Good Morning Saturday 28th June 2025

Good morning all and it’s bright and sunny with a little cloud here on the Suffolk coast.

We’ve had a bad night and we’re both up early. I like my quiet couple of hours first thing with a cup of tea, little pooch snoozing and reading all the news. Dh is usually asleep until 9.

He’s wandered into the garden to have his cuppa ,looking out to sea, to leave me in peace. 😉

I’m still stripping down the garden furniture inch by inch. The table top looks quite good ‘shabby chic’, and I’ve started on one chair 😤. Dh does a little as he passes by. .

GM happy holidays.Lithuania is beautiful!
I hope your dgs gets a diagnosis soon. 🙏. Mizuna.
Enjoy the Summer Fayre Ash.
Baubles well done on your purchase 👍.

Enjoy the day as best you can. 🌼

Good morning from a warm S E Essex, a quick local shop first thing.

The Imp is being dropped here mid afternoon , he is extremely excited as he is having a sleepover here without his brother. No doubt he will want to swim and splash along with having a BBQ (he has requested chicken wings and cous cous)

Enjoy your day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a bright but cloudy mid Essex. Not sure what the weather will do today but it will be warm. I didn’t go out yesterday, but did all my exercises twice instead. Cleaned the kitchen and cleared out one of the drawers. I had my hair cut and coloured in the afternoon.
I won’t see my DDs today, one is working this afternoon and the other is busy taking her DDs to cricket and other classes. I have plenty to keep me busy here, depending on how hot it is!
mizuna your voluntary job sounds good, especially with someone interesting to talk to. Enjoy pottering on your allotment and the coffee morning.
sallyforth good luck in sorting out your new phone, even one of my DDs is struggling to get to grips with her new phone and she’s good at technology! Mine does strange things especially after updates!
Have the best day possible everyone, thinking of those struggling for any reason.

Good morning from a sunny N Norfolk. A hot night with a rattling hotel window, not ideal before a busy day visiting a friend with a large railway in his garden. Hope we are up to it. DB will be joining us.
Happy holiday gB
Best wishes to all

Good morning everyone, going to continue with the house decluttering today while I'm on a roll.
Tackled the kitchen worksurfaces on Wednesday and the room looks twice the size.

I've swapped cars with DS for the time being as his has been a bit unreliable recently and he needs his car for work. I've told him to take good care of my trusty little Suzuki, known as Susie.

Yikes, a snake, Baubles! I'm not keen on things that can get about without legs, just doesn't seem natural somehow.
Happy travels, GrandMattie.

Have a good day everyone. 🌻

Good morning from a wonderfully drizzly Cornwall. Yesterday was fun at my new library volunteering job of huge responsibility 😁 dismantling Lego models, alongside a retired biker who embroiders Jimi Hendrix portraits on his denim jackets, so we talked motorbikes and sewing ha ha.

A delicious chicken stew lunch at my daughter-in-law's followed, plus a heartening conversation about my 15-year-old grandson, for whom we've been trying to get a diagnosis of autism, as the dear, gentle lad is missing so much school. His doctor has finally agreed that his parents can go elsewhere in the UK for a diagnosis (it would take three years in Cornwall), so they'll be taking him to Kent at some point. A great step forward.

Today I'll venture to our usual allotments community shed coffee morning and sample home-made cake and then potter on my plot in the drizzle. The pic is watercress I'm growing in bowls of water in my greenhouse. This is the second year I've tried it and it's head-blowing-off delicious. My mizuna is growing well too, yippee.

Travel well grandMattie. 🙋‍♀️

Hilarious grandMattie. You win the prize for making me LOL this morning. Enjoy your holiday.

Good morning from Bristol airport! Eating a very expensive bacon buttie for breakfast.
I’ve been up since 0330 and left the house a big later.
Done security, been thoroughly felt, suitcase searched for drugs, as ever, and now waiting for the flight.
Hope everyone has a good weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and everyone from an overcast morning in Cheshire. Enjoy your trip out Mick, glad you're doing well. Checking on a snake is not something I could do baubles. Rather you than me.

Bought a new iphone yesterday and it's going to take me a while to fathom what's what. I need an eight year old to sort it for me. I bought it because the ENT consultant says that I can have a hearing aid which connects to wi fi and will play sounds to help lessen my tinnitus. That's the theory anyway.

There is much to do in the garden, so that's where I'll be most of the day. Enjoy your day whatever you may be doing. Kind thoughts to all, especially anyone with worries.

Good morning Mick, morning all from soggy South Lanarkshire. It’s tipping down again.

DS buys and occasionally sells vinyl records and as he was working yesterday, he enlisted my help to purchase a limited edition from a music store in Japan. These sought after albums sell out minutes or even seconds after being put up for sale on the site so my heart was thumping as I kept refreshing the page at the given time. Thankfully I managed to buy one so DS is a happy bunny.

Today we are going over to DD’s empty house to bring in the bins and make sure the snake is okay. They are having a lovely time on holiday.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning! A cloudy start here in south Glos, a bit muggy too at 19° but I slept well.
A quiet day today, like most of my days, which suits me very nicely. I want to do more of my botanical drawing, I’m following an online class and loving it. I have everything set up in my Shed and tiddler will join me. She’s my little shadow 😍
We will walk the dogs shortly, before it gets too hot then they’ll spend the day snoozing.
Salad for dinner, probably with salmon and new potatoes, simple and delicious.
I hope you have a lovely weekend 🌹

Good morning from Malta where it’s very hot and sunny.

No plans for the day yet but will get up and do some cleaning and laundry eventually. Dog could do with a wash as well.

Had a good morning with the boys yesterday after which I had my weekly wash and blow dry, then did a bit of food shopping.

There was a member of staff encouraging us to use the self checkout which I don’t like but gave it a go. It didn’t convince me and seemed a lot more hassle. I won’t be using it again!

Hope you all have a good weekend.☀️

Good morning from a dull, breezy and dampish Torbay.

Last night we enjoyed a Social Evening at our theatre with half price drinks and complimentary food: sausages, roast potatoes and pickled eggs!

Today is our church's Summer Fayre in the park opposite my flat. The church warden has allocated to me a job that I can do whilst seated: collecting the money for the barbecued food which I’ve done before.

I hope for news of the FGT’s soon.

Happy weekend, everyone! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩
