Good Morning Wednesday 26th June 2024

Good morning from Durham. A disappointingly cloudy day yesterday, but today, I hope the sun might make an appearance, but only 21 degrees.
I was out of the house 14 hours yesterday, haven’t slept well and feel like a washed out rag!
However, I’ve a friend coming for coffee this morning, then a quiet afternoon.
Hoping our poorlies continue to improve.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning all from the Black country where it is overcast and muggy.
DH has arranged for a day out on the Severn valley railway today, with a visit to Arley arboretum.
Hope MissOops is improving.
Enjoy your day everyone whatever your plans, safe travels those on the move ☀️.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from a - dare I say it - chilly South Yorkshire at the moment. The sun is due out later. Everyone was complaining about the heat at school yesterday; even the children were wilting! Writers group for me this afternoon and then I must get the front lawn cut. GrandMattie say hello to Ladybower for me; it’s my special place. If you drive up to the Derwent arm, there’s a museum on the dam wall to the Dambusters who did their training runs there, and views of Derwent reservoir.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from Malta. It’s about 33°C today.

With the boys as usual. This is my last full week of caring for them as DD3 breaks up for summer holidays.

Later I have someone coming to put film on my front patio doors, supposed to help keep the sun and nosey passers by out!

Wishing you all a good day. ☀️

Good morning from a bright and already warm south Glos where it’s going to be another hot day.
I had my hearing aid review yesterday and, as I suspected, my hearing has deteriorated considerably. I decided to upgrade my hearing aids so a return visit to town in a couple of weeks.
I bought some much reduced plants in B&Q, including two patio roses and got the car washed on the way home.
Today a dog walk in a minute then housework ☹️
Stay safe in the heat everyone 🌹

Good morning everyone from Inverness, we’ve light grey cloud and a forecast of 20° here today, our heatwave is definitely over for now!
Sounds like a lovely holiday gMattie lots of interesting places to visit
A busy day ahead, I’ve a volunteering session this morning then out for lunch with all the volunteers as a thank you. This evening we’ve tickets to see DGD in her musical theatre show at Eden Court, so I’m hoping DH feels well enough to attend.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from s somerset, hot but not too hot today

I generally live in a cave during this weather and managed to remain comfortable all day yesterday,hoping to do similar today. My sensible hat is well and truly on. I did potter all day yesterday, watering the essentials early and late also berry picking when the sun was not intense

I am expecting some essential vac storage later today. I will complete the airing cupboard renewal if the bags arrive. A tip trip for 9am with lots of rosemary prunings, any excuse to `test` the new tyres on my car, I had four new 4 season tyres yesterday. I had similar on my land rover when I lived in s wales, they always felt so safe for driving on some bleak roads

Have a good day

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, another very hot day forecast, but the weather is due to break tomorrow.

Cut the front grass first thing yesterday before it got too hot, then took the rest of the morning easy. I managed to get out to the walking group yesterday afternoon, but we chose to do a much shorter route, and retired early to the sports centre for our most welcome drinks.
Sat in the garden shade when I got back and read more of my book.

Nothing really planned.for today; shall try and stay cool.

Happy holidays again!

Good morning from a misty Tideswell. This was the view from the kitchen last night.

We had a good journey, although we got “lost” twice, once on the way to .Tewkesbury, the other getting to a service station 🤨

Tewkesbury is gorgeous, the abbey most interesting. Th3 town was adorned with the heraldic flags of the knights who fought in the eponymous battle in 1471, I think. Lovely place.

We then drove to Tideswell in the murderous (for me) temperature of 29+C, and DS refuses to use the air-con…. I did persuade him to haven’t on for a few minutes after the car had satin the sun!

We had a lovely little walk in the village, which was also full of decorations, discovering that it is carnival week here and is full to the brim! Lovely pub dinner,back for DS to watch the lacklustre England game.

Today we shall probably go to Ladybower reservoir and/or Peverell castle. Chatsworth is out as it requires a king’s ransom as entry fee. We are not sufficiently interested to pay that much.

DS fancies visiting Bakewell for a tart. I’m happy to do what he wants.

Enjoy today, one and all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick, morning all from overcast South Lanarkshire.

No sunshine here yesterday, warm but quite oppressive, I expected thunder which didn’t happen.

Packing for our holiday is top of my list today, everything but the kitchen sink probably, and we will have a child or two in our car.

Have the best possible day everyone.

Good morning Mick it should be cooler tomorrow, so hopefully better for you.
I couldn’t get back to sleep after waking earlier, another warm day here down south.
Yesterday jobs were done early, watering late, MrJ and I had a bbq and it will be repeated tonight.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 were disappointing.
I hope MissOops continues to improve along with others who are poorly.
Enjoy your trips out and meet ups today.
🦩🦩

Good morning, all, from a bright and sunny Sarthe.

Do take care, Mick, if the heat doesn’t suit you. I expect you are out early before the temperature reaches its highest peak. I hope MissOops is feeling better today; it must be so exhausting, especially with the heat.

Thank you for several lovely comments yesterday about the photos of DH’s house and garden. “The best of both worlds..” is very true, Gingster!

Early start planned to hit Lidl before it's too hot.

Keep cool, if you can. Happy hump day! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
