Good Morning Monday 23rd March 2026

Good Morning all from the central south coast. 2 degrees on the garden thermometer first thing. We have high, light cloud but are promised more sunshine today albeit colder.

I have ironing on my to do list then my DH has booked a free haircut in my in-house salon. Well, that's actually in the kitchen with the clippers. I can never work out why his hair is so thick and grows so fast at the back of his head but refuses to do more than sprout some wisps on top.

Sad stories of loss here this morning and made me think of my cousin whose 12 year old son died of an asthma attack, in her arms. My son, was the same age and also an asthma sufferer so I was very anxious about him too, for a long time. Do we ever stop worrying about our children? Life can be very hard. My cousin has never been the same since.

May today bring some ease and comfort to all in need.

Good morning all from a cloudy North Leicestershire.

We had a lovely day yesterday with Dd3 and Co. Loads of chatter, news etc, ALL the food disappeared and the 'our' team won their match. DS2 arrived just after they left. We slept well.

Today I am going shopping - I need new underwear and I want to find a new perfume.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning all from Glasgow, where it is 2°C.

What dreadful news GMB, your poor friend. 💐

I have been shocked to hear that someone, I have known for over thirty years and whom I considered a friend, has been convicted of a serious sexual offence, he will probably die in prison. He has destroyed his life, but more so that of his poor victim.

I feel betrayed and heartbroken, that he has fooled us all and hidden this very dark side of his soul. It is so awful, that no-one can talk about it, not even DH and I.
I cannot sleep for thinking about it.

I have a few jobs to do at church, then a gentle day is planned, apart from the school runs. Our days are very restricted at the moment.

I am suffering the effects of, what I thought was some gentle gardening yesterday. My already painful joints are protesting.

I wish you all a good day and best wishes to all the mountaineers.
The school run beckons, I need to get going.

Good morning everyone from the east coast.
I am sitting here surrounded by Easter decorations and it’s so colourful. The DGDs came with DD after gymnastics for lunch so they helped put them up. I’m sure DGS will love seeing them after school today.

Yesterday DH went up the ladders to chop the tops off the eucalyptus trees. They can easily get away from us with their height. I brought lots in the house to put in vases. It all went in the garden bin luckily so no need to go to the tip.
I have had two more migraines since Thursday so that’s four in three days it’s so strange it’s happening. The only thing that’s changed with me is that I’ve been taking marine collagen powder in coffee for a week or so. I am going to stop taking it for a few days to see if they go. Even in times of heavy stress I’ve never had them like this.
If they carry on after this week I’ll go to the drs. I will also get my eyes tested early if they carry on.

Sending special thoughts to those suffering with illness, stress and sadness. 🎉
Hope today brings moments of joy🌸

Good news about your DH Baubles ☺️
But dreadful for you Marydoll to feel so betrayed.
((Hugs))

Good morning all . Chilly here in Essex.

A busy day yesterday with plant/shrub buying, gardening and visiting my brother in hospital. I was pleased to see him smiley and chatty and out of pain. He’ll be there for a few more days , hopefully back to his ‘normal’ self. 🙏.

Today I have Music Club this afternoon , always full of fun and singing. £1 for two hours of enjoyment and another 50p for tea and biscuits. The U3A ! 🌟.

Grandmabatty* such sad news 🙏
Ash troublefree journey 🤞.
Madeleine I do hope you find your BP machine, it’s so frustrating isn’t it!
Gramaretto a shock for your friend, and you. 🥀.

Take care everyone and u hope you all have a’good’ day. 🪻

Good morning from a brightening Suffolk after another lovely day yesterday. Such sad news in a few posts today reminding me of the difficulties some people have to cope with,often for a lifetime.

I have reading to do for my monthly meeting although,for some reason,this week’s will be the second one this month. Must be something to do with the Easter holidays I suspect. I’ll probably use this as a reason( excuse) to leave the pile of ironing for another day.

Morning from an overcast S Hants.
How very sad Grandmabatty that poor family.
Your granddaughter is a ⭐️ Ashcombe well done her.
Go gently Roses that sounds a big job to tackle in one go, maybe stages so you don’t get too puffed.
We had a quiet day yesterday, MrJ did win in the meat draw at our local and I had a garden wander.
Voluntary phone today, hopefully not too busy, I’ll try and fit in a walk, jacket may be required.

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast. Yesterday I looked at new music and a few household jobs, but my heavy cold has left a cough and I didn’t go out in the evening to a friend’s open mic as I felt tired. Instead, caught up with old documentaries on YouTube which I find rather fascinating.

More music study today for the music club tomorrow and it feels much colder.
Sad news Grandmabatty and thoughts to all🌺

Marydoll how horrible for you, your family and those who knew this person, I feel for their victim 🤬

A very good morning everyone from south Manchester. I slept well I think I was exhausted by the outpouring of grief yesterday here on my own. You know the type of anguish where you grab a cushion, howl and rock to and fro? That was me.

However this morning I feel so much calmer again. I have a nicely busy day of pleasant events to look forward to as well.

Brunch with the older brother of Himself (my wingman these past three years) and his lovely wife. She told me he will be 80 next year which surprised me.

Then early afternoon I have the chair yoga class which to be honest I enjoyed far better than I thought I would. Stretching and movements good for the upper body.

Finally I shall make an early doors evening meal before going next door but two for 🍷and a weekly catch up with my neighbours who happen to be long standing friends of many years duration. How surprised and delighted were we when they bought in this development a year or so before Himself was diagnosed. Their being so close by reassures me should I need help with anything now I’m on my own. x

Good Morning from a grey Co Armagh , it’s chilly too , but yesterday was unexpectedly pleasant ,
I was let loose with the pruning! And I nipped out sweet pea
All looks a bit baldy this morning!

MD I’m sure you feel so betrayed

Thoughts for all the sadness our friends are experiencing

Good morning everyone from overcast Lancashire.

It’s quite pleasant out, warmer than yesterday. MrB and I have enjoyed our usual walk around the dock. These beautiful white daffodils are growing in abundance along the roadside behind the boatyard. I’m sure they’re not native but lovely nonetheless.

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

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.

Marydoll, sadly the monsters look just like the rest of the world. There are some truly horrible things coming to light recently. I hope you have a restful day

Good morning from Sheffield

I’m late this morning.
I went out early to meet a friend for coffee. A very nice time we had too

Some grans with health worries and upsetting news this morning. My thoughts are with you all

My legs and back held up yesterday on my bike ride. It was lovely to get out on the bike again and my back is extremely good this morning, perhaps the exercise did it good?

So I’m just having a bit of lunch and then I’ll be working this afternoon.

Take care of everyone
