Good morning Friday.

Good morning.

Scorchio.

Off for a nice long walk. Mornings are my favourite time of the day and I'm glad I'm an early riser. I love all the sunrises, the birdsong, the quiet and the colours of nature. Blimey...what am I on this morning?!

I'll have a swim mid morning then I have my two private classes 4.30 - 6.30.

Meeting Don when I finish for Friday beers and tapas. It's so lovely now to meet up with the rest of the gang too.

Have a great day.

Morning Ally, morning everyone

Cool and grey start to the day Jeans and cardi back on

Houseworkery morning this morning and Grumpy is going to do the weeding on the gravel at the front of the house too. I'll get on the bank near the wooden fencing and cut off the tall weeds - although they are so pretty, weeds is wrong. Wild flowers sounds better

Then a quiet afternoon, doing not a lot.

Have a good day everyone, whatever you're doing xx

Morning Ally and Jan, morning everyone

Ally, I agree - I love early summer mornings when it's all so quiet besides the birds - but equally love the warm summer evenings just sitting and listening to not very much
Jan, take it easy with the weeding - have you had a chance to speak to your doctor to see what the status for your op is?

Well no way can I use the word scorchio today - yes the sun is shining (at the moment) but we've got a really cold wind blowing an absolutely hooley here. More horizontal rain expected throughout the day. I am just so absolutely sick and tired of this weather and am starting to become a bit of a grumpasaurus

Oh well, there are people worse off so can't complain too much

Usual mix of work and home stuff - need to pop out and get a birthday gift for a friend; her birthday is tomorrow. And a few personal adminny things to do

have a lovely day all - those in the UK stay warm, dry and upright (think this wind is covering most of the country) xx

I was told April/May Ria, so will leave it for a while. There are a couple of hotspots with the virus and Portimao is one of them So I'll just have to wait a little longer

The clouds have changed from grey to white and I can see some blue, so should be another lovely day

Good morning everybody.

It is raining but the grey clouds seem to be brightening up.
Shopping this morning and going to the bank. Then just pootling again. May tryto do some de-cluttering in the loft.

Have a good day everybody.

May tryto do some de-cluttering in the loft.

Morning all, guess what, it’s raining However, we are going AWAY!!! A couple of nights in Wicklow in Miss Osc’s house, with a forecast of better weather tomorrow - not that we will be doing anything much. We’ve said we will clean the windows and Edward will check out any DIY that might need doing. We’re planning a longer visit in June, when the weather “should” be better and we can go on days out. On the way today, we’ll call into Avoca and treat ourselves to their lovely ready meals. I’ve got out of the habit of organising to go away, but at least we have the car, so we can just throw everything in. Back early on Sunday.

Have a lovely time Osc and hope the weather improves for you xx

Clouds now gone, sun is out, but also the wind

Good morning everyone.
Dreadful weather here too Ria. Cold, grey and raining. In a mo we are going to pick Eliza up from playgroup. This afternoon we are taking her to Sainsbury's - she loves putting things in the shopping trolley!
Have a good trip Osc and yes Cruiser, steady away when getting in and out of the loft.
Have a good day all.

Morning, it’s raining and very windy.

I walked Bill first thing while it was dry, we came in and I cleaned his paws and then went back outside to clean off my boots before the rain started and felt the first few drops so that was excellent timing
The Tesco delivery has been so that’s all been put away now, there’re just the things my parents wanted that need dropping off later.

Joe and Tom are in work. Amanda’s coming over later. John’s in Leicester for a meeting but will be back by lunchtime and he’s decided to work from home this afternoon as there’s no one else in the office today.

I think I’ll carry on with my jigsaw.

Have a good day all
