Good Morning Monday 9th March 2026

Good morning Mick and those who follow. It's 9° and slightly damp in Polmont.
Yesterday I had a quiet day pottering. It was a lovely day and it was nice to be in the sunshine. My chives are growing. Dgs1 will be happy. He takes a handful at a time to chew. 🤑
Sadly my feet were very painful last night with lots of nerve pain. It's very annoying.
Today is early childcare day so I've had one coffee already and about to have my second. As usual for a Monday, boys to school/nursery then home to potter and nap before picking them up later. Dgs1 has football training and dd will pick up dgs2 later. Dsil didn't appear yesterday to put out the bottle bank so it'll stay put for another fortnight. It's annoying as I rarely ask for anything from them. I assume he forgot and I don't like reminding him. In the afternoon I'll do an hour in the school library. Right! Second coffee time. Have a good day all

Good morning from Durham. Still dark, but I’m promised a dry day with a high of 12. I’ve laundry to hang outside. I usually wait until later to post after I’ve read others, but I’m up and about, as I need very little sleep.
So busy yesterday, just at home, but I didn’t stop - pleased with my efforts.
I’m going to check on my rental house this morning, then coffee with a friend this afternoon. We usually do mornings, but she has a couple of appointments today. Must contact my electrician and also ask when the gardener is starting up again, and the house insurance is to finalize - looks like I’m changing provider.

Best wishes to all. X
