Good Morning Thursday 16th October 2025

Good morning from Bristol.
Yep, I’m home now! It’s a lot chillier here now - funny how one adjust so quickly to the temperature and weather.
Our last day, yesterday, was long. After packing, etc., we took our coach for a last trip, this time to the War Museum in Valletta.
What a beautifully curated and set out museum! It was too big to “do” the whole thing; I chose the period when the Knights of St. John were occupying the island, especially the great siege by the Ottoman Turks. They had three timelines - one for world history, one for the Knights and one for the Turks. So very interesting.
A reasonably quick lunch in the perfect weather (before the forecast storm), then on to the airport where we said farewell to our delightful an£ knowledgeable guide, Matthew.
The return journey was long and tiresome but I was dropped off home just before midnight. As I had dozed on the flight to London and coach journey back here, I didn’t sleep very long, but it was quality sleep…
Today, usual post-trip stuff.
I’ll read all your posts this week, and hugs all round. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good Morning in mid-Lancs and I hope to goodness it won't be yet another dull, dreary, grey day.

That's about 10 days now - why won't this blanket of cloud move? Not the slightest breath of wind!

It's like The Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner when the ship was becalmed and going nowhere for weeks after the mariner stupidly shot the albatross with a bow and arrow........

Otherwise, things seem normal and that's as much as we can expect.
