Good Morning Wednesday 25th March 2026

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast with a high of 18°C.

I haven’t slept too well but will get up soon and attempt to find the motivation to do my 30 minutes of aerobics before going for my monthly nail appointment after which I might pop to Lidl for a few bits.

Wishing a good day to all with special thoughts for those with troubles.☀️

Good morning from South Lanarkshire, more rain forecast for today I believe.

Good for you Bella, exercising at this hour., wish I had the discipline to do that.

I think the spring cleaning bug must have hit our town if the number of donations we had yesterday is anything to go by. We were inundated.

I’ve parcels to collect today, I’ve ordered dresses to try on as we’ve been invited to a wedding and I haven’t dressed up in an age. Hopefully there will be one suitable amongst them.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from s somerset, very windy and cold

The wind battered the windows all through the night and it was raining, the weather can turn on a sixpence. I checked my boiler pressure just now and have raised it a bit, the rads did need a fair bit of bleeding after boiler swap

Busy yesterday, I made 6 inner ballast bags, 100 cm long and 24 cm wide. I sewed a dividing line so I would get equal weights at either end. My microtex needle hated the fabric and eventually shattered. At that point I put my glasses on for safety and tried a universal needle, which worked like a dream. I am now waiting for the cordura fabric to arrive, for outer bags. These weights are destined for my shed roof, to help hold the felt down and I am hoping will be permanent, without anxiety over them bursting

Earlier I made 200 capsules of mag glycinate, a pure compound. A boring job but well worth it, I have a filling device

No plans for today, apart from keeping warm. I need to make a good veg soup and will do some more spinning and my kefir needs to be strained and the grains fed

I am watching the clouds, moving very fast and the birds are going at 100 mph, not actual flying, just moving with the air.

Roses I saw your post, a million hugs from me

Good morning from a grey, dreary Bristol.
I went to bed “late”, so have woken up “late”.
I was at a PCC meeting where we discussed many things, not least the preparation for our vicar’s retirement in October. Also, the very complicated situation of our lack of heating…. I was so wired that it took me ages to settle.
This PCC is amazing, all reports are sent in advance, so everyone knows what we need to know. The meetings tend to be much shorter, about an hour, rather than the endless ones I used to attend in Kent.
FAB cafe this morning, then a residents’ meeting with our temporary manager to find out any progress in things to be fixed. It is one year since we have sent the original complaint letter and there has been very little progress. It beggars belief that we pay so much in maintenance fees yet get so little!
May you all have a good day, all your problems be solved (faster than our!) and metaphorical sunshine ☀️ fill your hearts and homes.
Carpe diem 🦩🌷🦩🦩🦩

My poor*Roses*, what a horrible situation. I know you had a niggling feeling of something like that, but hoped you were wrong. All my liv3 and prayers are winging to you. Big hugs too. 💐🌺🌹🪷🌸

Good morning from Torquay where it's quiet and the sky is clear as you can see. So strange to have so much sky to wake up to when it's usually a canopy of trees! It's lovely to be somewhere different for a change. Today I'll just wander around and may go to the model village that's a short bus ride away. Roses I saw your post in the night, am thinking of you.

Good morning from Sheffield

Roses

I got drenched last night coming back from my volunteering
I never go out without a hat until May, I got a bit carried away with the sunshine and thought I didn’t need one. I was wrong

A working day today. I’m just having tea in bed then up for my walk.

Home made fish cakes for tea . DH is in charge of those

Take care everyone especially those with worries

Thank you so much Karma and Grandmattie, I very much appreciate the support and love from wonderful GNers, it’s truly comforting.

Well, it’s blowing a hoolie here, the rain’s lashing against the windows, a stormy start here on the hillside in south Glos. Tiddler and I will have a soggy walk this morning 😊
I have finished my embroidery, and a second one that’s a piece of slow stitching which I really enjoyed doing.
I have set up the next one, from a kit, so that will keep me occupied today.
After yesterday’s phone call from the lovely doctor I saw in ambulatory care, I am waiting for the clinic appointment to see what happens next. I’m oddly relaxed about it at the moment.
I haven’t told anyone, including DH.
I hope you all have a good day, thinking of those who are struggling and sending love and hugs x

My finished pieces

Good morning from a wet and windy S E Essex. It has been so windy overnight.

Off to the gym this morning, then a few jobs to do in doors.

