Good Morning Monday 9th March 2026

Good morning everyone from misty Lancashire.

MrB and I have enjoyed a pleasant walk around the Marina. It’s rather grey and muggy but feels a little warmer.

I must chase up my blood results this week, I have a feeling something has been missed.

Hope your DH gets sorted Baubles. MrB had to have stitches in his hand some years ago and it started leaking green goo while we were visiting near Aberdeen. Fortunately Fraserburgh hospital cleaned, redressed and provided antibiotics. We were very grateful.

Fabulous photo BlueSappjire, I love reading about your travels.

Hope it’s only bruises Dragonfly, it sounds dangerous.

I shall have to Google pickleball Melanie, I haven’t heard of before.

As always, thinking of those with troubles in their lives.

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.

dragonfly so sorry to hear you had a nasty fall. Fingers crossed for an appointment

Good morning from coastal West Sussex. It was very misty first thing but clearing now.

Had DD1 and family for tea and cake yesterday. It is DGS’s 20th birthday this week so we sung happy birthday and he opened his cards and some small presents (we just give him money) before heading back to university. Sadly he has decided to drop out - he was already repeating first year but says he has realised he really doesn’t enjoy his (IT related) course and wants to do something more hands on. It’s very hard to be young these days, I think.

I have loads of leeks to wash and prep for soup and the freezer. We planted quite a lot at the allotment last year and haven’t used as many as usual, partly because more than a tiny portion has such a bad effect on my innards (sorry!).

So many bad nights mentioned - I hope you all sleep soundly tonight.

Md, I saw the news of the Glasgow fire last night. It looks horrific. Thank goodness nobody seems to have been hurt.

Dragonfly, I hope your injuries are minor and you recover speedily.

Best wishes to all.

Morning from dull Co Durham.
No plans for today.
Have a good day everyone.

Dragonfly I’ve just caught up on other posts and saw you had a fall. No wonder you are in agony. Hope you get to the Drs 💐

Good Morning from a bright dry Co Armagh,
Out to get groceries this am
Yesterday was footering about in the greenhouse , but it’s too cold to do proper gardening
A large pelargonium seems to have survived in the greenhouse , I’ve gingerly pulled off any crispy bits and gingerly watered it by adding rainwater to the saucer underneath it , so fingers crossed I’ll get some cuttings , if not the whole plant
It is very cold daytime and even colder nights
Thinking of the poorly ,the sad , and the falling from chairs ! 💐

dragonfly I hope you aren't too badly bruised

Good morning from a very misty Durham.

Fitness class this morning then I must take a package to PO, another Lego sale.
I have a few more items to sell on so will attempt to organise today.

School pickup later, just one DGD today as GS stays behind for his SATS booster class.

Thinking it will be bolonaise for dinner today. Lots of cheese on top, the way GD likes it.

Wishing all the best day.

I took this last year GM.

Ooh, llfo, this has made me rather sad 😔 that I left east Kent. We had a few gorgeous bluebell wood near us, the best being “Hanging Woods” a 10 minute walk from our house.
I know nowhere here and I don’t have transport to out of the way places.

dragonfly I hope you can get a doctors appointment today, and that you are only bruised. Hard floors are very unforgiving aren’t they.

Good morning from a grey NE but with a temperature of 8°.
Yesterday was a lazy day, I did go into the garden to get some fresh air but the wind was very chilling.
DD rang during the afternoon and we chatted for more than an hour. I asked if she had heard any more about the police presence on Friday night, nothing in the news but she said that a wagon turned up at 7am and took away all the broken furniture and swept up all the broken glass. Glaziers were there too replacing the windows.
Have a good day.

Morning all from a grey but mild West Oxfordshire.

A good day yesterday. Church with just six in the congregation. OH and I had a tromp around our fairly local bluebell woods. They aren’t flowering yet but here’s a photo I took yesterday of the beginning of them!

Cleaner is here this morning and I’ll do a Waitrose shop. After lunch I’ll pop over to my neighbour who hosts a monthly craft group.

Have a good day.

People’s kindness is always so very touching ,isn’t it fgt. And you find out who your true friends are!
“You’ve friends for a reason, for a season or for life” is never truer in your circs. Abrazos

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it's dry and will be 11°c

I’m going over to see my stepfather mid morning take him some shopping from my larder. Owing to circumstances I e had to neglect him somewhat these past few months. Two sets of neighbours over the road from him have done a sterling job getting in his groceries twice every week ~ such kindness.

Our youngest daughter had offered to get his shopping put into her weekly Teaco delivery but this was never needed, thanks to his splendid neighbours.

Such kindness much appreciated by our little family x

Good morning from Sheffield

Another night of little sleep, GrandMattie I am with you on the exhaustion front

We had a successful weekend with the grandchildren . They had a good time and it was nice to see them

DH has taken up Pickleball so we had a trip to a shopping outlet to find him some shorts and top and shoes to wear.

I don’t think I’ll be joining in with his hobby.
Yoga is just about as energetic as I can manage

I have prayer group this morning , working this afternoon.
Take care everyone

Good morning from Shropshire.Dry at the moment but rain forecast for later.

I enjoyed the author event yesterday which was part of a celebration for International Women’s Day.

I feel weary so am going to have a couple of restful days I hope.H has tests at hospital today.Always something to worry about.

