Good morning from N Surrey. I think it is dry but still dark. A very pretty new moon is shining in the Eastern sky. Well it was about an hour ago when I made a mug of tea.
I also hope madeleine will have a rest for the next few days and that her leg improves.

This morning I will have a new washing machine delivered and fitted. Fingers crossed it will be a smooth exercise and no problems. I have a mountain of washing to do. The weather looks dry and sunny this week so that will help enormously.

I also have a mountain of paperwork to get on with following DHs death almost 4 weeks ago. How can it be 4 weeks. So sadly missed.

A cup of coffee calls now and I expect when I open the curtains it will be light now and maybe sunny already.
I wish us all a good day.

I hope Madeleine rests after her hospital visit yesterday.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 14° and looks damp in the streetlight. Yesterday I made it to Aldi then stripped the bed and got loads of washing done. I rested in between doing anything and ate very carefully. The pain has subsided but I know it's still lurking. Hopefully it won't be too long before I go for a scan.
Today is early childcare day and I have the boys all day because it's a local holiday. Dgs1 has a football camp so I will drop him off. Depending on how I feel, I might take dgs2 to soft play. Then I will pick up dgs1 and bring him back to my house for a couple of hours before taking him to football training. His mum will meet me there and pick up dgs2 from me. Then home to collapse! Have a good day all.

Good morning from Malta where another sunny day is dawning with a high of 38°C.

I spent the morning getting a lot of cleaning done yesterday plus a load of laundry out on the line.

The boys arrived late afternoon and were very good . I bathed them and they watched the start of Alcaraz’s match then went off to bed like angels and I watched the rest of the match then went to bed myself.

DGS1 cried out for a drink at around 1am but apart from that they’ve been quiet and are still asleep.

I’ve got them until 5pm so not sure what we will do all day. Still too hot for the park.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from an overcast Bristol. Some rain is forecast, but…?
Yesterday was quiet apart from the baptism in church. I made some marmalade to stock up.
The quilt is suddenly almost finished, the blocks are all made, just lining and interlining to do. I have no idea what I’ll do with it once finished. Charity shop?
Today is a bit uncertain as my neighbour’s friend isn’t sure she’ll be ok to go to Tesco. Everything depends on hope all the unwell are getting treated/sorted out/improving.
