Good Morning Sunday 23rd August 2926

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, a fine day ahead so have just put some washing in the machine.

A bus trip to local retail park late morning yesterday, coffee and a bacon roll in Costa followed by a mooch around the shops. Was pleased to find Sainsburys had a good stock of low dose aspirin in so bought 3 packs.

Will do a bit of tidying this morning as DS and family will be dropping in this afternoon - I have some gifts (well, money actually) for the DGDs to mark their exam success. Hoping DS will fix my printer which is off-line... He has also asked me if I have any spare kitchen stuff/crockery that DGD1 could have for uni!

A gammon to cook for dinner which will also give me another meal or two.

Wishing all a pleasant cooler Sunday.

Good morning from a cooler overcast Co Armagh
It’s a bit odd here eating my porridge, surrounded by tomato plants ! Glad they are inside , it was cold last night
Madeliene if your leg isnt a bit better you must get it looked at tomorrow
MD you need to hide for a week to get those cross people off your back
Best wishes to all the poorly for a better day

This sounds like a lovely friendly chat group do you mind if I join in from Isle of Wight.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. A touch of autumn in the air.
I ventured out and picked the last of the plums - the rest I can't reach and will be for the birds insects and no doubt, grey squirrels. I picked a few apples as well but I think I will take them to the annual apple pressing at the community store.

Yesterday turned into a rather too sociable day so I achieved little. I have however been offered 2 different places to stay temporarily if my flitting happens before finding a new home.

I did pack my kiln and today I must glaze the contents ready for open studios next week and the following weekend. This is our arts festival. It's less ambitious than usual due to the loss of our art centre this year -lack of money but also an ageing team.
What do the younger generation do?

Well done Ash on your theatre run.

Marydoll Your parishioner sent to try you sounds familiar to me. We have a similar character in our community. Commiserations.

I'm glad Rosesandlilac you are taking things a bit easier. Hope it continues and you heal quickly.

Hoping you all have a pleasant Sunday.

Truffle43 welcome to Micks thread. Newcomers are welcomed. Mick posts first and we all join in.

Welcome Truffle.

A late good morning from a sunny North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here apart from roast pork for lunch and the papers this afternoon. It's been a hectic summer, especially the last couple of weeks. DH is going to try driving today to see if his foot holds up.

Welcome Truffle - new posters are always welcome here.

I'm off to catch up. Have the best day possible everyone.

Hello Truffle. Please join in.
I love imagining people and where they live from their morning posts.
Sometimes we have meetups though I doubt I'd get to the I of W.
I lived there for a short time as a small child.

Welcome Truffle I always start my day reading this thread.
I’m sure you will enjoy it

Welcome truffle, I start my day by reading and posting on this thread. We’re all very friendly and kind!

Hi Truffle and welcome, we’re not far away from you, south Hampshire.

Morning all from a beautiful West Oxfordshire. Welcome Truffle.

My post disappeared again! We are out for lunch with our daughter who is here for a couple of days.

Have a good day in the sun.

Good morning everyone from the west midlands. A beautiful , bright vaguely autumnal day here today.
I've just been picking more beautiful plums from the little plum tree.
It was in the bargain basement & going for a couple of quid when I found him 4yrs ago. The blossom is beauteous & it is now producing delicious, fragrant, almost black plums; a variety possibly Czar I think, Small blessings.
Best wishes to all & may everyone have the best day possible.

Welcome Truffle 👋

Good morning everyone from sunny 17° Lancashire.

It’s cooler today but still feeling hot in the sun as the breeze has dropped. MrB and I have had a lovely walk along the dockside, bird watching.

Wishing you all a good day whatever you’re doing 🌹

Ilovedogs my plum tree is Czar. Good for eating and even better for cooking and making jam. The fruit has been excellent and bountiful this year.

Welcome Truffle - jump right in!

Welcome Truffle!

Thank you everyone
you’ve made me feel welcome. Sorry it has taken a while to respond but I’ve been so busy. Hard to believe I used to work how did I ever find the time.

Good morning all. Dull here today but the grass is looking green again. Amazed at how quickly this has happened. Been out walked the dog and now having a well earned breakfast.

Hi Truffle Michael starts a new thread every day , look for today’s under heading Bankholiday Monday

Thank you Aggie.

Good morning from a lovely day on the east coast though it’s very windy.

Today we are going out to buy a new dolce gusto coffee machine. Ours has packed up so it’s a trip to Curry’s I think. We need to pick up some veggies for tomorrow to do a roast for DGS coming. He’s been asking for Grandma and Grandad on holiday so DS will pick him tomorrow and come over. We have all missed him. He’s had a super time in Turkey🌞

Tonight we are going out for a curry with our best friends. I’m on this calorie counting so it will be a dry curry for me and I’ll probably drive so won’t be tempted by wine.

Welcome Truffle43

Have a lovely day🌼
Thinking of those finding life a struggle at the moment💐
