Good Morning Monday 4th May 2026

Good morning and I’m surprised not to see the sun. It’s dreary and we did have a downpour last evening.

It’s our twin gs’s 20th birthday today. Goodness , those two decades have flown by. Lovely chaps . Tiny babies grown into handsome men. 👬. May the 4th be with them!

Gm thoughts and memories of your lovely boy will get you through the day 🙏.

Marzipan I love to see your patio. That echium peeking in, is amazing.

Baubles what a lovely thought! A rose to remember him! 🌹.

Housework today and start a new book.

Have a gentle day 🌺

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s a lovely sunny start to the day
Your cruise sounds lovely Ash
No special plans for today but I think we’ll go for a walk somewhere this morning, enjoy a coffee out and then do some gardening this afternoon. This evening I’m out to a dance class so looking forward to that too

Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from a grey Cambridgeshire

We have a quiet day planned today just doing a few jobs around the home and garden. We had a lovely BBQ with DD2 and family yesterday and although not warm enough to eat out my dgs2 enjoyed playing in the garden.

Hoping everyone has a good BH Monday 🌷

Good morning from a brightening blue Suffolk sky. I was hoping for rain yesterday but nothing since a drizzle overnight on Saturday. It will be the hose I suspect this evening.

A quiet day at home today,the only thing we have to do is to deliver DGD3 to the railway station mid afternoon so she can be collected from Ipswich station by the family who will have returned from their weekend away before then.

We don’t usually venture out on bank holidays as everywhere along the coast here gets extremely busy and we can go out and about at quieter times.

I hope today is a good one for all especially for those reflecting on sad past events and those unwell.

Good morning from an overcast Wiltshire. Woke up when a bomber flew overhead at 1:15am. There have been so many in the last 3 days.

After several days extracting Spring bulbs from pots and planting summer tubers I ache all over. I hope it’s worth it.

DD2 and family returned to the UK at 6 am yesterday. They were very tired so we didn’t see them. We cooked an array of Indian dishes (Madhur Jaffrey) for dinner yesterday. Our house will smell like a takeaway for days.

GM💐on a poignant day for you. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from an overcast, dry Durham. I’m taking Little Dog back to DD2 this morning, then we have nail appointments later. In between I must finish packing, as it’s an early start tomorrow.

💐gM and those in need of them.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning everyone from an overcast and dull Northampton, very grey outside. No plans for today, another day indoors; will tackle the study, decluttering.

Gave the dining room a good sort out yesterday, dust removal, and went through a large pile of piano music; kept some and will take the rest to the charity shop. I cannot believe I still have my books of exam pieces from when I did Grades 5, 6 and 7 back in the sixties! I shall be keeping those, and may even try playing them again. I had been searching on Amazon for an arrangement of 'Jesu, joy of Man's desiring', imagine my surprise when I came across one in my pile of music!

Was contacted by Evri yesterday regarding my uncollected package; it should now be picked up on Wednesday. We shall see....

Easy dinner tonight, and one of my favourites - ham egg and chips, using left over ham from yesterday's gammon joint. Probably a ham sandwich for lunch as well!

Wishing all a pleasant May the Fourth - it's Star Wars Day!🚀🛰

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s dry and we have complete cloud cover. Our Yorkshire Lass and her husband stayed a second night. They’re still in bed. 😁
Home today (natch) they have work tomorrow!

I’ve no real plans but must nip down to the larder in the square my fridge is completely bare except for milk and a box of white wine. I did manage to cobble a breakfast yesterday - toast, scrambled eggs, baked tomatoes and fried up some halloumi - but when they eventually surface it will have to be brunch out!

Still no Madeleine?

Still no Madeleine?

I have a feeling something has happened to Madeleine - I wonder if her son has read her emails/pm's from grandsnetters ? She was feeling very ill when she last posted. I do miss her lovely posts.

Nooo!
My mistake sorry - it was the end of March! Goodness only know why I thought it was a recent post! 😵‍💫

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

MrB and I have enjoyed our favourite walk around the dock and woodland path. I don’t think the sunshine will last long so I’m glad we were able to enjoy it. The Steam Railway Museum is operating again today and we caught a glimpse of today’s loco steaming up in preparation. No plans for this afternoon other than relaxing.

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

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

I'm normally a reader not a poster but has any one contacted the moderators to see if they can do a health check on Madeline?
