Good Morning Wednesday 10th September 2025

Good morning from a dry NE, forecast is okay but it is not sunny yet.
SIL arrived 15 minutes after hairdresser left so I was ready to go shopping.
Returned home and had a lunch of ham, cheese and salad with black olive bread.
Rest of afternoon was spent online looking for a new computer for me, nothing wrong with the one I have but it is Windows 10 and support ends soon.
SIL found one with the spec suitable for my needs and we bought it, being delivered today.
Next job is to buy new TVs, mine won't let me access netflix or iplayer.
Quiet day today, just waiting for the delivery.
Enjoy hearing about holidays.
Have a good day.

Good morning Mick and everyone from dry and brightish Carlisle. Showers may be due but they have been passing over in the last few days.
I have slept longer this morning, I expect it's due to the later dawns, the days are shortening so rapidly now.

Yesterday, I blitzed the bathrooms, today the kitchen and, just maybe, the ironing.
I made a start on bulb planting yesterday afternoon, someone came to collect some stuffing material I'd freegled and the plumber diagnosed that there wasn't a problem with my stopcock and showed me what to do...that's a relief.
Today, I need to do some chasing on the phone, someone's taking far, far too long to get something done.

I may start a new book though magazines are piling up. I just finished Craig Brown's A Voyage round the Queen which I thoroughly recommend, a standard biography of Her Majesty it isn't, a view of her via interactions with others largely. It's a hefty tome.

And wishing you all the best possible day especially if you and yours are suffering in any way.

Good Morning from Durham where there’s a grey overcast start to the day.
I never stopped yesterday, but can’t see much change, given my labour. Just re-arranging the deckchairs on Titanic comes to mind.
I’m meeting 2 friends for coffee at 10, then psyching myself up for a tip run - why do we hang onto leftover paint for years and years?
Could see the beach was absolutely heaving with tourists MD!*. It’s glorious, isn’t it? Are you nipping over to Holy Island - check the tides!

Best wishes to all. X

Morning from a soggy S Hants, heavy rain overnight that was on the periphery of my sleep, more to come today.
Fingers crossed for choir Ashcombe
Good to see FGT and himself are being supported in a timely way.
Yesterday was more gardening, green bin is full, tomatoes will be next when it’s been emptied, the garden looks neater.
Granddaughter is having a contact lens fitting today, she has a special eye shape apparently.
I really ought to sort out my wardrobe…

Morning all from a rather damp Devon. We visited Castle Drogo yesterday - amazing. I drove us and the rain coming back to the holiday house was the most insistent I have driven in for years.

We will go out for lunch today and also visit a nearby large house and grounds.

My thumb is much improved. I’m not wearing a support but still taking the odd painkiller.

Have a good day everyone and I’m thinking specially of the FGT2S and the MDs.

Good morning from autumn in the north of Scotland. I am stuck at home a lot just now for health reasons and family reasons so thoroughly enjoying all the fantastic posts of places that are being described here. So many enticing descriptions and photographs. I am making a list. Thank you all.

The heather around our village has been glorious but the best is over and the trees are turning autumnal very early. Thankfully we have some rain.

Wishing you all the best day you can.

Fine at present but serious rain threatened for later but as I only have singing I doubt if it will matter much. Lots of references to places where we have had lovely holidays in the past so I have enjoyed remembering them as my travelling days are behind me now. I seem to be spending my money on keeping the house in good order instead - gutter cleaning this week, very exotic!

Good Morning from a wet Co Armagh
I have just recovered from my short break in Co. Wexford, it was very enjoyable, but I’m not used tomorrow so much entertainment!! I needed a few days of quiet , the area was very beautiful and dripping in history
Wednesday club restarts this am , so I’m off out now
Enjoy the day xx

A late good morning from the south coast. I’ve overslept due to being woken up by last night’s heavy rain beating on the conservatory roof.
Coffee with DD this morning. It’s her day off and as I haven’t seen her for over a week it will be nice to have a catch up.
Hope everyone has a good day.
