Good Morning Saturday 4th October 2025

Try again

Good morning all from a sunny but windy south coast. I’m tired and achy this morning after a lot of walking yesterday. Lunch and shopping was fun but I was so busy chatting to a friend that we got on the wrong bus which was OK for her but the route changes slightly after her stop and misses out mine. Getting off added twenty minutes to my walk home. I made it just in time before the heavens opened. I won’t make that mistake again! I won’t be doing anything strenuous today if I can help it.
Hope those in the north haven’t suffered any storm damage.
Have the best day possible.

👍🏻

Good morning from a sunny and windy Suffolk although we’ve here in the East had nothing like the high winds in Ireland and other parts of the country.

The only thing I can see in the garden is a large fallen branch of an Elm tree which was rotten and hanging precariously.
How awful Ashfor your young neighbour to return home to find such devastation in her home but reassuring to read about the help and support you and others are giving her.

DH and I have our Covid and flu jabs this morning. DH never has any reaction to them whereas I usually have a sore arm and feel tired for a day or so. There seems to be a lot of Covid around so I’m grateful for the protection the jabs give.

Hope today is a peaceful one for all.

Good morning. After last night’s wind and rain we have sunshine in N.Buo. Just one flower pot blown over and lots of twigs and leaves.
My shoulder is still painful and Son in Law is making me an appointment with his physio. I really need something sorted before we go away next week.
This morning we will do a local food shop and then pick up Mother in Law and take her for lunch. Afterwards she has her flu jab.
I shall be kitten sitting tonight as DD and family are away overnight and the two very cute kittens are so new.
Wishing you all a good day , especially those with illness and or troubles.

Good morning from grey and wet NE.
Weather was awful yesterday, gusty with heavy rain. I only left the house to bring the wheelie bin in.
This morning GD2 is at school for open morning, she shows prospective pupils and parents around and plays the piano in the music department.
DS and GD will come to mine after school.
The forecast is for very windy weather again, I hope it will not be dangerous travelling.
Thoughts are with poorly people.

Good morning all and it’s bright, sunny with a bit of a breeze but nothing to worry about.

I’m taking youngest gd to Brownie Camp today , I hope they don’t get blown away. Tiny little brown and yellow people . I think they are inside buildings and not under canvas thank goodness. She’s so excited.

Dh and I had our flu jabs yesterday. Dh also had the Covid one.
No reaction whatsoever 🤞.

We met up with our Friday pals but one lady was poorly with a swollen face. She was in a lot of pain so her Dh took her home. I must check in with her today.

DIL is home from hospital and had a good night. DS1 baked a Victoria sponge welcome home and will care for her every need.💞. I’ll pop to see her in a day or two.

Hoping you all have a good day. Keep safe

Good morning from a windy northwest coast. Jolly art yesterday morning and then had my remote garage door gadget fitted with a new battery.
Felt tired yesterday after a busy time, so enjoyed a quiet afternoon and evening. Will bang out some notes for the opera co. pieces today.

I’m supposed to going on to a Spanish galleon in the river today, a replica of the original, followed by a meal with old pianist friend but in this wind it raises a question mark. Hopefully it will die down by 6.
Thoughts to all🌺

A quick morning all from a blustery West Oxfordshire.

Sister and brother in law are here and it’s lovely to have them. We are out to lunch at one of our favourite restaurants.

Have a good day. Thinking specially of MaryD and the FGT2S.

Good morning from a lovely sunny Margate.

Hope everyone is ok after a rather blustery night 🌬️

Just having breakfast and then heading to Aylesbury, to see Level 42 this evening.

Before driving back tomorrow.

Have a great day 😊

Good morning, Michael12 and everyone!

All day yesterday and all night here in little Appleby, we had torrential rain, very strong winds, very cold and a massive storm! It was all so gorgeous!

There's been roadworks outside our houses for several weeks, probably going on for several more, and the storm was blowing over the metal signs and sending other things in the air! The trees look like they were contortionists!

I had my bedroom window wide open, and the wind and noise were lovely as it came in as I lay in bed, hugging 2 hot water bottles, my PercyRoboCat and a huge fluffy cushion!

