:-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D

Good morning everyone. :-D <3

Dry wth the sun making great attempts here. A tad windy too so I have a load of washing swinging in the breeze - done this morning because I woke at 5 am on the sofa with the telly still on. :-S

I did try going to bed but I was wide awake so tossed and turned then gave up in the end.

Singing this morning but my neighbour, who joined me a while ago, is driving today. I am looking forward to it because we have a new song which I like added to our repertoire,

Enjoy your day everyone, :-D <3

Good morning Joy and Maddie :-) <3

Well, you are an earlybird today having already got washing out drying.!

I used to do that, when OH worked in London and we reguarly got up at 5.30 a.m

I could get one thin lot eg. shirts out on the line drying and another lot washed and ready to go out a while later, when the 1st lot was dry...... and still have the rest of the day to do whatever.

Enjoy your new song :-D

No thunder arrived.
We may still get some rain today, but mainly showers and less windy too.

I saw on TV that Kew Gardens has already had nearly as much rain in June, as it recorded in the whole of Spring :-0

I hope the plants enjoy the watering!

‘A Little Respect’ by Erasure is the new song. I don’t have a good voice but I do enjoy belting out songs I like. :-0

Morning all :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3 :-) <3

The sun has just come out from behind the clouds here and looks like it's going to be an alright sort of day if a bit breezy.

I put some towels in the washer yesterday and forgot to switch it on :-S

Will put it on when I go downstairs and then we've got to do a Tesco shop - how exciting ;-)

Have a good day everyone.

Well, blow me down, that song was not voted in by the group. People felt it swung between high and low too much.

And, Girls, I had been practising!!!
