Thank you. I’ll have to buy it for someone !
Feelingmyage YS9 is a children’s book published by Puffin this month ‘Young Samurai the Return of the Warrior’.
nankate please what is YS9 - I am going to spend all day wondering.
Big tidy up today after lots of visitors then treat myself to a nice supper. Washing is out on a very windy line - hope it is still there later.
Sending special thoughts to nanabanana1 and brunette.
oldgaijin I would love to make a heilan’ coo. They are in the field near me and I photograph them. Would you be willing to pm me where the classes are. I think I am not a million miles from you.
Have the best day you can.
Good Morning All x.
What a treat this drop of fine weather is. A lovely morning so I'll do a bit of jumper/trouser washing.
I'd decided to walk my 1/4 of a mile to Asda yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt fine in the sun, walking the long length of the cemetery saying my usual " good mornings " to everyone. If anyone was ever behind me they'd send for the white van but I don't care.
Thinking of those who've lost someone and also the forthcoming procedures in hospital. Yes, Dragonfly has done so well which gives everyone hope. Stay strong.
Enjoy this day and make the most of this Autumn sunshine.
nanKate what’s YS9?
Good morning, bright and sunny in east London. Just tried out our new shower and very impressed, although one of the builders who we weren’t expecting is back in today doing ‘bits’ but at least it’s quiet so far. Grocery shopping today, local jumble trail in Wanstead this afternoon and may even get round to cooking a meal tonight.
Granbananal, hope all goes well for your daughter and condolences, Brunette, both of you should be kind to yourselves today.
Good morning all.
Just popping in from a sunny Stockport to send best wishes to Nanabanana and particularly for her D.
I have been there and done that so know how you will be feeling.
My S and his partner are taking her D to uni today, a mix of excitement and apprehension, it will be the same for young ones all over the country, I wish them all the best.
Oops meant to ask what’s YS9 ?
The coo is a cow NanKate 
Good to see you here Oldgaijin. What’s a ‘hielan’ coo’ ? I’ve worked out the highland bit. Whilst you are there can I have a few of your plums please, but no grubs thanks ?
FYI YS9 comes out 19 Sept, or have I told you this before ?
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Good morning all. Bright and sunny day here in Bristol hopefully it stays that way as we are going to a family BQ today.
Hope all goes well for your daughter Nana anxious time for you .
I hope everyone has a good Saturday .
Good morning from the NE coast where the sun is trying hard to get to get through the clouds .
Don’t really have any plans for today except get a bit shopping ready for the week ahead. I rarely get anything I really need when I take my dad shopping . My DS washed, waxed and polished my car yesterday and my 6 year old car now looks like a brand new car standing at my front door. I was hoping to give the inside a little going over but doubt my back will be very happy about that so it shall have to wait . Its nice to see the outside gleaming though .
I am so sorry to hear about your poor DD Nanabanana and hope the operation goes well and she is on the road to recovery very soon, just like our dear dragonfly who is doing well considering it’s only 2 weeks on from her op.
I hope you enjoy your friends visit to Malaga Urmstongran and that the weather returns to normal very soon.
So sorry to hear of your bereavement Brunette the loss of a close family member is such a shock especially when it is unexpected. Do take care.
To all those feeling under the weather I hope you feel better soon. Have a good Saturday everyone x
It's a lovely bright sunny morning here in Northampton, so wishing everyone a good morning, especially Nana and her daughter.
Will potter a bit this morning, have a go at the crossword in the paper, cut the back grass, and then after lunch sit in the sunny garden with the cats and my book club book, and perhaps a drink... And that's it for today. Might even wear my shorts!
Hope the day is kind to all.
Good morning from a slowly brightening NE.
Out to lunch today to celebrate friend's big birthday, it was two weeks ago but this was the first date we could both manage.
Disturbed night and I am feeling tired.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Nanabanana's DD.
Condolences Brunette 
Good morning from a dry and bright N I. Nothing special on today. Pantglas1 and Urmstongran , I hope the weather picks up in Spain as we are flying to Malaga this day week for a few weeks. Enjoy your Saturday everyone.
Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Bright, windy and cold today. Better put on a woolly.
So sorry to hear your sadness Brunette
Hugs too for Grannybanana very hard to watch children suffering.
Our town has lots of open doors today and tomorrow where you can go inside places normally closed or expensive. I'll be helping with one.

Good morning from Shropshire,looks like it’s going to be a sunny day.
Today is the start of Heritage Open days where places not usually open to the public open their doors for a couple of days.Not sure where we will visit,so many to choose from.
Sending my good wishes to you and your daughter nanabanana and wishing her a speedy recovery?
Brunette,thinking of you and sending loving thoughts to you in your loss?
Morning Mick and all. Hope all goes well for your daughter Nana. Quiet day for me also packing for my return to the coast in Essex tomorrow. Maybe some sitting in the garden if sun stays out. Have a good day everyone.
Good morning all from a piddly wet Aberdeenshire...not a day for going to the woodies, but shall have to take the mutt at some time.
Had a long phone conversation yesterday with my co-grannie...she has to go to the Beatson in Glasgow everyday for the next six weeks for radiotherapy so we discussed all our ailments!
Am off to a felting class tomorrow and hope to come back with a hielan' coo.
Hope it stops raining soon as I have a heap of plums still to pick...they are disappointing this year, not like last year's lush crop, so it could be a jam/chutney making day.
Have a good day everyone.
Good Morning from a bright but cold Fife. Battling today with bereavement of a very close family member who died yesterday. Not sure what I shall do today just can't think straight. Nanabanana1 keep thinking positive, I'm sure all will be well.
Good morning everyone from Malaga where we had the most spectacular thunderstorm at 4am with rain of biblical proportions! Damp, grey and very quiet here now - eerily so with no birdsong.
A family member, similar age, is coming out to join me for my last 4 nights here. I will go to the airport at 2pm to meet her. She’s looking forward to her long weekend as she hasn’t been to this part of Spain before and we plan to be out and about. I hope the weather improves for her visit!!
Best wishes nanabanana regarding your daughter’s op today. Hopefully she will make good progress as dragonfly is doing. ?? for you both dear ladies.
Hoping Saturday is good to us all whether we have plans or none. x
Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Dry here in South Yorkshire at the moment. It is DH’s birthday today so I am cooking his favourite lunch and then he will be off with my son, who is also lunching with us, to the football. No doubt a pint or two will be taken (he’s not driving!). Me? I have a nice quiet afternoon to do nothing! Have a good day folks!
Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.
Sending your daughter good wishes again nanabanana. I am now nearly 2 weeks on and amazed apart from the odd setback, how things are going.
I do find I can only do one thing a day though so a little shopping in M&S and coffee then home for a rest.
Good morning all from Glasgow, not sure what the weather is doing.
Really crazy dreams last night, the best bit, the M&S outlet in our town had a massive sale and had so many DESIGNER (?) items, instead of the usual rubbish, that there were rails out on the street, the worst bit, I couldn't get anywhere near them. 
Nanabanana1 , a very difficult day for you, I hope all goes well for your daughter. As mums, we would take on their pain ourselves, rather than see our children ill. 
Kitty. enjoy your weekend.
Have a good day, whatever your plans.
