On the health front OK at the moment .
Take Care,

Good morning from a drizzly Suffolk where we’ve obviously had some rain overnight,the main effect of which has been not to water the garden but batter the roses.
I have my monthly last remaining work related activity tomorrow….only a morning meeting. I shall spend today reading a mass of papers. I keep thinking of resigning but I seem to be somewhat reluctant to retire completely. I enjoy and value what I do and really like my fellow members. Perhaps when I’m 80 which will be soon enough!
I haven’t yet read your posts but I hope all can have the best day possible.
What IS the problem with HQ?
Yes, some posters can be controversial, but I can’t see anything problematic in any of urms’ posts…
Perhaps sadly she’ll go the way of many a poster, with no recourse to justice. How dreadful!
Good morning from sunny Lancashire. There is a blackbird singing outside my window, a beautiful sound.
I have had very little sleep so I am going to try and sleep now.
Happy Tuesday 🌻
Good morning from an overcast NE, no rain forecast.
Yesterday was GD2's 15th birthday, she went to the Turner art exhibition in Newcastle.
This afternoon I have a doctors appointment, hopefully he has my blood test results. My sister is going with me.
Haven't heard from DD so am assuming she made it back to Brussels without incident. Last week a TGV hit a tractor on a level crossing which caused delays.
Have a good day.
Good morning all from very gloomy Wiltshire.
A momentous day yesterday as DD2 and her fiancé got married. It was a quick registry office wedding followed by a lunch and then champagne back at our house. Only both sets of parents, DGD3 and DGS2 attended. They were unable to find a registrar who was available to officiate on Saturday when the main event takes place at an organic farm on the Berkshire Downs, even though the venue was booked nearly a year ago. That role will be now be taken on by DS who I’m sure will do a great job as a celebrant. I’d like to say the GCs were on their best behaviour but can’t!
Today DGD3 is back at school locally and DGD2 starts in Year 7 at her comprehensive. I was told it has the largest catchment area in England at 60 square miles because it’s very rural. Her brother goes into year 9.
Hope your knee gets some benefit soon Ashcombe. Nice to see returning posters. Hope you had a lovely time with your family in Spain FGT. Have a good day everyone.

Just received this, if I am consigned to the dog house oh well!
That's such a shame 😥
Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow, but it is only 8°C.
We had torrential rain all day yesterday, not the best of weather, when you have a sixteen month old to entertain. The journey home was horrendous, with floods, temp sets of traffic lightscand a red light jumper nearly hitting us.
What on earth is going on with Urms? What a shame.
Have a good day folks, what ever your plans.
Good morning all from a dull Black country bin men have just arrived.
Hairdressers today and then later we will go for a carvery, another voucher has appeared in our inbox for a free meal.
Have a good day everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️
Redcar I am only 20 minutes from Hyde Hall.
Love it there as do the GC (especially rolling down the big hill at the back (wild part by the bees))
Good morning everyone from Severnside
That’s glum news GG 😳
Good morning everyone from mid essex where it’s grey and damp, but mild.
Yesterday I went to Hyde Hall (local RHS gardens) and had a wander around. Some lovely late summer flowers out, but signs that the gardens are suffering from lack of rain, like all our gardens. Then a good look at all the lovely things in the shop, I always buy cards and presents there.
In the afternoon my son in law brought DGDs to see me before they go back to school today.
I may go to the garden centre this morning to get some winter flowering plants for the garden pots. This afternoon I’ll see my friend with dementia.
I hope you have a good day with your grandsons grandmabatty.
Have a good day everyone.

What on earth is going on here? I shall miss FGS/Urms. The moderators appear to be acting very oddly.

What a crying shame!!!
Good morning all from a damp North Leicestershire. I think the overnight rain has stopped.
We saw DD1 and DGD1 yesterday. DD1 was very tired but feeling better.
Choir starts up again today - always fun and this evening we have a neighbours get-together here. We were hoping to sit in the garden but will probably end up inside. I love these evenings - no effort beyond opening crisps etc and pouring drinks. And, lots of chat.
Have the best day possible everyone.

