Good Morning Monday 15th June 2026

Good morning from a bright and sunny Torbay.

Unfortunately, I have had a very poor night’s sleep, being awake till nearly three and then disturbed by thunder and lightning briefly.

I hope that Gagagran is feeling more comfortable. It must’ve been quite a shock and so disappointing to miss your concert..

Have a good week, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from Cyprus. What can I say - hot and sunny - it is.
Glorious, just reading and taking things easy.
Gaga that sounds painful, are you up to date with a tetanus jab?

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is going to be cool and cloudy today.

Yesterday was a bit of a down day. I kept myself busy cleaning the inside of the car and gardening - some new plants to find a home for and others to clear and cut back. I find myself wondering where all the butterflies are this year. I can count on one hand the number I’ve seen in my garden so far.

I had a two day news blackout from DD and the menfolk in Greece and started to wonder what had happened to them, but last night they phoned to tell me what they had been up to. It had all involved very early mornings and long days.

I’m going to hop on a bus today and head to the Botanical Gardens. The rose garden should be lovely now and there will be lots of other delights too. There is a Victorian bear pit which has been transformed into a fernery. I love ferns. It still has a bear, but he’s made out of bronze!

Have the best day you can, folks.

A much earlier good morning everyone from a cloudy Northampton. Up early as I have an early fasting blood test at the surgery - an annual routine one along with blood pressure etc. So can't have my usual mug of tea and biscuit until afterwards; but I think I might pop into the village bakery cafe on the way home.for a coffee and perhaps toast. Then visit the dentist opposite to make an appointment as I seem to have chipped a front tooth.

DS came down yesterday and, after a lawn mower lesson from me, kindly cut front and back lawns; I am not allowed to do anything like that until about 4 weeks after my cataract surgery. He also trimmed a few shrubs back.

I then went off to my afternoon concert which was lovely, but somewhat spoiled for me by the lady I was sitting next to who insisted on tapping her hand along to the beat all the way through- it was all I could see out of the corner of my eye, and it was so distracting. This is the second time I have found myself by pure chance sitting next to her! my heart sank when I saw her as she did exactly the same last time. I will not be booking that row again, a pity as they are excellent seats. I so wanted to nudge her or slap her hand but restrained myself....

No plans for today once I get back from the surgery, so will probably catch up with the weekend newspapers which I haven't even looked at yet.

Wishing all a pleasant Monday.

Good morning everyone. I'm back in Lancashire, having come home yesterday.
You wrote very comically about your fall into the rose bushes, Gagagran**, but what a shock for you. Hope you're feeling less battered this morning. 🤕

I know what you mean about August being a lonely month, **GrandMattie.
As a young mum and now a fulltime grandparent I'm already dreading the toddler group shutting from mid July til early September.
I know the volunteers who run it each week deserve a break, but I'll miss it. There are play cafes and soft play areas locally, but they are expensive.

Hope you manage to get your shrubs moved, **Karma. I'm always impressed with what you pack into a day.

Wishing you all the best day possible. 🌻

Good morning from Sheffield

It’s a a friends 90 th birthday soon so I’m meeting a few friends for lunch to celebrate. One friend lives far away so it will be nice to see her and catch up

I will work this afternoon as normal.
We had a great bike ride yesterday although the path was a bit rough and bumpy, it’s made me feel achy this morning.
Take care everyone

Good morning from Wiltshire.

Yesterday was not as sunny as Saturday had been and cloudy at times but still ok to have chicken roast dinner (only chicken went on bbq). Roasties and veg done indoors.

We are having GD3 and GS2 all day as their school has a teacher’s inset day. I’d totally forgotten until reminded yesterday evening. 🤦‍♀️. Will probably take them to Bowood and may take a picnic. GS in particular is like a dog insofar as he needs lots of exercising. 😂 Will take painkillers (hip) before leaving the house. Dinner will be rest of the chicken.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a grey Bristol. Perhaps we’ll get some proper sunshine today - it wasn’t warm enough for me to sit out yesterday.
I spent a quiet Sunday after church. I often have a cuppa with on3 or other neighbour but both were busy. I did, however, sew patchwork squares together and start the sashing (strips of contrasting fabric over the seams on the back)
Tesco today, then our not-WI meeting 🐦‍🔥. Not only have I already heard the talk but it’s about shops that were open in the distant past in the village. It really doesn’t appeal to me not having that sort of nostalgia.
May this week be gentle to you.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and dry. Karma early bird and all that!
Yesterday I didnt do much. I cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen and hoovered but that was all. Lots of pottering.
Today is early childcare day and I had a very disturbed night again. Once I've dropped off the boys at school/nursery, I'll head home for a nap. Then back to the library to tidy up before picking up the boys. In between I will make chicken curry for dinner. Have a good day all.

Good morning from Malta where it’s sunny with a forecast high of 33°C.

DD3 and the boys came over yesterday morning which was lovely. My home comes alive when they are here. They played in the paddling pool until it was time to go out for lunch, to which I was invited but declined as I preferred to stay at home.

Watched the tennis and had a nap. A lazy day.

The boys are coming this morning as they have no school (Foundation Day).

I was telling DD3 how much I missed the days when they were babies and I used to look after them every day so she immediately said I could have them today as she has plenty to be getting on with!

Sorry to hear of your nasty fall gagagran. I hope you are feeling ok and less sore. It’s such a shock when you fall. 💐

Wishing everyone a good day ☀️

Good morning from sunny s somerset

I am dressed and ready for off, to the allotment by 6. I had a shorter sleep but my brain processed stuff for me as usual and I am going to dig up 6 shrubs in my flower/squash area. This is to make life a lot easier in the future. They have only been in for 18 months, hard clay ground so I will wet the soil first and am hoping a fork will do, I am taking my gorilla bar just in case

This afternoon I am with the crafting group so want to have a few hours at home in between

Yesterday was perfect, lovely weather and an extended cycle ride, incorporating an allotment visit and weeding the flower/squash area

I wanted a memory stick, to transfer all the sewing and knitting patterns stored on my computer. I found two memory sticks and got bogged down in de-cluttering that drawer. In process I looked into an external hard-drive, it is full of all the photos that DH transferred to disc, hundreds of them. A lovely surprise. I dumped about half of what was in that drawer and everything else is in zip lock, labelled, bags. Now future-proofed as easily identifiable

All my patterns are now safely stored on two sticks

I was awake before the bird. I was too warm so thought I might as well start my day and in a mo will go pack my car with allotment stuff.
