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

Morning all. :-D <3

I kid you not, folks - I looked it up. Today is also known as Apple Sauce Day among other things.

More importantly it is the anniversary of D-Day.

Rain is forecast here but if it has not arrived by10 am, I may trot into town.

Whatever you are doing, enjoy the day everyone. :-D <3

Researching:
Mum's Azalea.

Morning Joy :-) <3

What a wacky title ! :-D

I grew up near Portsmouth and so with it's link to the Forces, 6th June is always D-Day for me <3

Looks a very unsettled day for us and only 13 at the moment :-|
Washing will have to dry indoors.
There's not many items, but some quite thick, as I've washed winter jumpers and cardigans this morning hoping they can be put away for a few months.
Didn't wash them, when we had nice warm weather, as we were asked to only use water for necessary needs, to maintain supply, so I decided that particular washing could wait.

Hope you all get a chance to see at least some sunshine today.

Morning Joy :-) <3, Gwyn :-) <3 Everyone :-) <3

Bit cloudy here. The computer is telling me it is 13 degrees and will stop raining shortly. It isn't raining :-S

Gwyn, we never have hosepipe bans up here. They built Keilder Water when we had lots of industry here to supply but then the industry disappeared so we have more than enough water.

Joy, today is also Black Bear Day and Tabletop Day - the Americans do celebrate some strange things.

Enjoy your day whatever you are doing.
