Good Morning Saturday 21st February 2026

Good morning from so far a sunny Leicestershire.

Nothing planned today although I have plenty of admin piling up. Yesterday I had to make a video appointment with a rep from the Dutch government in order to get a personal number so I can log on every year to get the annual statement of my Dutch pension. Bureaucracy gone mad.

Our buses are usually pretty good with one every 15 minutes into town. They are quite fun as everyone chats to each other and they all know the bus drivers.

My thoughts are with those struggling and I hope everyone has the best day possible.

Here’s another.

Good morning everyone from a brighter Northampton, but showers are forecast, so hope I can get to the shops and back without getting too wet.

Had a very lazy day yesterday, doing very little; newspaper, puzzle pages, reading and knitting. I actually finished The Bell Jar! Was pleased that the book finished on a more hopeful note, which sadly was not the case for the author Sylvia Plath.

Will shortly shower and get off to the shops on the bus, not much on my shopping list, but I need to get out of the house. Hoping to be back for the Six Nations.

Wishing all a pleasant Saturday.

Good morning from a dry and milder NE.
Yesterday's lunch out was okay but not as good as anticipated.
Neither of us finished our main course so when we asked for the bill the owner came and asked what the problem was. He deducted a percentage from the bill. I guess he thought we may give a bad review. They weren't out of pocket as friend always tips well and afterwards I realised that they had added a service charge too.
DS and GD2 will visit this afternoon, always lovely to chat to her and hear her play the piano.
Have a good day everyone.

Hello everyone from West Lothian. I was convinced it was going to be raining but when I opened the curtains it was, if not a blue sky, at least dry.
Yesterday was a pretty ‘rubbish’ day. Neither dh nor I woke up in good moods and this wasn’t helped by me getting stuck in the downstairs loo. I’ve no idea how this happened because I didn’t lock (only shut) the door. Somehow the part that goes from the handle into the door frame, to keep it shut, got stuck in there 😳 and very firmly! Dh had to kick the door open and then blamed me for being too ‘heavy handed’ 🤷‍♀️.
Hopefully today will be a better day. I don’t have much planned. Housework. Hip exercises. And hopefully a chance to practice my Spanish. Tonight I’ll be watching the GB men in the curling final against Canada.
I loved the pictures of Perranporth and Bamburgh beaches marzipan and greyduster. I have happy memories of being on both of them. In the case of Perranporth it was over 40 years ago! I would love to go back but Cornwall seems so far away.
Have a good day everyone

Bamburgh is a great favourite of DD1 its where she would really like to live. I have very happy memories of Perranporth

Good morning from a dry Cambridgeshire where it is 10 degrees but apparently feels more like 3!

Yesterday I enjoyed a walk into town to meet my friend and we had a good catch up over lunch and then she gave me a lift home as the rain had arrived which then set in for the day. Lots of road closures and floods here causing chaos.

Lovely pics of beaches on here today. The Norfolk coast is my nearest but still nearly two hours away.

Today I plan to walk at my local National Trust property and will then settle down with my kindle unlimited book for the afternoon. No doubt the rugby will be on as soon as DH arrives back from his indoor bowling.

Wishing a good day to all 💐

FGTs 💐

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast. Really enjoyed the art group yesterday although it was a small turnout. I took some of the flowers we had painted round to a friend not long out of hospital, but didn’t stay as she was very tired and I hadn’t phoned.

Then I had lunch in a cafe in the park and chose corned beef hash which I haven’t had for ages. It’s a nice friendly place with dog owners chatting to each other.
A long FaceTime with my sister in the south rounded off a pleasant day.

I’m off soon to a church fair although I should really tackle some house stuff. It can wait.
Thoughts to FGTs and all🌺

Good morning from the bright but still chilly west midlands.
It's one of those funny days today, a mix of good things & bad things! Firstly & positively my leeks are growing nicely & then secondly; I look like a character out of Dicken's due to manky, sore. & bandaged hands because of Raynards syndrome. Does anyone suffer from this blight during prolonged cold spells?
