Morning, mick and all who follow.

A grey start here in South Yorkshire too, but the forecast is for it to brighten up a bit today.

A busy afternoon, helping to set up a tea party, then partaking of said tea & sandwiches. Should be a nice afternoon.
A few outdoor jobs to do this morning.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Leicestershire.

Dog walking, coffee with friends then pedicure.

Hope the tea party goes well maple and your grandchildren feel better soon kate.

My bit of Leicestershire is just the same as dragonfly's.

I'm going to attempt a Sainsbury's shop this morning. The first time I've been out since gastric flu hit last Saturday.

It's Persie's 6th birthday today and we've already spoken to a very excited little girl.

Enjoy your days everyone. Hope you get some normality back soon, kate.

Good morning all,a bright start here in Shropshire.A week on since DH’s accident and I think things are settling down??I am going to collect our granddaughter this morning for her usual Thursday sleepover,she is a breath of sunshine.
I hope your grandsons are soon feeling better Kate,you must be exhausted and it’s so upsetting when they are unwell.
Enjoy the tea party maple and wishing everyone a lovely day.

Morning one and all.

Bright skies, but roof tops white with frost in North Cheshire. Painting group this morning, which is lovely and chatty whilst people paint and draw etc, then hairdresser followed by lunch with an ex work colleague and one of my oldest friends.

Glad your DH is feeling better Susan, your GD will help raise your spirits. Kate they know where to come for some comfort and hugs! Take care everyone.

It’s a beautiful sunny start here on the NE coast with the promise of a lovely day ahead.

School runs then off to “that place” again..... roll on Friday at 1pm.

Hope your DGS’s are feeling better soon NanKate and that your DH is on the mend Susan .

Sending best wishes to everyone feeling under the weather.

Have a good Thursday all x

Good morning all. Bright and sunny in E. Northants. I've been up for an hour looking at rescue dogs on the internet. Still looking for a little cat friendly companion. Hope it's a pleasant Thursday for everyone.

Good morning from a brilliantly sunny Birmingham! I will have my poorly grandson again today instead of my grandaughter- she is going to her grandad’s. Grandson is very clingy and my daughter thinks he will be happier with me because he knows me better. I’m hoping he will be feeling a little better today, poor little thing. So, a trip to the park to see the ducks and geese, and home for a nice long sleep, I hope!

megan123 Thu 28-Mar-19 07:25:46

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Derbyshire. Still a bit chilly but so good to see the sunshine.
Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from South Manchester where it promises to be a lovely day. The sky is a pale blue and I can make out the Pennines.

Meeting an old ex colleague for coffee and a catch up this afternoon then home and out again this evening as we are going to a bar where we’ve arranged to see friends. All in all a nice day for catching up with good people.

Hope your DGS get better today NanKate and you can have a good rest yourself soon in your own home. Glad to hear your husband is slowly on the mend Susan56 I’m sure seeing your granddaughter today will cheer you both up. Wishing everyone a happy Thursday whatever your plans or none. x

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, I envy your sunshine Gilly.

A bit tired after my day out with my friends yesterday. We met a colleague who still works in the school and she commented on how well we all looked, as we no longer worked in that madhouse, She, on the other hand, looked exhausted.

DH is off out to town to have lunch with his ex colleagues. He will need a lift to the station, so I may join him on the train and have a wee wander around Glasgow on my own and then come back with him.
He has warned that I have to come nowhere near the restaurant he will be in, as his friends won't get a word in edgeways if I appear! ?

Kate, you get yourself home and have a good rest and I hope the boys are on the mend soon.

susan, I'm glad to hear that you are starting to get back to normal.

Maple, afternoon tea sounds a lovely way to spend the afternoon.
Have a good Thursday, everyone.

Good Morning Mick and everyone. A beautiful sunny morning here on the Welsh coast, a great fillip.

DD and DS going to London on the train later this morning, DS for work and DD to Heathrow, she's off to China then Japan.

Have a good day everyone.

harrigran Thu 28-Mar-19 07:33:25

Good morning from a sunny NE. Woken by text message to tell me that I will have a parcel delivered between 11.30 and 14.30 so will be at home I guess.
Had a wonderful lunch out yesterday, scallops followed by duck all cooked to perfection and a Kir Royale to celebrate DD's birthday. I spoke to her on the phone and told her we had celebrated, she is a vegetarian and marked her birthday at a rock concert ?

BlueSapphire Thu 28-Mar-19 07:41:02

Good morning all from a really bright and sunny Northampton. Washing in the machine ready to go on.

DGDs are here having stopped overnight and are just having sausage butties for breakfast! Waiting for mum to pick them up for school.

Sainsbury's delivery this morning, then do kitchen and bathroom floors, early lunch and down to the solicitors to sign my new will. Pop into town for a few odds and ends.

Hope everyone's day goes well.

Harris27 Thu 28-Mar-19 07:45:01

Well it's quite sunny here in ne. Thank you for kind thoughts yesterday will be organising mams funeral today and then trying to do something normal like tidying and food shop. Funny how mundane things help you back to normality? Hope you all have good Thursday. Thinking about Kate and Susan too.

oldgaijin Thu 28-Mar-19 07:50:27

Good morning from a clear, bright Aberdeenshire.
A quick shower then an early mutt walk as I am out to lunch....at Donald Trump's golf course, no less. Am in two minds about putting money in his pocket but I am nosey, and shall be in the company of good .friends.
Have a good day everyone.

NfkDumpling Thu 28-Mar-19 07:52:59

Morning All

Another grey, still day here in the north of Norfolk. Just need that high pressure area to move a bit to the right.

Blood tests and routine hospital appointments for the Dumpling household today.

cornergran Thu 28-Mar-19 08:04:51

Morning Mick, morning All from our bright, sunny corner of Somerset. Carrying on sorting and should begin furniture move ready for decorating next week then off for a walk on the beach as a reward. Whoever thought one room contained so much ‘stuff’? Hope poorly folk are more comfortable soon and Thursday is kind to everyone.

Brunette10 Thu 28-Mar-19 08:05:58

Good Morning from a lovely bright Fife. Had a lovely day yesterday with DGS's my how they keep you on your toes! Off out this morning to do some shopping on my own (I hope) smile DH takes too long. Sounds everyone is in a Spring mood today, enjoy everyone.

Mythbirtthedragon Thu 28-Mar-19 08:15:37

Good morning; it's grey and on the cool side in east London and I'm cursing the squirrel that's once again dug out my pot of primroses. Tennis this morning, trip to the registry later to collect some papers and choir tonight. Have a good day.

ninathenana Thu 28-Mar-19 08:17:07

Good morning everyone.

Please send your sunshine South as it's grey in Kent.
We're out to lunch with friends who live in France. They come over 2-3 times a year to stay with family.
Wishing all the poorly people well.

Grammaretto Thu 28-Mar-19 08:20:33

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Grey skies at the moment but it's set to be a nice day. I hope to get some more seeds planted.
Sorry about the poorly GC and anyone facing a difficult day.
