Good Morning Sunday 19th April 2026

Good morning from a sunny Suffolk where we enjoyed a glorious day yesterday. Today is forecast to be the same. The apple trees are in full blossom which seems to have happened almost overnight and many of the rose bushes are in bud.

I can’t remember these things happening so early in spring before( but of course it could be my memory at fault).

I think we are planning a visit to the local garden centre as I want to get a couple of roses to plant. I think it is still just about ok to plant bare rooted ones.

I did a spot of gardening yesterday and realised that we need help in keeping the flower beds and borders in trim. We have a wonderful gardener who cuts the grass and manages the hedges but I think we’ll need to ask him to do a bit more if he has time. He has been with us for over 30 years and is now,understandably,cutting down how many hours he works.

Hopefully he’ll be able to help but if not,one of our lovely young women who clean for us is a keen gardener so I’m sure she’ll be able to help.

DH continues to keep wearing his hearing aids and said yesterday that it was easier than the previous 2 days. Well done you I said!

Hope today is a good one for all and thinking about those who most need that.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. Sun is shining but since I have turned off the heating, I am sitting in the sunniest spot as it's not warm.

Thanks for your condolences on the sudden death of DBiL.

I'm going on a walk this morning and see how the day goes.

I found the Maggie's Centre adjacent to the cancer unit a resource for comfort and information when DH was undergoing treatment Rosesandlilac .
I hope there is something like it where you are.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a very sunny N Surrey. Wall to wall blue sky.
I will cut the bumpy tussocky grass today even if I only manage half and finish the rest in the week.

Good morning all, from a sunny Glasgow. Lost my post, probably just as well.

Life continues to be problematic and exhausting.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Good morning and it’s sunny and bright . We haven’t had rain for ages here in Essex, so the ground is very dry. We had lunch in the garden which was very warm and the washing dried nicely.

Yesterday ds1 (whirlwind) came to do an hours gardening in our tiny plot. I kept thinking about your lovely patio Marzipan and would love to make mine more interesting. Any ideas or tips please. ? I hope your breathing improves. 🙏.

This afternoon I’m going to a local community hall for a talk on the Titanic, with my old neighbour/good friend. When we bought the tickets I said to the chap ‘I expect we know all about it’ .
‘Ah but not the Essex and Rayleigh connection!’ . He replied, tapping his nose. 😂. We were issued with passes which read Boarding at 1.15. Sailing at 2.00.

Dd offered to come and sit in with dh, but he’s adamant he’ll be fine. .
The hall is next to Rayleigh Mount which is a little oasis of beauty and calm, so we’ll have a wander over there to see the bluebells and wildflowers all bursting into life.

I cooked a gammon and veg dinner in the slow cooker yesterday but we didn’t fancy it last evening so we’ll have it today.

Take care all and have a lovely day. 🌺

A sunny good morning from Co Armagh
Washing is thrashing away in the machine , I hope to get another load in before I head to Mass , where I’ll remember all our poorly friends and their carers ,
Yesterday was busy moving seedlings to the greenhouse from windowsills , some are a bit to leggy and might have to be scrapped , hope I’ve more seeds

Good morning from a bright and sunny Stockport, however it is still chilly here.

Yesterday was a decent day, I got clothes sorted and bagged for a charity drop off.
Some spare pillows bagged for the loft and a quite large bag of rubbish ready for the tip.
One large double fitted wardrobe cleared, three to go.
We had these wardrobes fitted by Sharps many years ago and I hated them from day one but they hold so much apart from clothes that I put up with them.

This evening my GD, her BF and I are going out for a Sunday roast with friends, a nice change and I am looking forward to it.
Kindest thoughts to the sad and unwell, I hope you find some small joy in your day.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny corner of Somerset.

Yesterday was super. The Eden Project was wonderful and blessedly uncrowded. Our coach staff superb, a smooth drive and as many hot drinks as we wanted brought to our seats. We were very well cared for. An easily pleased soul I enjoy looking out from coaches, whether at towns or countryside as much more can be seen than from a car. Mr C says I’m just nosey!

Can’t decide if I’ve hay fever or the beginning of a cold. Either way it’s just sniffly at the moment. Other than ferrying Mr C for his jabs this afternoon there are no plans for today.

I’ll go back and read your messages now. Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning from Shropshire.A sunny day forecast.

We enjoyed a day at home yesterday.House is ship shape, just how I like it and laundry up to date.Another quiet day today I hope🤞🏻DD messaged at 8 to see if I wanted to go to Cheshire Oaks but I would need to set off straight away as she needed to pick H up from an overnight camp at 9.As I was still in bed and it is a half hours drive to their house I had to say no.I said to DH I feel old having to say I couldn’t make it in time but he pointed out even in my prime I couldn’t have made it😂

Marzipan I hadn’t heard of that film but am reading Poirot and me by David Suchet.It was the last film he was in before he began his Poirot journey.He spent ten weeks on Bryher filming and while there studied Agatha Christie’s books so he could make his Poirot as near to how she had portrayed him.

