Good Morning Everyone,
Its looking greyish outside this morning but its dry.
I am off again on my usual jaunt to Bicester and Buckingham on the buses.
Hope to find the flea market in Buckingham ,and the stallholder who sells the old OS is here today.
I usually browse before I buy, and then have a vegan lunch in the café I use in Buckingham, although not vegan , have taken to liking the 3 Bean chilli and rice as a nice meal .

Good Morning everyone.
A bright start to the day here on Severnside.
Aircon in car all refreshed so I went to the next town down the road to do my shopping yesterday to try it out. I asked at the garage about using all the time and they said yes and it was good in the winter for demisting. Thanks gillybob for spurring me on 5o get it fixed.
And talking of fixing I hope that you are fixed now BlueSapphire with your hot water.
Washing machine on, tidying a room later and then out into the garden for me today.
I hope you all enjoy the holiday weekend ?(a bunch of flowers today as it’s Chelsea)

Good morning Mick and Beechnut and all who follow. I’m an early bird this morning in Malaga. I’ve brought my cuppa back to bed and I can hear the wood pigeons and smell the pine trees by the open window.

No plans again today. This is very restful. I shall start a new book - always a pleasure choosing one.

Hope you’ve got some hot water to get into today (!) BlueSapphire and that you got your toothache sorted by the dentist kitty before you go on your holiday tomorrow.

Hope Saturday is good to us all, whether we have plans or (like me) none. x

Good Morning, I am off on a motorcycle tour today, I will be riding down to the tunnel and across to France, Belgium and Holland. It is a little grey outside, waterproofs I think ?

Traces of blue here in Northampton but not enough to make a sailor a pair of trousers. Do children still know that saying? My dgd looks at me blankly when I use it. Have to get to the supermarket today so plan to go early, then it’s a few chores and a trip to a local country park to scope out their log climbing and crawling area before taking dgd there on Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed that BlueSaphire finally has hot water and that other Gn’s dental problems are sorted. You will now have gathered that remembering people’s names is not one of my talents, sorry.

Morning all from a lovely bright North Leicestershire.

Bits and Bob's to do before we go away. Thank you for asking about my tooth, urmston. My dentist was not working yesterday so I had to see another who decided that we'll try to save the tooth by waiting until it can be properly investigated. I might go somewhere else and have it removed today. Your morning sounds lovely.

Enjoy your map hunt, mick, and have a great trip, scentia.

Good Morning all from a bright S Welsh coast. So far not enough blue sky to make a soldier a pair of trousers though teabagwoman, I used to say that to my children.

DH and I went out for lunch yesterday, there was a group of noisy teachers on the next table. I'm sure we weren't as noisy in my day grin

Glad your a/c is sorted * Beechnut*, my DH has it on during the winter as he is rarely cold, while I sit draped in scarves.

Have a good day all.

Morning Mick and All.

Cloudy with the sun peeping out in S Bucks.

Preparing for a week with the DGSs, I could be a shadow of my former self on my return ? but I know I will get plenty of laughs.

Do hope you can get your tooth sorted Kitty.

Like the sound of your chilli Mick

Morning Mick and all. Bright here in Kent has been raining last night. Usual Saturday pottering around just having a cuppa watching the birds. Have a good weekend everyone.

cornergran Sat 25-May-19 07:35:07

Morning Mick, morning All from our sunny corner of Somerset. Meeting family for breakfast if the motorway fairy is kind then a little shopping. Ouch kitty, that doesn’t sound helpful. Maybe I have an odd take on these things but as it’s your tooth shouldn’t it be your decision? Hope Saturday is kind to everyone.

Greyduster Sat 25-May-19 07:44:35

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire. A lazy day for us today, if a two mile walk down country lanes to a local pub can be termed lazy. Kitty I’m sorry to hear about your dental dilemma. If it’s any consolation, I think one of mine may be coming out in sympathy! Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Gosh hope you get your tooth sorted out today before your holiday. Can your DH not do a quick extraction?

Lins we say make a Scotsman a pair of trousers and we definitely have enough for that.

Enjoy your trip Scentia I am very envious that you are going to Holland.

Coffee and walk with a friend today.

dragonfly46 Sat 25-May-19 07:46:52

Sorry I meant for kitty to get her tooth sorted out.

Marydoll Sat 25-May-19 07:53:29

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, we have rain forecast later.

I did manage to go to lunch yesterday, but it was a bit of a disaster.
DH stood up, leant on the table, it flipped and he sent a pint of Guinness and a glass of Coke flying everywhere!!!! ?
You could hear the gasps of horror from the diners. ?
DH was frozen to the spot, while I frantically searched for a totally inadequate packet of tissues! Not good for my BP!!!
To make matters worse, he was wearing a light blue sweater. I'm sure you can envisage the state of his sweater.?
Apart from that I did have a nice morning out.

DD was getting ready for a wedding at our house, whilst we were out yesterday, as of course she needed mum to iron her dress and basically dress her!! (My bag, shawl, jewellery etc ?)
I now remember why I encouraged her to leave home. How can a 35 year old leave such a trail of disater? angry

DIL has offered to take me for coffee this afternoon, during the cup final, while DH is glued to the TV and DS1 is at the match. Depending how I feel, I may take her up on her offer.

