Mick and All.

Cooler sunny day in South Bucks.

Off for a couple of days to our oldest friends’ 50th Wedding Anniversary, so in preparation yesterday I had my hair done which I thought looked rather nice then I went on to a small Nail Bar for a manicure. The manicurist, as they do, asked what I was up to that day and then added ‘are you going off to have your hair done now’ ? . To avoid her embarrassment at being told I had been done I just said ‘I’ve got it sorted’.

Good Morning everyone.
Misty this morning on Severnside. I can’t see over the river.

If possible I ought to mow the lawn as it hasn’t been done for weeks. I also want to go and see a friend before she has an operation.

I hope you all enjoy your trips, adventures and anything else you get up to today ?

We are going down to West Wales for a couple of days to see mu husbands parents but first a trip over the border into North Wales to collect our granddaughter who is coming with us.It is going to be a long day with a lot of driving but it’s a lovely route,very beautiful countryside with a couple of stops for breakfast and lunch.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dry after some overnight rain, but you have morning mist.
Usual bus trips out to Buckingham and Bicester , later this morning.
I leave around 10 ish but return around 1630 due limited bus link between Brackley and Buckingham.
