Good morning everyone it's another lovely bright morning. Let's hope the breeze has died down. To be fair there was plenty of sunshine yesterday as long as you were out of the wind.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

A sunny start here though not warm outside. Forecast to get cloudier later. Not as windy as the last couple of days.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning all 

A bright and chilly start to the day.

I bought a new mindfulness colouring in book to while away some time.

My blackbird hasn’t appeared this year - the one that came to the window for his raisins - but, another male has been visiting the garden and he sings beautifully in the morning and in the evening,

Have a good day and stay safe, everyone.

Good morning overcast here but dry, I’m going for a walk shortly and then going to get stuck in to some paperwork. July 4th sounds so far away right now, it’s hard to not despair! 

I’m glad you’re all doing well, yogi your colouring book sounds fabulous- what picture will you be doing next? 
I think I need to start a creative project for rainy days, painting in the garden is for better weather

Don’t despair, we will get through this .

The colouring book is Stained Glass, flower designs.

Yogi, I wonder if that blackbird may be tempted by some raisins.
I hope you like your new colouring in book

I might give it a go with the raisins to see if I can encourage the new blackbird to trust me.

I hope that works

Just had one of those scammer recorded phone calls saying that £300 had been taken out of my Visa card 15 minutes ago and to press 1 to talk to someone

Sweet, keep thinking positively. July will be here before you know it  

I hope you enjoy your walk

I’m sure the new will blackbird will be easy to lure to a nice tasty raisin, especially for someone so who is so in tune with wildlife as you are 

Good morning everyone  

Its breezy, but not as cold as yesterday. It’s sunny too

I have shopped, mask and gloves on of course, so I am okay until at least Friday 

I hope you are all well and have a good day. Stay safe 

Moonie, I'm glad you've done your shopping safely

When I go to the Co-op for shopping I've used a large cotton handkerchief. It's 40 cm by 40 cm so much larger than most. Fold diagonally, cover bottom of nose and mouth, tie the ends twice at the back of my head. As it's tied twice it doesn't come loose and remains in place without slipping. Remove it when I get home and wash it. Also have a bottle of alcohol based hand sanitiser which I take with me.

Less need to do that at the M&S store at present though that may change when other shops there re-open. That's on the outskirts and so there's no walking along streets.

Just sent this to my clients who may be claiming Universal Credit at present. My institute, the ICAEW, has sent me an email today about this. For those who are claiming, you have to notifiy the Universal Credit people about your income and this would include the self employment income support scheme grant which could therefore impact on the amount of Universal Credit you get. The ICAEW has mentioned that, at this time, there is no deadline as to when to make the claim under the self employment income support scheme. So they say that one could delay making a claim under the self employment income support scheme until you came off Universal Credit.

I can't say when or if there will be a deadline for making self employment income support claims - that would be just speculation. I thought I should make you aware of this before the claim system launches as from tomorrow.

 My dad had one of those a few months ago. Fortunately he is suspicious by nature and we had warned him about similar scams.
