Good Morning Thursday

Welcome agranbytheendofthesummer (that’s a long one?!). 12Michael, aka Mick, starts this thread off every morning, and has done since time immemorial, after which we all jump in. The only time you will see someone else start the thread is if Mick is going to be away. It’s generally accepted and works very well.

Just found this thread; who is Mick?

Mick,as you were writing I was walking in Broughton Park Buckingham. Cool by the river, only a few dog walkers and joggers-lovely town .

It’s baking hot here in Norwich! No dog walking, just a quick wee walk, fan going full blast and curtains drawn, not a lot on telly except the hurly burly of the House of Commons!
I’ve known school children who behave better!

A late good day from a very hot Italy, 40 c on the shade and I've just been mopping the floor! A poignant day as it's 24 years since my 1st husband was killed in a road accident. To all those recently widowed it does get easier with time. I have remarried and I am happy again!

Good morning all from a very sunny Devon. We had a power cut last night starting at 8.40 & finally repaired at 2.40 this morning,very late night for me or should I say early morning. All my washing up to do now & get back to normal. Probably enjoy time in the garden later

harrigran Hope the hours fly by and it's soon over and done with.

Good morning from a very warm South Yorkshire- the thermometer reads 26C. We are in for a scorcher today, though thunder is predicted for this evening.
I think it might be a bit too hot for travelling about on buses today, Mick, so unless you really need to go out, I think you’d be better staying put. I intend doing just that today!
Whatever your plans for the day, I hope it’s a good one. Keep well hydrated. ?

Good morning from hot Colchester. 28 at present. The sun has not quite broken through the thin cloud yet.
I feel tired and headachy in this humid close weather and so do as little as possible.

O I have had a late morning. My excuse was getting some sugar water for the first peacock buttefly I have seen in ages.

Good morning from a sunny NE, 20 degrees and rising.
I have a hospital appointment this evening for a gastroscopy, can't eat after eleven and nothing to drink after three, just what I need on a hot day.

Morning all gransnetters! Very breezy here in. Norwich, but forecast very high temps! I slept so well last night, best nights sleep for ages! Must do a bit of housework today, no washing or ironing though!!
Off to Theatre this evening to see Matilda with family, it’s had brilliant reviews and I’m so looking forward to it.
Cold meal today! Too warm for cooking, although I do fancy a curry!
Keep ? cool

A very good sweltering morning to you all.
26° now rising to 34°??? this avo.
Completed my run at 06.40 as we spent 90 mins on a pretty steep and uneven route so I must have lost pounds in sweat - I was knackered.
After a long cool shower I felt much better and had a rhubarb yogurt and cappuccino - my only coffee of the day. Water from now on.
I'm doing JS for the rest of the day with shutters partially closed and fans doing overtime.
I'm sure that all of us will take the usual precautions when out and about in (what is to us in the UK) extreme heat and for those who aren't having the best of times...?
Take care

Morning all from an already hot South Notts. Am surprised to see a 'thermometer' on the new phone - which says 24 degrees - plenty hot enough I think.
A lazy day today but off to quilting this evening.
Hope all is well with you all.

Good Morning All x
Another lovely day with a gorgeous breeze from the sea blowing the curtains and wafting some air through from the back kitchen to the living room. All curtains closed, but patio door open.

I've kept moderately cool by not going out plus I've slept well too and didn't hear the storm the other night. All 3 cats go into hiding to find their cool specks somewhere.

Hoovered and tidied everywhere this morning----in just my pyjama bottoms before it heats up. I feel a jolly sight better in this weather than I do when it's cold !
The only thing I can't do is eat properly, sandwiches and fruit yesterday and the same today---with half a gallon of water through the day. It does no harm.

Keep as cool as you can everyone especially those in-land where it is hotter than the coast. Enjoy the day.

Morning Mick and All.

Last full day on hols. Off to the Art Deco theatre in Bournemouth for the matinee, will have the air con on constantly in the car. It’s slightly cooler here than back home in South Bucks. Normal weather resumes tomorrow. ?

Good morning from the NE coast where it is forecast a very warm day, with thunder storms predicted later on, set to continue over the next few days ? typical that I spent last weekend away in torrential rain and it looks like I might be spending this weekend at home in torrential rain again ! I really needed to get some jobs done in the garden this weekend.

I have little Evie over the weekend as DD is working so it would have been nice to spend some time outside with her .

Well that’s me off to “that place” thank goodness it’s Thursday .

Thinking of those who are not feeling very well

Have a good day everyone x

Your poor cat Nortsat. Thinking of you

Good morning all! Of course it is lovely in Leicester, as everywhere else today. I don’t think we will be very active somehow! Have good days.

Good morning Michael, Annie to come and all others. Michael, don’t go out in the midday sun.
“Mad dogs of Englishmen”, and all that. Stay in and stay cool.
Cloudless blue sky and very warm already here in Berks.
DH has a treatment later this afternoon, and I have a Dr’s appointment, but nothing else planned. I shall sit in the shade and crochet, and think about what to eat later on.
Have a good day one and all.

Good Morning everyone.
Very warm here on Severnside.
Yesterday’s diy job was unsuccessful so after doing a few more jobs I decided to clean the pebble fountain pump filter. That turned into a I’ll think I’ll give this area around it a revamp which will keep me occupied for a few days. I was very tired and slept well and woke late this morning.
Off to my craft class later.

Hopefully you will all try to stay as cool as you can ?

Good morning all. Grammaretto nice to see your positive sounding post.
My appt with Respiratory Physician yesterday went well and we have a clear plan to move forward. There will be some challenges but the plan is a good one.
We had a nice lunch out and enjoyed listening to music from 60's and 70's (Beatles, Stones, Who, Dylan ... etc) on Spotify on the lengthy journey home.
Arrived home in good spirits to find our poor cat Missy (aged 14.5 yrs) struggling to breathe. We rushed her to the Vet hospital, where she was diagnosed as having fluid on her lungs. This could be the result of infection, heart disease or cancer ... we have to wait for test results ...
Hope everyone has a good day and for people facing challenges ... sending you good thoughts ...?

Good morning from SE Essex it is already 26degrees!!!!

D, GC and I are off to Lakeside Shopping Center today, as it is air conditioned, thankfully so are our cars.

Keep hydrated and safe x

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Warming up even here but our highs will be 20s not 30s thank god.
Mick never mind watching the cycling, think of those poor cyclists!
Thanks for your good wishes yesterday. DH is off out early today working. It's a voluntary job but he has an overriding sense of duty and others are on holiday.
A charity is collecting old bikes today to mend/recycle them. make space
I hope you can all keep cool today. It can't last.
I hope you have more success than the CIA in getting into a locked device Marydoll!

Morning everyone,
Beautiful morning here in sunny Suffolk. Enjoying sitting in the conservatory while I can as it'll be far too hot for it later .
Have a wonderful day all x