Hope the appointments go well Ash and Mr baubles and thoughts to all with health concerns.

I’m sure you will be fine today Jax back on the phones.Another step towards normality 💪

Ouch dragonfly.I hope you can see a dr today.

Wishing everyone the best day possible 🦩🌻

Good morning Michael and all GNs. Grey but mild here in South Yorkshire, and I woke up late, having had something of a broken night.

I went down to our local garden centre yesterday morning to buy plant food and bird food and had a bacon sandwich which I ate in the car as their cafe is basically a very large tent and it was a bit cool to be sitting out. The sandwich was generous and tasty but now my car smells of bacon! I suppose there are worse things it could smell of!

While I was out I missed a message from DD asking if they could pop in and when I got home they were on the doorstep! We had coffee and then went out for a local walk before they left. DS phoned in the evening to say he will be down to take me out to lunch on Saturday.

I have nothing planned today except to sort out the bird feeders and go over to the gym at some point. I had a text from the surgery this morning so will have to call in there at some point.

Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning all from a wet Glasgow, where it is 6°C
A very restless night, DH eays I was calling out in pain.

Yesterday was a reasonably quiet day, I was hoping to run up to DD's, but my diverticulitis put paid to that
I sat sewing a dress by hand, which I had cut and altered. It was stretchy material and my machine is acting up, so hand sewing was easier,

DH did put down the new dining room rug, but it involved moving out the furniture. It was an opportunity to give it a proper clean, including all the chairs and floor
I am really pleased with the result.

We were shocked to read about the fire next to Central station.
DS1 and DD will need to drive to work leaving their cars at a Subway station and DS2 and Family are returning from Edinburgh today but there are no trains from Central Station.
DH is stressing already, about driving in town.
I will need to do the school run, if DH has to go to Glasgow.

This morning, I need to phone the candle suppliers, there were discrepancies in the order and yesterday I need to investigate.
Originally, I ordered 600 palms, but the P.P has changed his mind a number of times over the weekend, about ordering more and how many. Our congregation is swelling.
He is hard work!

I hope all the hospital appointments go well. Ash, I was surprised to be in and out in ten minutes, after my recent echogram.

Before deciding if I go out today, my pain levels will need to die down a bit .

I wish you all a lovely day, whatever your plans.

Restful not restive 🙄

Good morning from a brightening northwest coast. I just had a restive day yesterday after my gallivanting the day before. I’m enjoying finding plays etc. on Classic British Telly on YouTube (rather like Karma) and have started South Riding from ‘74 and watched a Noel Coward play from the same era. Can’t be bothered carrying on with Bridgerton and the like…

Will practise some songs for the music club tomorrow and get on with some housework.
Thoughts to all🌺

Good morning Mick and everyone from rainy Carlisle.
I'm a bit behind this morning after a restless night and weird dreams.
I had quite a busy weekend, I took my rotting, dismantled garden bench to the recycling centre on Saturday after nipping to Sainsbury's for a few oddments but mostly to refuel the car.
Yesterday I gave the interior of the car a good clean, lots of wood chips to clear up.
I've also been planting out in the garden and sitting out in it with my afternoon coffees. After a few warm, sunny days, that's all over for a bit by the sound of it.

Today, the usual round of vacuuming and bed changing plus some necessary boring admin to do. This is an expensive time of year for me starting with the house insurance which is up for renewal shortly followed by the boiler's annual check, followed by the car insurance!

The good news on the pill front is that the GP, new to me, is starting a steroid reduction program so I'm hoping that works without flaring up my condition.

Wishing you all a good day if possible.

Good morning everyone from the east coast and it’s a grim, grey morning.

We had a nice day yesterday with shopping and a lovely lunch.
DS in China called to tell us while we are there DDILs brother is getting married. It’s in DILs home town so we will be going. I’m quite excited about it. When DS and DIL got married the wedding had lots of western influences but I’m looking forward to seeing a full Chinese wedding. It’s a four hour train ride from DSs city and not a tourist town at all so we attract a lot of attention there being foreigners. DH isn’t keen on going.

Today is DGDs 4th birthday. All our gifts are Barbie themed and we’ll take them over when we go a look after them tonight. DH is making chocolate pancakes for dessert after their dinner. She’s having a special day with her mummy while GD1 is at school.

At lunchtime I’m taking mum and little dog to the vets so she can have the dressing changed on her paw then I’ll go for GS from school. I need to put a curry in the slow cooker this morning with having such a busy day.

Wishing everyone a lovely day with moments of joy🌼
Thoughts to those struggling with illness and stress💐

Good Morning

Grey, but dry and not too cold, in my part of Essex.

Have a good week, one & all

Good morning from a misty damp looking Suffolk. Nothing I have to do today so,apart from walking the little dog after breakfast, I may try to finish sorting out a pile of clothes I haven’t worn for ages and probably assigning most of them into the bag for the local charity shop.

Yesterday I booked tickets for an outing one of my friends had done with her daughter and said was brilliant. It is organised by a social enterprise company in Norwich and is an underground tour of a part of the medieval city close to the castle. It is late this month and I’m going with a friend who lives on the north Norfolk coast and Norwich is a good half way point for us to get together.

They also do a tour of Carrow House,the former home of the Colman family( of mustard fame). There are only a few of those tours and I’ll look for tickets in the summer.

I hope today is a good one for all especially those who are unwell or with worries.
