Good Morning Saturday 4th October 2025

Very dark outside but sounds calm.

No real plan for today, if it is dry-ish, I’ll pop out and do litter picking.

Wishing you all a good weekend x

Peli, my DIL would love that display! Her house is already decorated with Halloween items and Babydoll is now hooked!

What a dreadful thing to happen to your neighbour, Ash.

God morning from a windy Glasgow, where it is 10°C, . Poor DD has lost part of her garage roof.😔

I'm awake early, the hacking cough has returned and DH has brought me a cuppa, I'm anxious that the cough will prevent me having my procedure on Monday, I was asked about it yesterday, when one of the scope nurses phoned,

Yesterday, my visit to Silverburn was a short one, I couldn't manage the walk down to Tesco from Marks, where to my utter joy, Scan and Go was operational again, 😂
Unpacking and packing a trolley is very difficult for me, anything to make my life easier,
I picked up lots of yellow sticker beef items, then got home to find little space in neither freezer.😱
I then had a workout, trying to cram it all in. It may never see the light of day again. 😂

Even although I was struggling, I succeeded in making a detour via Monsoon, where I picked up a 60% off dress, it could be classed as a case of shopping addiction triumphs over physical limitations. 😌

Late afternoon, a rather wet man, SIL, appeared out of the storm. He pretended he was just passing (miles from home) and looked as if he was settling down for some time, The biscuit tin was raided and Mars Bar cake and melting moments were quickly consumed, with a request that I don't tell DD. 😂

He mentioned picking up DD at the station, which I assumed was their local one in the village, but it turned out that she was coming here on a different line, to check up I wasn't dying 😉 When she did arrive, I had the usual lecture about keeping my health issues a secret, she has a point.

Today will be a quiet day, I feel quite ropey, my stomach is niggling away,
There is a thread on GN about decluttering craft stuff. This inspired me yesterday to do an hour in my craft room, How many envelopes can a person have?
DIL's sister, a guide leader, will be delighted with the suitcase of card and embellishments,
I may do another hour today to take my mind off things,

I was hoping for more photos of Cordoba, GG,

DH likes to go early for his racing papers, Yesterday, his golfing partner, who is sheilding before his transplant, phoned asking DH to get his racing papers and morning rolls today. DH said it was not a problem, then his partner proceeded to give him a shopping list for a number of neighbours, whose papers and roks he normally gets. I had to raid my purse for enough cash to pay for it all. 😂

I have been comforted by all your good wishes, it means a lot to me. I am feeling a tad sorry for myself at the moment. Thank you, ♥️

My thoughts and prayersare with all the mountaineers.

Stay safe, folks, I can hear the wind outside, Last night, I thought the conservatory roof was coming off!!

Good morning from blustery south Glos, it’s damp and dark here at the moment. We dodged the showers yesterday when out, we didn’t have as much rain as I’d expected.
I didn’t get to my art group yesterday as DH announced he was going out to get a haircut 😡, knowing full well that I have my only weekly outing on a Friday morning and that bigger dog has her dog walker. Why on earth he does this I don’t know, he has the whole week apart from Friday morning to do whatever he likes.
I made leek and potato soup for dinner, putting some in the freezer. It was quite tasty.
Nothing planned for today, it will be a blowy dog walk this morning!
Take care everyone 🌹

Good morning from a dry but very windy Torbay.

An unexpected turn of events yesterday as one of the garden flats was flooded. The poor occupant is a single mother who returned home from holiday at midnight on Thursday to find her front door wouldn’t open as the flat was flooded! Luckily, her daughters had stayed with their grandmother all week.

Before long, contractors were on site and (amazingly) members of staff from the management company and representatives of the leaseholders of whom we never see hide nor hair! All her worldly goods had to be brought out and some are on the frontage, awaiting a visit from the insurance assessor on Monday. The little family is being housed in a luxury caravan for a week on a site where the grandmother is a saleswoman. Another flat has been having a leak investigated (just like I had last year) and that was the cause of the problem. The owner of that property is currently on holiday.

Various neighbours pitched in to help. DH and some younger folk carried her sofas into the communal hallway where much of her furniture is being stored awaiting transport to a storage unit over the weekend. We have several damp photo albums spread out on an airer whilst we run the dehumidifier and an oil filled radiator in the hope of drying them for her. The little family is being housed in a luxury caravan for a week on a site where the grandmother is a saleswoman.

An early Lidl shop is planned here.

How lovely to meet up with Bellasnana, grandMattie!

Happy weekend and stay safe and warm! 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good Morning fr MS, sunny & 28c. The pumpkin patches opened on Oct 1st. We buy pumpkins for decor, & also use them for cooking - eg. chili & baked goods. The Autumn decorating season is officially open as well - that's a v big "thing" here. I hope everybody has a relaxing day & that the poorly pp'l feel a bit brighter.

Good morning from the Midlands, what a storm last night but at least the grass got a soaking.
Quiet weekend planned and going to make a bread pudding since I had I've. My grandmothers were the best but she used suet, mine will be Flora buttery so won't be as good, but I will like it,

Good morning from Malta where yesterday’s wind has dropped and we expect a sunny day with a high of 24°C. It feels chilly! I had to wear long sleeves yesterday!

Had the usual broken night with some very weird dreams so have woken feeling rather fuzzy headed.

I shall do some cleaning and laundry today but there’s also tennis from Shanghai to watch so I shall fit it in around that.

This evening I’m off to babysit the boys as their parents are going to an anniversary party.

I’m delighted as I haven’t seen them since Tuesday and really miss them. Not sure if I shall sleep there or here, it depends how late DD3 and SiL are planning to stay out.

Take care everyone, I hope the storm hasn’t caused problems for any of you and that you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning from a damp Bristol. It will be stormy later on.
I slept well for a change but am really annoyed that my loo stopcock which has been misbehaving has spoiled my good temper by giving up entirely p. It’s not 2 years old. I’m going to have to get a plumber in, urgently, as I’m away from Friday. Grrr…
Yesterday went well, although I was tired. The greengrocer has been extraordinarily generous, my harvest display this morning will be lovely.
I’ve got a covid/flu vaccination at midday, and no doubt I shall have to queue for ages, hopefully not in the wind and rain.
I’m making bread this afternoon for the Harvest lunch tomorrow, though I doubt I’ll be staying on as the jag always makes me feel unwell for a few days.
Bellasnanaand I had a chat yesterday morning to arrange a meeting; next Saturday. Very excited.
I hope everyone has a good weekend l. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Shropshire.Sounds calmer after yesterdays gales and torrential rain.

A quiet day planned as we are out to Tattoo Cymraeg tonight so a late night.

We have twelve hours free electricity tomorrow too Pantglas and I also have five loads of washing planned.Will use the tumble dryer too.

Hope Grandmabatty is feeling better and thoughts to all struggling.

Wishing everyone a good day🦩🌻

A windy good morning from a surprisingly warm north Wales, methinks I’ll just trot round the corner for my 🗞️ later rather than the hike through the trees to next town!

Hope you’re all surviving the weather and woes on the health fronts, major or minor - I’m booked in for a flu 💉 next week…before Mr PG! He has to wait for the over 75s batch and is miffed😂

Today will be spent wiping, wrapping and storing a huge bag of Dads 🍎 which should see me 👩🏻‍🍳goddessing my way through the winter producing pies, crumbles and sauces aplenty!

Free electricity tomorrow is the end of my exciting weekend where PG Towers will be like a 🇨🇳 🧺 with five washes sorted!

A peaceful weekend for you all 🙏
