Good Morning Everyone,

Morning Mick and everyone. Hope you enjoyed the Tour yesterday Mick - superb Geraint Thomas!

It's a cloudy start here on the south coast and there is even a little rain in the forecast for this afternoon. I'll believe it when I see it.

The plumber is due this morning to service the boiler and sort out an overflow problem. Not much elseplanned.

Enjoy your day folks!

Good morning Mick, Gaga and all to follow.
It is pouring down in Glasgow.
We have DGD today. I think we will bake, to pass the time., as it is too wet to go to the park.
The builders will certainly appreciate the results. ?
Enjoy your day everyone.

Morning All

Bright and sunny here in the north of Norfolk and warming up fast. Storms are forecast for this afternoon - but increasingly isolated.

I did a silly thing yesterday. Unbalanced and fell over onto my new knee and took all the skin off over the scar. I’m still getting used to having two straight legs the same length and walking properly! Incredibly I managed to get up unaided - although luckily no one was watching!

Its a bit stiff this morning so I’m just doing a bit of last minute weeding on the Regional In Bloom judging route this morning and taking cake to the lunch for us Bloomers. Then its feet up.

Morning all,a cloudy start here but very warm.
Have been very preoccupied the last few days,my eldest DGS has had a big health scare,hopefully all well be fine but has been a major worry for us.
Quiet morning have youngest DGS this afternoon.
Have a good Friday everyone.

Morning all.
It's a sad day because GS2 will be coming for his breakfast before going to primary school for the last time today before he moves on to Secondary school .
We have looked after the GSs for 13 years so it's the end of an era for us.

Sunny at the moment here in York but rain is forecast just in time for the school hols.
Have a good day everyone

Sounds painful, Dumpling. Many people would say b****r the last minute weeding. I hope you win. Can you post a pic of your garden? flowers

Good Morning everyone and back after my short break away to Dumbarton which was lovely. Marydoll you certainly have some lovely locations along there. Raining here in NE fife but not heavy, not complaining. Have DGS today so looking forward to it. Have a great day everyone

Marydoll Fri 20-Jul-18 07:14:33

Brunette, the grass is always greener. I love your part of the world! When our children were small, we always visited Dumbarton Castle as a treat for our daughter's birthday. She asked for this every year.
Last year her fiancé proposed there, which I thought was very romantic.?‍❤️‍?.?

Morning all.

North Leicestershire is hot and heavy this morning and we have the possibility of thunderstorms. Is it wrong to hope we do get them?

I hope you have no lasting damage from your fall nfk. Is it your own garden or a 'community' one that is being judged?

I hope things are all good for your DGS, yiayia.

OG one of ours is moving on this year, sad isn't it?

Nana3 Fri 20-Jul-18 07:23:58

Good morning. Sunny in Lancashire, two very lively dgds coming to stay for 2 nights. Hope your knee is okay NfkD.
Have a good day everyone.

NanKate Fri 20-Jul-18 07:27:16

Morning Mick and All.

What a lovely idea a proposal at a castle Marydoll ?

Well done Oldgoat 13 years of TLC for your grandchildren, they will never forget their time with you. ?

Back home after 10 lovely days in the New Forest I will miss the ponies and donkeys outside our window.

Yiayia4 Fri 20-Jul-18 07:27:47

Thanks Kittylester, look after that knee nfk.

Greyduster Fri 20-Jul-18 07:37:34

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Sunny in South Yorkshire again and hoping the forecast rain will not pass us by today. I have to ring the surgery to see if the results of my X-ray are in and then try and get an appointment. Take it easy with the knee, NfK. Have a good day folks.

ginny Fri 20-Jul-18 07:51:05

Good morning from sunny Devon.
Take care with that knee NFL’s and hope your results are good greyduster.

We are off to Dartmouth and the castle today and then a wander around some pretty villages. Meeting up with our friends for cream tea later.

Morning from a dripping wet Co Armagh , the rain i the night is welcome for the garden

NfkDumpling Fri 20-Jul-18 08:12:30

It's the whole town Kitty. The judges go on a two hour tour so we've been out making sure the route is looking it's best. The shops are dripping with blooms, the school kids are waiting to show off their garden, the community allotment is standing to attention ...... We're going for Gold!

Marthjolly1 Fri 20-Jul-18 08:17:48

Good morning all. It's raining along the Forth. Nice slow steady rain. Perfect for the land. The first time I have seen rain since the beginning of June! Quiet morning then off to do my shift at the charity shop this afternoon. Mind that knee nfk hope your not bruised.

Panache Fri 20-Jul-18 08:19:02

Good Morning from Wales.

Again a lovely sunny morning with the area getting browner and crisper by the day.
Still hearing of rain both in Glasgow and Ireland,perhaps our turn next?

Ouch indeed Nfkd......hope your leg will be fine,these things happen when least you need them.
Yiayia4...........sincerely hoping your DGS will be fine,these worries affect the whole family.

Meanwhile hope the day is kind to the rest of you.

NannyJan53 Fri 20-Jul-18 08:30:34

Good Morning all,

Very warm here, but fairly cloudy

We are off to Upton on Severn this afternoon, to camp for the weekend for the Blues Festival. Showers are forecast in parts today, hope it is not whilst we are putting the tent up!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Yiayia4 Fri 20-Jul-18 08:32:22

Good morning, it is another sunny start to the day.
Was a sticky night, had to set up the Dyson air multiplier in GD's room because she couldn't sleep.
Shopping this morning.
