Good Morning Friday 13th March 2026

GrandmaBatty that was a poignant verse to remember those poor children by after that tragedy. 30 years. 😢
Thinking now of all the souls affected by it.

Good morning from a sunny but still windy NE.
Yesterday's weather was dreadful, we had torrential rain during the afternoon and remained windy all day. I decided not to put the bin out last night in case it got blown over, regularly occurrence these days.
Sister and BIL visited after the funeral and I did a shop for essentials.
Late in the evening my elder sister rang from Germany, she said she needed to talk rather than message, I was concerned bearing in mind she has no family to help her. Transpires her cleaner had told her she could no longer work for her and she was upset, mountains and molehills 🙄
Quiet day with a little housework and catch up with some TV.
TIB used to be a DH thing here too, the day he couldn't manage was the beginning of the end.
Thoughts are with all in the same boat.
Have a good day.

Thank you FGT. I didn't want to start a thread on it, but felt it should be acknowledged. One of my colleagues lost her niece that day.

Good morning from Shropshire.After wild weather yesterday with torrential rain most of the day today is sunny with a breeze.

DD is slowly improving🙏🏻

We will collect DGD from school later and stay at their house until DD gets home.No sleepover today as they have a busy weekend planned.

I am so sorry your appointment was cancelled Roses.Can you contact PALS?I have found them very helpful.

Thoughts with all and wishing everyone a good day🦩🌻

A late good morning mick and all.

I got up much earlier and started doing jobs now I am sitting in the bed with a large latte contemplating getting ready for the gym.

The wind and rain woke me in the night, of course DH slept through.

Sorry to hear your scan was cancelled Roses

Baubles I am envious of your snow ❄️

Marydoll two year olds, especially little girls are a law unto themselves 🤦‍♀️

As a Dunblane parent who stood outside these gates it is not something likely to ever be forgotten.

I was sitting in my classroom, having my lunch, when we heard the news. I sat and wept.
I have never forgotten, the brave teacher, her pupils and their families.

I recall holding a Mothers Day assembly in school during the week of the Dunblane Massacre. The children lit a candle and said a prayer for all those involved. There were many teary eyed mums that day, myself included. Something I will never forget.

Grammaretto safe journey, it will be a long day for you.
DD just message to say, they have snow up in the village.

My friend and I in Millport in 1973. We thought we were so cool in those hats.

Scapa. 🥀
It was a dreadful day. I had colleagues with children there too. I'll never forget their faces when the news came out.

Scarpal My thoughts are with you.

Good morning everyone from overcast windy Lancashire.

It was very noisy here last night, with strong winds and heavy rain. Neither of us slept well. MrB and I have had a lovely though shorter walk down the Dock. I need my fresh air!

I have ordered new walking shoes, unfortunately they never last long due to my draggy foot.

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

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.

Thank you Grandmabatty, I have tears in my eyes now.

Good morning from Sheffield

Such a sad day for all those affected by the horror in Dunblane .

There seems to be a lot of poorly grans and a lot of grans frustrated by appointments and prescriptions. I hope things get sorted out for you all .
It’s so frustrating. I always feel very sorry for those unable to sort things out for themselves, those that are disabled and those who just aren’t capable of chasing up on appointments etc
The powers that be assume that we are all au fait with computers and how the NHS works and the majority of us aren’t

Take care everyone

Good afternoon from the south of Denmark. It rained pitchforks and shovels all morning here and blew a gale just to add to the misery.

Fortunately, I don't have to go out today, and the cats came in agains pdq and have spent most of the day in bed.

I honestly felt tempted to join them, but knew I would be unable to sleep tonight if I did so, instead , I made a wall cupboard for a dolls' kitchen, and repaired the dolls' cooking stove I have had since I was four. No shame to it, that after 70 years it needed a slight repair.

Good afternoon from Surrey. Overcast but no rain - yet!

Sounds like a lovely sort of a day.

Buenos Dias again from a very sunny Spain! The last few days have been busy with early morning excursions, so haven't had time to post.
However we now have two free days, so am going to have a later breakfast and take it easy today.

Yesterday we were in the lovely city of Cartagena for the day; the weather was fine and showed the city off at her best. The highlight of the day was a visit to the comparatively recently (1988) discovery of a Roman amphitheatre in the city centre, very impressive. It was featured on a Michael Portillo programme in the last few weeks.
Glammagran, I was surprised and delighted to find out that the cruise ship in port was Spirit of Adventure!
We had a delicious lunch overlooking the port.
Photos are of sunrise and sunset from our lovely hotel. And also the Roman amphitheatre.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Lovely in The Madrid Capital today (Friday) - approx. 20 degrees centigrade.

We have had terrible wet weather in February and for a week in March however, it is possessing a hint of spring !!

Hello All
Cold and very windy in Cambs, but great drying weather
