Good morning from Malta where it’s cloudy and the high will be 21°C.

It’s a Public Holiday today (St Joseph the Worker), a fact which I had completely forgotten so went off to do my shopping and a few errands yesterday feeling quite pleased with myself for having made the effort to get out of the house.

On returning to the car I checked my phone only to have my happy bubble burst - I had missed my hair appointment at 11.30 Yet another ‘senior moment’ or what a friend calls a CRAFT moment ( Can’t Remember A F***ing Thing. 😩

Watched tennis, cleaned the front steps, steam mopped the floors and was disappointed not to see the boys as they had a party to attend.

A lovely surprise, then, when I heard little voices outside the door just after 7pm and there were my two Treasures and their mum. They had their dinner here before leaving at 9pm so it was a lovely end to my day,

I’ll have to wash my own hair today, a task I loathe but it serves me right.

Shame about the Morris dancers, Mick, I love them and was in my element visiting my sister in Broadstairs during Folk Week where there were different groups dancing everywhere we went. Happy days.

Thoughts always with our troubled friends and also greetings to all who read but don’t post, I hope you all have the best day possible.☀️

Good morning, Mick, I wouldn't normally be awake this early but I've had a restless night, came on here, and now I can hear all the wildlife waking up and I'm ready to go back to sleep! 😴

Have a nice time chatting with your friends in Bicester today. Glad to hear you're feeling well. The nice weather helps to put a spring in your step 😀. Take care.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its just starting to become daylight here in Brackley this morning.
Usually at around 0530 the local Morris men perform on the piazza outside the town Hall , but this the pub which normally opened early for the proceedings as closed .
I will do my usual routine after breakfast with a bus trip to Bicester and chat to those i know .
Health OK,
Take Care,
Mick
