Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey clouds and we’ve had overnight rain
So sorry to hear your sad news Gagagran sending condolences to you all ❤️
I’m off to the gym this morning and then meeting up with a group of ladies at the garden centre this afternoon. They’re all ladies I’ve known for a while and we’ve kept in touch over the years. It’ll be good to see them and catch up on all their news
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Gagagran sincere condolences on the sad loss of your brother. May he rest in peace.🥀

Good morning from what looks like another hot day but the lower humidity is welcome.

Apart from popping up to a friend to have a document witnessed we have no plans other than a restful day at home I hope others have a similar day of peace and quiet.

Thinking of you Gagagran dealing with the sad newsabout your big brother. No matter how expected such news is,the reality is still very hard to bear.

Gagagran condolences to you and your family take care of yourself 🌹

Good morning all from a muggy Black country according to my phone rain is in the vicinity, typical the towels are in the wash.
Karma you are one busy lady can you spare some of your energy.
Housework today and need to pick something up from doctors before DH appointment Thursday.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans 😎.

Good morning all from a cooler North Leicestershire. I think the forecast is for a hot day.

My condolences gaga. I am glad yiur brother didn't linger - that is hard on the family.

Today I am missing choir as a nearby Memory Cafe is short of volunteers.

Yesrerday's Carer learning session was full of emotion and, therefore, very tiring. I slept well

Have the best day possible everyone.

Please accept my condolences too Gagagran. x

Morning all from West Oxfordshire where another warm day is promised.

Such a relief that Belgium beat the USA last birth 4-1. After trump’s red card shenanigans it was the best result.

Gagagran - my condolences 🌷

It is the WI coffee morning today so I’ll go to that. It is usually a good occasion. The cafe is air conditioned!

After lunch I’ll pop to a friend’s for the afternoon.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. Sunny, with a cool breeze at the moment, another hot day is forecast.

gagagran, so sorry to hear about your db, sending sympathy to you and your family.

Yesterday was very warm and windy, I had my usual walk, tidied the kitchen and swept and washed the floor. The washing is on and will be put out to dry soon. I still have some ironing to do from the weekend’s washing so will do that this morning before it gets uncomfortably hot. I need to go to the post office, if it’s not too hot I’ll walk there, otherwise I’ll drive!

Thinking of all those who aren’t posting for any reason, and also thinking of those who aren’t well.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everybody from Málaga where we have the beginning of another glorious day. I do love this heat! It’s my LWW afternoon today. Always enjoyable.

I think I’ll just have one G&T and settle for water after that. Not like me but I’ve not had alcohol since last Tuesday owing to the stomach bug. If I’m honest I’m enjoying deeper and more refreshing sleeps without it. Shame I like it really … 😂

I think I’ll walk up into Arroyo early before it gets too hot and buy myself a straw hat. I threw one out when I was here last month as it was past its best and it is sensible to wear one when walking during the day in July & August! 🔥

My condolences gagagran. Sad news, please look after yourself.

Gagarin, I’m sorry for your loss

Good morning from a warm W Kent
Trying to decide whether to go to art group this morning, the heat is getting to me and I have an appointment with a new hairdresser this afternoon.
Gagagran my condolences to you.
Best wishes

Gagagran my condolences, a very sad time for you x

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 15° and cloudy. It's been windy for days. Gagagran my condolences to you on the loss of your db. Karma best to get it seen to. Bellasnana enjoy your time with your boys.
Yesterday was quiet. Dd brought the boys for a flying visit and they immediately set to drawing while she and I blethered. Later my neighbour brought me rhubarb.
Today the family are already in the air flying to Tenerife for 2 weeks. I will miss them. My plan is to get weeding started and make some jam with the rhubarb then see how I feel. Have a good day all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire. It was hot and sticky last night had we had thunder about three o’clock this morning but I’m not sure it actually rained. I won’t know until I go outside.

Yesterday I got on the tram and went to buy tickets for a train journey I’m making next week. The tram stops right outside the station. I’m not one who likes to book travel on my phone! The Luddite in me, though I do pretty much everything else on line. The rest of the day was spent doing piffling little jobs.

School this afternoon - probably my last session before the holidays. I must go to the pharmacy and get something for my very itchy eyes. They are driving me crackers at the moment.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
Not much warmth here.

I'm up earlier than usual to light my gas kiln. It takes a long time to reach top temperature - 14 hours sometimes.

My American cousin arrived last night laden with gifts for my DGD. Hand-knitted sweaters and beautiful dresses. I only hope they wear them. Photos came of them on holiday camping in Northern Scotland in rain and wind wearing coats and wellies on the beach. We had a nice supper cooked by my French helpers who are off on an early bus to spend the day in East Lothian.

They made pottery with my pottery friend yesterday. A roofer came who will do some urgent repairs to keep the house watertight.
I am still in too much back pain to do much.

You are a marvel of industry Karma

Enjoy your day as well as you can everyone.

Gagagran Tue 07-Jul-26 06:42:45

Hello everyone. Just a quick post to say that my big brother died peacefully last night at 10.50pm. Feeling very sad just now so may take a short break from here.

Melanie61 Tue 07-Jul-26 06:13:34

Good morning from Sheffield

Up in a mo to take the sausages out for a walk.

This morning I am going to our large shopping mall to the Apple Store. I have had an iPad for several years but have recently got the latest model.
I’m sure I’m not using it to its full potential. Apple do free classes on how to use their products so I am going on the course for iPads this morning.
I may peruse a few shops while I’m there, it would be a shame not to take advantage.
The rest of the day is my own so I will see what it brings

Karma hope your fears are ungrounded and it’s something easily sorted
Take care everyone flowers

Good morning from Belfast where it promises to be another lovely day.
Yesterday morning it was quite cool but the afternoon was sunny Alexa tells me it is 15 rising to 22 this afternoon.
I bought a strimmer and yesterday I went around everything that needed tidying up.
I had borrowed my DD s .
DH does cut the grass but doesn't see the edges !!!!
I found some rhubarb so I will cook that to day.
Tomatoes in the poly tunnel aren't doing well as expected.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from the NE Mids. Another hot day forecast for here too. I’m presently having my morning cup of tea having already downed 500ml of water. Also planning on doing the ironing before I take a shower. We are off to do the food shopping after breakfast before the heat gets too intense.
Have a good day one and all!

Good morning from a very warm corner of La Sarthe where we arrived early evening yesterday after a very smooth crossing (you were right, Jaxjacky!) and an easy journey. Thank you all for the good wishes yesterday.

All is well here, with the corn in the neighbouring field as high as the proverbial elephant's eye! DH is always relieved to find his home and car are in one piece. He was so impressed with my Ford Puma that he bought himself one last month!

Today we must collect the cat from the cattery and shop for groceries.

Have a good day, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning it is cloudy and 18° here with a high of 30° expected.

The Imp is still sound asleep, no rush this morning as it’s not his usual 8am start. Instead it’s 8.45.

He and the 11yr old got their reports yesterday, I am one very proud Granny 👵

No plans other than trying on my finger shopping dresses that arrived yesterday, fingers crossed they fit 🤞

Thinking of our poorly friends and those with troubles 🌸
