Good morning from a dry NE where the sun is just appearing.
I have had a message from my window cleaner to say he is coming today, I hope it is first thing as my friend is taking me shopping this morning.
Sister visited yesterday, we shared a pot of tea and had a chat, she is way more mobile than me and she is 83.
Have a good day.

Good Morning Michael and everyone, it's going to be hot today. Keep cool and take care.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex where we have cloudless blue skies and sunshine again. It felt cool when I let the dog out just now, probably because it’s very warm indoors! The dog is quite unsettled still as the family are away, she will be better when she’s had a walk (with a dog walking lady). I’ll have a walk to get a paper and a few bits of shopping then settle down to watch some Olympics alternating with sitting in the sun. I’ll be wearing lots of sun cream.
Good luck to those with doctor and dentist appointments, hope all goes well for you. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning from South Lanarkshire, I think we’re to have another warm day.

My strength and balance class seemed a little more difficult yesterday for some reason. I actually have some achy muscles today.

I’m doing a short shift at the charity shop as I don’t want to leave DH for too long yet although he is doing really well. His brother and wife are visiting this afternoon, I’m hoping for sunshine so we can have tea outside.

I’m glad your grandsons have settled at nursery

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from Malta where it is already hot and we have got a power cut until 11.30. No joke in this weather.🥵

I shall probably go to the garden centre this morning as my outdoor areas look a bit sad. I know I will be condemning any plants I buy to death but hope they will last the summer at least.

Yesterday I had my nails done, cleaned my car and put petrol in before joining DD3 to collect the boys. They have settled down well and seem happy.

Had a chat with DD1 who has my beloved granddaughter (her niece) staying with her in DC. We were discussing DD2 (DGD’s mum) who has gone extremely thin. We are both worried about her.

Sorry to ramble on. I hope you have a good day and can enjoy the better weather while it lasts.☀️

Good morning everyone it’s to be another hot day here on the east coast of Fife the temperature is meant to be 53 - 69 degrees .
I’m looking forward to sitting in my garden today, I’ll be wearing lots of sun cream as I don’t want another basil cell carcinoma.
It’s a good job we’re a devolved nation otherwise our pensioners would have their winter heating allowance removed it’s a bloody disgrace .

Have a good day my friends as best you can

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and clear. Greyduster like Pantglas bramble picking would be September here too. Ash that's good news about your ankle holding up to exercise.
Yesterday was a busy day with the boys. Soft play was a very good idea because they ran and climbed for an hour and a half then home. In the late afternoon we went into the garden and they didn't want to go home. I went to bed extremely early.
Today we might go to the park early on. Then it will be a day in the garden.If I can find it, I'll bring out the paddling pool. I bought it last year and it hasn't been out of the box. Have a good day all.

Good morning all from another bright day in north Wales where I’m about to partake of the chamberpot ☕️ and enjoy my morning mindfulness under the 🌳

Those blackberries are early Greyduster, it’ll be September here before I’m jamming 🫙or 🥧 making! All that honey LLFL…😋

A trot to Llandudno today on various errands and hopefully a pleasant afternoon reading in the garden will do me as I have friends over tomorrow evening for 🍹and nibbles - let’s hope the weather lasts 🤞

Take care on your travels everyone and may you all have reason to smile 😊 x

Morning all from what promises to be a hot West Oxfordshire.

I will be up before 7 am to send an Engage Consult message to my GP. I have one or two niggles and this is the best way to get in touch. I should get a call back and if she thinks I should be seen, an appointment today.

While I’m waiting for a call back, I will help OH put his latest batch of honey into jars - about 70 of them!

Have a good day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is coming up in South Yorkshire. I had hopes of some rain last night but no. Yesterday’s long hot trip into town on the bus to go to our one and only bank turned out to be totally unnecessary and if I never go into the city centre again it will be too soon! Today, a cleaning day is on the cards and then I’ll go into the lane and pick some blackberries. There are quite a lot ripe and ready. Earlier this year, I think.
Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from a bright Bristol.
DS has arrived safely home in Pune, after travelling for a long time, poor chap. He starts work tomorrow!
I had a fairly busy day - stripped the bed, washed bedding and remade it, walked to Waitrose and back (20 minutes each way), stopped at the library; sewed on the last bindings for edging on my quilt and watched a bit o& the Olympics.
In the early evening, I went to Cleveden to a WI quiz. It was a great deal nicer than the last one; there were fewer attendees, 6 instead of 4 to a table and no team appeared to be “professional”. Water was provided as well between each set of questions. Some very arcane questions… my table won, but it was the last thing we expected!
Outdoor tai chi today, but because of the half hour walk each way, I’m not sure I’ll go due to the heat.
Have a good day and enjoy the sunshine☀️. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a warm Torbay where we have pretty skies as the sun rises and a welcome gentle breeze.

Yesterday, I enjoyed the Move It Or Lose It Class and, by wearing an ankle brace, I only needed to sit down when required by the teacher. Dare I say that the ankle, which I sprained in Lerwick in May, is improving at last?

I hope the week has started well for everyone and those who are travelling have safe journeys. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from s somerset, wall to wall sunshine today

I have a dental appointment this morning, an hour car journey from here

I will lurk in my dark cooler cave when I get back, I have a good professional book to read and that is all I will do today, my meals are sorted

This evening I will pick blueberries, they are almost finished and the strawberries have taken over, I grow those in troughs off the ground

Have a good day
