Good Morning Monday 12th May 2025

Good morning from a damp hillside in south Glos where we had some very welcome rain yesterday afternoon, accompanied by thunder. More forecast for today but we often miss it as the weather splits to either side of the hill.
I’m going into town first thing to collect my new glasses then we have a zoom meeting with our financial advisor - I’m not tech savvy so rather 😵‍💫 about it. We then have a face to face booking for next week- seems very much like overkill to me as our savings are meagre!
I enjoyed several hours in my Shed yesterday, drawing and crocheting in peace with tiddler accompanying me. We had two dog walks, a rather warm evening one despite keeping to the shade as much as possible.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where there's a thick mist.
I hope for rain for the garden.

Yesterday went as planned with decluttering all day interspersed by sitting drinking tea and chatting in the garden.

Today I have to miss the exercise class while I wait in for the washing machine repair man.

A nice house has come on the market so this afternoon I will view it.

I hope your op goes smoothly Grandmabatty and that the FGTs have reassurance at the hospital. 🙏

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from the Midlands. Looks but cloudy now but think it's going to ge a good day.
All the best Grandmattie, soon be over.

Thank you too Bellasnana. Best wishes for the wee one for his procedure tomorrow.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and cloudy. GrandMattie thank you.
Yesterday I tried to second guess what I needed to do in the house to make things easier after my eye op. I had a big Tesco delivery too of ready meals. I'm not usually a fan of them but they'll pop in the microwave with no bending. Dd has made me dinner for today and tomorrow. I spent the afternoon reading.
I'm doing the early childcare this morning then an hour in the school library. I want to be busy. My neighbour is taking me to the hospital later on this morning and DD is picking me up. I think tonight's dinner is chicken and bacon hotpot.☺️ Have a good day all.

Good morning from s somerset, thunderstorms warning today but I doubt it will happen

A glorious day yesterday, I am glad I went out on my bike and even managed to get up the very steep hill past the windmill, power assisted of course but still hard. The most wide-ranging and glorious views of somerset on the way back, I am feeling very lucky to live here

My ebay bargain new homedics massager seat came before I left, I unboxed it during the afternoon, it is immensely heavy and I used it, was wonderful. My residual hip/lower back ache completely vanished, cycling plus shiatsu did it. I managed to get it upstairs as I don`t want to be looking at it all day and it now resides on a lower comfy seat in my wellness room

Today I have an early haircut, only in town but I will probably take the car, in case the heavens open. No appointments for the rest of the week but always something to do

The birds are very vocal at this time of year, that plus the church bells, beautiful. The birds are drinking a lot from my water feature and I am having to top it up every day, I am glad to help them. Jackdaws are hiding, I think sitting on eggs. They keep me company all through winter

Have a good day

Good morning from Malta where another warm day is forecast with a high of 26°C.

Thank you for the good wishes yesterday, I had a lovely Mother’s Day with the family. We went to a local restaurant which also has a small farm ( the boys love to see the animals). They make their own cheeses amongst other things so lunch was delicious.

DD2 and DGD FaceTimed from the softball field where DGD had a match and I had a message from DD1 so all in all a lovely weekend feeling the love of my family.

Today littlest goes into hospital, all being well his surgery will be tomorrow, so I will be looking after brother and taking him to nursery later.

Thinking of the FGT’s, Grandmabatty and Marydoll and hoping all goes well.

Wishing a good day to all.☀️

Good morning from a grey Bristol. Just grey all day, but we had fairly heavy showers for about an hour in the late afternoon yesterday.
I had a quiet day yesterday, spent the afternoon hand sewing the quilt which will be finished this week.
Tesco this morning and an empty this afternoon.
Good luck 🍀 to the FGTs today, and to GMB for her operation, to MD for a better day, and to all those with troubles.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