good morning everyone from a dull north yorkshire. Got the washer going but cant tell yet whether it is going to brighten up or rain! Hope it is the former!. My laptop has gone into some odd format and so today I am taking it to someone who is up in these things to see if it can be set back to how I like it (and know what to do with it) . Its not that I think it has been hacked or anything but I am hesitant to try it on my own in case I wipe important stuff off by mistake. So hopefully it will be set up in a better way and I shall learn a bit more about how to set it up myself. Went in some trepidation yesterday to make an appointment at the dentist, only to find that the dentist that I know and trust has retired and so I shall have to have someone new and now have to ring up a central place to book it cant book it when I was actually stood there. I am a dental phobic and so from going in making an effort to do things properly came out with my heart racing and feeling very uptight. Calmed down now and so will have to sort it out today. Hope the honey whizzing goes well and wish everyone a good day
Morning Mick, morning All from an overcast corner of Somerset. Forecast tells me it will rain this morning and clear by lunch time. We’ll see.
Recycling centre visit accomplished between showers yesterday then we spent the day pootling round stores looking for different curtains for the living room. Will order some later today.
Matters domestic will fill the day. We’re in desperate need of a clean, there is ironing to do and a grocery delivery will arrive.
Good wishes to all the young ones changing schools. Two of ours are anxious enough about beginning a new academic year in the same school. Neither like change.
Hope Tuesday is gentle with us all.
Good morning everyone from a grey and overcast Northampton, rain forecast this morning. Was fancying a lie-in this morning after yesterday's early start, but woke at 6, and just couldn't get off again.
After yoga yesterday my friend and I invited the class to join us for coffee in a newly opened cafe close by. To our surprise the whole class came, all eight of us! The cafe was clean and bright, the coffee good, and the socialising wonderful!
May wash the towels this morning as it promises to be a dry afternoon, and will also change the bedding so that will be ready to wash first thing tomorrow.
Hope to join my walk group after lunch for some exercise and good company, not to mention the home-made cake at the end of it...
Hoping it brightens up for all today.
Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry and bright, unlike yesterday when it rained all day
I’m looking forward to a volunteering session this morning followed by lunch and then I’ll be home later this afternoon. Hopefully I’ll get the grass cut if it’s dried out
Hope today goes well with the boys grandmabatty and good luck to your DGD as she starts high school Ash
Welcome back to fgt 😀
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐
Morning everyone it’s grey here in S E Essex.
It’s the 9yr olds last day of the holidays today so I am taking him and The Imp to a very large Soft Play Centre. Yesterday we went to the Beach, ended up in the fun fair and amusements (I am such a pushover over 💙🤣)
The builders are here to plaster and re-wire one of the guest bedrooms (started in April but stopped due to structural issues) The monitoring company are also here to monitor
Wishing you all a happy day 🙋♀️
Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It’s a rather gloomy start to our South Yorkshire day, but it’s supposed to be dry at some point. I had a very quiet day yesterday after my stomach upset, and ate a light diet. It seems to be back to normal now🤞🏻. I was invited out to eat in the evening with DD and the menfolk but thought it best to say no. There will be other times. A visit to the garden centre today and a walk round a nearby park should just about sort my day out.
Have the best day you can folks.
Good morning from an overcast Malta where the high is still in the mid thirties.
Had a nice surprise yesterday when DD3 asked if I would keep littlest while she went shopping with his brother. He was utterly adorable and surprises me with how much he is understanding. All of a sudden he’s gone from a baby to a little boy, if you know what I mean!
DD1 also called round for an hour or so. She had been kayaking in the morning and her photos looked so lovely and tranquil.
I went to bed early and set the alarm for 2.15 so I could watch the tennis. It didn’t start until after 3am so I could have had longer but never mind, it was a good match. I’m now tired out and feeling like crawling back into bed but I will go and shower then do some cleaning.
I can guess who you are meeting Mizuna, how lucky for you both.
Best of luck to your DGD Ash, it’s quite a big step isn’t it. My DGD also started high school recently and seems to have settled well.
Wishing a good day to all. ☀️
Good morning from an overcast Torbay but at least it’s not raining which it was for much of yesterday.
Today my DGD (the dancer) in Cheshire starts attending high school and is very excited. Unusually, it’s a comprehensive just for girls. Her older brother already attends the boys' school. Both were once grammar schools and have good reputations.
I hope your DGS2 is calmer today, Grandmabatty and everyone has as good a day as possible. I’ll be helping with Props this morning.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire
I will be helping OH as best I can today as he draws the honey off from his hives. He will set off this morning to retrieve the frames and bring them home. He has hired a sort of spinning device and he will put the honey into some large drums. He will only put a little into jars and will store the rest until he is ready to ‘jar’ it. A very warm, sticky day looms!
Have a good day and it was nice to see a newly refreshed Urms return!
