Good Morning Monday 12th May 2025

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle.
Yesterday was hot, we reached 22°C. I was out in the garden in the morning, tending to my runner beans which I have put in large pots this year in the hopes that the slugs will be easier to control. They decimated the beans last year. I have the greatest respect for their indestructible qualities having once found one clambering over a prickly cactus in a former greenhouse.
I went out in the afternoon too but soon had enough, it became really warm and sultry and clouds gathered. I didn't think it would rain though and it didn't so it will probably be out with the hose today.
My morning will be spent on the weekly chores, the vacuuming, bed changing and laundry etc. My afternoon, in the garden? More plants to hack into the ground still.

Best wishes to all those coping with medical matters, I hope all goes well for you all.

Happy birthday harri 🎂🎈

Good morning from sunny Suffolk with no hint of rain. This hot sun is great for shrivelling the small weeds I hoed yesterday.

DH is off to the surgery for a blood test and I’ll do the morning dog walk which will be short . DH is the little dog’s favourite and she will be anxious to get home to see where he is. He was in hospital for 10 weeks at the end of 2021 and she continued to search the house for him for the first 7 weeks of his absence.

A quiet day in the shade of the garden or the summerhouse for the rest of the day. I hope all is well for those attending medical appointments today with positive outcomes.

Good morning. Bright and sunny in N. Bucks at the moment but not sure what the weather will do later.
We will be going out to do a few errands. I need some supplies for craft club. We’ll take the car to be cleaned and MIL has asked us to buy some wine. On the way home we’ll pop into the garden centre to pick up a couple of plays I forgot on Saturday. Might sneak in some lunch in the cafe too.

Good luck with all the hospital/doctor appointments and happy holidays to those on their travels.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning from a sunny W Kent.
Cleaner this morning, I shall start the packing for going away Thursday. Yesterday was spent in the garden reading plus a pile of ironing.
Best wishes to all those with hospital appointments and procedures today

Morning all from a brightening North Leicestershire. Guess who believed the weather forecast and didn't put the garden cushions away.🌧🌧

Have a very Happy Birthday, Harri🎂💐🍷.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton, but showers forecast this afternoon. Yesterday was beautiful and I managed to get the back grass cut even though it was like a jungle after 4 weeks away. The mower batteries needed extra charging it was so long. I will ask the gardener to trim the edges if he has time on Thursday.

Giving yoga a miss this morning as I don't feel quite ready for an early start just yet, and am planning a day of gently catching up on household tasks and admin.

Thinking of the FGT2s and Grandmabatty today.
Enjoy the sunshine 🌞 everyone.

Good morning from a dull and cloudy Black Country where it rained overnight.

Yesterday was very sunny and quite hot. So glad we put the Gazebo up Saturday morning.

Walking group walk this morning, then Line Dancing this afternoon.

Hoping all goes well today Grandmabatty and thoughts with the FGT's that they have a positive outcome.

Enjoy Llandudno Whiff I have been but it was many years ago.

Hope Marydoll had a good weekend.

Wishing you all the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. We had a very brief storm in the night, with a light shower. A lovely day yesterday, pulled up a few weeds but nothing much else. Went to DD1’s in the afternoon and sat in her garden chatting while she planted seeds with one of her daughters.
I had my usual catch up chat with my friend in Kent.
Nothing much planned for today, I may go for a walk this morning.
I hope *grandmabatty’s cataract procedure goes well today and that thefgts are reassured when they get the results of today’s tests.
My thoughts are with those who are suffering in any way.
Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning Mick and All from a sunny South Bucks.

Off to the dentist this afternoon for our 6th monthly check and hygienist 😳.

Have a lovely holiday Whiff in Llandudno. I’m off on hols on Thursday. 🤞good weather for us both.

Good morning all. Lots going on in ‘gransnet world’today.

Good luck for all the hospital appointments. Grandmabatty, Bellasnannas little chap, Ash, FGT’s . 🙏.

Enjoy your holiday Whiff a brave lady.
Safe journey Greyduster.

Bungee jumping too 😳.

I had a busy day yesterday, de cluttering DH’s clothes. He has so many and only wears the ‘same old things’. As he was downstairs watching tv, I filled 2 sacks with things that hadn’t seen the light of day for years. He’ll never know! 😉. I’ll do a sack load once a week . 👍.

I then mowed the lawn, stained the new bannister, cooked dinner and helped Dh do his excercises. DS1 and DIL came , so we sat down for tea and cake and had a good chat.

Today I’m going to my Chimes group. Dh will be fine on his own for a couple of hours. He has his safety alarm on and his phone beside him. Physio coming this afternoon.

