Good Morning Saturday 2nd May 2026

Dear R&L I’ve just read your post. You really are in the eye of the storm at present. I do hope (we all do) that you get some reassuring news soon and that things are not what you fear.

Good morning,

Happy birthday Mick 🎉🎂🍺. I hope you enjoy your day.

Overcast here today unlike yesterday which was glorious. I think we might get some rain later.

Good morning from a cloudy but bright Black Country.

We are going to Birmingham this afternoon, check in Hotel, then a meal before going to see Peter Kay.

Last night there it was evacuated due to a suspicious bag, so it may even be cancelled tonight. Last time we were there you had to pass through a metal detector before entering. So that must have picked up on something?

Happy birthday Mick

Hugs for RosesandLilac so sorry you are having to go through all this.

Yes, sorry for the omission about your daughter in law Marydoll blame my heightened emotions so much whirring in my brain today.

That’s another LLFL! similar age to your granddaughter too!

Rosesandlilac - a hug 🫂

Happy birthday Mick and those who celebrate today. Lovely morning so will be able to dry the washing outside, always a bonus. Need to collect pills from surgery and await Tesco delivery, so a fairly dull day in prospect but sadly that is welcome rather than a problem these days. My get up and go has definitely departed.

Good morning everyone, especially Mick on his.birthday, from a cloudy Northampton, with rain forecast later. Yesterday was so warm; we had all the outside doors open at the hall where we do our dance classes; neither.did I need a cardigan.

After dance I decided to go straight to the shops; had a welcome coffee in Costa before getting what I needed from M&S Food, (mainly a nice steak for dinner tonight!)

No plans to go out today, needing to stay around home, as Evri will be picking up a returns parcel to go back to John Lewis (the suitcase I wasn't happy with). I need to go to a JL store to look at other brands, and must inspect the insides this time! Evri should send me an email with expected pick-up time.

May get out in the garden at some time today to carry on with the weeding; I must also stake my peonies as they are getting top heavy.

Wishing all a pleasant Saturday.

Rosesandlilac if we could, we would be at yours, forming a shield around you with help and support. You are a strong person, an example to all of us. Know that you are not alone

Rosesandlilac. 💐

Good morning from Cambridgeshire where all is very peaceful except for bird song. Yesterday the weather was glorious sunshine all day and for the first time my 12 year old DGD wanted to tan her legs in the garden after school. Also she had rolled her skirt up so very short. Signs she is growing up I suppose 😂 DGS2 was happy playing chess indoors with his grandad. They do squabble at mo though and his first greeting to his sister after school was to shout “skirt” at the top of his voice as she got into the car which irritated her! He then persisted to pull her hair and kick her seat to get a reaction 😳Peace did resume fairly quickly thankfully. They do however bring so much laughter enjoyment into my life.

Today I will go to the Farm shop for BBQ meat and I fancy steak, salad and chips tonight. Will need to be on hand to help with dance class runs which clash with an away football match but otherwise will enjoy a quiet day at home.

Hope your dil is getting on ok MD and has a good birthday and your DH will soon get his BP under good control and your own health will be a little easier.
FGT hope today goes well.
Happy Birthday Mick 🍺🎂 enjoy your special day.

Lovely to see all the photos posted today. Hope the day will be kind to all 🌷

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Sunshine here.

Happy birthday Mick with a big thankyou for this thread.
Enjoy your beer later.

My little Friday dinner party for 3 was a good end to the week though my backache was bad. Probably a mix of tension about the imminent house selling and from carting books around that nobody wants.

We watched deer cavorting around the bluebells in my garden. At this time of year it's a lot to give up.

Oh dear Rosesandlilac I am sorry to hear that you are on this particular journey. Sending hugs.

Gingster I love the sound of your celebration.

Glad Ash that you are enjoying the cruise.

Today more of the moving stuff around.
Encyclopedia anyone?

Roses and lilac not the news you wanted. Stay strong.

Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!

Happy 78th birthday, Michael!

The pain in my side and back, where I tripped on the sticky-up pavement, is still there but beginning to ease, so it isn't as bad as it was, thankfully!

After crashing back to bed just after 10 am yesterday, I managed to have a reasonably decent kip, flat on my back, hugging another hot water bottle, completely flattened and stuffed with paracetamol and Moo Milk!

I got up once for the loo and once for some orange juice, but that's it, I was well conked out and didn't get up until just before 3 pm! It was well needed!

As I have Melani Sanders We Do Not Care Club Handbook, £13.93 from Amazon, hardback, she's now written We Do Not Care Club Colouring Book, paperback, £10.99 through Amazon, so I've ordered that one too, it should be with me in a few days!

Have a good one, all of you!

Good morning from a sunny and already warm Suffolk. Happy birthday Mick.

I am on nurturing DGD3 duty today as she revises for her GCSEs which start on the 6th. She is very undemanding,a’perfect house guest’as our neighbour describes our little dog when they look after her occasionally.

All she’ll need is a quiet space and regular top ups with drinks and food. She told me last night that it takes her,not counting in the time for a shower at least 35 mins to get ready in the morning! That’s because of her skin care and make up( which is so subtle I hadn’t noticed it). Welcome to this new teenage world granny.

I hope those with worries or who are unwell have a peaceful day and a good one for all.

🍻🎂 Happy Birthday Mick. Best wishes for a good day.

Rosesandlilacs not good news but as GrandMattie says, at least you are being looked after

Good morning from Shropshire.Bright sunshine at the moment but rain forecast later.

We had a nice time with the children after school.We had a few new things for them to do which they enjoyed.Both have requested an at home day today which suits.We have a toy box and some toys for my SIL’s niece which they are excited to take home later so we will get them ready.

Gelisajams we used to go to Grasmere every year with my parents.When dad died we wanted to get a memorial stone in the footpath at the church but there were no spaces left.Instead we had daffodils planted in the church grounds.We continued to go to the Lakes with the children.Haven’t booked this year yet but thinking it will be back to Grasmere for us.Thank you for the pictures.

FGT💐it will be nice having your daughter and son in law staying tonight after what will be I’m sure a day of mixed emotions for you.x

Wishing everyone the best day possible🦩🌷
