Good Morning Thursday 3rd July 2025

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Lancashire.

I might try to get to the garden centre later to get compost for potting on pansies I've grown from seed.

I need to finish the last making up of a jacket I've knitted for one of DS's friend's baby.

We've managed to book a decorator for the dining room. He's coming in August which will impact on my caravan time but the room desperately needs doing.

I love reading what you're all up to. Life brings different challenges for us all but a sense of community is a great comfort blanket.

Take care all. 🌻

Good morning all. Cloudy and dry at the moment in Glasgow.

My meds review yesterday was good news, cut down the dosage of one of the BP meds as reading are much healthier now. Hairdressers this afternoon hoping I don’t get caught in predicted showers. Finally a Waitrose shop before I head home.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day.

Happy Birthday to your DD Jax. 🎂

Good morning from Shropshire where another hot day is forecast🥵😭

A quiet morning planned🤞🏻and then a busy afternoon.My lovely neighbour has just returned from six months in her home town in Turkey and has invited me for coffee and catch up this afternoon.Their baby was tiny when they left and now cruising around.Late afternoon I have an appointment at the eye clinic.

Pantglas I hope your dad feels better soon and I am sorry he isn’t getting the help he needs from the health professionals😤

Power to you all grandMattie💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Wishing everyone the best day possible🦩🌻

Thanks Kalu, 39, she’s already planning the next one!

Thanks for your concerns re my Dad’s health woes - to be clear, I don’t know that it’s poor NHService or poor-me syndrome in his case…🤦‍♀️. Mr PG reckons old soldiers love nothing more than a good moan and he should know 😉

Morning, everyone from South Hants where there’s not a cloud in the sky. Hopefully it won’t be as hot on the allotment this morning as it was on Tuesday!
Had a lovely time with DD and DGD1 when they came round to dinner last night. I do love cooking for people so I was pleased when they polished off the aubergine parmigiana and rhubarb pudding!
Another busy day awaits. I hope my energy levels don’t slump until well into the afternoon.
Hope everyone has a good day.

A visit this morning from the local company who installed our new windows six or seven years ago to look at the garden room doors and windows. If affordable it would be sensible to upgrade the thirty year old glazing, the only thing we haven’t done. We’ll see, but no point in money sitting in the bank if it can be spent on keeping the house in good order. No other plans today apart from ruthless clothes sorting - I have too many I don’t or can’t wear.

Oh merlotgran Aubergine Parmigiana is one of my favourite Italian dishes of all time.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞 🌞Northampton, thankfully much cooler.temperatures. We had rain yesterday but only really a thimbleful, so it didn't do a lot of good.

Had a lovely time viewing the renovations a ballet friend (and her husband) had made to their bungalow; they have made it open plan, had a big extension, and now they have an amazing kitchen plus large living area with huge bi-fold doors onto the garden.
She put on a.delicious spread of scones, clotted cream, fresh mixed berries and several other lovely cakes. About 8 of us were there and we had a lovely couple of hours of chat in good company.

Got home to brilliant sunshine and comfortable temperatures, so set to and weeded the block paving on the.drive. Then spent an hour or two tidying the back garden, cutting back loads of dead twigs/foliage on plants, topping up pots with compost, feeding and watering.

I then got my book and sat out and read till it was time to prepare dinner.

No plans for today except to hang some washing out and deal with a Sainsbury's delivery late morning. Then will sit out reading again.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

A fairly late Good Morning from Pembrokeshireshire where the sun is shining.
Yesterday we visited Porthgain, a small seaside village with an interesting history.
It’s our 49th wedding anniversary today and I am treating DH to a steam train ride with a cream tea included.
A good day wished for all.

Morning all from a sunny West Oxfordshire.

I’m still at the breakfast table. I had a bit of a lie in!

Not sure what I’m doing today. Maybe baking, reading or watching tennis with OH. He’s got to visit his bees at some point. One of his hives has produced a load of honey.

Have a good day.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

I’m still following doctor’s advice and drinking lots of water. I am feeling better but not convinced “symptom management” is the appropriate response! I have a telephone appointment tomorrow with a ‘physician associate’ to review the situation. We are off out for a walk shortly, I will read all your news later.

Thinking of our poorly Grans and families, as always.

Have the best day you can everyone 🌹

Good morning from coastal West Sussex, where the sky is very blue but the breeze feels cool.

We have our new gas boiler installed and currently being tested out. Yesterday was a nightmare of non-communication with energy provider as the meter was not working. They wouldn’t speak to me as I am not the account holder, even though I could give them all the information they needed. DH had gone to his volunteering and was not responding to my messages. I managed to track him down eventually. He gave them the same information as I did but obviously a male voice was the secret (or maybe they needed the call to be from his phone?). An engineer would be sent out - he came about 7pm by which time our gas engineer had gone home. All sorted ready for today. Hope no more hitches.

Good news re your meds, Kalu.

merlotgran, I’ve never had aubergine parmigiana - must try it 🙂

Mick, you will be enjoying Le Tour. It’s all sport on tv this next few weeks. I will dip in on most of them.

I’m off to my volunteering now and hoping I can find my way around all the current road closures 😬

Thoughts with all struggling with health and emotional challenges.

Congratulations ginny

Blossoming, hope you get something useful from your telephone appointment.