True story: I accidentally annoyed a slug last night! I'd got out of bed about 11 pm to do a bit of washing up - mug, plate, metal straw and 2 teaspoons - that I'd left in the bowl to soak a few hours earlier, and there on the worktop next to the sink was a very long skinny slug with 2 funny little antennas poking from his head!

I chatted away to him, asking him what sort of day he's had, apologising for disturbing him while I washed up, and his body language looked quite ''annoyed''.

I'm gob-smacked just how fast they can move, as within the 5 minutes I'd washed up, dried and put stuff away, he'd sped off to the top of the sink then ''ran'' out of the open window onto the outside windowsill!

I called out ''Sluggie, please don't leave me! I promise I'll change!'' But he didn't come back!

When I die, if there's anything I want people to remember me for, it's one hell of a wacky sense of humour!

Can’t top that tale, Weirdo! Sunny, windy and showery here in the south west and must brave the supermarket in order to feed DD and DSiL who are arriving later today. It will be good to see them and I appreciate the fact that they take the trouble to come so far. No little jobs lined up for them either.

Hope the weather doesn’t get in the way of plans today and that we all have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞, but very windy, Northampton. I really need to get to Sainsbury's and M&S Food, but there is no way I am venturing out in this wind. It will have to be tomorrow.

Dodged the rain yesterday to get to dance classes, which went well, apart from one of our ballet routines which descended into chaos! The problem was that our teacher changed the direction we do it in, and as I am the leader in this particular dance I lost all my marker places in the hall as to change of direction and steps - we ended up convulsed with laughter and in a complete muddle! Luckily we still have six weeks to get it right...

Had an unexpected phone call from a teaching colleague of fifty years ago yesterday afternoon, and we have arranged a lunch out for the week after next, which will be lovely. Hoping that another ex-colleague will join us.

Will be staying in today, and thinking that I may put some fruit to soak in hot tea for a tea loaf; I will vary the fruit mixture a bit and add some dried apricots to the mixture.

What a terrible thing to happen to your poor neighbour, Ash; sadly.for her that will take ages to dry out.

Lovely pumpkins, Peli. My autumn offering is Autumn cushion covers, and a pumpkin spice diffuser.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning from the windy but sunny West Sussex coast.

I have been out for my flu jab this morning and I hear DH just arriving back from his. He had his Covid one last week but I’m too young for this one 😀

I need to put away summer clothes and pack for a mini-break in Bath next eeek with old university friends.

Marydoll, I’m glad you’ve opened up now to your family (though I can completely understand you wanting to spare them from worrying). 🌺

RosesandLilac, things seem tough for you recently - hope you can hang on to the positives (like your lovely sounding garden and your equally lovely sounding dogs 🌹.

My coffee is waiting ☕️

Good morning all from storm tossed Lancashire. I am still having trouble using the forums due to the black screen, will try to read your posts later.
Marydoll thinking of you, dear friend

Good morning all from sunny glos where there are lots of fast moving clouds.
I’ve just returned from town where there are lots of older people wandering about in the car park, chatting (probably to people they haven’t seen since this time last year 😂) and heading in the direction of of the doctors as was I. I was invited to queue jump as I had my stick and my flu jab was soon done. No covid as I’m too young.
I’ve crafting to do today as there are a few birthdays coming up

Have a good day all 💨🍃🍂

👋 Beechnut not heard from you properly in ages - unless of course I’ve missed your posts, quite possible for me these days.

Today here is difficult. The GP has increased the pain meds for Himself and consequently he spends more time sleeping. It’s a bit lonely and very sad seeing his reduced QoL.

FGT 💐

FGT. Just seen your post.
Thinking of you.

FGT, 🙏🕯💕

Thinking of you FGT

FGT Sending love to you 🙏🤗

FGT prayers 🙏 ☘️

I'm away down in England somewhere attending a conference. It's lunchbreak. The food is excellent and too much.

The weather is calm and warm, at least by my Scots standards.

I hope others are managing the high winds. DD in the Highlands has had power cuts.

Take care.
