Good Morning Thursday 26th February 2026

Good morning all from a dull Black country.
With the dry weather the last few days both lawns have had a trim and the garden looks a lot tidier.
A new Lidl has opened locally so may give it a try.
Hope the ops go well for MrB and MrJ
Condolences to you and your family Redcar
Sorry to hear your DiL's wound has opened up again and hope your morning goes ok with BabyD
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans and may you all find a little bit of ☀️

Good morning from a sunny Suffolk, the third in a row. I could get used to this!

I hope that the surgery for the 2 DHs mentioned goes well and they are both soon safely home. Sorry MD to read that your DDinL is unwell after coming home. I hope she can be treated at home for this latest upset.

I’m off to my stretch class in just over an hour and after coffee with a couple of friends I’m hoping to finally pot up the primulas I bought over a week ago and weed a couple of beds.

Hope today is a good one for all.

Good morning from Cambridgeshire. Yesterday turned out to be a warm sunny 17 degrees and I met a friend for lunch in her cosy village pub and then we did a woodland walk.

Today is the return of Pilates and looking forward to seeing the normal crowd that go.

DD2 has a meeting with the school this afternoon to discuss how they can support DGD2. She is still struggling to go into school in the morning with anxiety but once in manages to stay the day. At age 11 nearly 12 she is definitely not the easy happy little girl she used to be but things are a little better than they were 🙏

Hoping all goes well for those facing medical procedures. Hope Babydoll is on her best behaviour MD and things soon get easier for your dil and yourself.

Wishing everyone a very good Thursday

Good morning. I haven’t read your new yet this morning, I’ll come back later.
Physio appointment first thing and then off to my art class. Quick sandwich and apple in the car and straight to the sewing group where we start a new quilt block today.
Wishing you all a good day with a smile along the way.

Here is DS at just over a year old!

Apologies, forgot to add my condolences redcar to you and your family. Take care of yourself.

Good morning all and wasn’t yesterday’s sunshine so lovely.

I met my friend for coffee and picked up a leaflet for a Titanic talk and popped into the towns museum to book it. I said we’ve probably heard it all before and the curator said ‘there’s lots more to know, especially with the Essex connection and in particular our town’. We’ll look forward to it.

I still have DGD staying here and Dd is recuperating at home. I’ll keep her for the rest of the week and see how things go. She has a school trip tomorrow and has to be at school early, so it makes sense to keep her here. DGD and Dd FaceTime each other several times after school.

I made another call to the hospital about DH’s worrying sore on his chest. This is supposed to be an urgent referral. They told me they are still going through the January referrals, so will be another two or three weeks.

Today I’ll go to bowls and then do some shopping.

Hope the ops go well MrB and Mr J. 🤞

Condolences Redcar.🙏

Take care and have a gentle day.🌱

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 9° and damp. baubles and NannyJan, best wishes to your dhs for their ops today. Mick not so good to hear about your lack of mobility. Ash spring flowers are full of hope, aren't they?
Yesterday I had a very lazy day and stayed in bed for a while. I managed to dry dds washing and do a small wash of my own but otherwise I vegetated. It seems to have done me good as I'm not so sore today. Thank you Susan and Redcar.
Today I'm returning to my art class in Stirling after a long absence because of various things. It's a 5 week block and I am going to work on a painting/pastel for ds. He has commissioned one! Otherwise a quiet day. Dinner will be steak casserole from the freezer. Have a good day all

Morning Mick, morning All. They sky looks heavy. Rain forecast for our corner of Somerset.

Mr C’s birthday outing went well yesterday. Thankfully it was quiet at Cheddar allowing us to navigate some steep and very wet flights of steps at our own very slow pace. We reflected over coffee on how different things could have been had the F2 on rotation to our GP practice not set him on the route to major cardiac surgery almost three years ago.

Another poor night for me, still awake at 3, that’s a fibro flare up for you. I’m looking forward to meeting a friend for coffee and a light lunch today. We’ve not been together for some months and I hope I don’t yawn at her as I certainly won’t be bored. If there’s time later on we’ll be off in search of more cake ready for the family get together our son is hosting on Saturday. There are some specific requests we hope M&S can meet.

🤞 for Mr Baubles, a TKR is major surgery but so worth it to be pain free. I’ve never regretted mine. Hope all goes well for Mr J and anyone with medical appointments today.

Best wishes and a hope Thursday is kind to us all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dry with light grey clouds
Hoping Baubles DHs knee replacement and MrJs procedures go well today
A much quieter day for me today, nothing specific planned apart from getting a few things packed for a trip to DD1s in Cambridge this weekend
Sad news Redcar, sending condolences to you and your family
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning everyone from a cloudy and damp Northampton, rain showers are forecast. Not going out anywhere today as an expecting a Sainsbury's delivery.

Yesterday was lovely again, and I managed my bus trip into town in the afternoon. Bank account all sorted and then I was halfway round the shops when I realised I had forgotten to get any cash out, so had to trail all the way back.

Some excellent news yesterday - DGD1 passed her driving test at her first attempt! Luckily I had popped into a card shop yesterday and got her a card, so will put some cash into it for a treat before I deliver it.

And today is DS's birthday, 47, where have all those years gone?

Wishing all a good day, and hope today's surgery goes well for the two DHs.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It feels mild and I am enjoying the longer days though the sun has been noticeable by its absence.

