Morning All

Back nearly a week now from our travels to Borneo and the rain forest (great, but soooo humid!). I acquired an horrible cold on the plane home, but the holiday was well worth it.

We had a little much needed rain last night but it’s all dry out there again and no rain forecast for today. Perhaps tomorrow.

Nothing planned for today. In the last week we’ve completed the sale of our sailing boat and she’s gone to her new home, traded in our car and caravan, collected our new camper van and had a night’s trial in her. Its a bit different from the caravan. And yesterday we had a lovely birthday tea with DGD2 and family. It’s been busy!

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it’s wet out but the sky is a beautiful streaky blue and pink. It chucked it down during the night but the sun is trying to shine now.

I have an appointment with the dental hygienist mid morning then this afternoon I’m meeting a good friend for coffee/wine in a local bar. I’ve not seen her for 2 months as I’ve been in Spain since the end of July, so we’ll have a lot to catch up on!

Such a shame about your planned holiday Vena11 ? as you say, Thomas Cook’s demise will leave a lot of people upset and the government will have to step in to bring thousands of people home too - what a mess and a logistical nightmare.

Hope Monday is kind to us all whether we have plans or none. x

Good morning from foggy North Yorkshire.
I’ve had a lovely weekend with the family here then out last evening to the village pub quiz.
Up early to go and help at the cooking course again. Making shepherds pie today.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning Beechnut and All.

Thanks Beechnut for starting up today for Mick.

I hope you are settling into your new home Nannytopsy.

Catching up on lots of paperwork this morning then off to Rummykub this afternoon.

Suspect the rain is on its way ☹️

Good morning Beechnut Nanny and all. The sky is bright in Cheshire after some very heavy rain last night. It sounded like a train coming through.

My DD is flying home today, and I have to get her to Manchester airport, then I think I'll take myself off to Knutsford and treat myself to lunch.

Enjoy your day everyone. x

Good morning from Bristol early school run and pick up for me today.
Wondering now what to do as our celebration holiday for my brother 70th birthday in October has gone. Thomas Cook I feel so so sorry for the people sitting at airports hoping to go on holiday and people who were going away with family for their weddings, very sad for them

Hope everyone has a great day .

Good Morning Nanny and all who follow.
It’s cloudy and feels warm on Severnside.
A day of pottering and putting things away after my weekend.
Will try to finish my crochet item though it’s not going well.
Sending you all good wishes for the day ?
