Good Morning Friday 3rd July 2026

My heart sinks at the prospect of another heatwave and it certainly feels warmer this morning. A quick trip to the village and an afternoon watching the tennis, I think. Sorry to read of Mdoll’s manifold disasters; surely today can’t be quite so awful!

Another here adding my congratulations to Mr&MrsGinny a wonderful achievement. Enjoy your day (and the surprise when it comes!)

Happy birthday to your daughter Jax on her special ‘0’ day.
🎉

Marydoll what a day you had! Bet you felt like turning round, going back to bed and pulling the duvet over your head. Has someone been sticking pins in a doll do you think? 😱

harrigran beyond awful. No wonder you don’t feel in holiday mode.

Maybe go inside Málaga cathedral Georgesgran? I’m not the least religious but found it uplifting and inspiring. The memory has stayed with me a long time. When we were outside one time in the plaza opposite enjoying summer drinks in the shade a very VIP wedding was taking place. It was splendid to watch! The bride looked gorgeous, limousines to the door down those very narrow streets surrounding the cathedral, beautiful retinue of several bridesmaids and security in dark suits, shades and earpieces. Just wow!

I admire your outlook on life Gingster you are always so upbeat about what life has thrown at you. Must be hard at times soldiering on best as.

Do you know ~ isn’t this a lovely group ~ all chatting together and starting our day? Thank you Mick. I’m very grateful for it.

Good morning everyone from sunny Anglesey.
Congratulations on your Golden anniversaries, Ginny and Grannyme6. 🥂🥂

Yesterday's visit to The Dingle went well. The trees are beautiful and we were treated to a cabaret act on an overhead branch by a very friendly red squirrel which was a bonus.

Hope your grand daughter finds a suitable 6th form soon, Harrigran. Aside from all the upheaval it's outrageous that monies spent on trips have disappeared into the ether.

Glad your appointment went well, RosesandLilac.

Hope everyone has the best day possible. 🌻

Happy Anniversary Grannyme6 🥂
Me neither GrannySomerset

Happy wedding anniversaries to all those celebrating and especially to the Golden Wedding two! Have a lovely day!
It is our 61st on 10 July and yet doesn't seem a minute since it was our Golden day. Time flies by more quickly the more we age.
Anybody approaching their Diamond anniversary (60th) can request a congratulatory card from the KIng. You have to send a copy of your wedding certificate to prove it. Our DD arranged ours- in good time. I think she found it all detailed what to do online. Just thought it might be of interest some of my age group!

Good morning from a warm Co Armagh, I’ve been chopping down Night Scented Stock , it has been thouroughly chewed by caterpillars , the eggs must have been on it when we bought it , such a shame , it’s amazing how much damage they can do overnight , I’m hoping some of it can grow back
I’m dreading another heatwave , I can’t take too much heat , at least with cold temperatures you can wrap up
I’ve had my morning coffee so off to do a bit of ironing before I run out of energy!
Glad yesterday wasn’t too bad Rosesandlilac
What a shame to see the mess in your garden Marydoll 😧