Great news about your DH operation happening Baubles. I also wondered if it was the lack of cement which caused the postponements.

Sorry you are having mobility problems Mick.

I have yoga later this morning and ceilidh dancing tonight.

Wishing everyone a happy day.

Good morning from a bright W Kent where I have just seen DGS3 off to work in London. Lovely evening spent chatting to him.
Art this morning and then earwax removal this afternoon before DGS and girlfriend return for dinner and to collect his car. Feel exhausted already.
Hope the ops go well for MrB and MrJ and glad you have a podiatrist appointment llfl
Sorry to hear your sad news Redcar
Best wishes to all

Good morning all,

I just wanted to send my good wishes to Mr Baubles and Mr J for today .

I have Babydoll on my own this morning, DH stupidly made a dental appointment for today. WHY?

I am not doing too well healthwise and much as I love BabyD, I am dreading this morning.

My DIL's wound has opened up again, she was so so poorly, when we saw her yesterday.😪

I need to dash she will be here soon.

Love to all.x

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. It’s light out, 9 degrees with light cloud. Yesterday was sunny and mild all day. I went to yoga, then rested all afternoon while my hairdresser restored my hair to the colour I like it!
Sad news yesterday, my dear sister in law passed away on Tuesday evening after a long illness.

I’m at DD1s today, dog and child minding. I have the three eldest after school as DD2 has parents evening after school. Littlest is at pre school.

baubles I hope your DH’s operation goes well today, also that MrJ’s procedure is successful.

I hope that grandmabatty is feeling less bruised and achy today.

Thinking of all who are struggling with pain or worries today.

Good morning from a dark, rainy, quiet Cornwall. Did lots of bus jaunting yesterday as I needed several things from different towns. I have eight towns within easy reach by bus from where I live so the choice is wide. Passing through an old tin mining village I found an abandoned church I hadn't noticed before so I'll be going back to investigate at some point.

I posted my daughter's weighty birthday parcel yesterday to Liverpool and can see that it's arrived overnight in Chester. Such good value for £9 postage.

Today a friend is coming for coffee. We've worked together on many projects over the years and I trust her wisdom to help me sort out a problem I'm dealing with. After that I will trundle off somewhere, maybe to the library that holds the county music collection as I could do with some new Baroque sheet music.

Mick is it your breathing causing problems? Maybe have a chat with your doctor.

Good Morning from Durham. It’s going to be a cool, windy day, but that should keep the rain away.
I’m expecting a new washing machine between 8-10am, so I think the rest of my day will be spent catching up with DD2’s laundry.
Hope the medical procedures go ahead for MrB and MrJ today, without any hitches.

Best wishes to all. X

I hope the surgeries go well for your DH’s baubles and NannyJan 🙏🏻

Hope Mr Baubles and Mr J procedures go well today, good wishes to them

Good morning from a very mild Stockport.
Just popping in to say good luck with the TKR to Bauble’s H, it is a big operation but so worthwhile , my own recovery was good and to be over that grinding pain such a relief.
Also to NannyJ’s H, small op it may be but it is good to get it done.

Good morning from Shropshire.A mixed forecast today.

We enjoyed a quiet day yesterday until we picked DGD up from school when it got very busy!Her dance class doesn’t finish until 8 now.It was 10 by the time we got home 😴

A blood test for me this morning then DH has his exercise class this afternoon.

I hope your mobility improves Mick and also hope Grandmabatty is feeling ok after her fall.

Thinking of FGT.

Wishing everyone a good day🦩🌻

Good morning from Sheffield

Just about to get out for a walk

Not sure what to do this afternoon, I may go to a garden centre. This spell of sunshine has turned my thoughts to the garden.

The family are coming for tea . DH made a spag sauce yesterday so that all done.
Bless him , why he uses every pan , pot and utensil is quite baffling. I would never say anything, it’s delicious and I have a dishwasher so no extra work

Take care everyone

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

OH and I had a delicious lunch out yesterday. My fillet steak was small and perfectly pink.

Back home I bit the bullet and booked an appointment with a podiatrist. I know there’s one antibiotic left to take, but I doubt my toe will suddenly improve! My appointment isn’t for three weeks but that’s quicker than the NHS route at the moment.

OH will visit his bees today. I have my book group. We’ve all read the same book this time - other months may have a theme.

Have a good day everyone.

Thinking of FGT. 🌹

Good morning from a dull Black Country, after a lovely sunny day yesterday.

MrJ's small operation is today, we have to leave just after 7am, as appointment is 7.30am. The journey is about 20minutes. They are also doing some plastic surgery on his head, so he will be fairly sore I imagine for a while.

Then it will be a wait for the call to collect him when it is over.

Had another letter for a Hospital appointment for Mum to see Epilepsy Nurse! No-one has mentioned a possibility of this! Also it is Cannock, which is too far, so have to ring to ask to change it to Wolverhampton. This will be her 4th visit so far for various tests.

Hope your mobility improves Mick

Wishing you all the best day possible. FGT

Good morning, I think it is going to be mild here in S E Essex.

My cleaning fairies 🧚‍♀️ 🧚‍♀️ are here first thing, I might venture to the farm shop after, and M & S Food Hall.

Hope all goes well for your DH’s TKR baubles

((Hugs))) to all in need (or just fancy one) 🙋‍♀️
