Good morning all from the Scottish Highlands. I'm staying with DD listening to the cock crowing.

Last night we went to the theatre in Pitlochry to watch a play about the Scottish writer Nan Shepherd. We both enjoyed it. It was so nice driving back in the light.

So very sad to lose your brother Bellasnanna.

I'm glad Iris has come through her operation well. She is such a brave young girl. gMattie

My 2 DGD will be singing at the Gaelic Mòd tomorrow. This is the Provincial competition not the National I am very proud. I won't be there unfortunately but I have heard them.

Hope everyone has some joy today.
The pictures are the river Tummel from the wobbly bridge.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a bright morning in Cheshire. I didn't manage to see the strawberry moon. I kept looking out last night and the night before, but not visible from here.

It is sad to lose and old friend, Bellasnana. A happy time with the children will restore your mood for a while.

Yesterday I worked the garden and I've been awake since 2.30 with aches. I should know better than to try to make up for several rainy days in one day. I made pot puree with the rose petals fallen in the strong winds. My DD walked in and asked why I was cooking roses. They turned quite dark, so I added some 'uncooked' petals to make the mixture prettier in the dishes. I had pale pink, deep pink and yellow petals.

This morning is painting group and acupuncture this afternoon where I shall probably fall asleep!

Have a good day everyone. Special thoughts for those with sadness.

Good Morning from a bright, dry Durham. Other than taking Little Dog out, I have an empty. I’m happy with that, as I’ve had a really busy week.
Glad Iris’s op went to plan gM and she recovers well.
Hope Marydoll is ok - I don’t think she posted yesterday.
💐Bellasnana such sad news - my sincere condolences.

Best wishes to all. X

I’m so sad for you, bellasnana. Suddenly deaths are so hard to come to terms with. My deepest condolences.💐🌷

Bellasnana Such a shock and sadness for you. My sincere condolences.

grandMattie glad to hear all went well with Iris’s op yesterday. I hope she will feel better soon, bless her. She’s been through such a lot in her short lifetime.

Good morning from Malta where it is expected to reach 36°C today.

Yesterday brought sad news as my brother in law in Kent died aged 76. It was not expected and he was found by his youngest son. 😞

He was the brother I never had, I was only 14 when he and my sister started dating, he had no family apart from his mum so he embraced ours and we had many years of happy times.

My sister died almost nine years ago and I think he died with her in some respects as he hasn’t been the same without her. I hope they are reunited now.😢

I’m off to look after my two treasures. Will decide what to do with them later, probably bring them home and get the paddling pool out again. It’s super-hot now.🥵

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from a grey Bristol. We have been promised rain, but none ha# fallen yet.
Iris has had her operation late yesterday afternoon. The surgeon was very happy with how it went. Now, we’re just hoping that the antiemetics work, as she’s not usually very well from the anaesthesia.
The problem will be getting her up and down stairs as both her knees have been “done”, and, of corse, pressure on them is not recommended or pain-free. Their loos are on the first floor or the basement…. We shall see.
The FAB cafe went well, although not many attended. The book group was good as well - our next book is “True Grit”!
I also collected my new sunglasses. I can see with them”. Hurray. I didn’t have new ones after my first cataract, so they were not very helpful!
Today, I’ve got nothing except tai chi, which I enjoy very much.
May your day go well. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
