Good Morning Monday 22nd June 2026

Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 13°C.

I have little news, my exhaustion is overwhelming, which means, I can do very little, without having to stop for a rest.

My news from the hospital on Friday. regarding my critical, abnormally low, immune system results, has knocked me for six.
In all the years, I have been taking immunosuppressants, it has never been so low.
At least I know why I have been feeling very unwell.
Word of advice, don't use Dr, Google to do research on your issues!
Rather discombobulating.😪

My biggest concern is DH, who is becoming increasingly unwell, with no sign of a diagnosis. How on earth am I going to look after him?

GM, I can't wait to see what you do with your fabrics.

Roses ♥️

For those on holiday and those preparing to go, enjoy!!

Have a pleasant day folks.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Will take doggy out in a minute. He sleeps in the garden all night.
This afternoon I am going for afternoon tea to a local garden centre where the tables are scattered under the trees.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good Morning all from a sunny and warm central south coast but with a lovely breeze so it's not humid. I can cope with the heat when there is no or little humidity. That's what is so draining.

DS and DDiL came to see us yesterday and endured a long and hot drive round the M25 and down the A3. Traffic was nose to tail all the way and they were late for our lunch booking. It was a good catch up though and the food at the nearby cafe/restaurant was freshly prepared and very tasty - if portions were a bit too large sized for me.

I am still recovering from my nasty fall last week and hope the slow progress speeds up. The promised heatwave will not help so there will be very little done this week I suspect.

My big brother is slowly fading away in the hospice but is being kept pain free and comfortable and my dear niece sends regular updates and pictures. She has been so kind and thoughtful. Hospices are a wonderful place. He has spells of lucidity and is calm and philosophical and very grateful to be where he wanted to end his days.

Good wishes to all our GNs with worries or struggles and hope today brings some relief.

PS I loved your train photo Fgt especially with the hill description.

Good morning from my patio in Cornwall where a lovely cool breeze is coming in from the river. The Domino's pantechnicon has already delivered nearby and now the street sweeping lorry is doing its stuff. They're only temporary noises but I love to hear the town waking up.

I bought a small tray of orange and yellow marigold plugs at Sainsbury's yesterday, thinking there were six or eight double ones and found there were 20! So my patio is a bit over-marigolded now, if that's even possible as they are very pretty. The buddleia in my wild wood hangs over the patio and is finally flowering. Yesterday there was a profusion of butterflies around it.

I have to eat my breakfast banana and cake under a towel on my patio Ash otherwise I'd lose it to the gulls. A tourist had their pasty stolen in St Ives recently and killed the gull that took it. Wicked, stupid man. Pity the Police can't find him. Rant over.

Maximum 25° here today but still very hot for my lungs. The sea breeze must be keeping the temperature lower than inland places. I'll be pottering today, may have brunch in Wetherspoons, a sausage sandwich perhaps. Otherwise I'll be on my swing seat under my sun umbrella.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. Sunny and warm again, there’s a pleasant breeze too. DD1 and family visited yesterday, my SIL disposed of a large spider which thought it had found a home in my bedroom. Nothing planned for today other than trying to keep the house cool, upstairs it was 28 degrees, a bit warm for sleeping.

glammagran I hope your DD is able to have a scan soon and that there is nothing seriously wrong.

Have the best day possible everyone, stay cool if you have the sun!

Good morning from an overcast W Kent. Happy day yesterday with family. DS and DD2 provided delicious puds and I made a huge lasagne, everybody sat about
Today the cleaner if she can manage it and a lot of sitting around
Best wishes

Good morning from the East coast.
I’m tired it wasn’t the best night sleep.
We enjoyed our weekend with family and I loved being with my dad. It’s back to the routine today GS from school and tonight looking after the little ladies. This morning I have a Dr appointment to discuss my recent blood tests.
Thinking about your DD Glammagran Hope she’s ok 💐

Enjoy your day if you can with moments of joy and staying cool 😎 🌼

Morning all fromWest Oxfordshire.

Well, I will be driving to Kew later. At least my car has air con!

OH should be playing croquet after lunch with his U3A group. I hope they’ll have plenty of water.

Have a good day.

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Yesterday's bedding was washed ironed and back on the bed, today I have more washing on making the most of the weather.
We have a man from Virgin coming this afternoon to sort the new TV box out.
Will find myself a nice shady corner in the garden and sit and read.
grandMattie love the vibrant colours on the materials the blue is my favourite.
Have a good day everyone whatever your plans, safe journey home Ashcombe☀️

Good morning from a lovely bright and breezy N.Bucks.
DH is off to golf , may not finish all 18 holes if it gets too hot. A few household jobs for me this morning and then I’ll collect DGS1 and take him for lunch It breaks the day up for him whilst he is not able to get around far on his own. OtherwiseI’ll wait for it to cool a bit and then do some dead heading and tidying in the garden.
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning Michael and all GNs from an already very warm South Yorkshire. Yesterday was warm but cloudy. I had a walk round the top of the valley - lots of bird song, wild flowers and butterflies. I came home and fell asleep in a chair! In the evening, DD phoned from the last of their Greek island destinations before they come home on Thursday.

I don’t think I will go far today and certainly not in the car. I’ll cut the grass before it gets too warm and that will be it.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from sunny Suffolk and I’m about to go and water the pots in the back yard.

Yesterday we couldn’t believe how busy the carpark and cafe at Dunwich beach was at 10.30. We are frequent visitors and have got to know one of the serving ladies. She said people had been queuing since they opened at 9.30am. Excellent cheerful service as ever and bacon and sausage baps enjoyed by DH,DS and his family.

Like others we will take this week at a slow pace,only doing any essential trips from home and keeping out of the sun in cool spots in the house and shade under trees in the garden in the cooler parts of the day.

Hope all have a good day.

Good morning from sunny Wiltshire.i had the tower fan on all night and is reasonably cool in the bedroom atm.

Well yesterday’s visit to see DD2 and family did not go to plan.
When we pulled up outside their house after lunch there was an ambulance outside. DD2 had a hemilegic migraine but it was so severe she had lost all feeling down one side of her body. They waited 5 hours to be seen in A&E and then she was sent home but needs an MRI scan apparently to rule out a TIA which she wasn’t able to have yesterday. The other GPs were there so we managed to keep the kids entertained. We then took them back to ours to give them pizza intended for today. They were not on their best behaviour. They were picked up at 7:30 and then we cooked our own dinner. I will worry of course. School pickup and dinner here later.

Take care this week everyone with the buildup of heat.

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 🦩🦩🔅🦩🦩🔅
