Good Morning Sunday 8th June 2025

To make made to measure cushions, the book called house, £20 from the foldline. I had my money back just by making one cushion. Very easy instructions, just use your own measurements. A very nice project tbh

I would quite like smaller cushions, maybe one day but transferring feathers into another cushion casing is no fun. I remember my mother doing that

Good morning from a sunny but breezy midlands. A day tidying up the garden.
Here’s a sweater I made for charity.

Thinking of the FGT's
Lovely cushions Karma and a lovely jumper why It will keep some kiddie warm in colder weather.Well done to you both.

Lovely cushions *Karma " and such a nice jumper whywhywhy

Good morning,
Sunshine and cloud here today with yet again a strong, chilly breeze. It would probably feel warmer if it wasn’t so breezy, though on the other hand I think it would rain - at least the breeze is blowing the clouds away for now.
I do hope you can have your ring repaired and re-sized Greyduster.

Good Morning from a bright, dry, sunny Durham. DGS2’s 4th birthday party was a success, although I got soaked to the skin just getting there from the carpark. Sad to see how frail his other Granny is, although she’s flying to Majorca today for 2 weeks.
All the tennis talk reminds me of being at Roland Garros, as DH’s company was one of the sponsors. I remember Tim Henman being warned for swearing!
Not a lot planned today, I’m feeling a bit chilled, but I’ve a bag of DD2’s laundry to keep me occupied and a few petunias to plant.

Best wishes to all.

Good morning from a sunny (for a change) south coast.
Yesterday’s visit to the Garden Show at Broadlands was really enjoyable as we managed to do all that we wanted to before the thunder and torrential rain. Today will be spent potting up and planting my wares!!
I have an hour of free electricity between 10 and 11 this morning and as my own washing is up to date it will have to be Peggy’s bedding. I simply can’t waste anything free!! 😂
Hope everyone has a peaceful and enjoyable Sunday.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire.

Yesterday it rained almost nonstop here again and I didn’t get out for a walk. Hoping we manage a walk today as I’m getting cabin fever! It’s warmer and not as windy, so fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for you too Grammaretto, hope the rain holds off and the garden party goes well.

Hope your leg pain lessens Kalu and you enjoy your Perthshire trip.

Lovely cushions Karma.

Glad the fete went well Marydoll, enjoy the ballet.

Sending positive vibes to FGT2 and Himself.

As always, my thoughts are with those dealing with illness and troubles, I hope the day brings you some comfort.

Have the best day you can, happy Sunday 🌹

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, but showers are forecast this afternoon.

So it will be another day 'home alone' for me, as it was yesterday. Just took it slowly, pottered about, read the papers, and caught up with a lot of tv. Cooked a nice steak for dinner and spent the evening watching Billy Joel on BBC2. What a talented composer/performer! More of the same today, except tonight's dinner is a mini gammon joint from Waitrose.

Wishing all a good day.

Karma I love your cushions

Yesterday’s hunt for small bags to house the tangle prone necklaces led to a major sort out of kitchen drawers which I hadn’t planned but which was sorely needed. So often one small job leads to another big one - or so it seems.

We are promised a dry day so maybe a bit of gentle garden tidying after church this morning. Missing FGT.

Kittylester I hope your husband isn't too unwell with covid and you escape it.

Good morning from sunny but chilly Cambridgeshire. I have been awake since 5 am and reading. I enjoyed my trip into Cambridge yesterday and bought a new duvet set. Just need to get on with decorating the bedroom now! I gardened all afternoon with a pleasing result.

Not much happening here today. I will cook roast pork and do more gardening and reading. Next week will be a busy one so will enjoy a quietish day today.

Hoping everyone has a good Sunday

Good morning from Leamington where a mixture of sun and showers is forecast.
Yesterday I watched DGD4 at her swimming lesson. She is now in the top group and it's mainly about stamina as they do length after length.
In the afternoon she went to a party, DGD3 went into town with her friends and S and I played numerous games of Uno (she is very competitive). She wasn't feeling too good but wouldn't admit to it and it caused a few words.
Nothing is planned for today apart from an early roast as DGD4 has a singing lesson at 5.
Wishing you all a lovely Sunday, best wishes xx

Good morning from Shropshire.Rain forecast from midday.

A day at home but quite a lot on the to do list as a busy week ahead again.We too have sibling wars with the grandchildren!Yesterday it was over a single piece of Lego which was vital to both their creations🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Ash I am so glad things have improved so much for you and you are able to go out and about again with confidence.

Love the bee cushion karmalady.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🌻🦩

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

Yesterdays torrents have cleared, showers forecast for today. I hope to get outside, some pot moving and weeding to do. Mr C will change the bed, I can’t grip the bedclothes to help so I’m best out of the way. I’m a bit down this weekend, being outside will help brighten me I’m sure.

Hope your husband isn’t too unwell kitty and you stay covid-free.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from a brighter N. Bucks after a very wet day yesterday.
Last evenings concert was most enjoyable. An eclectic mix of music and song and the acoustics were brilliant.
DGSs 2 & 3 called to tell us that they had both won their races at their first swimming gala. They were so pleased.
Today I’m off to join my scrapbooking pals, always a fun day.
Wishing all a good day with a smile along the way.

Good morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today as DH has covid. We should have gone to an outdoor performance of Taming of The Shrew but, obviously, couldn't go. Het ho!

