Good Morning Thursday 24th July 2025

Good morning from Shropshire.We have the same forecast as Kalu today.

A busy day yesterday.DH spent the whole day working in the garden and I spent the time working in the house.Everything up to date just how I like it!Chats with a couple of neighbours.

We are looking forward to spending time with family over the next few days.

Wishing everyone a good day🌻🦩

Good morning to Mick and all the early birds this morning from a very wet and gloomy Cheshire. Of dear, now a pleasant outlook this morning. A few days ago I woke to what I thought was heavy rain but which was in fact my tinnitus. This morning it is heavy rain! The birds are very quiet.

Today I get my hearing aid, which will apparently play sounds to mask the noise in my ear. I've read good reports and I'm pinning my hopes on this for some respite from the constant noise.

This morning I woke to emails from cousins in the US. Very interesting as they have different views of the man at the top!

Wishing all a good day. Special thoughts for those with struggles at the moment.

Photos when it’s done, kalu?

Good morning all. A hazy start before a hot, sunny, dry day in Glasgow. 21deg. will be a pleasant heat.

Penultimate day of completion as skip will be uplifted and the mountains of new gravel will be spread around the house. Only edging stones around patio areas and removal of machinery today. Clean up tomorrow.

Hairdressers today and a Waitrose shop will be my outings today.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day.

Good morning, cloudy today in s somerset

I am up and raring to go after a broken night. I think I have pinned the sleeplessness down to eating fresh white onion. Red is ok but white is not, especially the strong type. No matter, I wanted to be up early today

Yesterday I made 6 soup bases to freeze, just loads of sliced veg, not greens. sautéed and now frozen, will make it easy to make miso soup in future. I am appreciating the ability of my magimix, it does save my fingers from aching from all that chopping. I keep the machine out all the time now, used to be in a cupboard but was too heavy to keep lifting it out, so I hardly used it

Allotment visit yesterday and a lovely chat with someone, it was uplifting, then followed by some sewing. I do like to see how the plants march on, whatever is happening in the world

I love doing this fairly complicated pattern, third make now after the toile. Dress with long sleeves first, followed by sleeveless and now another sleeveless. Darts and neck facing are done, very neat and this robust garment will last me for years. The pattern is hinterland by sew liberated. Toile was a disaster wrt fit until I made the adjustments

I need to take my car for service and mot, two walks involved today, easy meals for me and just some sewing with the phone handy

Have a good day

Good morning from another dry day in Bristol. It seems that it rains everywhere ,mall around Bristol, except in my corner…

I was delighted to read about the FGTs, when I perused the posts last night. How very heartening. Hugs 🫂🤗 all round.

I decided to do my church cleaning stint yesterday before the FAB cafe. I then set up and served our attendees. A few less regular customers. Nice time though.

I was shown where a whole box of empty jars had been “hidden”. I would never have found them. I badly need replacements for the 100 odd pots that I have filled this month. No need for more preserve making for a while now.

I managed to start putting a pinafore dress together, cut out about 3weeks ago. It shouldn’t take too long to finish now, especially as most things have shut down for the summer.

Tai chi this morning and a last dinner with family as DS is flying to Tanzania on Monday and DD and family are off for some three weeks.

Hope FGT’s himself comes home tomorrow, and is more “himself” after that horrible period. May all with ill health/sadness/mountains to climb manage to cope with it.

Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩💐🌷

Good Morning Mick and Bore Da to JamesandJon 👋 from another dry day in north Wales.

Belated birthday greetings to GG and Gingster - hope you enjoyed your celebrations 🥂 and what splendid news from FGT - Ymlaen (Onwards) as we say here in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

My oldest (longest) friend is popping by for a ☕️ this morning so we’ll put the world to rights then a quiet afternoon reading before bingo this evening with another friend - quiet days on the Western Front suit me more these days! Interspersed with 👜 forays to TKMaxx Miss MD🤣

And now for tea in the garden, with Olive….

Bore da Mick and everyone else awake. Just after 4 for me today. The gulls, nesting across the road have a very noisy and demanding baby. If he is awake we all are.
Quiet day today. DH is going to dig up the last of the potatoes and I shall pick, and probably freeze any runner beans we have. Other than that I have writing to do.
