Good Morning Everyone,
A dark but dry start here in Brackley this morning.
Up to my usual routine with a bus trip into Bicester do a shop and maybe have chat with people I have got to know.
On the health front OK, yet still have pain in my right thigh where I slipped slightly during a rain shower in Bath last Saturday, that's the rouble after a dry spell like we have had shoe rubber and on wet surface will make you slip .
Take Care,
Mick

Good morning from Bristol. It’s dry and overcast atm, but rain is forecast later; knowing my luck, it’ll pour as I get home from FAB cafe…
I had a very quiet day yesterday: today will be the same other than FAB cafe.
It’s DD’s 20th wedding anniversary today. Where has time gone? I shan’t be seeing them but left a little present and card with DGD last week.
May everyone be painfree, contented and safe today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, I think it’s dry here in south Glos at the moment.
I made 4lb of plum jam yesterday (definitely no heavy lifting involved!), it’s tangy and delicious even if I do say so myself 😋
I also tidied a kitchen cupboard, chucking out various packets of out of date stuff; there’s more yet to be done. The kitchen is looking much less cluttered too after I spent an hour having a good sort out l
Today my cleaner comes, so a quick tidy then I’ll retreat to my Shed with tiddler, DH will go to the village cafe with bigger dog and leave her to get on without interruption.
She does a fabulous job and is a lovely lady.
Jacket potatoes for dinner with savoury mince and cheese, quick and easy.
Have a peaceful day if you can x

Good morning from Malta where it’s going to be sunny and 38°C.

Had a strange night with weird dreams and finally woke at 5.30 and made my tea.

I’m going out with an old friend this morning, she’s picking me up so I won’t have to walk in the heat.

DD3 asked me to have DGS2 as his brother has occupational therapy and speech therapy this morning. I offered to cancel my plans but she wouldn’t hear of it. I feel bad as I know it’s not easy having to take both of them, especially as DGS2 is the dominant one who will take over when it’s his brother who needs the one on one attention.

Sorry to hear you hurt your leg, Mick. It’s the same here when it rains after months of dry weather. I’m always wary of driving as the tyres slip. It’s like a skating rink!

Hope you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning Michael and all GN's on a so far very dark still morning in North Yorkshire. This is a very quick post as I have been up since 4am and am getting ready to go off to Muker show.

I am surprised you didnt hear the screams of frustration from here as for the last two days, I had nearly finished my missive and the ..... thing disappeared, and I wasnt able to get it back. Very annoying, especially as I had been bringing things u to date

So basically, fingers crossed my cellultis is a little better (no doubt will be worse after a long day today) and yesterday for the first time I felt a bit better in myself. The forecast is for rain later - of course after all the good weather it rains on show day. Sadly my friend is not well and will not be joining me, but I will be filling the car with the total range of macs, jumpers, boots sunglasses and walking boots, plus all the picnic stuff etc.

I did manage to secure a disabled parking space, or I couldnt have gone, so plan to be off no later than 6am. Am concocting picnic food, checking through cutlery and so forth, all to see me organised, when I get there. Hope that I can see a choir member or friend, who might be able to help me to set up camp at my usual spot, as I think trying to do it all myself might be a bit difficult. this year. Never mind, dont care if it rains, snows or bright sunshine. At last I am going to a show and it is my best beloved one, with wonderful memories and hopefully I shall have a day of lovely memories to hang on to in the winter.

I need to get on now, Need to get food sorted and bags at the ready to stack up in the car, so fingers crossed that this time the flipping thing doesnt disappear today! I do not understand it, it is only gransnet that does this. Have had no trouble with anything else. Well deep breath and hope

wishing you all a good day, with plans that work and last chance to spend time with beloved grandchildren as they prepare to start school Fingers crossed this gets to you all and be in touch tomorrow. Have the best day you can