Roses 💐
I had a busy day yesterday. Hairdresser in the morning then dentist and hygienist after lunch. Back there on Monday for a replacement filling.
Early Sainsbury’s delivery today then no other plans. At least it’s not raining today.
Have a good day ladies.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 3° and dry but cold. Roses what devastating news for you. I'm so sorry. 💐
Yesterday was a quiet day. The boys were good. I managed to catch the fish van and had lemon sole and chips made in the air fryer. I went to bed very early and had two really good stretches of sleep.
Today I must get to the charity shop with two bags of stuff. Baubles we're only allowed to hand over 2 bags at a time. I'll do a bit of tidying in the school library. Apparently I was being praised to a school visitor yesterday. Once back home, I'll potter. I might venture into the garden for a bit, depending on how cold it is. Have a good day all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where the sun is up, but it’s going to be a mixed day. The wind was shocking yesterday - on the way home from school I drove round a corner and narrowly managed to avoid a large tree branch lying across my lane. It hadn’t been there on the way in. I had a message from my neighbour in the evening to say that my bin, which I had put out for collection, had blown over and scattered the contents. I never heard it as I was working in the kitchen with the radio on. He had picked them up and put the bin somewhere sheltered. Fortunately it was the bottles and cans bin, and not the paper and card bin!! I thanked him and said he should have knocked and the door and told me. He said he wouldn’t have dreamed of having me come out in it - he could barely stand up in it himself.

Writer group this afternoon at the library and then a trawl round M&S while I’m at the mall.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a calmer Stockport.
Like many we had a rough and noisy night.
At one point I wasn’t sure if it was wind or a rumble of thunder it was so loud.
Roses I send my kindest thoughts and prayers for you as you navigate the coming weeks.

Morning all from a very windy West Oxfordshire. I’m not that far from Fairford and was woken by very noisy planes.

The WI secretary is popping round this morning to go through the data base. I think all the members have now signed the new application form confirming they were born biological women! Most ladies seem rather bemused.

It is the final day of my V&A course on the Renaissance so I will have three lectures to watch. Then this evening a free WI lecture on London’s bridges.

Have a good day everyone especially those of you going through difficult times. 🪻

roses so sorry to hear your news

Good morning from Shropshire.Much calmer today after yesterday’s horrendous weather.Sunshine and showers forecast.

I am going to see mum again today.We always seem to visit when it’s the same shift on.Its a different shift today with mum’s named nurse on so just want to check a couple of things.Nothing major just a couple of niggles.

Roses I am so sorry.Sending you so much love, strength and prayers💐We are all here to support you.x

Wishing e everyone a good day🦩🌻

I am loving the embroideries Roses Maybe one day I will attempt an embroidery, I can see lots of bookmarks for friends and family. Everyone loves a bookmark. First I have to learn

Good morning from a fine, windy Durham. Seems cold though.
Just coffee with a friend this morning, then looking after DGS2 for an hour this evening. I’ve a sore throat and the beginnings of a cold.
💐Roses I hope you get an appt soon to learn what happens next.

Best wishes to all. X

Good Morning all from a bright central south coast. There are big puddles across the road from the heavy rain last night but it looks as if it may be better today. DH is out with his cycling chums so do hope so.

Roses I was so sorry to read your middle of the night post and hope that you find the words to tell your family - especially your DH. Family support is such a comfort and as always support will be readily available on GN.

My visit to my choir friend yesterday went well but I was shocked to see how unwell she looked and how much pain she obviously is still in. There is talk of a shoulder replacement now and she is to have a scan next week to decide. It made me appreciate how much further on the recovery path my arm is and how much more I can do than she can manage. Her DH is even having to assist with her toilet visits as she can't manage her pants. I have never had to cope with. that.

I have choir this evening and hope for a good attendance but I do have misgivings about that. It does not bode well for our being ready to perform the more difficult pieces at the June concert.

Kindest thoughts to all our strugglers with hopes of some ease and comfort today.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. It’s sunny out at the moment but quite windy. A wet and windy night and I could hear things moving about in the garden, so will need to investigate soon.

Chair yoga this morning and a meeting this evening to discuss plans for further development in the village, which has grown massively since we moved here over 40 years ago.

Thinking of all those with worries and hoping the day brings some relief for you.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Roses, I’ve just seen your middle of the night post. 🌹

Good morning all from a wet and very windy south Manchester. Alexa says only 7°C and freezing tonight. I’ve got yoga mid morning and my friend from Chorlton is meeting me in the library. We will have coffee afterwards in Starbucks next door so that’s my whole morning taken care of and this evening I’m being picked up to watch L’il Miss swim at her lesson. Having something to do (but not too much and not every day either) helps steady the Ship of Grief.