Jax, I have heard from Pantglas.She is ok and will be back when she can.

Marydoll I hope things improve for you very soon💐

Thinking of all with worries and struggles and wishing everyone the best day possible🌷🦩

Good morning all from a bright and sunny North Leicestershire.

DH and DS1 are going to the football (where they get a meal) so I only have myself to think about. I think I will sweep the patio - it makes the whole garden look so much better when it's done.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a bright east coast.
We have no real plans for today. We’ll have breakfast of avocado soon and take it from there. I would like a walk in the sunshine.
DH said he was going to go through his clothes for packing and see if there is anything he needs. My outfits have been planned and bought for weeks. I keep throwing things in a pile as I remember them. DH will probably realise he needs more pants the night before we leave. He’s always last minute so it’s good he’s in the planning a week before we go.

Wishing a lovely day for everyone and thoughts to virtual friends struggling with stress and sadness 🌼

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s a beautiful sunny start to the day. Perfect weather for the Manchester marathon!

Li’l Miss will be here in 15 minutes as mum and dad would like to was the Boy Wonder’s Sunday team play in their Cup Final match.

Yorkshire Lass has just left after staying with me overnight it was good to spend time with her we don’t often get the opportunity she works full time and they have busy weekends.

Good morning from a now clouding over northwest coast after a night of vivid dreams. A quiet day yesterday and the same today as there have been a couple of cancellations.
Found myself nostalgically going through photos yesterday as I was looking for a photo of the DC to put in my purse. As you will know, when you start looking at photos….

Thoughts to RosesandLilac and all🌺

Good morning from a sunny but chilly Wiltshire.

Yesterday morning we went to watch DGS2 play football. It was very cold. He is quite big compared to his friends and certainly compared with his sister who is small for her age. In the afternoon we spent a few hours at DD2’s and her family. We live in an elevated area where it is often very breezy but their garden is very sheltered and I couldn’t believe how warm it was there. They have some new garden seating which is lovely. Her DH also sat down (his parents and brother were there too).. He never seems to stop working. Inside renovations are going well. We gave DGS2 his birthday presents (he will be 5 on Tuesday). They are going to Longleat for the day today.

I’m glad you went to the restaurant at Bowood with your daughter for lunch BlueSapphire. I’ve never been there myself. DD2 considered it as a wedding venue but she and her DH had been to so many other weddings there they decided against it. Your visit to see your sister sounded very sad for you.

Condolences to Granmaretto. 🥀

Wishing everyone a good Sunday.

Thank you Susan56.

Am awaiting a Tesco delivery, due between 9.00and 10.00 am so can’t settle to anything until that happens - now 15 minutes late, which is unusual. Local History society event this afternoon so not such a blank day as so often on a Sunday, and the sun is shining so a good day in prospect.

I really hope Madeleine is ok.

Me too Grandmabatty 🙏🏻just popped back to see if she had posted.

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

MrB and I have enjoyed a walk around the Dock in the sunshine. I am struggling at the moment so this has done me a lot of good. My hands are very sore and I am unable to do any craft, sewing, drawing or jewellery making. I’m listening to a lot of audiobooks

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

Wishing you a good day whatever you’re doing. 🌹

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, but it feels quite chilly.

Spent yesterday afternoon at rugby matches, Navy v RAF, two matches, women and men. I'm afraid I left before the end of the second match (something I never do usually), as I was so cold! Decided to go straight home and not bother with the shops. Found a home-made venison casserole in the freezer which I enjoyed for dinner.

My plan is to go to the shops today, and have a good mooch around. May have coffee and cake out in Costa.
Then an afternoon in catching up with the weekend papers. No idea what to have for dinner.

Wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

I watched the matches on YouTube Bluesapphire, much warmer.

DGS1 was a drummer in the Air Cadet band and DS works with some of the Navy players.

I don’t know how you feel about out supplements? Since Istopped my be pills I,ve been taking 24 month aged garlic my blood even on ramipril was often 160 or 170/ 95 and my heart rate over 100
This morning with no meds just the garlic it’s 121/67
You could ask your Gp if your OH can take them with the meds to start with and if they help consider altering the dose or coming off it.
I took ramipril for decades now I,m pill free.
My daughter takes beetroot capsules and says they help bp and palpitations .
Worth a try,if conventional meds aren,t helping
Most important is that you step back from at least some things and take time for you .
Best wishes for better days ahead

Sorry that was forMarydoll
