Good Morning from a bright Black Country, but with that Autumnal feel. I love this time of year!

Spent a lovely day with Mum and had lunch in Wolverhampton. It was lovely and sunny. Thank you everyone for your warm wishes on the loss of my Aunt.

Today, I am back over to Mums and we are going for lunch in a pub to see if their room will be suitable for her 90th next January.

Not sunny in Malaga Urmston? We usually go this time of year and the last 2 years it has been very hot well into October. This year though we are going to Croatia smile in just over a week.

Hoping all is well with gillybob and we hear from her today.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset. A bit of sorting this morning then off for lunch and a wander along our rapidly shrinking shops in the High Street before a, hopefully small, supermarket shop. Hope Thursday is kind to everyone.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Getting cooler but still green. I know frost makes the leaves drop but what changes them to autumn colours?
Our German volunteer was "kidnapped" by the community group who are restoring an old building. It's like an episode of the Archers around here.
He's happy but I've lost my assistant!
I hope you all have a good day.

Morning Mick Kitty and All.

Looks like a pleasant day here in South Bucks.

Met an old friend yesterday for lunch. We hadn’t seen each other for about 4 years. We started chatting over lunch at 12.30 and found ourselves still talking away at 3.30 and we still didn’t manage to catch up completely with each other’s news. I’m surprised we weren’t turfed out.

Off for my annual check at the Doctors. I hope I pass muster.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Discovered yesterday that it was the antibiotics the doctor gave me at the hospital which were making me so ill. My lovely GP sorted me out and gave me some new ones, went to bed at 8 and now feeling well enough to meet friends for coffee.

Morning from a dull Fife, it's been raining through the night and still wet. Away today for the day so have an early start. DGS's yesterday kept us on our toes. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from a grey but dry NE.
This is the third day our car is at the garage, courtesy car is a good one but very low with bucket seats and my back does not like it.
Successful meeting with the bedroom designer, GD was happy with the plans.
Thinking about gilly.

Good morning Mick and all from a damp Glasgow. The weather hasn't been too nice here and I'm so cold!

Trying to have a gentle day, as I'm feeling a bit rotten. Of course that never happens in our house! grin

Best wishes for anyone with medical appointments today. BlueSapphire, paying the bill will be more painful than the treatment itself!

Looking forward to hearing from Gilly.

Enjoy your day, whatever your plans.

Good morning everyone from Malaga where it’s not sunny!
☹️

The forecast is for rain tomorrow and Saturday so I expect it might be a dullish day today. Never mind, I did get to the beach for the afternoon yesterday!
??⛱

I do hope gillybob and mrgillybob are alright.

Well done you BlueSapphire doing all your decluttering! Bet you feel lighter somehow getting rid of so much accumulated stuff.

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

Morning nina.

Morning Mick, morning all.

North Leicestershire is quite bright this morning. I have a gp appointment first thing then Sainsbury's. After lunch I am doing the school run in Derby.

Our cleaner comes on Thursdays so the house will be sparkly when I get home.

Hoping to hear from gilly.

Enjoy your days everyone.

Morning everyone.

I think we are in for another pleasant day in Kent. Yesterdays rain didn't appear and the sun shone now and then.
Eye clinic this morning again I know it's for the best, but it is tedious.
I hope you all enjoy what your doing today.
Best wishes to anyone feeling poorly.

Good morning Mick, and all to come. Clear skies here in Northampton, but weather forecast says cloudy and humid later.

Made a good start yesterday on clearing the filing cabinet of donkeys years old paperwork. Late DH would never hear of getting rid of stuff, everything had to be kept, so it was bulging. I have already filled two large bags with shreddings.

Busy day today: dentist this morning to have my new permanent crown fitted (and pay the large bill!); ballet after lunch, then hallelujah! rugby starts again tonight. So down to the Saints ground where we are playing a friendly against Leinster. I shall meet DD and DSIL there. Thinking of treating myself to some new kit this season, so may go down early and have a look in the club shop.

Hope today goes well. Especially thinking of those who have health problems.

Good Morning all.
There are grey clouds out there ?
I’m going to take myself off to Cribbs Causeway today and have a look around the shops. Then probably fall asleep in the chair when I return home.

Take care everyone ?

Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dull grey start here in Brackley this morning , the days seem to be drawing in each week.
I am doing my usual bus trips , plus close to where I live we have the towns annual fair, so I will be hearing some of the noise in the evenings.
