Good Morning Friday 27th February 2026

Thanks HS1! lol Have a wonderful day ! And now I’m rethinking my name.. PP??!! What was I thinking !!!??? LOL!

Hi PP. You have posted here but its Fridays post so probably you won't get many replies.

It's sunny here. A lovely Spring day. Post again on .Sunday's Good Morning thread and you will get more replies. Enjoy your day.

I’ve been searching for a site for a while for aged like fine wine crowd and nothing appealed to me until I found this one.

The weather decided to cooperate and the kiddos were able to get outside to recess. I survived Friday - UHG - so many assessments to be given on Friday’s. I hate them as much as the children do. Fingers crossed this (prob next year) will be my last if my health and body holds out. I’m on year 30
in the classroom- second grade. Teaching is no longer enjoyable when all the higher ups want to tell you how to do it and they haven’t a clue what goes on in a classroom- let alone at a Title 1 school where you’re job has so many hats already and the weight of them all is finally crushing you.

Anyway- Spring is trying to find its way to us in Missouri. My daffodils are poking through the ground. Sitting here with my coffee and I can hear the song birds chirping away.

How is everyone’s Saturday starting off?

I love the Japanese ambassador! Hes such a great role model for his country.

Welcome PracticallyPensioned from the Black country 👋
Hope the weather held and the children got out for recess.

Marydoll did you see the Japanese Ambassadors visit to Glasgow ?
He brought his Paddington bear to see the sights ,have dinner at the restaurant where tikka masala was “invented” and took the bear to meet a Glasgow bear who lives in the window of a flat above shops .
It was very funny and very sweet.After they met the Glasgow bear he bought champagne at the shop and took it up to the bears owner as a thank you for taking them into her home .
I loved the pictures on FB he had a lovely reception from my fellow weegies

I have been following the Ambassador and his bear for a while now, he is an amazing man, and doing so much to promote the entire U.K.

Don’t fade into the background PracticallyPensioned !
We’re mostly in the UK, me in the city of Carlisle close to the Scottish border.
It’s interesting to hear of life in other parts of the world.

Good morning all! Newbie here and just wanted to say hi! I’ll be honest- I’m more of a stalker reading up on bits that hit home. I just wanted to start off with a hello before I fade into the background. lol

Currently, I’m in my classroom waiting for the school day to start. Hoping the weather will hold up so children will have outside recess. I think I read that this site was based in UK? May I ask where everyone is from? I’m in Missouri-
I’m off to run copies but I’ll check in a break. Have a good day all! 🤗

Good morning from the west midlands. A slow day day here today; shopping, housework & gardening after lunch. My downsizing has just currently hit the buffers! I think I swore abit and had a sort-of shouty paddy, that would have done a toddler proud! I don't know what the neighbours thought but they may have learnt a few new swear words. Everydays a schoolday.

A very late good morning from Shropshire.

My condolences on the loss of your aunt Pantglas.

A chaotic morning here.Will read the thread later 🤪

BlueSapphire , thank you for that reassurance. It is nice to know when somebody has recovered from something you suffer from
My sympathies are with you today, a sad day

bluesapphire the anniversaries don’t get any easier, thinking of you.

Good morning everyone from cloudy Lancashire.

It’s quite mild today now the wind has dropped and it’s stopped raining. MrB and I have been for an enjoyable walk around the Dock.

Marydoll she sounds like a truly awful person [fowers]

Wishing you a good day wherever you’re doing.

Good morning all,

It’s brightening up a bit in so far as the sky is a lighter grey than it was 😄.

Condolences to you and your family, pantglas 💐.

Marydoll your DiL’s mother sounds to one of life’s takers. It must be very difficult for you at times.

Wishing everyone all the best.

BlueSapphire 🌹

Paddington walked all the way to Babydoll's and there was no-one at home. 😪

BlueSapphire Anniversaries never get easier do they? I do feel though that the raw grief they invoke ebbs quicker with time and I hope you have a brighter day tomorrow. 🪻

Good Morning from a dry sunny 😎 Co Armagh
It was so wet yesterday morning as I struggled up the hill to Mass that I nipped into the local shop on my way home to buy some nice oat biscuits to have with a warming coffee, our cafe closed at Christmas, and we do miss it
Of course it dried up and we had a reasonable day
I guess my posts are boring , but I like to read everyone else’s bizzyness
I’m to see the dentist on Monday, I dread it ! I’ve anxiety flutters already , he is very gentle and understanding 😔

A late Good Morning all!

I got up briefly at 5am then decided it was too soon and I wanted to finish the dream I had been having. So got back in bed and drifted off until 7am.

The Tesco delivery has just been and I have dealt with that. We are now enjoying coffee and I have read all the Good Morning posts so far.

I do so relate to your posts about enjoying being at home and doing what the fancy dictates, Bellasnana and dragonfly. I think lockdown took away my wanderlust and it has never returned. DH satisfies his own with his cycle club rides and is always happy to do any errands I need, on his bike. We only really use the car for appointments.

Kind thoughts to all in need of virtual support and especially FGT and family.

Thank you Bella.

Just also wanting to reassure Melanie that I had exactly the same; I got an appointment at eye casualty who said it was a blocked oil gland and would eventually clear up, but it took months.
They gave me eye drops and recommended hot compresses and gentle massage which eventually did the trick.

BlueSapphire sending you a big hug on this sad anniversary. It doesn’t get any easier does it.😞💐

Good morning everyone from a damp, dank and dreary Northampton. I want to go to the shops today so will have to dodge the showers.

Everything tinged today with sadness as it was 8 years ago today that my darling DH died, I had been expecting it, but not quite so soon. We had 49 happy years together and he was and still is the love of my life. I have had some lovely messages this morning from my brother and youngest sister.

A bit of a shock yesterday as I heard that my other DSis has had a fall in her care home and broken her hip; she broke the other one five years ago. She should be.undergoing surgery as I write. Thankfully her eldest DD is.with her.

A busy day yesterday; mopped both bathroom floors and then damp-dusted the bedrooms, did a load of washing and dealt with a Sainsbury's delivery in the morning.
After lunch, realising that it had been dry for several days in a row, I bit the bullet and got the lawn mower out, and cut the back grass. It was hard going but the mower and I coped well!
I then got the loppers and the steps and tidied up the climbing rose and winter Jasmine on the pergola. I will need to find another gardener when I get back from holiday as I was let down badly last year by my previous one.

Hoping to hear better news later today about my DSis.
Wishing all dealing with sadness a better day today.

If I did half as much as you do Marydoll I would be a miracle worker! I wonder what your secret is.
I hope you have a real break soon though and that all the meds for you as well as for DiL work.
