Good Morning Thursday 7th May 2026

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 7°with hazy sunshine. Rain is forecast later.
Yesterday was a fairly lazy day. I did a couple of washes and got them hung out then the dishwasher was emptied and loaded again but that was all really.
I had a spectacularly bad night's sleep last night with various pains. However I'm up early. I have an early hair cut. This afternoon I'm going to a friend's house with my usual Saturday pal who I will pick up and take back. A couple of hours of nonsense will take my mind of my aches. Have a good day all.

Good morning from s Somerset, fairly cool today and cloudy

I am having less time on my laptop, my eyes are reaping the benefits, hence me posting less frequently. I am saving my close vision for my hobbies

Much has been done during the past few days, gardening, allotment, cycling, chatting and de-cluttering. I have made great strides with clearing stuff and have also assembled and tested a big new outdoor umbrella, plus I found I could still, to my delight, manage to carry 20 kg sand bags

Several of you are in my thoughts, I think you know that

Good morning from Malta where it’s cloudy at present. The high is forecast to be 24°C.

Yesterday morning I leapt out of bed at 7am as someone was ringing my doorbell. It was one of the workmen who had come to tarmac the road and needed me to move my car!

I must say they worked hard all day, only finishing just before 10pm . I haven’t looked yet to see if it’s all done, but my front steps are covered in dust from the works so I shall have to clean them when I get up.

Had my hair done, always glad to get the roots covered up. My hairdresser was very sweet about my forgetting last week’s appointment and refused to let me pay her for it. I felt I ought to since it was my fault and she could have fitted another customer in.

Had a long chat on FaceTime with DD2 in Tennessee. She and DGD had been to the Opry and had enjoyed the singers. I love country music and wished I could have gone. Maybe I’ll get there one day.

Nothing much on today, just cleaning and pottering about. There is tennis from Rome so I might watch a bit of that later.

The premium bonds kindly gave me £275 this month so I was pleased with that. Every little helps!

So sorry you’ve had such an awful night Grandmabatty. Hope you have a good time with your friend.

Wishing a good day to you all, thoughts always with the mountaineers.💐☀️💐

Good morning from a grey Bristol. Clouds but sadly no rain; those poor farmers.
The FAB cafe went well enough but only about 60 people turned up. The group was really excellent, really engaging with the audience. I thought they were better than a previous, more popular group. We had the usual demanding people, wanting stuff that a cafe would have, forgetting that all we are is a small servery wit( just volunteers (in this case, just one - me). I had tone patient and polite 🤬
The afternoon was spent washing and ironing small tablecloths that had been put away dirty! Most are linen with crochet lace all round, a pig to iron but, at least, now they are clean.
I was wiped out and did little for the rest of the day.
Much to-img and fro-ing re.outside painting; the scaffolding is still going up and no paint applied yet. This will be done in stages, so it seems that the painters will still be here in the autumn! Oh, goody!
Today, the usual t’ai chi, an£ dinner at DD’s.
May your day b3 peaceful. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a very overcast Black Country.

A pleasant day yesterday, after going to Mums to sort her tablets out, had a message from a friend asking if I would like to meet for coffee in the cafe in the park, that afternoon. It was lovely sitting outside in the sun albeit intermittent.

Said friend is a bit down after a fall in which she broke her right wrist in 2 places, and also hurt an eye.

Walking group walk today, no rain is forecast/

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning from Stockport.
It was so good to wake up in my own bed this morning.
I had a lovely time away but oh, it was so tiring, I am going to have to accept that my being away days are coming to an end.
We were so lucky with the weather, not a spot of rain and lots of sun which wasn’t forecast before we went.
Nowhere was busy really which surprised me, I suppose it is early still in the tourist season.

I shall have a very lazy day today, for those of you for whom a lazy day is forced on you by circumstances, I shall think of you but it seems for most of the Good morning regulars being extra busy day after day is just normal.
I envy you your “get up and go”

Good morning from an overcast S E Essex, I think we have intermittent showers forecast.

We have a man coming to adjust the stable door in the kitchen first thing. It has decided that the top does not want to be separated from the bottom 🤷‍♀️

I also have a manicure and pedicure booked, o I will catch up with the local news (gossip).

The 11yr old is here for here his weekly sleepover. I have purchased a chicken in a bag from M & S, which is rotisserie style . I have to throw it in the oven for hour 45 minutes, and hey presto when the bag is opened it should reveal a moist tasty bird. Never tried this before, but I am taking lessons from our #lazygran…

(((Hugs))) to all in need 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from South Lanarkshire why the sun is trying to break through the clouds.

Yesterday’s trip to the shops was fairly successful. I returned two tops to M&S and found another one there which, having tried on at home, I’ve decided to keep. DH also bought a pair of shorts which are actually not khaki coloured, a welcome change.

We drove from there to the Clyde Valley garden centres where we loaded the boot with plants for the hanging baskets. I’ll look forward to seeing them bloom.

Childminding today, so a busy afternoon ahead.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Morning all from a bright North Leicestershire.

I am helping at a Memory Cafe this morning having helped on an online Carer course last night. Before that we had put the new garden furniture together. It came with an umbrella but we have decided that a grey umbrella is not the most cheerful and have ordered a new one.

Have the best possible everyone.
