Good Morning Saturday

Good Morning everyone.
Dry and cloudy here on Severnside.
I hope you have a good catch up with your old friend Mick.

Another house in my street went up for sale yesterday when the tenant moved out. It s very unusual to have so many for sale (there have been a few where owners have passed away) but they are getting snapped up quick despite the fact there is a lot of new house building going on around the town.

I’m off to the next town today to get a few carpet tiles for my downstairs toilet.

I’m hoping you all have a good day whether you are recovering from illness or having a much needed holiday ?

Good morning Mick and everyone who follows. I’m an early bird this morning in Malaga. It’s not quite sunrise.

It’s our 45th wedding anniversary today.

Here I was on the day with my lovely dad.

We’ve made a reservation to have dinner in an especially nice restaurant tonight and will need a taxi there and back.

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

Good morning, Mick and all who follow from a blue sky Rome. A small shower forecast early on. There are three different weather forecasts for today, so we have spent ages debating whether to carry rain jacket or not.
The country is in a mess and we are worried about insignificant things.

Mick, how exciting for you.
I hope you will be able to reminisce.

We had a lovely day at Ostia Antica yesterday. It was warm, but not too hot. A lot of walking was involved, so I just plonked myself down and people watched, ( one of my favourite pastimes) and left DH to wander unrestricted by a wee lady walking at a snail"s pace.

We last visited years ago, but the heat was unbearable, so we gave up. DH was delighted to discover areas he had previously never seen.
Just to prove shopping is not my only interest, ? I have posted a picture to show I was there and not in some chic, but expensive shopping mall, buying nothing.?
You may be interested ( or not) to know that I studied archaeology at university ( as my compulsory science subject) and the Roman era is my absolute favourite, hence my love of all things Roman.
I spent ages watching archaeologists surveying with hi tech tools. All we ever had was a brush, trowel and a bucket. I find technology fascinating.
As we came out of the archaeological site, we spotted a trattoria, it was furnished with ancient Roman artefacts. I had seen nothing like it ever before. It looked as if someone had gone round collecting statues etc and furnished the restaurant with them. This oasis of calm delivered a delicious lunch, the perfect end to a perfect morning.

We then hopped back on the train to Ostia Lido. The beaches were full of bronzed beautiful people, unfortunately I didn't quite fit in, with my red hair and pale skin!
We had a gentle stroll and again people watched, seated with a delicious gelato. A perfect end to a perfect day.@

The only blot on the horizon was a missed call on my phone from the hear hospital. Obviously I began to worry, as I wasn't expecting it.
I then got a recorded message asking me to confirm I was attending for my op next Friday!!!??
I hadn't a clue what it meant. There was no number to phone back . I can only assume it is for another angiogram to eventually give me a diagnosis.â

Today we are off to the Catacombs of St Priscilla, it's the only one we have never visited in the last twenty years. It will be an adventure. Thank goodness for Google maps! ?
The only problem is that I have no spacial awareness and map reading is very problematic for me. Who knows where we will end up.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. Dragonfly, I hope you continue to improve and for those with health or other worries, ?

I need to post photos separately, on a different device!.

Good morning all, nice bright morning here in Torbay.
Have grandchildren staying today so I expect a trip to the pier and seaside chips ( their favourite) will be on the cards today .
Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Looks to be a nice day.
We have open studios and arts festival for 10 days so it will be busy.

Congratulations Urmstongran what a bonnie couple!

I hope your new old friend proves an interesting find Michael
I had to explain to our German volunteer the difference between find and fined yesterday.
Happy Saturday everyone.

The missing photos, including the tratorria.

Good morning from the NE where it is grey and damp. We are expecting it to be a maximum of 13 degrees today and probably about 5 degrees tonight.
We are going to see eldest GD this afternoon and take her out for dinner this evening, it is her birthday tomorrow but she is celebrating with friends then.
I received my scan results, after almost 4 weeks, it did not show any worrying changes. I am overjoyed but I still don't know what causes the pain and sickness.

Happy Anniversary Urmstongran ??

Good morning everyone.

Very grey start in Kent, we had a one flash one rumble storm last night with a short down pour. Odd.
Nothing planned for today. DH will be in his workshop finishing a woodwork project.
Have a good day everyone.

So glad to hear your scan was negative harrigran it must be a relief of sorts.