Take care all , we might get some rain later 🙏.

Good morning all from a sunny corner of S E Essex.

Yesterday was glorious, we walked down to our local bistro for breakfast. The rest of the day was spent in the garden, DD and her boys joined us late afternoon for a game of rounders and a BBQ.

Today I have the gym first thing, then a leisurely afternoon in the garden perusing holiday brochures.

Fingers crossed your cataract surgery goes ahead this time Gramdmabatty

Thinking of those with troubles and illnesses 🌸

Enjoy the sunshine those fortunate to have this fabulous weather 🌞🙋‍♀️

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset.

Although we drove back through heavy showers yesterday there had been no rain here. May get a storm today, suspect we won’t. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal and being with family yesterday. Back to reality today with meter changes, our smart meter stopped sending readings a year ago.

Thinking of all with challenges today. Have the best day you can everyone.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. We had a lot of rain overnight which is wonderful for the garden.

Our cleaner should be here this morning and I’ll do the weekly shop. After lunch I’ll pop over the road for my friend’s monthly craft afternoon.

I’m thinking of the FGT2S especially today as they must be worrying about their hospital appointment this afternoon.

Good morning all from an overcast Black country where it rained overnight.
DH has a birthday today meeting the family later for a meal otherwise a quiet day.
Happy birthday to harrigran 🎉🎁🎂.
Hope all goes well for your op Grandmabatty.
Thoughts also with FGTs hope they get reassurance.
Have a good holiday Whiff.
Have the best day you can everyone, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed ☀️.

Good morning from the Essex coast where we have glorious sunshine.
Yesterday was a busy but very enjoyable day.
Medals day at the rugby club then a BBQ at DH'S eldest daughter's house.
The twins were 8 Yesterday so presents and cake too.
My 13 year old DGD's team were runners up in a netball competition, lots of smiling faces there.
A quieter day today, admin, washing and ironing.
I hope all goes well for Grandmabatty and the FGT's.
Best wishes to all xx

Good morning from a from a dreary and damp Torbay.

I hope your cataract operation goes ahead this time, Grandmabatty. Best wishes to your DGS for his stay in hospital, Bellasnana. Thinking of the FGT’s.

After my exercise class today I have an appointment at the hospital for a genicular nerve ablation in my knee which might give (temporary) relief from the osteoarthritis. No driving for 24 hours afterwards.

Safe journey, Greyduster.

Have a good week, everyone. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Enjoy your holiday whiff

Good morning from a cloudy midlands. It rained during the night and saves me from watering the plants.
Still in bed and feeling gloomy.
Hugs to all who are suffering.

Off to Llandudno today until Friday. Never been before so it will be adventure. Staying at primier inn as they have accessible rooms for walking disabled like me and wheelchair ones. Brilliant rooms plenty of space . Taxi coming at 7.30 and have travel assistance for the trains . Don't care what the weather is like as usual packed for all seasons 🤣. Have a good week everyone.

Good morning all. Partly cloudy start in Glasgow until 11.00am when we have wall to wall sunshine reaching a high of 22deg. Garden sprinklers will be on early evening to give the garden a thorough much needed soak.

DG2’s 16th birthday today. DD1 is taking her, her friend and GD1 bunji jumping, permission given by friend’s mum. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I will be glad when it’s over and they are back on terra firma.
I am going to there’s around 10.00 to give GD her birthday gift and share some birthday cake for elevenses before they leave at noon. This is something they have mentioned they would love to do so will be excited with the news that’s what is happening today. I had my booster yesterday, so far so good just a bit of a tender arm. This afternoon I intend to enjoy my favourite pastime, foutering around in the garden covered in factor 50.

Wishing FGTs, Grandmabatty best of luck for today and thoughts with Marydoll

Best wishes to all for a good day and to those with worries, a better day.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where we have broken cloud for a change. Yesterday was a very quiet day. I woke up with a headache and terrible tinnitus which I couldn’t seem to “tune out”. Spent a little time in the garden but mostly indoors out of the heat.
We have a long drive down to South Wales for a funeral today. Long drive - sad day.
Have the best day you can folks.

Grammaretto fingers crossed for the house viewing!

Good morning from Shropshire.Some rain overnight.The forecast is for sun this morning and rain this afternoon,

We will be driving over to Staffordshire later to collect DGS1 from school.I have ten badges to sew on his Beaver uniform!

Hoping all goes well for Grandmabatty, FGT’s and Bellasnana’s little one.

I hope you like the house Grammaretto.

Wishing everyone a good day🌻🦩
