Good Morning Monday 22nd June 2026

Good morning all from a warm North Leicestershire where we have a slight breeze.

We had a good day yesterday with a visit from DS2. and doing little else.

Today I have a hair appointment and DH is going to the gym.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from the Essex coast.
It's already very warm and muggy.
I had a lovely birthday yesterday, thank you for all your birthday wishes.
I won't be doing much over the next few days in the heat, just what is necessary indoors.
Have a great week everyone, stay safe xxx

Thanks, karma, I’ll have a look later.👋

Morning from sunny S Hants, 20, predicted 31, voluntary phone today, quiche and salad for dinner.
Little else will be done, have a pleasant day.

Good morning, the sky is blue it’s 17° with a predicted high of 25° another glorious day.

Off to the gym this morning, then I shall be in the garden with my kindle. Pick up the The Imp from school for his weekly sleepover.

Not a lot planned for this week, other than enjoying summertime 🌞

GM The sunday V neck is a lovely free T shirt pattern from the Friday pattern company

Good morning from Sheffield

Those fabrics are fabulous GrandMattie, I especially like the orange. They will make a lovely pair of trousers

I shall go to my prayer group this morning. I haven’t been for a while.
Then working this afternoon. I am very fortunate that I have air conditioning in the shop and also in our bedroom. I will have to stay in one or the other all week

Take care everyone

Good morning everyone from a currently overcast Lancashire but it feels warm and muggy.

Yesterday's visit from the little chap's parents for Father's Day went ok. His mum is a picky eater so I did a buffet lunch to try to avoid any awkward moments.

Our DD phoned DH later. She visited us at the caravan a couple of weeks ago.

DH is in the office today and we don't have any plans. I finished knitting a scarf for our niece's 40th birthday yesterday so we may have a wander to the Post Office.

Take care, everyone, especially if you have hot temperatures. 🌻

Good morning from s somerset

My fan was on all through the night, on setting 1 and almost noiseless, it did keep me cool enough to sleep. I have 2 litres of water ready in the fridge and I will soon raise the shade umbrellas. It is all about being slothful this week

I finished both Amara tops yesterday, they look very nice and Dds will be pleased. I will likely make another next week for Ddil

Today will be all about surviving in a healthy state. Its like climbing a mountain, up to the peak of 40 on thursday. Met O are still not definite but it certainly looks as though it will be 40

Good morning from Bristol where it’s already 20C. Were promised another 10C ! Phew, what a scorcher…
After church, I decided to cut out trousers from the orange African fabric. I shall glow like a beacon with the brightness.🔅. Photo shows the fabrics.
The other photo is of my finished quilt. I’ll give it to my FAB friend, Whose birthday is about now.
My neighbour has decided to go to Tesco at 8 instead of 10 because of the heat, abig, big effort for her. I’m delighted. I’ll have the rest of the day free to sew my trousers.
I must go to the charity shop to see if I can get a cheap shirt pattern to make SiL a shirt out of one of these fabrics, for his 50th at the end of next month. (Otherwise, karma,can you suggest an inexpensive pdf pattern, please?)
May to survive this heat, keep cool and enjoy the sunshine.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🔅🦩🦩🔅

Good morning, just back from walking tiddler and it’s already 19° here on the hillside in south Glos.
I slept very badly, so I’m glad I don’t have anything much to do today. I’m probably subconsciously worrying about the Gastroenterologist call tomorrow morning, knowing that it’s highly likely that a colonoscopy will be coming up sometime 😬 I’ve had them before and unfortunately found them very uncomfortable and painful despite sedation. Oh what fun!
Yesterday the washing dried well, all put away. I cooked a chicken and there’s plenty of salads in the fridge.
I do need to sort out the freezer today.
I’m smiling as I write this because there are baby sparrows frantically being fed by their parents outside my bedroom window. They’re sitting lined up on top of the open window so I’m probably only 6’ away from them.
Wishing you a peaceful day 🌹

Good morning from a very warm hotel room in Crewe.

We’ve had a really super weekend although our journey here was rather spoilt by trains failing to run from Torquay so our journey took longer than usual.

On Friday we met up with my DD2 and family, her in laws and her father and his wife for a delicious Italian meal at a restaurant near our hotel. The latter had been used for asylum seekers but has undergone a refurbishment and we’ve been well looked after here. It’s very near the station and here’s a photo of it taken by DH from the station platform where he was train spotting on Saturday morning.

In the evening we were well entertained by DGD’s dance school as we enjoyed an excellent performance from children from aged three upwards. My DGD shone as ever - the opinion of other audience members as well as proud grandparents!!

Yesterday we had a day out to Bangor, N. Wales by train and we had to laugh when a cheeky herring gull stole DH’s baguette before he’d started eating it! Later we spent the evening with my family and today we’ll head back to Torquay.

Hope all our well and this week is kind to you.

Good morning from Malta where it’s sunny and forecast to be 37°C today.

Had a quiet day yesterday, I’ve had to learn to enjoy my own company since losing DH. Watched the tennis, I didn’t mind who won which makes it a lot less stressful to watch!😄

I shall walk up to the village this morning for a couple of things I need, otherwise no plans to speak of.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️
