Good Morning Sunday 28th September 2024

Good morning, it’s cold, dark and dry here in south Glos, it was a lovely day yesterday but rain’s forecast for the afternoon here today.
After an early dog walk I got the washing finished, it dried beautifully on the line and spent several hours in my summerhouse doing some embroidery. DH put up a little shelf with shaker pegs underneath, it looks good.
I also had a happy hour putting away the art materials I’d taken to Somerset and tidying the room I do my craft bits in.
Today I will get the ironing done first thing while DH is walking the dog, I think we’ll have pork chops for lunch, new potatoes and vegetables. I might make a crumble too.
I had really weird dreams last night, a recurring one where I’m stuck on a high rocky crag surrounded by water - I hate heights- and it’s miles away from where I need to be. It’s quite panic-inducing 😵‍💫 probably all due to my O2 levels dropping badly at night 🤷🏼‍♀️
Never mind, the actual likelihood of that happening in real time is zero!
Have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning from Shropshire where rain is forecast.

Glad you are recovered from your theatre trip Mick.

We had a lovely day yesterday celebrating H with family, friends and his new classmates.

This morning we will go to mum’s house to sort out the fridge, collect more clothes and also get the phone numbers for the gardener, cleaner and hairdresser.DD2 and family will spend the morning with mum.We will meet them for lunch then we will spend the afternoon with mum.

My thoughts are very much with everyone dealing with illness, worries and struggles💐

Have the best day you can everyone🦩

Morning Mick, morning All, it’s dark and dry out there at the moment. Heavy rain due by lunch time, oh dear.

Enjoyed wandering shops yesterday, the sun shone, not too busy - didn’t buy a thing, just gathered ideas. Fast asleep by 9 last night, just woken up. Having joined me for an early night Mr C is still fast asleep, that man could sleep for the world.

I think that was sensible yesterday mick, we all need recovery time now and again.

No idea what today will bring here, a wait and see day which is fine.

With thoughts to everyone managing challenges. Hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from a dry Bristol (for the moment). The sky is becoming pink on the eastern horizon.
I did a lot yesterday for some reason - laundry, dust rearranging, floor washing, a visit to the library, making cranberry marmalade.
In the late afternoon, I suddenly felt very unwell again, nothing specific. I’m blaming that RSV vaccine from last week. I hope the covid one week won’t have the same effect.
An empty again today, apart from church.
I hope those is distress have some relief.
Have a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from N Surrey where I think it has just rained..again, but looks like the sun is coming up. For the first time for ages I slept right through the night till 6.00. In fact when I looked at the clock I thought it must be 12.30 from the hands. But 6.00 is amazing. Now I must think what was different. I was very tired and I left the heating on overnight low as the evening was chilly. Whatever it was it was great to have 8 hours sleep even if for just one night. I wish you all a good Sunday...I think its the 29th Mick.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A lovely sunrise this morning. I hope we are set for a dry day today; DD is running a half marathon in the Peak District and the terrain is rather unforgiving. I had a rather snotty letter from the council yesterday to say someone had reported that the hedge that runs adjacent to my boundary wall is blocking the pavement. It isn’t, and I go to a great deal of expense to make sure it doesn’t. So I sent them a snotty email back. Watch this space! Oddly enough I had a weird dream last night where one of my neighbours set his dog on me (all my neighbours are lovely) and I ended up taking refuge on a hospital staircase. No real plans for today. I might drive down to the local pub and have a Sunday lunch and then immerse myself in a book.
Have the best day you can, folks.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

We enjoyed elder son and his family on their short visit. They told us they will be going on a road trip through France and Switzerland for Christmas. I was getting a bit anxious as my two sons still aren’t speaking.

Church this morning while OH (if he can get up in time) visits a local car boot sale. He wants to sell his honey (more jars are being delivered tomorrow) and will give the car boot place a recce.

We had our Sunday lunch yesterday so I’m not sure what we’re having today.

Have a good day everyone.🌹

Good morning from s somerset, the sky is very red and pretty but ominous, the wind is getting up again today and bad rainy weather is coming later

Lovely day out yesterday but I changed clothes three times, my house is warm but it is cool out away from the sun. I have the last summer to winter turnaround to do later, sandals to shoes, boots and sheepskin slippers. Raynauds is always lurking

I finished the last of my hand stitching last night, while watching the prime of miss Jean Brodie. I am hoping that more of the Maggie Smith films come on you-tube. I could do with a nice film today, while knitting

I may/may not go out for a walk today, I can hear spots of rain falling

Have a good day

Good morning from Malta where it’s a cooler 27°C today.

Yesterday was a scorcher but I got a lot done, plus walked the long way round to the shops. I was a sweaty mess by the time I got home. ‘Mad dogs and Englishmen’ sprung to mind!

Mass this morning followed by a chat with my friend who has now recovered from the nasty virus she had. I think it was the same one that the boys had.

There’s tennis to watch from China so that will keep me amused.

Hoping you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. It’s sunny here but only 4 degrees outside.
I had a fairly busy day yesterday, changed the bedclothes, washed them and got them dry outside. I went for a walk, then continued tidying the garden and filling the garden waste bin. Then I sorted out some very old stuff that was in the garage but hadn’t been used in years, some went straight into the bin, but some stuff will go to the tip this week. There’s a lot more to sort out, but I have to pace myself and I can’t reach the stuff on high shelves. Also moved the dust around in the dining room!
Will continue the garage clearing today. I’m going to DD2’s for dinner this evening, she’s cooking a roast dinner. It’s a while since I’ve had a roast!
I hope Sunday is kind to us all.

Good morning from Durham. A cool, but dry day forecast.

I’ll get DD2’s laundry on the line outside. DGS2 had a lovely time here yesterday afternoon.

