Good Morning Thursday 8th May 2025

Morning Mick, morning All. A cloudy start to the day, sun forecast later.

Thoroughly enjoyed our wander yesterday, very necessary to settle a more than adequate breakfast. Mr C was very happy.

I seem to be a year older today, another 1948 baby. Mr C was foolish enough to ask what I’d like to do. No thought needed, we’re off to Longleat. Sunday there is a family meal. Couldn’t ask for more.

I’m not surprised you’re tired grandmattie, you’re always so busy you certainly put me to shame. Oh heck kalu, you’re not alone it’s the sort of thing that happens here

Thoughts are with everyone managing challenges. Hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Good morning from Malta where it is sunny and a high of 26°C is forecast.

The boys were no trouble yesterday and I got them to nursery on time for their Mother’s Day activity.

As I was home a bit earlier, I planted my recently purchased petunias and a couple of others which I don’t know the name of!

My back was breaking by the time I’d finished and I couldn’t help but think of karma and marvel at how she puts in such long hours at the allotment.

No nursery today so will probably take the boys out somewhere.

Have a good day all.☀️

Good morning from a fine, sunny Torbay.

Yesterday, we enjoyed a well prepared talk about China from one of our Toads members. She and her husband had lived there for two years and she kept us entertained for over an hour as she described incidents from their time there.

Not sure what today will bring as DH is still asleep but we might hop on a bus to another coastal town. We are lucky to have a good bus service here with three an hour in each direction and other routes not far away.

Well wishes to those who are struggling with their health and happy days to holidaymakers. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from yet another dry day in Bristol. I’m starting to wish we could have some of the “sweet April showers”.
I’m wiped out after a frantic week. Yesterday was no exception.
After the usual morning prayers, I hosted the FAB cafe. One of the AgeUK hosts has had a bad year with a broken arm, something to her back and now has developed plantar fasciitis, poor thing. Not terribly well attended after last week’s good numbers.
I rushed home, had lunch and put my feet up for a few minutes before going off again to the Townwomen’s guild meeting - a short bit about Parkinson’s, the a slightly longer one from a beekeeper. She was quite amusing but didn’t really go into the actual beekeeping, more her minor adventures.
Anyway, I didn’t stay on after as I wanted 10 minutes to catch my breath before rushing on to DD’s to keep an eye on the girls. Iris was out riding, with her uncle and didn’t come home until we were about to leave for dinner.
A very expensive pizza parlour and happy girls later, we went home. DGD1 went up to do her homework, she has a music exam today, Iris and I watched a bit of tv before she went to bed.
The parents came home after an enjoyable afternoon at the Palace. They both looked very smart, lots of photos for the girls.
I fell into bed, exhausted and unusually had a reasonable night.
Today, I’ve just got tai chi. Phew!
I hope mr. FGT feels better. Yes, sadly cancer is always, always at the back of your mind. MD, try not to do too much, enjoy what you can do. Everyone else have a good day.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning all. The sun is up in Glasgow with a promising pleasant day ahead.

I decided to wash down the window frames behind my bed yesterday carefully balancing a basin of water on one of the cills but the inevitable happened when the basin tipped and soaked the bed! At least it was a warm day, with windows wide open to dry off the mattress! I slept in another bedroom. The window frames are sparkling though.

Washing machine on with the soaked bed linen, soon to be hung out in the sun. Hairdressers this afternoon and a visit to the alterations tailor as I need a few things altered. On return, ready to spend the rest of the afternoon in the garden.

Best wishes to all for a smooth day including those with continued worries and health issues.

Good morning Mick from the chamberpot queen ☕️ and here’s the view we enjoyed last night from Penmaenmawr Quarry of Llandudno and the Great Orme (PG Towers sits majestically in the foreground…🤣)

A quiet day finishing another book is planned and some bolognese to be prepared for tonight’s delight 😋 before sallying forth to the Bingo for another go at filling our Jolly coffers!

I shall have a peek 👃 at your doings later x