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a sunny start to the day, just a few light clouds about
Enjoy your break away Kalu and hope your leg pain improves soon
I hope you can get your ring repaired and enlarged greyduster
Yesterday didn’t go to plan as DD2 asked if we’d go round to watch DGS whilst she went shopping with DGD. He’s at the age now where he definitely doesn’t want to go shopping, but he’s ok to be left home alone for a short time but not too long. It was nice to see him although we didn’t get much conversation! In the afternoon I went to the hairdressers, always lively and chatty. Today we’re planning pottering in the garden and a trip to the garden centre cafe as a treat later
Hope the rain holds off grammaretto and enjoy the party!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from a sunny (at present) Glasgow.)

Lovely to see you posting NanKate and sending best wishes to your DH.
LLFL, good luck with the car boot sale!

I was out of the house from 9am until well after 6pm, stopping for a Chinese takeaway en route. I am a very tired lady today.

Despite the torrential rain, our fête was a roaring success. I saw people I hadn't seen in years and many of my former pupils with their young families, it was a very happy day for our parish.
So far (and still counting) we have made approx £11, 000 for our restoration fund.

I was extremely weary and took myself over to the church for some quite time and a break. Suddenly I heard a key in the lock 😱 ( I always lock myself in) it turned out to be the young sacristan, I was training. He asked if I was free to talk to his friend, a former pupil of mine.
This extremely tall and handsome young man came in and gave me an enormous hug. He then handed me beautiful flowers.
Of course I was puzzled, because I hadn't seen this pupil for fifteen years. He told me that he had never forgotten the influence I had on him, especially as he had an over inflated ego and had been extremely arrogant. ( His words!) He now realised how I had seen his potential and had set him on the right path.
This was so unexpected and I could feel my eyes filling up.
In my present fragile emotional and physical state, it gave me such a boost.😭

Today we are off to Dollie's ballet show. Thankfully, the road to the venue has reopened after a week of chaotic diversions. Otherwise, we would have had a much longer drive over the braes.
However, I am so far behind with the parish website, I need to work on that before I go out.

I was sorry to hear about FGT, at a time when needs support.
I think she was suspended previously and GNHQ are very strict regarding this, regardless of how heartbreaking their situation is. They make no exceptions.💐

I wish you all a pleasant Sunday and safe journey Kalu..

Morning, we have sun after yesterdays cold and rain, we went to a wedding reception last night, did I really used to wear skimpy summer dresses in 10 degrees! My Raynauds really put a downer on the evening.
Today I'm going to lift the first new potatoes to have with pork steaks for dinner, sow some more lettuce and beetroot before meat draw in the pub.
Have a lovely holiday Pantglas and I hope you enjoy your break Kalu.
FGT 🥰

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and bright. Kalu enjoy your time in Perthshire but a pity about your leg. Glammagran sibling wars! We have them here too, sometimes. Bellasnana it sounds like you needed that nap.
Yesterday was busy. The garden centre for birthday cards and presents first of all. It was quiet but filling up as I left. The washing was done when I returned so it went in the tumble dryer. I made lentil soup in the slow cooker and will portion it up, ready for the freezer. I cleaned the bathroom and finished the boys room. Then hoovered throughout. I started weeding the path and swept it before lunch. In the afternoon, my aunt and uncle popped in for a chat. I was very happy to see them. My aunt has kindly offered to take me to hospital for my other cataract op on Friday. It'll mean an early start as I've to be there for eight o'clock. Both of them were delighted with their birthday gifts. We don't usually do birthdays but they have been extremely supportive to me this year in particular. After they left, I finished weeding the path and put down weedkiller. It looks a lot better. I did some ironing and remade the bed then decided I would make the chicken and leek pie for dinner, however I had bought all the ingredients - except the chicken! Dinner was a fish supper instead. Despite the car park being mobbed, the chippy was empty so I was in and out quickly.
Last night I slept better and was only up twice and awake for a little while. Today I'll head to Aldi for the chicken and definitely make the pie! The work today will be clearing my drive of weeds and moss. I expect visitors in the shape of dd and the boys. She will bring back my KitchenAid, I hope! I bought two wee cars for the boys to fight over. Now I can see better, there are marks on the radiators that need dealing with. And the floors need cleaning! It was almost better when I couldn't see it all. A state of blissful ignorance 😂
Have a good day all

Good morning from a bright Co Durham.
Greyduster, I had to have both wedding & engagements rings cut off about 15 years ago for the same reason. A jeweller blend the two together which I’ve worn ever since. It took a while to get used to just one and not two. Unfortunately I had to have it cut off ( in the local fire station) last month when I damaged my hand. It is currently being repaired but I’ll have to wear it on my other hand as my ring finger is so misshapen now.
Sis-in-law and I have enjoyed our stay in Dundee, but nice to be home.
I, also, hope for a quick reinstatement of dear Fgt.
Have a good Sunday everyone.

Good morning from a fairly bright NE, I am afraid it won't last though, forecast is for thundery showers.
DS and GD came yesterday after she had done her voluntary work.
DS did a slide show on the TV, all of their photographs from their week in Northern Ireland.
I won't see GD next week as she will be away for D of E training, but hope to see her the week after when she is singing in the school concert.
Have a good day.
