Good Morning Thursday 2nd April 2026

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry and sunny. No rain is forecast so I think I’ll put the bedding in to wash. I feel a bit fragile this morning. Payback for one glass of wine too many last night - a large wine is actually a third of a glass so no wonder.

Fortunately there are no calls on my time so I can gather myself as the day progresses. Lesson learnt.

The hospital where I used to work apparently holds an NHS Fellowship drop in the first Thursday afternoon of each month. I might walk over (30 minutes - do me good physically) and see ex colleagues (hopefully ditto, emotionally). Those who know me will ask after Himself. I’ll decide later.

Duh.

Good morning from another grey day on the Essex coast.
Yesterday I left DH at the hospital at 12 and picked him up at 19.00.
He came home, had a cup of tea and went to bed. He was in a lot of pain.
He's still in bed/asleep now.
I'll see how he is when he finally wakes up.
I have no plans to do anything today.
Take care everyone, best wishes to all xx

Good Morning from Durham. Not a cloud in the sky, but it’s a very cold start. It’s 34 years today since my DM died, she was only 68 and I think she, I and the DDs missed out on so much.
Got my car back, but have to pop along and pay for it - less than £300, so I’m quite relieved.
I’ve an empty - having been so careful not driving far, I feel as if I should get out somewhere, especially as the schools break-up today.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from a brightening Suffolk. I have my stretch class in just over an hour and shall callin at the surgery to collect a prescription. I had forgotten to order my repeat but the ladies in the dispensary are always so helpful when this happens.

For unknown reasons several of the lanes around here are closed and the one to us is open “for access only”. No sign of anyone working yesterday when the signs appeared and no indication as to when they will reopen.

It occurred to me when I woke in the middle of the night that the van delivering our weekly grocery order on Saturday afternoon may well not be able to reach us!

Hope today is a good one for all.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton; will put some washing on later.

Very little in my plans for today; a Sainsbury's delivery late morning, and book a meal at Prezzo for a friend and me; I was.given a voucher at Christmas for a three course meal for two including prosecco. As we both have a birthday the same week this month it will do very nicely!

A pleasant visit to the hairdresser yesterday; it's nice to sit and be pampered for a couple of hours.

Bellasnana when we lived in Cyprus, we.too had a gas heater for the winter months as it could be quite chilly indoors, especially early mornings and the evenings; it was on wheels so could be moved to where we needed it. Some mornings I even used to light the gas oven and leave the door open to warm our huge north facing kitchen!

Wishing all a pleasant Thursday.

Good morning from a brightish Leicestershire.

I didn’t sleep a wink last night family worries and the world situation put paid to any rest.

Today we are having coffee with friends and will sort the world out ( if only we could). We may have to contend with closed car parks and lack of fuel!

This afternoon I will get my hair cut.
May everyone have the best day possible.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey cloud but it’s still very cold at just about 1°
Good to hear your goddaughter is ok after her accident cornergran
I’ve a quieter day today, nothing much planned but I’ve lots of jobs to keep me busy. I was hoping to potter in the garden but it still feels too too cold. I think we might go out for a short walk somewhere if it stays dry but will see
Safe travels to everyone out and about today and hoping everyone having a few days away has a lovely time
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

A late good morning from a brightening S E Essex.

New furniture is arriving between 4.20 and 5.10pm, well we will see…

I need to go food shopping and as it’s just us this Easter I will pop into M & S Food Hall.

Love that coat Melanie

Hope your DH is feeling less discomfort and pain when he wakes Sar53

(((Hugs))) to all 🙋‍♀️

Good morning all and the weather is ok here in Essex.

Yesterday was busy. DDil took me shopping to a newish Sainsbury about 20 minutes away. She prefers in to our local one and it was quite impressive. Spacious, clean , large carpark with petrol station , with hardly anyone there. I’ll go with her again.

We were later picked up by our wonderful friend and taken to the dentist for DH’s first appointment to the day. Last year he had a rather traumatic tooth extraction (only got half out) , came home and had a stroke.
The Dentist yesterday was smiley, friendly and compassionate,
so he’s booked in for another appointment.

Our friend then picked us up and dropped me off at a mutual friend, picked up her husband who has very advanced Parkinsons, and the three men went out for lunch. How he managed the two disabled chaps I don’t know. He’s a marvel! 🌟.

Today I was due to have my ‘second opinion ‘test at a different optician but I’ve had to cancel as DH’s hearing aids need fixing and I must take them into town. My appointment now is next Tuesday. Goodness me, my mind is addled!

Sar I hope your Dh feels better today.
cornergran keep your chin up.💐
Have a lovely weekend with your family Roses.

Take care all 🌺

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

Yesterday was not a great day, I didn't even go to the school pick for Dollie, I felt really out of sorts and knew, I wouldn't be able to manage the hill.

It didn't help, that I received an unsigned, one line email, from the parishioner, on whom I spent hours accommodating on Monday. She told me could no longer read at our Good Friday service.
I was raging at her rudeness, no reason, no apologies for wasting my time, leaving us in the lurch and epecially, harassing me with emails, especially late at night.
Also someone needs to teach her the etiquette of sending an email. Hers are downright rude.

Today, we have Babydoll, We will do our usual visit, to the café, library, pharmacy (where she will charm the assistants) and CAB. We are having a Golf Day out fundraiser, but the sign up sheet has gone AWOL. No-one knows, where it has gone, so we don't know, who has signed up. The organiser is leaving a replacement in the CAB offices for me to pick up.

GM, the vicar should be looking after you and organising transport! Our older parishioners, who are helpers, are rarely left to walk.

Mass tonight, I am sacristan, so it will be a long day.

I wish you all a pleasant day, loves to Roses.

Good morning everyone,

It’s a beautiful day, bright sunny morning here, but very chilly. I suspect it was frosty earlier. Still, this blue sky and sunshine is much more preferable to the sullen grey skies of yesterday.

To all with troubles, I send kind thoughts.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

I overslept!

Today I’ll finish off the Simnel cake with quite a lot of marzipan, which I love!

Our daughter gave us a voucher for Christmas for a rather nice restaurant just outside Oxford, so that’s where we are going today for lunch.

Thinking of some of you who are troubled.

Have a good day.

Well done fgt. I saw that but wasn’t sure what to do 😀.

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
Yesterday was spent sorting out my wardrobe and filling bags for the charity shop. Also practising new songs.

I decided some exercise was in order so put my usual run of favourite pop songs on and threw myself around the sitting room until enough was enough.
This afternoon to the dreaded dentist to see to my chipped tooth. I hope it’s a straightforward procedure.

I forgot to mention Grandmattie how much I liked your green quilt. A real 1930s’ vibe.
Thoughts to Roses and all🌺

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire. It’s a beautiful day here.

MrB and I have enjoyed a walk down to the river. Always a challenge for the triwalker as it involves steps and a steep hill, but the view is worth it.

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

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing.