Kitty, I hope you get some relief from your pain. I would love to go to your fleamarket, Mick, hope you have a successful day.
Scentia, not seen you posting on this thread before, so welcome and safe journey.!

Wow how lovely Scentia Poor you kitty nothing worse than toothache, really hope you get it sortedout. The cloud starting to break up here in letchworth and a glimmer of sunshinewhich bodes well for the Food Festival being held this weekend in town. I will tort off a bit later to have a mooch with my sister who wants to try the artisan bread that is usually sold on one of the stalls. She wants to see if it tastes any different to the fresh bread you buy in a shop!!! lol. I said it will cost her more that is for sure. smile.We will probably stop for coffee then i must visit the library and do some fresh food shopping. Want to get out in the garden a bit later, time to pull out wallflowers which are now going over and put in my geraniums. Have a great day everyone.

travelsafar Sat 25-May-19 07:55:31

trot not tort!!! lol

Good morning from Birmingham, where it is alternately sunny and cloudy this morning.
I’m going to give my living room a good clean this morning after having the children for two days- lots of little fingerprints everywhere. Tai Chi this afternoon, then afternoon tea out with some friends.

Alygran Sat 25-May-19 07:58:32

Good morning from sunny North Yorkshire. Finally feeling better after more than a week with ‘tummy trouble’. Visit to the local market today before heading to Derbyshire to see my daughters for the weekend. Helping DD2 with the raised beds in her garden.
It’s 10 years ago today that my Dad died so will be raising a glass this evening.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Nanabanana1 Sat 25-May-19 08:11:02

Morning all, lovely and bright here in Torbay, plenty of blue sky here could kit out the navy? My grandchildren also look at me as though I’m mad when l say that. Grandchildren with me this weekend so must “shake a leg “ and get started on the day. Hope it’s a good one for all.

Resurgam123 Sat 25-May-19 08:14:46

Good Morning All. Quite warm in Cheshire.
I have just struggled to get the hose to water the very dry flower beds and get the water where it needs to be.

Flipping Hozelock again they never seem to last long.
Have a good day

Mapleleaf Sat 25-May-19 08:17:16

Good morning,
It's a bright, sunny morning here in SY, still a bit breezy but not quite as much as yesterday at the moment.
General chores this morning - washing out, shopping, etc, then going to friends this afternoon for eats and chat. I think today is meant to be the better day for decent weather over the bank holiday.
I do hope you get your tooth sorted today, * kitty*. Did the dentist not listen when you said you were going away next week?
Glad to hear you are feeling better, Alygran. Tummy bugs are nasty things.
Hope everyone has a nice day today. ?

Good morning from Colchester where the sun has just come out after a shower.
We are off to Duxford Air Show for DGS3's 3rd birthday.

Brunette10 Sat 25-May-19 08:21:41

Good Morning from Fife. It looks as if the sun is struggling to peep it's little head out but I hope it does. Have splitting head today and no I had no wine last night smile but did have a bad dream. Anyway no specific plans for today will have an easy day I think. Kitty hope your pain has subsided. Marydoll you brought a smile to my face with your antics yesterday. Hope everyone's day is good for them.

Good morning from the NE coast. Another bright and sunny start to the day and the sea is shimmering.

Hope your map man is there today Mick and do enjoy your lunch it sounds delicious although DH wouldn’t think so.....he doesn’t “do” beans of any kind. (Weird) .

You are very welcome Beechnut I didn’t realise how much you needed A/C in the car until mine packed in and I was doing school runs on some of the hottest days so far this year. Glad you’ve got yours sorted too.

Hope BlueSapphires British Gas man showed up yesterday and got that damned hot water sorted !

Sorry you didn’t get to see your usual dentist kitty it would be a shame to lose a tooth that could be saved but the last thing you need is toothache when you are away from home.

Oh dear what a waste of a good pint of Guinness Marydoll . Could have been so much worse though, he could have spilled it over you instead of himself ! It’s nice when our DD’s still rely on us to sort their special outfits out for them isn’t it? And mum always has the right accessories .

Continue to enjoy Malaga Urmstongran I’m sure you will. Have a nice Sangria for me will you ?

I took my dad for his usual second big shop of the week straight from work yesterday and our usual cuppa and toastie. He then wanted to get some new fish for his tank and so we spent an hour in pets at home, which made me long to bring a bunny rabbit home (I didn’t ).

Then off to DD’s to do a few little bits in her new garden which is looking fab . It’s her birthday today and I have got her the usual bag of surprises (she rarely ever gets to treat herself so I go a little bit mad....nothing expensive just lots of nice bits). Lille Evie is loving her new outdoor playroom and bangs on the back door until DD opens it to let her out. I think she is going to be very outdoorsy just like her big cousins.

Have a great Saturday everyone x

Good morning from a dry but cloudy NE.
Just DH and I for a week but he has four more hospital appointments so that should keep us out of mischief.
Enjoy your bank holiday weekend everyone.
