Good Morning Sunday 7th July 2024

Grey and cool again, summer has really abandoned us this year I fear. Lovely concert last night in our beautiful church, given by two local choirs who sang a great range of songs. Service today is in the next village so will be there, then back for the tennis, hoping Emma Radacanu can emulate the English football team and keep our hopes alive at Wimbledon. Hope everyone has a good enough day.

Good morning and it’s bright but chilly here in Essex.
We had thought about heading for our Suffolk bolt-hole today , but the weather and being around for Dd has thwarted us. All being well, we’ll go next week . 🤞.

Yesterday seemed a long day, I couldn’t really be bothered to get stuck into anything and the frequent downpours added to the lethargy. I managed two shortish dog walks to blow away the cobwebs. Tennis is amazing but I can only watch so much!

Dd and DGD will come for lunch. DGD used to love her swimming lessons, but since going up a class finds it a struggle. She doesn’t want to go! What a shame!

Liberty what a wonderful trip for your DGD. She’ll remember it all her life.

Bellasnanna well done for all your hard work. 👍. You must be very pleased with yourself.

Safe journey ‘home’ Ash.
Mizuna patience and care will get you there! 😉.

I’ve just found a big fat slug on my new dahlia plant. He’s already eaten a small hydrangea. I’m afraid I’ve sprinkled the slug pellets around. Enough isenough!

Take care and enjoy your Sundays.🌸

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, but showers are forecast from mid-morning onwards, so it will be another day indoors.

Did not do a lot yesterday, except make scones in the afternoon; I was pleased with how they turned out and enjoyed one with butter and raspberry jam - sadly I didn't have any cream, but when I was at the shops on Thursday I didn't know I was going to make any! I shall enjoy another couple today, and the rest are already in the freezer.

No plans for today. Roast chicken for dinner tonight.

Wishing everyone peace and happiness today.

Grammaretto you must be thoroughly fed up, to put it mildly, I really hope something will be found and fixed today. Ouch Georgesgran go gently today, no gymnastics please.

Morning all from a chilly S E Essex, we have rain forever for later ☔️

DD and family are coming for a late lunch (6ish, roast beef), not really nice enough for the GC to play in the water but will see what they feel like doing.

Will catch up with your news now 🙋‍♀️

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers, northwest coast. Well, this ‘summer’ is a drag, today I’m off to lunch and a gallery by train and wondering if I’m going to be warm enough in my new long cotton skirt. Can’t think of anything else to wear, so will put some semi opaque tights underneath it🙄

Yesterday very quiet, washing outside in the breeze and did my once every three months bit of ironing. FaceTime with old friend who only talked about herself and finished the Bridgerton series in the evening. Pleased to hear my DD’s ear has unblocked itself. As she flies and two lots of antibiotics hadn’t made a difference, I was pleased to hear her news.

Hope you make good progress Mizuna, such a bother Grammaretto and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning from autumn in summer on the Kent coast.

I have a whole new avian report as I gaze out of the window at the receding tide. So oyster catchers, red shanks, cormorants, black headed gulls and myriad others all entertaining me.

Enjoy your day all

Peace and harmony

Good morning from a ‘dry at the moment’ Oxfordshire after torrential overnight rain, I was awake anyway, but it was very noisy.

A quick trip out after lunch to restock with bird seed and pop into Aldi to see if their version of Marmite is like the old recipe for proper Marmite, which has changed for the worst even though the makers say they haven’t changed the recipe.
It doesn’t bother me as I can’t stand the taste, but MrOops loved his Marmite. I’m sure I’ll find other thing to fill my .

We will then collect the Dog for her overnight stay.

In the meantime I’ll sort out the airing cupboard and maybe give it a coat of paint, the bathroom will be started on soon so it might be a good idea to do it now.

Safe travels to those on the move, happy holidays for those away and hugs for those who are sad or unwell.
Let’s hope we get some sun and some warmth today.

Fill my basket, I wondered why ‘basket’ was at her bottom of my post, it had moved itself, honest.

I’ve been reading all your messages and thought I’d join in. Good
Morning everyone from another Suffolk nan. All those that are travelling today have a great and safe journey. Happy holidays. It sounds like weee all doing similar things when we can between the rain! Weeding gardening etc. I’m currently lazing in bed thinking I need to move before I seize up completely. Nothing interesting to comment about for today, dog to walk, garden to tidy then that’s it, although unknown I’ll be in the go all day. Doing 11,000 to 15,000 steps every day when I’m
Not working. I’ve read that some are having pork today which has my taste buds going so that will

Welcome aboard, JHT65!

Or even JTH65!!😁

Good morning all from Severnside.

I bought nearly everything I wanted yesterday and booked myself onto a workshop next month. I’m looking forward to that. I made a nice sandwich for my tea and settled down to watch a film about a horse.

Today I’ll tidy up the patio. It’s not raining at the moment so I hope it keeps away while I do the tidying. I might do some sewing. I’m making myself a long dress.

Have a good day everyone 🌷

Good morning from a cloudy breezy Co Armagh
It was sunny when I took my coffee and crochet outside , but I might have to give up and trail everything back to the living room,
No Mass in our chapel on the first Sunday of the month , so candles will be lit later

Welcome * JTH65* 👋
