A very good morning everyone. Wow T'Bird, that is some view. You couldn't be more handy for your departure. I'm with you regarding ship size and would definitely want to opt for a smaller one like yours. I am also with you in preferring ink pens. I have a beloved Sheaffer - other pens are available - fitted with an italic nib which is my preferred script. One day I would like to treat myself to a Mont Blanc. I hope that you enjoyed your gin day. I would love seeing the helicopters and sea planes.
Biglad, I'm counting on you today - we had rain here late yesterday afternoon. In one way good as my garden is very dry despite this wet Spring and it will have helped settle the soil in round my newly planted out treasures. 80+ plants to go in is a scary thought but it will look wonderful when completed. I like that Aucuba.

Good morning Topbird and LB and all to follow. The smaller ship sounds much better than being on one of the larger less personal cruise liners and a good view around you.. Enjoy your day. Hope the food is good. LB it’s amazing how quickly the garden can dry out even when we’ve had rain. I’ve enjoyed a cup of tea and some breakfast and catching up with the news. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had a stylish pen which is a good writer as I’d want to attend the shop and scribble rather than ordering by post but I have a few freebies in my pencil case.
Good morning Debs and Rosie. You weren't there when I posted Debs but I do hope that you can get out to eat in your garden today. It sounds as though we have some hot weather coming up soon. Yay!
Rosie, I agree with you about trying before buying when it comes to pens. I've had my cereals and tea and I am ready for whatever the day throws at me. Making a quick visit first.

Morning everyone, There's a big round yellow thing in the sky this morning. Do hope it stays all day. @Topbird lovely view from your window. And great you're so close for departure. I agree, I'd hate to be on one of the larger ships. I like a nice pen too, some definitely make hand writing much better. And some are so uncomfortable to hold. I'm going to do a few unmentionables, also get some wet cloth things on the whirly thing. Then I'm going to have a lazy afternoon in the garden reading. Great snoopy pic @Ladybird4 are you going to see your family today. @wfnp5bk4spsSNFYKh1 hope you're feeling better now.
Good morning SGL. Yes, I am visiting today but going just a little bit later then usual. No yellow disc here yet but I live in hope - especially if Biglad gets into his garden!

Good Morning Topbird, Debs, LB, Rosie, SGL, Hazel & Rubee and all to follow, Topbird What a view of the harbour! So pleased you arrived safely and getting ready to embark on the cruise, the size of your ship sounds far more pleasant to be on. Enjoy the onward journey 🛳 Debs Have a lovely lunch with your friends, hopefully outside 🤞 LB I hope the weather is kind today, have a nice visit to your rellies, Rosie I hope you slept well, a nice pen is a pleasure to write with I like to use a good one when sending cards, SGL Sounds like a nice plan for the day, get the unmentionables out of the way and have a lovely afternoon reading in the garden, Hazel Have fun starting your new border today, it will be a nice addition to your garden, Rubee Lovely keepsakes from your grandma, hope you enjoy time in your garden today, Yvie You did well to remove two trees yesterday, lovely to see lots of bees in the garden, Dove I’m pleased your OH is feeling better, fingers crossed for the results of your mammogram 🤞 Late start so I’m all behind on my routine, have a lovely day everyone.
Morning all, Off for a blood test in a minute, apparently my sugar levels are a bit high. Hopefully it will be back to normal now I have reduced my calorie/sugar intake. Hopefully I can then get back in the garden as I want to tie up my New Dawn rose. Not looking forward to it as it's a prickly bu**er. Might edge the lawns too. Still need a few plants for the revamp where the trees were. I feel another trip to Ashwoods coming on. That's a very busy view @Topbird plenty to keep your eye on. Never got to grips with a fountain pen, always used to smudge everything and get ink all over me.

Sorry @Ladybird4 - I've got a few hours work to do today. I'll definitely be in the garden more during the coming week though