I’m going to watch DGS1’s swimming lesson this morning, then take him and his parents out for a late breakfast.

Hopefully meet a friend for hot chocolate later.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from the bottom bunk in my granddaughter's bedroom in a village in Cornwall. No idea what the weather's doing. The house is still asleep but dreckly my daughter-in-law will be taking my grandson to play a football match and my son will be on a train to London where tomorrow he's giving a presentation on building safety measures learnt from Grenfell Towers. That leaves my granddaughter who will do puzzles while I sew her brother's latest Beavers badges on his uniform. We may watch Hey Duggee. 😁 Later I'll get a bus home from just up the lane. A sweet day.

Good morning from a chilly and cloudy Black Country.

Fairly busy day yesterday, most of the holiday washing done. Video call with Mum, chat with DD.

Just finished a kettle ball workout. There are videos on You Tube to follow. Bought the Kettle Balls for £3 from a charity shop. Thought it maybe cheaper than joining a gym!

No real plans today, as have a busy week coming up. May contact my friend who lives nearby to see if she fancies a walk if the weather stays dry.

Bellasnana I chuckled at 27 deg being cooler. It was that temp last week on holiday in Skiathos, and that was more than hot enough for me!

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Quiet day but will be on cooking duties as hubby helping son number three with refitting his kitchen. Hoping no accidents and all goes well.🤞day to myself and work tomorrow so will keep quietly busy.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry with just a few light grey clouds, there’s quite a mild day ahead with a forecast of 14°
Good to hear you’re enjoying your summerhouse now roses, definitely worth the wait!
Not sure of our plans yet today, it’ll either be gardening or out for a walk somewhere
We’ve got a few shelves full of stuff in the garage like that redcar bit by bit I’m getting through it when DH isn’t around 🤫
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 6° and very cloudy. I expect rain will fall. Yesterday I had a quietly productive day. Lots of housework, washing, bed stripping etc. I visited dd and the boys for a piece of her fabulous chocolate brownie. I made mince in the slow cooker and had it with mash for dinner. I have turned it into a cottage pie for tonight and have three more lots in the freezer.
Today I'm making lentil soup in the slow cooker. I'll make Eve's pudding too. Apart from that, a little ironing and I'll do a bit of weeding. I might go to the garden centre for compost and finish planting bulbs. Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone from a gloriously sunny Málaga. Not even a whisper of a breeze and we are set for 31°C later.

We are going out for lunch, passing through the lobby and out into the Big Wide World. Well, as far as Juan’s anyway! Meeting our neighbours who hail from Glasgow and who keep an eye on our place when we are not here.

It’s a public holiday today so it will be rammed with happy holidaying locals so our friends have booked a table for 2pm.

I took this photo in the gardens yesterday. 😁

Good morning from N Bucks where it is fair, but grey and chilly.
I packed up my summer things into travel bags ready to go into the loft and was taken aback at just how many pairs of white jeans and linen trousers I seem to possess.
And in three different sizes!
I binge watched “Ludwig” until late last night so have no plans for anything strenuous today!
May it be a kind and peaceful one for you all.

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 7°C with cloudy skies.

We had a lovely family day yesterday at DD's. She went to so much trouble and for a change, I sat doing nothing.
Dollie's best friend turned up unexpectedly, just before we all arrived. DD lives in a village, as does the friend's gran. However Dollie (who lives in the town) and pal secretly hatched a plan to meet up at school the previous day.
They innocently thought we hadn't sussed them out. 🤣

Off to Mass and people to waylay, procrastination due to my holiday and still feeling rather unwell has resulted in a backlog of admin.

Ash, such sad news yesterday.

Gramnaretto, so pleased to hear your studio open day went well and that a well known, GM thread visitor popped in.

Have a good day folks.

Such

Early start as DS is off to visit DGD2 and baby, but after a late night I am a bit slow off the mark. We had a lovely evening with delicious fillet steak from our wonderful local butcher and it was so nice to have him on his own for a change, much as I do love DDiL, DGS and the dog. Might go to church if DS goes in time but no other plans.

Morning from an overcast S Hants, rain due later on, yesterday I picked the last tomatoes, mostly green, today I’ll make chutney, then later curry for dinner, the kitchen will be ‘highly fragrant’.
Mr J will be off soon to watch our grandson play football while I nip out for missing ingredients.
I’m pleased your summerhouse is giving you so much pleasure Roses a labour of love comes to fruition.
I hope glammagran enjoyed her birthday celebrations 🥳🎂.

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

Lazy start for us before we get organised for DGD1's birthday tea party somewhere in North Derbyshire. She is 16 today. DGD4 was 11 yesterday and appears to have had a great day. At this end of September we have the birthdays of 2 sons, 2 brothers, a sister in law and an Aunt - who was 94 yesterday.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone from DD's in East Northants, where it is dry and a fine day promised. Still in bed while I wait for the rest of the house to wake up.

DD's concert last night was excellent - the band played a selection of British music in the first half, then in the second it was the traditional Last Night of the Proms, with much flag saving and enthusiastic singing.

A fraught journey to get here; having left in plenty of time, my bus into town was so slow that I feared I would miss my connection. Arrived at the bus station with a couple of minutes to spare, only to be kept waiting for 20 minutes while the driver took an extended tea break! Once aboard though, everything went smoothly and I was dropped off less than 100 yards from DD's front door.

Watched a bit of rugby on tv, then DS-in-law went for fish and chips, before we headed off for the concert, accompanied by two friends from our wine club.

Was pleased to find when we got home that our rugby team had had a good win, so we watched a recording of the match before bed.

A leisurely breakfast awaits later, then DD will drop me back home.
Hope all have a good Sunday.

Good morning all oh I’m soo tired today from the east coast of Fife soooo sorry
