Good Morning Tuesday 9th June 2026
(40 Posts)Good morning from the Essex coast where it is bright and sunny at the moment.
DH has an eye appointment at the hospital at 8.30 so an early start for us.
This evening we have our monthly committee meeting.
I hope today is a good one for you all x
Ginny what a worry for you! I'll keep your grandson in my thoughts ❤️
Good morning from cool. breezy s somerset and crikey, it is raining again
A very busy day yesterday, tail wagging the dog situation, I decided to sew for an hour before bed, to relax my mind. It worked. It is very tricky here wrt the road/access situation at the moment, maybe will take another few weeks
I need to get a car battery this afternoon, I had a sign that my battery was starting to fail and am never going to chance that again, being somewhere and not being able to start my car
I did try my toile bodice and abandoned that size, I had shortened it a bit and the sizing was a bit small I have almost caught up with myself.
Wardrobe has had a clean and sort, I still have a tall elfa basket unit to divide, parts ordered and could well arrive here today. Half is destined for the sewing room wardrobe and half back to my wardrobe so I can put shorter tops above. Its a nuisance having a wardrobe with side alcoves. The de-cluttering I have done has enabled me to make the changes. The half going into the sewing room will be perfect for pattern storage
So a mixed bag day, no chance of going to the allotment and my sourdough starter is rising, I will have to make bread later too
Just seen your post, Ginny.
My BiL is a motorcyclist and I always do an extra check for them at road junctions.
Hope his surgery goes smoothly.
It doesn't matter how old they are, we still worry about them. 💐
Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and damp. Yesterday ended up a lovely day so I have hopes for today. Roses I hope the stitch removal goes well. GrandMattie a red letter day for you yesterday! Plasterer and outside painting.
Yesterday went well. No disasters from dgs2! I arrived at dds and the boys were already up and leaping about. A big hug from dgs1 set me up for the day. After I dropped them off I came home to make rhubarb jam and it had gone mouldy. I was annoyed with myself for procrastinating on Sunday and not making it then. The rest of the day was quiet. I saw one of my neighbours for a quick chat. Theyre just back from lanzarote. In the afternoon I did an hour in the school library before picking up the boys to bring them to my house. They were ravenous! They ate almost continuously until first dgs1 was picked up for football then dd picked up dgs2. I was busy preparing dinner when dd appeared back again for A3 paper. Dgs1 has to make a poster and do a talk. Hes chosen orcas. Dd thought she had ordered paper but it didnt arrive. After dinner, my other neighbour came over, bringing fresh rhubarb! She stayed for a while for a chat and to tell me about lanzarote. They're planning to sell their property there later this year.
Today I will pick up the boys and bring them to my house for breakfast before taking them to school. Then I will sort out my kitchen and potter about til pick up time. Have a good day all
Good morning from Sheffield
I am still recovering from a very busy weekend . The Roxy Music tribute band were excellent, and we had a great time . Trouble is we didn’t get to bed till about one which is four hours later than I normally retire.
A busy Sunday out and about with our friends.
We had a lovely time though, my husband and friend started nursery school together so it’s easy company and we have a good laugh.
So yesterday was left to strip beds, tidy up and get straight.
I was so tired last night, fortunately I did have a good sleep so I’m back to normal today.
I’m not working so I’m going to go into the garden and give it a bit of a tidy up . At the moment the sun is shining but I don’t know if it will last.
I have a volunteer session at teatime, but I will be back home for eight.
Take care everyone
Good morning everyone from sunny Anglesey.
I'm hoping it's going to stay sunny today as I'd like to get some washing done and out and dried.
Hooray for the plasterer and painters, GrandMattie! 🤩
Hope your stitch removal goes smoothly, RosesandLilac. It might be worth taking a couple of paracetamol before you go to take the edge off if it is uncomfortable.
No real plans for us today. I quite like the odd 'nothing' day.
Wishing you all the best day possible. 🌻
Good morning, clouds and showers forecast for today here in N. Bucks.
I’ll be trying to keep myself busy today as we had a call to say that our eldest DGS (23) had been knocked off his motorcycle. He is having surgery today to fix a broken leg and ankle. Luckily no other injuries. His protective clothing did its job. So, doubt I’ll be able to settle to much . DD1 will keep us informed.
Hope today is good to you all.
Good morning from yet another dull and grey Black Country, where it rained off and on yesterday.
Audiology appointment yesterday for new moulds, and she programmed the Aids upwards for better sound. They used to do this by attaching the aids to computer, now it is done wirelessly.
I popped into Merry Hell Hill beforehand to collect sandals and straight leg joggers I had ordered.
Today I have to go to Mums to do her Lidl shop, and Spec Savers Audiology are visiting this afternoon to do a hearing test for her and review the Aids.
Good luck with stitches today R&L hope it is not too problematic.
At last gM plasterer finally arrived, so frustrating for you that these jobs take forever to happen.
Wishing you all the best day possible.
Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay.
Good luck with having your stitches removed, RosesandLilac. Having breakfast out afterwards will be a welcome treat, I’m sure.
I enjoyed my return to Move It Or Lose It yesterday and hope I do not suffer any after effects with achy joints, etc.
Back to help with Props this morning at our theatre.
Have a good day, everyone, and I hope it includes some sunshine.
🦩🥰🌞💐🦩
Good morning from a soggy Bristol. After a lovely afternoon, it poured down all-nighter and is bucketing atm.
All the best wit(bt he stitched, r&l.
Hurray, the plasterer came. I’d almost given up and had sat down after being busy all morning, washing (and scrubbing) floors, etc., when the doorbell went.
The chap spent about 40 minutes. Unusually, he was rather taciturn, got on with his job. Apparently, he was out of his area, but did a good job. He was pleased when I said that I’d do the painting because he would have needed to come back this afternoon to do it. I was left with sandpaper and a sponge sanding block. No problem, easy peasy.
I’m so pleased; I have been whinging about it since November when the old radiator was replaced,!
The other “Hurray” was that the outside painting had finally started, three years or six weeks late - take your pick.
Today is baking day, sewing, and generally filling it with things to do.
Hav3 a good day all. 🐦🔥 Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
Good morning! It is bright in the NE Mids too with a light breeze and no rain forecast today. Taking advantage of a dry day to get some weeding done around the onions growing in the veg patch and the gooseberries are ripening at a pace now so I’ll be checking to see if any are ready to pick.
Have a good day one and all!
Good morning, it’s wet here on the hillside in south Glos, but not raining at the moment.
I’m off to get the stitches out of my leg first thing, they’re rather embedded after two weeks 😬, today was the first appointment I could get at the surgery.
I’m picking up a friend en route and we’re having breakfast out in a new café; I’m looking forward to it.
Hopefully it’ll brighten up later, yesterday afternoon was lovely and sunny but not particularly warm. It’s looking like the weather will improve by the weekend.
I will give the dogs a good brush when I get back, they’re moulting like mad. It’s just as well we have a new vacuum cleaner! Bigger dog has a very fluffy undercoat, unlike tiddler whose hair is very short, it gets everywhere.
Best wishes to you all x
