Good Morning Thursday 19th June 2025

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a beautiful sunny start to the day
I’ve nothing planned for today as I’m on a reserve list for some volunteering. I need to stay local and close to my phone in case I get called in - probably not but you never know!
Hoping you’re feeling better soon Jax, you too kitty
Marydoll ❤️
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

The above for MD

Good morning from mid Essex, dry and sunny and feels pleasantly cool at the moment but a hot day is forecast. I went for a walk yesterday morning and met some dog walking friends and had a nice chat. I didn’t do a lot after that, apart from watering the plants in pots.
Today I think it will be more of the same. I’m indoors with the blinds closed a lot of the time, as I can’t cope with the sun these days unfortunately!
ash so good that you are able to enjoy Front of House duties again, and I hope you have a tasty afternoon tea today.
marydoll and jax I hope you feel better soon, even more uncomfortable being ill in the heat!
Have the best day possible folks.

Sorry you’ve been feeling so unwell. Look after yourself and take your time. 🫂🌷

Good morning from a stick North Leicestershire.

I'm about day 9 of covid Jax. I'm not ill now but still exhausted. I think the heat is not helping. I might attempt the short walk to the village today.

Have the best day possible, everyone.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. Yesterday's mist lifted and we had a hot, sunny day. It was very hot in school. The water area was very popular! We ended up closing the outdoor area at about 2pm. It was hot and sticky inside, but at least there was no risk of sunburn.

Your dress has lovely colours, Karma.

What a beautiful description of your visit to your Mum, Susan56. So lovely that she gets pleasure from music.

Today I'm going over to a friend's for lunch. I'm taking her a planted up pot of homegrown plants as a thankyou.
Before that, I need to pack for a trip to our caravan. I'm not needed in school next week so I'm going for a few extra days than originally planned.
We're collecting DS en route. He's doing a sponsored walk in Snowdonia tomorrow. So I need food for tonight, tomorrow morning and his packed lunch for the walk.
I've planted up a sunflower, cosmos and nasturtiums in a pot for DS's garden. I think the children will enjoy measuring the sunflower as it grows.

Sorry to hear you're feeling rough, Marydoll. Glad the messages of concern have helped.

Take care, everyone, have a good day. 🌻

Good morning from South Lanarkshire. I’m not quite sure what the weather is doing, it’s a cloudy so there may be some rain.

We just took the children home after school yesterday instead of going for ice cream as the sky looked ominous. I collected the youngest from nursery, didn’t want to sit in the buggy but was so tired on the walk home that his eyes were closing, I would swear he was actually asleep a couple of moments along the way.

I’ve an appointment with a podiatrist today, hopefully my feet will be ready for sandal wearing afterwards. I must look up the difference between podiatrist and chiropodist.

Good to hear from you Marydoll, hope you feel a bit better today.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay. The expected high is in the mid twenties.

Lidl was virtually deserted yesterday morning when we arrived just after seven with more staff there than customers! The play last night (Noises Off) was very fast paced and our enjoyment wasn’t spoilt by one part being successfully carried by an understudy (on book) due to the original actor being unwell. The tickets are selling well which should please the Treasurer! At last I’m able to enjoy my Front of House duties without finding them too taxing. Today we’re going out for an afternoon tea at a hotel in Torquay, a Christmas gift from my DS.

It’s good to hear from you, Marydoll and I hope another few restful days will help you feel better.

A good day is wished to you all. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Hot again in South Yorkshire and I slept very badly last night, with various silly things rattling round in my head, as they do!
The librarian-led creative writing session at the library was a washout for me - for the first time I couldn’t think of a single thing to write. After a couple of false starts, I gave up. I don’t much like writing “on the hoof” but can usually manage something. Then of course I came home and thought of a dozen things I could have written about!
I am supposed to be walking this morning, but I’m going to have a day at home instead.
Have the best day you can, folks.

A brief good morning from me, I till don't really feel up to posting and my concentration is awful..
My episode of pancreatitis has left me exhausted and I have been rather fed up with life!

To those who commented on the thread which Maw started and the posters on this thread, who took time to PM me, thank you. 💕

Enjoy your day, whatever your plans.

Morning Mick and all from sunny S Hants, another warm one and day 3 of Covid for me.
I slept pretty well, the cough has lessened, but I’ll be in the house or thereabouts today, early watering at the front - westerly facing.
Stay hydrated everyone
FGT 👋

Good morning from the Essex coast where another hot day is forecast.
DH has a doctor's appointment at 9.15, I'll do the food shopping whilst he is in the surgery.
No plans for the rest of the day.
Take care in the sun everyone, best wishes to all xx

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

It’s going to be another scorcher, as they say!

I’m still in bed and won’t get up for a while.

I’ll probably spend most of the day inside. As I’ve got older I find hot weather more difficult. I have plenty to do including several books on the go!

OH has quite a lot of bee related things to do. He drew off two large tubs of honey yesterday. He has to return the frames to his hives and take the device he used to remove the honey back to the owner. He hired it for a couple of days.

Have a good day. I do hope MaryD is feeling more chirpy and that all is well with the FGT2S.

Good morning from an already warm Bristol. We are promised 30C today, which is far too hot for me.
I was wiped out yesterday. The FAB cafe seemed extra busy with 14 people drifting in and I barely sat down all morning. I had one hour to walk home, have lunch and go back to help set up and get ready to serve tea and scones at my ladies’ thingy.
We were 36, so it took a little time . I had promised to serve tea. There was a trolley, and I had one helper to “milk” the tea. This meant that,,once again, I barely sat down.
I was sent home with loads of uneaten scones and cream for the family, some of which I shared with my neighbours, to their delight.
I was in bed just after 8 and managed to sleep reasonably well.
Only tai chi this morning, then DD’s for dinner. Unfortunately this means walking the 15 minutes uphill from the bus, at the time when it’s at its hottest. 🥵. Ah well.
I hope everyone has the best of days. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where we expect a high of 34°C today with a chance of isolated showers.

The boys were extremely active yesterday and spent a lot of time bouncing around on the sofa practicing their newly acquired skill of doing somersaults!

I was a nervous wreck imagining them injuring themselves but the plus point was that they tired themselves out and were ready for a nap after lunch.

They went off happily to nursery and I went home to watch tennis after stopping for boring things like milk.

Today I will probably bring them over to my place again as they don’t seem to go so wild here!😂

Hope the day is kind to you all.☀️
