Good Morning Friday 16th August 2024

Morning from sunny S Hants, 16, we had more rain yesterday, much needed.
Where are you off to tomorrow Mick?
I hope that move continues smoothly brook
Yesterday we had a free hour of electricity from Octopus, so the washing machine was busy and the oven.
Tesco delivery this afternoon and pub catch up tonight.

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast.
Two friends are moving house at the moment, I don’t envy then, particularly as my house resembles the V&A museum in terms of stuff. One FaceTimed me last night as I lay in bed watching my new tv and she had a good moan re job and moving. The other friend arrives tomorrow for an overnight stay, a break from packing boxes.

Today to the optician to order my contact lenses. It’s a complicated prescription, so better to go in with it rather than over the telephone, also a food shop.

Glad to hear the news from LLFL and baubles yesterday and thoughts to all🌺

Happy birthday to Grammaretto.

Grammaretto 🎂🍾 Enjoy!

Wishing you a brilliant birthday Grammaretto 🎂🎉

🎂 Many Happy Returns Grammaretto have a lovely day 🥳

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle, there are clouds on the horizon though...
Yesterday we had heavy rain most of the day...so depressing and gloomy. We finally had sun in the late afternoon. I couldn't settle to anything very useful so mostly read my book.
Today I am going to drive out on a round of errands, I need this and that from here and there! I may well be out in the garden later if it's still fine.

Happy Birthday Grammaretto, wishing you an enjoyable day.

And have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a sunny NE where it is cooler, the heating came on during the night.
Yesterday was a happy day for the family, both GD and her boyfriend got their A level results and both have their places at their chosen universities.
My sister visited during the afternoon, she turned up with pot plants and told me they were for my kitchen window sill. She really does not know me, I never have flowers or plants in the house because most of the family have hay fever.
Nothing planned for today so maybe some time with my book.
Happy Birthday Grammaretto 💐

Happy birthday, Grammaretto and hope we all have a good day. We are promised sunshine all day so after the oldies’ coffee morning I plan to read outside. Am waiting for a man to come to investigate printer problems - there is always something not working, or so it seems.

Morning from the edge of South Lanarkshire where I am still in residence. Little dog is no worse at the moment, it’s been a peaceful week. DD is taking the morning off today and taking me to buy and ‘sort out’a new phone, a feat which I am ashamed to say is completely beyond me.

Pleased to read about your DGC successful A level results Gingster and Liberty and your granddaughter’s decision to decide on and manage her change of course independently of her parents Liberty, it augurs well for her.

Happy birthday Grammeretto! I hope you enjoy your day.

Hope the day trips go well too Mick and NannyJan, York is lovely.

Wishing everyone a Good Friday.

Good morning from a sunny Glasgow…at the moment!
A lovely day yesterday with the arrival of DS3 and his girlfriend. We took them for a nice Italian meal with tiramisu to die for! 😋
Today they leave to go down the coast but want us to go with them for lunch…would love to but also have to strip their bed for return of DS1 and his family tonight. This 90th party tmrw is going to be lovely but boy is it tiring with the revolving door of sons/visitors….and in typical boy fashion no one is thinking of the bed stripping involved but me! 😬
Enjoy ur day!

Good morning all from a sunny Black country, torrential rain when we left our friends yesterday evening which made for an unpleasant motorway journey home.
Today we are going on the Birmingham bear hunt with the boys then back to theirs for dinner/tea, we will be looking after them this evening date night for mum and dad.
Happy birthday Grammaretto 🎂🎉.
Enjoy your Friday everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️

Happy Birthday Grammaretto enjoy your special day! 💐❤️🎉🥂

Good Morning from Lancashire! Bit fresh and cool now - it was sunny when I got up!! But clouded over now.
We have a few days to ourselves as the GCs are all away on holiday -so can sort the toy box, clean up generally and just chill - safe in the knowledge that we can do exactly whatever we want when we want!! I thought I might have a lie in this morning but still woke up with the dickie birds - old habits die hard!!
So got up anyway and have had a blissful time this morning with a brew and my laptop. Sorted a few bills. Put in a review for a shocking hotel that we didn't stay in! Fussed the cat - who disappears normally at the sound of the GCs. Now waiting for the 'Blind Man' to come and give a quote for replacement blinds. Might just get another brew and carry on surfing - life is peaceful today!!

Just checked back in, congratulations to your A level candidates as well harrigran!

Happy birthday Grammaretto 🎂🥂
Yes, the summerhouse is still under construction <sigh>, it needs the roof finishing (it is watertight) and the interior done.
The carpenter is doing his best, fitting me in when he can, but I am getting impatient and more than a little fed up with how long everything is taking. The whole sorry saga started in April 🤷🏼‍♀️ He is doing a great job but……….

Good morning all, happy birthday grammaretto and congratulations to all the exam passers, DD's NewMan's middle son among them. What an exciting time!
A grey day here on the Angus coast, and decidedly cool. The birds are feasting on the rowan's and I fear autumn has crept in quietly.
A lovely morning at tai chi, but boy was I tired afterwards! I had an 'out-for-the-count' nap in the afternoon. I'm going to have to learn not to go shopping after classes.
Today is just a pottering, this 'n that day while I search for my mojo which is definitely in hiding.
Enjoy your away days tomorrow, Mick and NanyJ, and everyone enjoy today x

A late good morning to all. Sunny here but thankfully a little cooler.
Your comments on your neighbour’s sycamore tree Georgesgran struck a note with me. Our then neighbours planted a eucalyptus tree and a bamboo right next to our fence a few years back. They’ve since moved and the next neighbour kindly allowed my DH to remove the eucalyptus (it was pushing over our fence). The bamboo remains …….
DGS1 had excellent A level results and is currently abroad with his family, as is my DD with her family, whereas DH and I will be going to the IOW for a few days later on.

Happy Birthday, Grammaretto. Congratulations to the students.

Thankyou for all the lovely birthday greetings . I am having a really nice day. I had an unexpected visit from DGS with his mum. He played happy birthday to me on the church organ. He has just begun learning but sounds wonderful to me.
Shame about the Summer house Roses. It's been a long time since my ceiling fell in and the repair process is taking forever. 4 months so far.

I’m very late with this.
Wishing you a Happy Birthday Grammaretto 🎂🎉
