Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° and dry- at the moment. There is a heavy cloud cover. Mick a very happy birthday to you. I hope you have a nice day. Bellasnana lovely photos of the boys. GrandMattie looks like the work will actually happen!
Yesterday was a very lazy day. I did change the sheets etc, wash and dry them etc, but that was the extent of my labours. I rested a lot and elevated my feet. I find my fairly new sofas uncomfortable if I sit on them for any length of time which is disappointing.
Today I'm picking up my friend for Saturday breakfast- her lift isnt available-and we will go to our usual haunt, the garden centre. Then I will take her home. Afterwards I have a tesco delivery due. I might see ds at some point this weekend as his washing machine has broken down. I am looking forward to a ham and chicken salad tonight for dinner. Have a good day all.

Lovely photos, bellas. Aren’t the boys grown up?

Happy birthday, Mick. 1948 was a good year, wasn’t it. 😊
Good morning from Bristol. The sky is becoming lighter, with sunrise due in about 20 minutes.
I was tired all day yesterday, but plugging on, as one does, due to previous commitments.
The day started with the delivery of an enormous “shed”, about a third of the size of a shipping container! I suspect it’s an office for the painters - when it actually starts…
Spanish next, where I was lacklustre and not really engaging with anything. As there are only 4 of us, each needs to put in quite a bit.
I was due to go to the church hall at 2pm, but the chap doing the work with me needed to leave earlier than expected, so I had lunch and rushed to the church hall, forgetting the essential staple gun. He had his car, so it was quickly collected. We finished in good time, the room looks lovely and fresh now.
I was exhausted and just sat for the rest of the day, interrupted by my upstairs neighbour. She’s been having trouble with her car, repairing will cost more than it’s worth. Her worry? What will the (“million”) people she drives do if she doesn’t have one?
Today, church cleaning, which I planned on doing yesterday afternoon, church coffee, then nothing - just pottering.
Hav3 @ good day everyone; hugs to those who need one.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Happy birthday Mick and thank you for this lovely Good Morning thread. Hope you have a good day.🥳

I had a nice day out with DD3 and the boys yesterday. We went to the Playmobil Funpark and it was a joy to see my treasures happy and enjoying themselves.

Watched tennis in the afternoon and didn’t do much else. I’m basically a sloth 🦥

Meeting a friend for coffee at 9.30. Haven’t checked the weather but expect it will be sunny.

Glad you enjoyed your week in Malta EkwaNimitee. It has changed so much over the 45 years I’ve called it home but I still love it.

Wishing you all a good weekend.☀️
