Good Morning Saturday 28th March 2026

Good morning Mick and all from a breezy Morecambe Bay where it’s likely to stay dry but quite cold.
Yesterday, on the way to the woods, I realised it was the last Friday of the month, and that a friend and I had provisionally arranged to go out for lunch. I hastily mentally changed my plans and sent her a text asking did she still want to meet. She quickly replied she was so busy and could we leave it till next week.
How did we ever find time to work full time?
Today DH will take Crazy dog for a long walk giving me an empty.
An hour or so in the garden then I think I may open the lovely set of watercolour paints I received at Christmas, and read and practise chapter one of the accompanying book “ Teach yourself watercolour” I’ll not post my efforts don’t worry!
Take care everyone.

Good Morning all from a sunny, cold (0 degrees) central south coast.

Just checked flight tracker for DD and her partner and they are mid-Atlantic en route to Madrid before getting a flight to London from there. I always use flight tracker to see my chicks back from their various long distance travels. Hope their Ecuador adventure has gone well with no mishaps.

Thanks for all the encouragement re an automatic car yesterday. We are still undecided and need more debate. It is counter productive to try and hurry DH - he is a very careful and thoughtful maker of decisions and always tells me I am too impulsive so he needs to be. He often comes to my point of view though!

Must remember to move the clocks on an hour tonight. It seems only a few minutes since we put them back! I always think what a huge investment of time is involved, twice a year throughout the country with this exercise. Wonder what the estimated cost is?

Always thinking of our strugglers and hoping the day brings some relief, ease and comfort for all.

Greyduster, sorry you are in pain this morning, hope it wears off as you get going. Hope you can catch up with a bit of sleep too

Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay.

Last night, we attended the launch of the new season of plays for Toads. It runs from 1st July - 30th June. Each director gave a short speech outlining their vision for their chosen play. The bar staff were kept busy as drinks were half price!

GillyMo: Mention of Minehead brings back memories of my first holiday with girlfriends when I was 17. We stayed at Butlin's and it was the talk of the Sixth Form on our return!

Wishing you all a happy weekend and safe journeys to travellers. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning from Sheffield

I had my shingles vaccination yesterday, I was a bit trepidatious as I had heard some cautious tales as to side effects.
When I got to the surgery, the nurse asked me if I would like my pneumonia vaccine at the same time so I thought well what the heck let’s do it.
I’ll take anything I’m offered by the NHS.
I was concerned I would feel rubbish this morning but actually apart from a bit of a sore arm, I feel ok.

I am waiting for the delivery of the lively Cockerpoo. We are dog sitting for our son overnight.
We will take him for a walk later and that’s about the end of excitement for today.

I had left it blank because I didn’t know how I would feel after my vaccinations. DH is still recovering from his cold so we will hunker down and take it easy today.

Take care everyone

Good morning from south Glos, it’s a chilly, bright start here.
I didn’t sleep well at all so feeling a bit meh, the sunshine will perk me up I’m sure.
I spent most of yesterday doing a slow stitch embroidery, I’m quite pleased with how it’s looking at the moment.
It did cross my mind that I might need to do something about my huge stash of art and needlework materials if things start going downhill….. but not today 😊
I don’t have anything planned for the weekend, Tuesday’s appointment is looming over me, so I will just bob along and see what happens.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend, clocks go forward tonight!

Good Morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is bright and very breezy. Rather cold too.

I had a broken night, and both my hips are very painful this morning. Hope once I get up and get moving they will improve. I went to the gym yesterday morning and managed to walk to school and back in the afternoon as the weather picked up.

No idea what is on the cards today except a trip to Aldi before it gets busy. I don’t expect to see the family this weekend so no major cooking but I might make a date and walnut cake - before I eat all the dates!!

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from a sunny but cool Kent.

Yesterday was a very relaxing reading day. Today I am travelling to Minehead for a short stay.

Wishing all a wonderful weekend.

Good morning from s somerset, sunny, windy and cool today

A good washing day and I have just loaded the washing machine, it is very full of bedding and towels. Next task is to bottom my bedroom and clean my en suite plus make my bed with fresh linens.

I am so ready for the time change, my body lives in the summer circadian rhythm all year round and my mind has no say on that. Early to rise and early to bed, that is me

I am thinking I will be able to finish the ballast bags and they will all be filled by teatime. The shed looks very stable, I popped up to see yesterday and brought some old filled cotton bags home, more heavy lifting and walking so I had my exercise that way. I will be glad to clear my dining table this evening but first the tlc for the old machine, she has had a rough time for a few days

Wood hardener and a cheap roller kit are arriving today, I will pick a nice quiet sunny day for that inside job on my shed roof and will call into cs today to get myself an oversized shirt to cover me. I was splattered all over last time I did the shed. This time it will be shirt, old trousers, shower cap and safety glasses plus long rubber gloves and I think old steps will give me enough height

Soup-making shortly, a good veg and bean soup to last a few days

Good morning from Malta where another unsettled day of showers is forecast with a high of 16°C.

It was sunny after the rain yesterday but oh that wind.! I came straight home after the hairdresser as wind scares me. You never know what might fly into you. We once had the lid from somebody’s water tank land on our front steps. Had anyone been standing there it could have been very nasty.

I sat up until 2am watching the tennis semi finals so I’m tired this morning but need to get my act together as I’m having the boys.

DD3 has floated off abroad with her teacher colleague leaving her DH and I holding the fort. I don’t blame her really, she works so hard and needs to de-stress.

On her return, they are taking the boys to Bologna for a family holiday. A dinosaur park is on the cards so I know one little boy who is going to be very happy indeed! I’ll be home looking after Milo dog and their canary!

Thinking of you all and wishing you a good day.

Good morning from Bristol. Winter has returned, with frost, cold winds and rain 🌧️
I had a quiet day yesterday. I did walk to my last Spanish class before the Easter holiday; it wasn’t raining at that time.
My afternoon was filled with household chores, dinner had already been made and needed only reheating.
Today, after the church coffee and chat, will consist of sewing up bunting; the vicar wants what feels like 100m to go round the church. It has been prepared in 3m bits, wound round a piece of card to keep untangled. How long that will last, who knows?
Keep safe, be happy, be gentle with yourselves today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩
