Good morning all from a very grey Northampton; it looks as though we had some rain overnight. There was a lovely sunrise earlier, which quickly disappeared.

Yoga this morning with a coffee and chat afterwards. Might start swapping summer and winter wardrobes around this afternoon.

Not a good day rugbywise yesterday, as Saints lost, so we are virtually out of the competition we won last season. And it felt really cold, so winter parka and thermals on for the next match I think. Still I had a lovely warming hotpot and a glass of red to come home to!

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Good Morning to Mick and all.
Overnight rain here on S Welsh coast after a lovely breezy day yesterday, did loads of washing.
A little shopping later this morning and a visit to a nice coffee shop is on the cards for us.
Hope you are ok this morning gilly and not too overwhelmed by that Monday morning feeling.

Morning from a dull but dry Fife. Rained all day yesterday so hopefully drier today. No plans as yet for today but won't sit on my laurels wink will find something to do. DD starts her work today after 14 months Mat leave - oh dear sad. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's blowing a hoolie.
Nothing special planned so a quiet day indoors . Have a good Monday everybody.

Good morning all from a relatively mild, but windy Glasgow, it's 13 degrees. DH has abandoned his golf, so things must be bad. This is the man who plays in fog with orange golf balls! grin

After a very hectic weekend with DGD, (including an indoor bear hunt, complete with nets and head torch), I plan to spend the day lying in a darkened room.
Unknown to me, DD and future SIL had let themselves in the back door and hid under the table with a bear, in preparation for the bear hunt.
I wandered in to the kitchen, unaware they were there and nearly found myself back in the coronary care unit, as they jumped out!!! ?

Thank goodness for my daughter and her fiance, they took over, made lunch and entertained the wee one, actually it may have been the other way around.
My sister in law came round with all the ribbons for DS1's 40th birthday present with her son, who was up from London, so that was a nice surprise, as I hadn't seen him since his dad died.
My son has reverted back to childhood and wanted his wife to wrap his new golf clubs in ribbons and of course his wife didn't know how to make the very large bow required! I'm trying to bite my tongue!!!

However, some good came out of it, I persuaded my daughter to take my summer clothes up the loft and get my heavier things down. I worry when DH goes up, he still thinks he is the fit, handsome young man I married. wink
My future SIL couldn't fathom out why the winter clothes were in boxes, labelled, Summer clothes. grin.
I knew what the labels meant, that's all that matters! wink

Thank you for your kind wishes, Nina, I promise to be more upbeat tomorrow! I'm having a wallowing day! grin

Have a good day folks, Gilly, I hope you are feeling a wee bit better today, you are a remarkable woman. Auntieflo, remember what I said about doing as you are told and for all those with worries, flowers.

Good morning all- still dark here in north Wales and like some of you I’m sitting up in bed with my chamber pot of tea awaiting sunrise!

Not a lot planned today- might clear out a cupboard or two. It amazes me how they seem to fill themselves!

Have a good day everyone x

Good Morning from a dull and rainy Black Country. Just back from taking partner to train station for work!

Back to earth with a bump! Arrived back from Croatia yesterday afternoon, lovely country, people very friendly and so clean...no litter anywhere!

Today finish unpacking and washing, and hope to pop over to seem Mum this afternoon, as we were away for 2 weeks.

Wishing everyone a good day

Good morning - a magnificent red sky here in Leicestershire which as the saying goes does not bode well.

Going to see mum today and take shampoo and conditioner so she can have her weekly hairdo.

Then to M&S to pick up a couple of orders.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark, damp and draughty corner of Somerset. Catch up day today for me. Nothing exciting. Hope Monday is kind to everyone.

Good morning everyone.
Just light enough to see that the sky is clear over Kent.
I need to do some paperwork today and a bit of tidying.
Have a good day everyone. I hope Marydoll and anyone else poorly is feeling a little better today.

Good morning from Bristol. still dark here I think we had rain through the night,
Just about to go out for my usual school run, then probably some house work before we go back for the school pick up .
Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning Mick Beechnut and All.

Snap Beechnut just had my first sip of tea and will also watch the sunrise here in South Bucks. Hope you can get yourself back on track Mick since your hols.

I am trying to decide if I will go to Keep Fit or not. Had a rather queasy feeling yesterday with a low lying headache and I still feel a bit dodgy. Maybe my cuppa and a whiz through my IPad will get things back to normal.

Have a good week folks.

Good Morning Mick and all who follow.

It’s dark and wet on Severnside this morning. I’m just sitting up in bed with my first cup of tea with the curtains open and I shall be able to see the sunrise.

I will probably do some housework today and then have a play about with my craft item purchases from yesterday.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and have a good day ?
