Good Morning Monday 8th June 2026

Good morning from cool dull s somerset, the sun may appear later, I hope so

I hopped from sewing session to sewing session yesterday, it was so good, calm and relaxing. I finished the factory dress, I first made the factory dress 12 years ago, such an easy-wear utility dress, I think this was my 5th make and I now have two in my wardrobe. Cotton/linen blend and blue and white stripes for this one.

My dil would absolutely love my old workhorse overlocker, so she is having it. Ds is taking it back to Aberdeen next week, I spent a bit of time putting all the bits ready yesterday and will pack it all into a small rolling babylock trolley. I had to buy another overlocker a few months ago, self-threading, I need to go with the flow wrt my old eyes and have finally managed to let-go of this excellent old machine, another de-clutter done

I did not want to accidentally nap yesterday evening so started sewing a dress toile, the Aspen dress by Fabric Godmother. I have finished the bodice and will do the skirt today. It looks promising. Very enjoyable to make

I have a parcel to post and an 18th card to send today and really do feel like re-arranging my wardrobe and of course I will be out for a while, if the sun appears

Good morning from what is looking like another grey day here in S E Essex.

DH’s car is being picked up at 6.30am for a service.

I need to trot to the Opticians’s first thing as my glasses broke yesterday, fortunately I have prescription sunglasses which I can wear to drive, along with reading glasses. Then I am off to the gym, also due a phone appointment with my GP sometime between 11-12 regarding my bones (the Dexa scan confirmed that I have now got full blown osteoporosis). I cannot take alondronic acid tablets or calcium supplements (immediately vomit) so I assume it will be infusions 🤷‍♀️

Hope summer returns soon…

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is set to be a very wet day.

Yesterday after starting the day in a low mood I let myself be persuaded by DD to go for a walk to a couple of local gardens. I’m glad I went. Both gardens were fizzing with colour and a joy to the eye. The rain held off and we had a lovely afternoon although the walk there and back was rather longer than I anticipated, I got a high five from DD and it strengthened her opinion that I’m not ready for the knackers yard quite yet. “It’s all in your head, Mother!”

The chiropodist is coming early this morning and then I have a session with the chiropractor this afternoon.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire.

OH and I got back home around 10.30 pm last night. Bus, plane, bus and finally taxi! What a change in weather - 30 degrees and dry in Malta, 18 and damp here!

I must do a Waitrose shop this morning and after lunch I will pop over to my neighbour for Craft Group. I will continue with my collage. She also fed Milo and Ripley for a week so I have a little something for her.

OH has to visit his bees. They were in a poor state when he visited them before our holiday.

Have a good day everyone. I believe that Flaming June is making a return in a week or so.☀️

Good morning from the Scottish Borders. I've also been awake for hours.

Sunday was a good day. After Quaker meeting, DD and family came for lunch and we enjoyed my garden. DSiL mowed the lawn and DD and the girls went through some stuff and even took a few things away. I shall miss this old place if and when it's sold.

In the evening I enjoyed The Help at our community run cinema.

Exercise class this morning and a busy week ahead.
I hope your plasterer turns up gMattie

I shall read peoples' news later.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from Malta where it is hot and sunny with the high reaching 33°C later.

Not much happening today. I did my bit of ironing yesterday plus steam mopped the floors so only have some dust removal to do today.

I hope your plasterer turns up grandMattie. It’s taken too long.

Wishing a good day to you all.🤗

Goody morning from a damp, cool Bristol. We are hurtling towards the summer solstice, and still have this horrible weather. I hope it improves for when DS arrives in 10 days time.
Yesterday was quiet with nothing much happening.
Curiously, after a few weeks of sleeping badly, waking at 2 am and nit managing any more sleep, I’m getting a bit more atm.
Today, I’m waiting for a plasterer. This the 4th time one is supposed to come and, after waiting all day, had no shows. I’ve not been given a time.
I know the job isn’t much, but the damage was done by their man changing the night storage heater in No ember. If I get another no show, I shall try to have it done myself and send them the bill. Enough is enough.
May the travellers have a safe journey, sick bay attendees get better and everyone gets a quiet day.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 12° and damp. More rain is forecast. Ashcombe hopefully you can have a nap later and your worries decrease.
Yesterday i didnt make jam but made lentil soup and a big slow cooker pot of bolognaise. I'll divide it today and freeze some.
Today is early childcare but, like Ash, I've been awake since 4. It's going to be a long day! I'll head to dds house for 6.30, get the boys up, fed and ready for school/nursery. After I've deposited them there, I will go home and freeze food then have a nap before picking up the boys. Spaghetti bolognaise for dinner. Have a good day all

Good morning, Mick, and everyone else from Torbay, where it’s damp from overnight rain. The sky looks like it’s still making up its mind so let’s hope it goes for a fine day!

I’ve been awake since 3 am for no particular reason although various family worries are on my mind. Will try to grab some more 💤 before I need to get up as I hope to go to my exercise class later this morning having missed a few weeks since being away.

Wishing everybody a good week and happy landings for those who are travelling and improved health for the unwell.
