Gem, you posted while I was typing, so I've only just seen your post. What good news that DD3 can drive again. Apart from the practical advantages, it will help her to feel better in herself. Well done to GD for staying calm for her first GCSE exam. My GD1 had German Listening on Friday, but her first written exam was this afternoon. Her Dad said she went off to school quite calmly this morning. Fingers crossed for both of them, and Lizzie's GD2.

Oma, the accommodation you'd like MIL to go to sounds perfect. She can be with other people if she wants, but having her own front door is probably an advantage, and so is an onsite cafe. Poor Storm, I don't suppose he minds leaving the door open, but it won't make him very popular with you and B.

Lizzie, belated Happy Mothers' Day for yesterday. It's nice that your GD doesn't want to miss your birthday celebration. The choirmaster's funeral will be a sad occasion, but I hope the choir being there will lift everyone's spirits. His poor wife will have a lot to deal with.

Nanto, I got caught in a shower today as well. Things are starting to get back to normal upstairs! Not long now till Thursday, and then you can relax and enjoy your new bathroom.

My GD2 is back from her school trip to the Island. Apparently she had an amazing time, but hasn't said much about it yet. She was grumpy going to school this morning - probably still tired from all the activities and excitement. I didn't do much in the garden, it was too cold and windy. I've got a dental appointment tomorrow morning, but nothing else planned, so if the weather's better I'll do some more gardening.

Good morning.

Good luck to all of those doing exams.

Gem,good news that DD can drive again.

Going into town this morning. Hubby is meeting his pal.

I want to do a bit of a stock up at the butchers, and browse in a few shops.

I think it's forecast to be a bit warmer today, i hope it is.

Good morning everyone.

I'm waking up to a bright morning Nan2 so I hope you are too for the trip to town

Daisy, yes good luck to our girls, Lizzie's GD and my friends C and P's GD1, taking her A levels .
I bet your GD2 has a mixture of being tired and a bit of a let down feeling after a good trip is over!

Oma that place sounds like where my auntie G lives. She has her own self contained flat, but a cafe and hairdressers on site, a very smart communal lounge, and company whenever she needs it. She is very happy there.

Library morning for me. Golf for the birthday girl.

Morning ladies,
All these GC taking exams , I feel for them , it's a stressful time.

Daisy
I'm sure GD was tired and as Gem said coming back from a nice trip away is a bit deflating isn't it .
Hope the Dentist doesn't cost you this morning , good luck.

Gem
Tell S we send hugs and hope she has a lovely day at. Golf.
Are you going out tonight then?
Yes your aunty G's place sounds exactly like this one,
Of course we are not guaranteed a place she may have to go on a waiting list but we have heard from someone who works there that 3 units have been empty for a few weeks so fingers crossed,

Nanto
Enjoy your trip into town , we must get to the farm shop to stock up on meat also.

Well it's damp and dreary here, hopefully the sun will get out at some point but the sky is very grey.

Storms had his toast and treats , he is now asleep in the garden,
I got up during the night as I heard him coughing and was worried he was going to be sick , but he was fine
Opened one eye looked at me and went back to sleep,
Of course I couldn't get back to sleep as I was listening all the time.
It's like having a baby overnight and you listen for any noise 😁

Nothing planned today , I have the washer on just dressing gowns this morning all the rest was done yesterday.

Oma, I can imagine having Storm to stay is like having a GC, you listen for every sound
Mind you now we have little E every Thursday night I sometimes forget he's here!
My auntie owns her flat. I think there are a mixture of owned, part owned and rented where she is.

Thank you for OH's card 😊
