Good Morning Everyone,
Its a dry start to the day here in Brackley at the moment .
Yesterday going to Bicester an accident n the A43 caused a 6 mile tailback southbound ,and the bus journey to Bicester took over 90 minutes,with a rerouting .
Today hopefully hassle free bus trip.
Health wise OK apart from weight loss ,
Take Care,

Me too Aggie. I miss Madeleine's posts. Always so interesting and positive. I do hope she is OK but just not able to be on GNSET for some reason. And I suppose we will never know. Which is sad.

Good morning from coastal West Sussex. It’s cloudy but bright here and less breezy than recently. I was very warm in bed last night and the room felt airless despite a window being open. I got up (probably about the time that Mick and all the other early risers are posting!) and opened both windows wide and a wonderful fresh air cooled me down. I went back to bed and fell into a deep sleep 😊.

I was very tired by the time I went to bed after watching the football. I had spent the afternoon and evening at DD1’s doing ‘heavy weeding’ and, being a little obsessive once I get going, spent nearly five hours digging up winter jasmine, which DD had cut back as it was taking over, and a very deep rooted ‘weed’ vying with the jasmine and a few other things for dominance. The soil is heavy clay and is baked by the recent dry spell so only just workable. It needs a large dose of topsoil and compost.

GrandmaC47, what a horrible experience you had with your fall. I did the same thing running for a bus years ago when I was working. It’s awful when bus drivers don’t seem to care whether they pick up passengers or not. I hope rest and TLC from your family will speed your recovery.

Marydoll, such a worrying time for you 🌹

I must go and join DH at the allotment - I have made the coffee and will take it in a flask. I don’t know that I will do much work there - I need to let my aching body recover from yesterday 😂

Hope everyone has something good in their day today.

Happy birthday Twiglet. I hope you have had and are still enjoying your special day.

But poor grandmaC47 such a fright. I hope you are ok now.