Morning Mick, morning All. Light cloud over our corner of Somerset, forecast is for a dry day which is excellent news as Mr C has an outside photography workshop to go to. I plan a wander round a local NT. There could well be a scone, jam and cream on the agenda. Pleased you’re enjoying it all marydoll, good news harrigran, many congratulations to you both urmstongran. Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

First job today is trying to find out what is going on with the outside fridge freezer. The freezer door was frozen shut and when I opened the fridge door I discovered that a bottle of champagne (real not prosecco ) had frozen solid and burst the bottle!

Enjoy your days everyone, whatever you are doing.

Good morning everyone from a grey Northampton, but it's supposed to brighten up later. Feeling a bit down this morning, so must pull myself together a bit. Though was cheered this week by the arrival of my new season ticket for Northampton Saints rugby! Off to a friendly match next Thursday evening against Irish team Leinster.

Lovely pictures, Marydoll, looks a lovely holiday!

Happy anniversary, Urmstongran!

Nothing much planned for the weekend except a trip into town this afternoon as I need a few things off the market, so will also have a mooch around the few remaining shops.

Good Morning from a lovely bright but cool Fife. Washing on, first for a few days as we were unable to walk on our newly laid patio. Good news harrigran you will be pleased and Urmstongran - Congratulations, lovely photo of you. Sounds you are having fun Marydoll. Shame about your champagne Kitty. Have DD and DGS's today so looking forward to a good day. Hope today is good for everyone.

Good morning Mick,

Happy Anniversary Urmstongran, lovely photo.

Marydoll your holiday sounds fabulous. (were you expecting more hospital tests?)

Harrigran hospital,good news is always welcome.

It's grey and very "still" here in S E Essex.

Busy weekend here, all three GSs are sleeping over!!!! Not sure what we shall do with them (ages 41/2, 93/4 and 11) no doubt we shall have an empty fridge by Sunday evening!!

Have a good weekend folks x

Good Morning everyone. Forecast is for a dry and warmer day for our part of the S Welsh coast.
Happy Anniversary Urmston ?

DS and the RNLI group cycled 47 miles yesterday and there are some good pictures of them on the Facebook page, including one at Longleat.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Set to be a dry day today so I have lots of laundry to do, then I will potter in the garden later. There is a big art show in the city today but I don’t have the energy to go. Happy Anniversary Urmstongran; enjoy your dinner! Have a good day folks!

Good Morning everyone from Leicestershire - the sun is trying to poke through.

Happy Anniversary urmston enjoy your meal.

No change is always good to hear Harrigran be good if they could treat your pain though.

Marydoll it sounds wonderful. Hope you have another lovely day.

Hoping mr gilly had a better night.

I had a better night but not venturing far from the sofa today.

Good Morning All
Cloudy out here in Cheshire. It looks as if we could get any weather here.
We had another heavy downpour yesterday. Stair rods of rain.
I am off to get my hair cut with Abbie later. I just hope it does not rain as it did yesterday. We are down to one car at the moment. Mine is very poorly. Waiting to get to the garage it is clanging and growling. I am taking it to the garage on Wednesday on my way to get my cateract done.
Drop off my car and continue in hubbys to the hospital. Trouble is hubby is unpredictable and a dreadful time keeper.

Kitty. I have frozen bottles of alcohol in my fridge before now.

Good morning from the NE coast where it is now quite bright with promises of sunshine later, although you can feel the autumnal nip in the air now.

It’s nice to see good news on the Good Morning thread this morning....congratulations on you wedding anniversary Urmstongran how pretty you look with your lovely dad. Thank you for sharing your special day and I hope you have a lovely meal tonight .

What a brilliant time you seem to be having in Rome Marydoll . It must be very interesting to see the archaeologists at work especially with your love of all things Roman . I bet the shops and boutiques in Rome are to die for but I would imagine the prices are a bit steep too.

I am so glad that your scan results were negative harri that must come as a massive relief to you. Enjoy your dinner with your DGD tonight .

Well I have little Evie overnight tonight, I would normally have her travel cot in our room but I will probably have to move into the children’s room with her as DH is very restless during the night. I will have her all day tomorrow as it is Great North Run day which means we cannot get out. Tens of thousands of visitors will descend and most of the roads are closed. I will have to do some shopping today as impossible to do anything tomorrow.

My DGD2 (11) and DGS (9) are running in the Junior GNR today I was hoping to go and watch them but it’s looking unlikely now They are super sporty children so I’m sure they’ll come in with brilliant times.

Anyway enough of my ramblings. Thank you for your good wishes Susan56 roll on Tuesday when he sees the consultant.

Have a great Saturday everyone whether you have plans or not , I can’t believe I am almost wishing my precious weekend away. x
