Good Morning Tuesday 7th October 2025

Good morning from a dry and mild Torbay with a gentle breeze.

Yesterday I attended my Move It or Lose It class for the last time for a few weeks as a trip to DH’s home in France is planned. When I offered my apologies for forthcoming absences, the lovely teacher told me how glad she was that I was enjoying good enough health now to undertake such ventures. This is true - six months ago it was a a very different story and I am thankful to be back to normal.

In the evening, I attended the first rehearsal for It’s A Wonderful Life, due to be staged in December. Mine is a minor rôle as a townsperson so I don’t need to attend rehearsals regularly for a few more weeks.

Have a lovely day with your GN visitor, Bellasnana.

Perhaps your rampant rose has responded to the hot summer weather we had, RosesandLilac?

So your neighbour's friend with whom you shop must be anticipating the arrival of a great, great grandson, grandMattie! Wow!

A good day is wished to you all. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and damp. Light rain is forecast for the day. GrandMattie how lovely to talk to your son. Pantglas enjoy your day. It sounds busy but fun.
Yesterday was a busy morning. I did an hour in the school library and it badly needed it. The shelves were a mess. I changed the displays for Halloween inspired books. I ordered haunted house decals for the library windows which should arrive today. Back home, I tidied up the kitchen and had a lie down. Then I picked up the boys. We had a mishap taking dgs1 to football training. Dgs2 dropped his iPad and it's screen is cracked. I was cross because he had been told not to carry it. He was upset and dgs1 was cross with me. Apparently it was my fault. He tholes(puts up with) his wee brother most of the time, but when something upsets him, big brother swoops in. Ds updated us with his meal in Germany. Lots of photos. I removed my dressing last night and everything looks healthy.
Today will be pick up the boys, feed them breakfast then deliver to school/nursery. Afterwards I have to take out more money for the hedge work which hopefully will start at the end of the week. Dinner will be pie and beans. Have a good day all.

Good morning from a clear, dry Bristol.
Yesterday, I decided to dip the towel in which I dried the piccalilli vegetable vinegar/turmeric mixture, so washed it immediately. It is now waiting to be line dried today.
I got 12 jars of piccalilli, have washed them and now need to label them before the minimum 6 week maturing.
At Tesco, while having the obligatory time consuming coffee, my neighbour’s friend commissioned me to make a baby quilt for her grandson’s coming grandson! I’m thinking of making one with kites, and very colourful.
I was busy most of yesterday with housework and stuff, but still managed a nap. I made fgt’s SOAP dish for dinner and the rest to be frozen.
I had the lovely surprise of DS calling me. My offspring call m3 when they think about it - the interval can be a week or six, so it is always wonderful to chat with them…. He is delighted to be reunited with his chattels, finally sent over from India . As usual, bureaucracy from both countries…
Today, baking for the FAB cafe, more cooking for the freezer and planning the baby quilt. I’ll look at my stash and see what I’ve got which would be suitable.
May the appointments and procedures have been successful, both past and future. 💐 Thinking of you all but especially the fgts and md.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩❤️

Good morning from a dark Black Country, where I have no idea what the weather is like, but seems dry.

Holiday washing all done yesterday, and almost dry as it was a lovely sunny day. Went into town for a few bits and bobs, and met my friend for coffee and chat.

Monthly Progressive walk today with one of my Thursday walking groups. We are walking 7 miles! Then over to Mums this afternoon to take her food shopping.

Wishing you all the best day possible, with thoughts of FGT's* Marydoll and anyone else struggling with health issues

Good morning from Malta where we expect a sunny day with a high of 24°C with quite a strong wind.

Yesterday I had my nails done ( very blurry photo due, I discovered later, to something sticky on the lens courtesy of the boys I suspect!) then went to do a bit of shopping. I wanted a shoe rack for by the front door and found just the thing but it was one which had to be assembled yourself! I’m not much good at do it yourself but managed and am quite pleased with it. It has a little cover over it so you don’t see the shoes and it looks tidy.

I’m meeting a Gransnet friend in Valletta this morning. She doesn’t post these days but we have been Facebook friends for years so it will be lovely to meet in person.

I rarely go to Valletta but will be going again on Saturday to meet our lovely grandMattie. Two Gransnetters in one week!😄

Hoping you have a good day.☀️

Good morning from south Glos, I’ve woken with a headache 🙄, no idea why.
Yesterday I was too puffed after the early dog walk to do my volunteering stint, very frustrating.
I got DH to lasso a very wayward rose and tie it to a hefty stake. For 8 years it’s been a shrub rose, a beautiful pale yellow with an amazing scent but this year it’s grown 12’ stems! I’ve never seen anything like it, they’re not suckers, it’s as healthy as can be but the rampant growth is astonishing!
Besides that little happened yesterday, housework and the usual stuff. I’m crocheting a cowl, my shoulders and neck ache so I’m hoping a little extra warmth will help.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Good morning Mick and all who follow- I hope you all had a better sleep 💤 than me! Flu jab arm aching, Mr PG snoring and a full moon messing with my equilibrium…🤬

We also have a busy day ahead so no chance for a cheeky shuteye this afternoon either! Factory outlet this morning to replenish HIS autumn collection 🫨, followed by cinema to see a derring do film 🥱 then a fish supper before settling down to GBBO 😋

Will pop in as and when to see your doings, may they all be pleasant or productive at least x
