Thanks Gem, has H returned home yet?

[Gemini]

No Lizzie. I will be announcing it far and wide if he does.

[Nanto2girls]

Very warm already here. I didn't think yesterday was as warm as they forecast.

Gem, any sign of Henry yet.

Hubby gone to car boot with his brother and 2 nephews.

I'm going to crack on before it gets too warm.

[Mimi]

Good morning all. It's early but very warm already and guess who has decided that we will have a Sunday roast will all the trimmings. I predict a very hot kitchen later today!

I didn't watch the football yesterday but it was awful about the football player who had a suspected heart attack on the pitch. Apparently the BBC is getting a lot of complaints about the coverage of it. Many people are saying, quite rightly so, that the cameras should have stopped streaming the scenes on the pitch as first aiders gave him CPR .

Welcome home Lizzie.

WeeGranny shame about the delay in your house move , it must be extremely frustrating, house moving is stressful enough without additional difficulties

Oma how is your niece

Gem any news about Henry

Have a good day everyone

[Gemini]

Good morning ladies.

Nan2, yes get on before it's too warm to!
Gosh Mimi, Sunday roast is one of my favourite meals, but not sure I'd be keen to cook one on a hot day!
So very sad about that poor football player. I do hope he is OK

No news on Henry. On the way to see our friends last night we put up a few more posters on notice boards around the village.
Not sure what todays plans are. A hot day is forecast, we may spend some of it enjoying the garden in the shade.

Happy Sunday everyone.

[Daisy]

Good Sunday morning, everyone.

Since the power cut yesterday our internet has gone into meltdown as well. I couldn't get online last night, and I've just spent nearly an hour getting online this morning. So I'll say "hello" - we've got to go over to DS2's soon so I'll hope for a better connection later today. Take care in the sun. Mimi - enjoy that roast even if it is a hot day.

[Gemini]

How frustrating Daisy! Have a good day.

[Oma]

Morning ladies ,
Not much to do this morning everything done yesterday ,
Had a shower and now having a cup of tea waiting for Lidl to open go for fresh baked bread ,

Feel really tired this morning a stuffy night so although I managed a few hours on and off they were not great hours of sleep ,
B gave up at 4.30 and got up too it was so hot in out bedroom even with all the windows upstairs open and all the doors to aid air flow .

Daisy that must drive you mad

Nanto enjoy your alone time you can get on quicker when the men are out

Mimi Brave lady tackling a roast in this heat
Haven't heard about Niece we don't keep in constant contact just if anything like this happens , no news is good news as they say xx

Lizzie how are you after you return trip yesterday are you tired ?

Gem you doing as much as you can about Henry poor boy just keep hoping he will come back or at least you find out what has happened to him xxx

[Gemini]

We are still hoping Oma. As you say we are doing all we can. Not knowing is hard.
People care I know, but I'm finding it hard having to reply to so many people each day getting in touch asking if he is back. I keep telling everyone if he is back I will be widely announcing it!!

[Lizzie48]

Good morning, it is sad about the footballer, I wasn't watching it so I do not know what was shown, but, it is a strange world, I told you about that poor child that was killed in Leiden last week, I read that people were just stood filming it!!

When GD2 was a baby, 12 years ago, I bought 2 huge white sheets and made a blind for the balcony as it can get very hot. I have used it over the years as it keeps the house cool as well, I brought it up yesterday and washed it, I must have washed it over the years but maybe too hot yesterday and it shrunk. I have had to put a 40cm panel in and it fits again, I have enough single sheets so used one of those.

Daisy, that is annoying with the wifi not working right.

I was tired on Friday Oma, cystitis playing up again so that doesn't help, I did feel better yesterday so I have promised myself a day of rest.

DS1 has got the boat to where is is now docked so very handy for them to go, I think about one hours drive, he said they were going to go today so they will be there now. I have a B&B booked near to where they are in August, that is my birthday present from them, they said a hotel but I like a B&B. I will take my bike of course so can go my own way when I am not with them.

Gem, I do hope that Henry shows up.

[Nanto2girls]

Lovely photos Lizzie.

We haven't had a roast dinner today. Hubby asked for a pizza,so thats what we had.
I had all my jobs done for 9am. Including the ironing.

[Plantaholic]

Just reporting in, will be back later, slept late

[Gemini]

Lovely photos Indeed Lizzie. Sorry to hear the damned cystitis is still bothering you.
Pizza is a lot cooler to cook Nan2. My turn to cook tonight, I think we will have fish of some sort.

I finished my book (which was gripping me so I was keen to get to the end!) in the garden. It has dulled over now so I have come in for a while.
I have got a line of towels dried so have done something productive at least!

[Plantaholic]

I wrote the above but forgot to post it, I am indoors with the fan on, a bit warm outside but lovely all the same.

Bit warm for eating, I am having fish later

Lizzie, Pleased you had a lovely break. You are such a clever practical lady sorting out your blind. Sorry to hear you are still being bothered with cystitis.

We are resigned to hear that the wedding will have to be cancelled, GD and DD picked up the wedding and bridesmaid dresses today. GD want to delay, if necessary the wedding but her partner would like to go ahead with getting married and have a party later.

[Gemini]

Oh what a shame Plant. We can sympathise, with the same happening to DD3 last summer.
