Good Morning Monday 7th July 2025

Good morning from a rather damp Wiltshire. We sure needed some rain.

Yesterday we drove down to the park in town waiting for the red arrows flypast who we were tracking on flight radar 24. Then out of nowhere came heavy rain and thunder, the first for quite some time. They then deviated to avoid the weather and flew over Compton Basset so we missed them. But when we went home we booked tickets to attend RIAT in a couple of weeks at Fairford.

DD1 kept me so well informed on Saturday on her birthday treat to Wimbledon I felt I was there with her. Got loads of photos from her. I think she’s coming over later in the week for a visit. School pickup for DGD3 later.

I very much hope you have a successful outcome for your little dog Bellasnana 💐

Have a good Monday everyone.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's dry.
Exercise class and household stuff today.
I've plans to host a party next Saturday. It would be nice for it to be in the garden but not sure the
weather can be trusted or the seagulls.

I hope your Buzz continues to get better Bella. You are doing too much you know and need a good rest to recover.

How exciting Kalu to have landscaping done. I hope you will enjoy the results.

More tennis today. Will my heart cope!

Look forward to "seeing" FGT again.
Have the best day possible, everyone.

kalu, about FGT’s return, is that right? Did she just have a “short” ban? I thought it was forever.

Good morning from a grey, wet Wales.
Yesterday I stayed put in the house, did not feel like walking two days in a row.
DS and DIL spent the afternoon at a castle, the three young ones went off to the cinema and I lay on the sofa with a novel.
GD1 cooked dinner, she is an excellent cook, everything from scratch.
GD2 and I watched Hamilton on TV, it was just 6 days since she had seen it live at the theatre.
Forecast is not great for today so I will be staying put, I did not
bring waterproof walking gear.
Have a good day.

Morning Mick, morning All from a cloudy corner of Somerset

Yesterdays few spots of rain did little good other than dampen the dust. In spite of regular watering some plants are struggling now.

No plans for today, see how it unfolds. As Mr C’s foot is very painful again he’s happy for a quiet time.

I’ll have everything crossed for Buzz, bellasnana.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from a slightly damp spot in south Glos, we did have one heavy downpour yesterday but could really do with much more!
I did my 10,000 steps before 9am yesterday, taking the dogs out separately. Bigger dog enjoyed chasing her ball around (with me doing the throwing and fetching bit), tiddler and I then walked the bridleway and across the fields. I certainly enjoyed my avocado on toast and coffee after that!
I did manage to do a bit of gardening before it rained and more afterwards. I have a small, very dry border that I added a bucket of compost too and planted some heat-loving plants. It gets baked so fingers crossed.
More of the same today I hope.
Fingers crossed for poor Buzz Bellasnana, it’s so upsetting when they’re poorly.
Hoping today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and sunny. Bellasnana I hope it's good news after the scan for your Buzz. Susan enjoy the day with your dgs.
Yesterday I went to an art exhibition at my tutors house. I picked up my ds on the way. There were lots of paintings but they weren't to my taste apart from a nude drawing which I liked so I bought it. Ds and I then went to the café in the park for brunch. Later, once home, I did the cleaning I couldn't do on Saturday because of the water issue. I got an ironing done too.
Today is early childcare day. Dgs1 didn't want to go to soft play today so we'll go tomorrow. We might go to the park later. Their mum will pick them up at half five. Have a good day all

Good morning all. A sunny start in Glasgow today which hopefully will continue for the day.

Landscaping starts today which means no more peaceful days in the garden for quite a while. It will be worth it when finished.a GP appointment this afternoon for bloods check re change of BP meds.

Thank you for such lovely, very much appreciated messages of support yesterday. I was very touched by such thoughtfulness.

FGT should be joining us again this morning. Hoping she can.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire. A lovely sunrise this morning after all the welcome rain we had yesterday. The washing machine is on and I’m hoping to steal a march on the day shortly. I have to go out and change something I bought last week and then I must pay some serious attention to packing for my holiday on Friday. I have a list - somewhere. I think my plans to travel light will dissipate as the week goes on!
Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Malta where 38°C is the forecast high.

Thank you so much to all of you for your kind wishes for Buzz yesterday.

The treatment has helped but he is still a very poorly boy and I will take him to the vet at 8am for another day of hospital care.

The ultrasound specialist will be coming to see him so that should reveal what is going on with his liver.

I’m not looking forward to the results, it’s just so sad seeing him like this and not understanding what is happening to him.

After I drop him off, I am going to look after the boys as DD3 has a ‘team building exercise’ with her colleagues which, I suspect, is just a fancy name for going out on a boat for the day and having fun!

I feel emotionally drained at the moment so a day with the boys will do me good.

I got my cleaning and ironing done yesterday. I didn’t go to Mass as I’m still coughing and sniffling so did not want to share my germs with the congregation, many of whom are very elderly and frail.

grandMattie I don’t know how you do it all.💐

I had better get going, it’s going to be a long day……..

Hoping for a good day for you all.☀️

Good morning from a grey Bristol. It seems that rain is falling everywhere but here!
I had a quiet day yesterday after church.
I condensed notes from our residents’ meeting, then printed out and delivered them to everyone so they could check the questions put to the area manager on Thursday. Naturally, one person said most points were irrelevant.! Rich coming from the same person who bangs on about things which have been done weeks ago and are of no interest today.
Tesco this morning, then marrow chutney and veg preparation for piccalilli. I’m running out, and it needs a minimum 6 weeks maturing.
I hope Bellasnana’s little dog is better, that everyone is safe , well and happy. Make that random act of kindness today.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick and all to follow from Shropshire.After yesterday mornings heavy rain back to the hot weather.

A long day ahead.Physio for DH first thing then driving over to Staffordshire to collect DGS1 from school later.We don’t see him as often because of distance but always have a lovely time☺️

Thinking of our absent friends and all struggling at the moment.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🌻🦩
