Good morning Mick and everyone. Oh what a wet morning here in Cheshire! Had a text to say my windows will be cleaned today. grin

Just seen a jay in my garden. They are magnificent, but just as dangerous to little birds as their relatives, the magpies. Somewhere out there are the two wrens who vacated their nest in my garden last week.

Today I will go to the hairdresser for the first time in eight weeks. She will work wonders on this thatch.

Sorry you're unwell Bellasnana but I know what you mean about not letting DD down. A little pampering when you get home perhaps.

Good luck with the prep for tomorrow Mick. Enjoy your trip out today.

Have a good day everyone. Special thoughts for those with worries. flowers

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° and wet. There's been quite a lot of rain overnight. It's not raining at the moment but the ground is wet and the windows are rain marked. Bellasnana I hope the boys are good for you today. Baubles that's a lovely view. It looks like a nice place.
Yesterday was busy, between the boys and working in the school library. It was obvious that no-one had tidied it in my three weeks absence! I spent an hour and a half in it and was quite happy. The day was spent pottering until I picked up the boys. I then took dgs1 to football training and unfortunately dgs2 fell asleep in the car. He always wakes up badly when that happens. The wee scone got so upset when he woke up at his house as he wanted to stay at mine. He then didn't want me to go home.
Today is picking up the boys then giving them breakfast and taking them to school. I'll do more clearing and tidying in the boys room. I had cleared out stuff yesterday (a garage) and dgs2 decided he wanted to play with it 🙄. So it's back in the bedroom. I'm not sure what dinner will be. I need to get my freezer stuff from dd, so it will be something from there. Have a good day all

Morning Mick, morning All from a wet corner of Somerset, some strong gusts of wind in the mix.

Yesterday morning was less enjoyable than the afternoon Chi-Me session which went as well as any first class can. We’re all beginners which I think helps.

One hospital appointment was eventually secured, it’s three months overdue. I was horrified to be told they are so busy they only book repeat appointments when patients phone to ask why one hasn’t been sent. Worrying for both hospital and patients. The other much needed and six months overdue appointment couldn’t be addressed other than with a message on the secretary’s ansaphone. Can only hope it’s responded to, a recent email wasn’t. Moving on to try to get through the bits and pieces list computer said a very firm no. It was two hours of machine vs corner before it gave in.

Today I have a hair trim appointment this morning, this afternoon I’ll trundle off with Mr C who has both an audiology appointment and an eye test. One of those weeks I fear. Oh well, keep smiling and carry on carrying on.

With thoughts to those with personal mountains to climb. Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from the Essex coast. It's sunny and bright at the moment but we are forecast rain later.
We are having all the white lines redone in our small car park today so I hope the rain keeps off.
I have lots of bits and bobs to do today. Tomorrow I am off to DD1's in Leamington for a few days.
I'm looking forward to seeing the girls. S was back in hospital on Sunday night but home now. She has exams from Wednesday to Friday so fingers crossed 🤞 she remains well enough to do them.
Take care everyone, best wishes to all xx

Good morning from a breezy and wet Torbay.

I woke up in the early hours, misread the clock and thought it was morning. I actually made tea then realised it was still dark! Duh!

I hope you can take a cold remedy of some kind to help you through the day, Bellasnana. Summer colds are horrid.

What bad luck regarding your walk, Greyduster. Disappointing.

I’m off to Props this morning then a visit to the hairdresser this afternoon.

Have as good a day as circumstances allow. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning all, it’s dry here in South Lanarkshire.

After dropping the children off at school and nursery yesterday morning DH and I treated ourselves to coffee and croissants at a favourite cafe, the photo is the view from my seat. We then spent the day tidying and weeding their very large front garden before picking up the children. They weren’t in the best of humours though so the couple of hours till teatime were fairly challenging, the joys of little children. grin

It’s my day in the charity shop and I’m going out for a meal with a couple of friends this evening. We will just walk over to our local hotel where the food is usually good.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Morning Mick and everyone.

I have been awake since 1.45am doesn’t bode well for my busy day ahead.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Bellasnana summer colds are horrid.

Have a good day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where we have had a lot of rain overnight by the look of it, and it hasn’t stopped yet. After the gym yesterday I had intended to drive straight out into the Peak District for a walk but when I went to get something out of the boot I saw that my walking shoes weren’t there and knew I couldn’t manage in what I already had on my feet so had to call it off. As I was already halfway there it wasn’t worth going back for them. I drove home and made a start on the low maintenance heather bed I’m making next to the drive, putting eight mostly summer heathers in. When they are bedded in, I will add a few complementary plants to finish it off. I have winter heathers on the rockery in the middle of the front lawn and it doesn’t take them long to fill their space and make a lovely tapestry.
School holidays are over so I’m back volunteering this afternoon for a couple of hours. I hope to walk there if it’s not wet.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Morning Mick and all who follow from a very wet 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 - no doubt the gardens are rejoicing but I can’t get my forest breathing done today 😡 so am snuggled on the settee with my morning constitutional ☕️

After a lovely quiet weekend of walks and wandering around the PG Towers grounds we will have a day out in Llandudno with lunch at our favourite Thai Noodle bar before popping to see The Salt Path in the cinema - it doesn’t get brilliant reviews but I quite like the actors so worth a go 🤗

How lovely for you to visit Caernarfon Susan when the Andalusia sailing ship is in harbour and lovely weather too!

Sorry to read of so many unwell, especially those with stuff to attend to…yes Bellasnana it can’t be easy with lively boys and a stinking cold but a hot toddy 🥃 and early to bed when the handover is done 👍

I’ll bid you all a good day x

Good morning from a grey Bristol. We are having a little rain, more is forecast for the morning.
Yesterday was quiet with sewing and pottering.
A surprise flying visit from SiL, bringing me a lamp from Ikea.
Today, ditto.
Bellasnana, I hope you feel better soon. Colds are horrid, aren’t they?
Have a good day y’all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning! I'm thinking about going back to sleep as I didn't sleep that well, but I have things to do, so this probably isn't happening.

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast with a high of 29°C.

I’m up and ready to go to watch the boys but honestly don’t know how I did it as I feel dreadful.

Full of a cold and consequently a lousy night. I wish I could stay in bed but can’t let DD3 down.

Mick that liquid you have to drink is a dye. I’ve had the same procedure. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Have a good day all. ☀️
