Good Morning Sunday, 3rd November 2024

Good Morning to all on this warm Sunday.

I have been a busy bee this morning washed all my clothes and hung them on the line, they dried in a couple of hours even though there was hardly any wind.

Put some silicon sealant round the base of my shower because the old stuff had come away from the tiles.

Next I gave my patio chair a second coat of linseed oil so it should last a few more years.

Don’t worry it is not that uncomfortable, it has fitted cushions for the seats and back.

Apart from that am not sure how I am going to spend the rest of the day, it is supposed to get to 31° even though it is partially cloudy. Just wish there was a bit more of a breeze.

Anyway, try to contain your excitement - we have the Melbourne Cup, Guy Fawkes Night and the US Election coming up all on the same day on Tuesday.

Enjoy your weekend while it is still quiet…

Good morning!
Cloudy & dull, but dry and no wind

For the past few weeks I’ve hardly been anywhere apart from short trips to the supermarket so today I’ll have a drive round for an hour or so to get the engine hot and warm everything
But I’ll probably also call at a supermarket seeing as I’m out - probably ALDI instead of my usual Sainsbury

Later I’ll get started on a hobby, something I haven’t felt like doing for several weeks - might be a model plane, might be some leatherwork

@Surfermom - I have loads of vinyl LPs, cassettes, both pre recorded & copied, and a few CDs - mostly Pop & Prog Rock, but also Folk, Classical & Jazz
I started with a couple of LPs by Wishbone Ash & Caravan

Though lately I find I’m listening more & more on YouTube, because once you enter a video the Links & Prompts suggest all sorts of obscure bands that I’ve heard of or vaguely remember, and you can go on like that for ages
Also recently I’ve been listening to Miles Davis on YT

OK, now for a shower, brunch, and off we go!

Good morning everyone. Another warm, sunny day :smiley:, particularly mild weather we’ve been having for this time of year. During this long weekend many people have chosen beach holidays :astonished:.

We live in the hills, far away from the sea, but still nice being able to sit outside, soaking up the sunshine.

@Bruce, oh yes, Guy Fawkes 5th November, brings back memories of my childhood days in London, doing the “Penny for the guy”. This ritual was really popular in our neighborhood, all the kids did it. My best friend and I would dig out old clothes and stuff them with newspapers to make a sort of guy. :laughing:

Sending sunshine to anyone who may need it.

Morning all – dull, grey and overcast (again)! Still according to local radio it is a mild start to the day as the temperature is 9c!

Bruce and Rose, you are making me jealous with that lovely weather!

Glad you are continuing to improve zuludog

Ah yes, Guy Fawkes Night! Unfortunately as it is on a Tuesday this year we have had noisy fireworks last night, probably again tonight, Tuesday and next weekend. :firecracker:

One of the cleaning companies I contacted replied – they don’t do Tuesdays (which is my preferred day). Hopefully I will receive replies from the other companies I have contacted. Who knew it would be so difficult to find a cleaner! :woman_shrugging:

I also haven’t heard from the carpenter about the summer house I want built!

Felt a bit unwell yesterday (nothing serious) so spent most of the day lying on the sofa with a blanket over me – and (whisper it) I even switched on the TV and ended up watching a couple of DVDs! :blush: Feeling better today so will have to catch up with the housework I didn’t get done yesterday.

Take care – have a lovely day

Good Morning from Robert’s Residence… :classical_building:
Blimey Bruce that’s work on an industrial scale, but what is that red Tee shirt doing among all those blue ones?
I remember Wishbone Ash Zulu, although my LP’s are a bit later on with Beatles albums, Sky, Rick Wakeman, ELO, Shadows, Dusty Springfield and more classical albums than you can shake a stick at…Glad you’re feeling better… :+1:
Look at that sky Rose…beautiful, and I want to squeeze into my budgie smugglers and bask in that calm warm sea…
:briefs:
The weather is the same here Sheila, overcast and dark, but quite pleasant for my early morning walk/jog out in the country, and quite unseasonal at 11 degrees C.

Good fine morning from Florida!

What a nice way to start the day with a virtual visit to Italy and Australia! I always enjoy the pictures.

Blue sky, perfect temps, the house is clean, and 4 slow-ish miles are knocked out. I am about to sit down for the annual family budget review that invariable results is shock, finger-pointing, bawling, blood letting, accusations, and vows of austerity for the next year :hot_face: :dollar: :chart_with_downwards_trend: :bar_chart: :mag_right:.

Ha, just kidding - except for the last part.

Enjoy the music @zuludog . YouTube is a treasure chest of music and concerts, Miles Davis among them.

I hope you all have a financially fuss-free rest of your weekend!
