Good Morning Saturday 25th April 2026

Good morning from beautiful s somerset, cold nights and warm sunny days, what`s not to like

*Rosesandlilac its in your username, how much you like nature and flowers, they calm and they keep you grounded. You are so aware of the beautiful things in your life, they heal more than you know

Yesterday was utterly glorious and busy but also relaxing. I decided to do the whole weeks washing and that resulted in me bottoming my bedroom, moving furniture, doing skirtings.

Finally, six good items of clothing, packed them and carried them to the salvation army bank, which was empty

My lafuma is out of the garage, I am glad I bought a padded comfortable one, two years ago and I have a storage bag on one side and a tray on the other side which is always horizontal, it has a section to keep my drink safe. The sun was so strong and my pram umbrella was useless so I have ordered a recliner sunshade. I need to keep the sun off my face and certainly out of my eyes. I had several sessions outside, lying back and reading, with cold watermelon for my mid morning break. It was bliss yesterday

I did order 6 more beautiful bright cranesbill plants, the ones I have are beautiful pops of colour in my fairy glen sedum garden. I have a few spaces that need these pops. No grass in my garden, just mounds of ground cover

I anticipate a good day today, trainers and slippers are in the washing machine and any food is prepped and easy. I will be out for a town walk at nine and will generally be on and off the lafuma until 2 when the sun moves off the nearest patio. Must take advantage of this week, this early summer

Good morning from Sheffield

It’s going to be another beautiful day, you can nearly see the garden growing

A busy weekend ahead with Grandson duties.
We have the two youngest grandsons overnight. It is their daddy’s 40th so he and my daughter are going away for a night

We also have the gorgeous cockapoo, he is from a different branch of the family

I think the plan will be a skate park and walk this afternoon. Hopefully this will tire everyone out, and they will all sleep tonight

I’m just enjoying tib before mayhem ensues

Take care everyone

Good morning from Shropshire.A chilly start but another sunny day forecast.

Yesterday we carried on with sorting the garage.Two full car loads to the tip.Its starting to look dry clear and organised 😅

Today I am going to visit mum with my daughters and grandchildren.My daughters are her favourite people in the world so hopefully it will be a good visit🙏🏻DH and I are out tonight so a busy day.

I am hoping madeleine is alright too.As another poster mentioned she had planned a holiday so I am really hopingshe is away and that is why she isn’t posting 🙏🏻

I am sorry/furious that you still haven’t heard from the hospital Roses.Its just awful.

Wishing everyone the best day possible🦩🌷

Good morning, it’s another beautiful morning in South Lanarkshire. I could get used to this.

After my nail appointment yesterday DH and I took a run down to the Clyde Valley to have a wander around some of the garden centres. We enjoyed tea and scones in the newest one and bought a couple of plants.

Today is DS’s middle child’s sixth birthday and we’re going over to Edinburgh for the first time since DH’s knee replacement surgery seven weeks ago.

Roses, I’m so sorry that you’re having to wait so long to be seen, it’s cruel.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is just getting into its stride here and it’s going to be warm again.

Yesterday it was hot and after walking to school and back and then down to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription I didn’t want to be outside so the lawn didn’t get cut. That will be a job for later today. DS phoned very late for a chat. They are going away on Sunday for a couple of weeks and will be away for his birthday.

Today, after a quick shop at Aldi, will be a gardening day. I also have some shepherds pie base to make and a batch of Bolognese sauce for the freezer.

Have the best day you can folks.

Good morning from Malta where you can hear a pin drop it’s so quiet. A sunny day is forecast with a high of 25°C.

Had my weekly hairdo yesterday then I went to look after the boys at their home as they were both fast sleep after school.

DGS1 woke first so I had the pleasure of his company for a while before trying to wake DGS2. He was very sleepy and cuddly but my instructions were not to let him sleep past 4.30!

I had the most ecstatic welcome from Milo dog who had been to the groomer! He looks funny when he has been shaved, poor fellow!

Nothing much planned for today other than some cleaning and laundry.

There’s tennis from Madrid but nobody I’m interested in is playing. Alcaraz is injured and will miss the rest of the clay season so I expect Sinner will be adding points to keep his No.1 status.

RosesandLilac I’m so sorry you are being kept waiting like this. It’s appalling to be honest. You are being so courageous in getting on with life but it must feel as though you are carrying a huge weight around with you.😞💐

It’s now over a week since we heard from madeleine. It’s very concerning.

Hope you all have some joy in your day.☀️

Good morning, it’s chilly here in south Glos but another lovely sunny day forecast.
I started cleaning the inside of my windows yesterday, only managed the front window in the living room and patio doors before too breathless, it really is ridiculous how little I can do at the moment. I will carry on this morning, my Shed windows need doing too.
My lovely gardener came so it’s looking beautiful at the moment, I think I get most pleasure from my garden so that’s my priority for getting help.
Tiddler and I spent a few hours in the shed, I did my embroidery while she laid in the sun, snoring. She’s my little shadow, bigger dog prefers being flat out on the patio or the sofa 🙄
Still no word from the hospital re the PET CT results, apparently there’s a backlog on reporting and it could be 3-4 weeks. I’m becoming resigned to whatever happens 🤷🏼‍♀️, I never imagined I’d still be waiting to see an oncologist over 2 months after the urgent referral. It’s ridiculous. I have looked at going private but I can’t afford to do so for treatment so that’s just throws you back into the system.
Anyway, the sun’s going to shine today, I’m going to sit in the garden and enjoy it while embroidering and listening to a podcast. There’s washing to get done and I will clean the kitchen and Shed windows first.
Wishing you all a lovely day x

Good morning from Bristol. Another lovely day is forecast. The dawn chorus is in full swing - but - it’s a rather chilly 4C atm…
Yesterday threw me a surprise lunch with DD here. The family gave me a smart speaker for my birthday, but it had not been fully set up. So she came to lunch (Friday is her day off) to finish it off. It wasn’t entirely successful as for some reason, she told it to tell me that it was time for bed - as an example of what it could do. She thought she’d cancelled it. Ha! Imagine my surprise and amusement when I was packed off to bed at 9 pm!
In the afternoon, I helped set up the clothes swap/sale in church today. An interesting assortment of things.
Today, I have the first COVID jab of the year. I normally feel unwell for a couple of days, but from what I have heard, this one is fairly vicious.
The clothes swap is part of the church’s eco fair. I’ll be there for a good couple of hours this afternoon. Fairly tiring.
Have a good weekend all. May your road be flat and smooth. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
