Good Morning Tuesday 14th July 2026

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s warm with light grey clouds, sunshine later
Take it easy today ginny after a stressful day yesterday, hope your neighbour is doing ok
Yesterday I enjoyed pottering in the garden, mainly weeding and cutting back. I’ll not get much chance again today as I’m meeting a friend for coffee this morning at the garden centre and then I’ve the hairdressers this afternoon.
Lovely pictures grandmadinosaurand gelisa enjoy your holidays and everyone else away just now
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

ginny thank you for that info.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. The cloud is clearing already but it’s still cool out. Yesterday it was lunchtime before the cloud cleared so it was a very cool breezy morning. I met a friend for coffee and then had a browse in the shop at the RHS garden.

I need to go to the garden centre for some birthday cards and more compost, and will see my dementia friend later. I hope her DH has the patio door open, otherwise I’ll suffocate!

marzipan I hope you have a trouble free and comfortable journey home today.

bellasnana have a lovely few days in Majorca with your DD and your treasures!

utbb and ginny I hope you both feel better today, somehow the heat makes being unwell feel worse.

grannygravy enforced inactivity is frustrating isn’t it? Even when it’s really too hot to do anything anyway! I hope that your body is responding well to the rest.

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning Mick and everyone from sunny Carlisle. We have a cool northeasterly breeze which is keeping the temperature down most of the day inside though it gets stuffy by late afternoon. I'm still finding it too hot to do anything physical outside so I'm getting cabin fever!
I was going to go to the garden centre this morning, I have a space or two to fill but really there's no point if it's too hot to plant and then it will need careful watering. I've got plenty of that to do already.

I'll crack on with some housework and get out somewhere, anywhere tomorrow I think.

Enjoy the day if you can folks.

Good morning. From Shetland . It’s dull today following a glorious day day yesterday. We added to the wildlife total with thousands of seabirds which we could see on the cliffs as we went round small islands in a boat. Gannets guillemots razorbills kittiwakes arctic skewers amongst the sitings. We did the trip in the afternoon after climbing Shetland’s highest hill in the morning.
Today’s plans to visit the two most northerly islands are up in the air as we can’t get a ferry booking at the times we had planned. It shows how popular Shetland has become. We’ve never had a problem before in twenty odd years! Take care everyone 🌸

Cools down *

Good morning all from a sunny Maastricht.
I will join you today and share my picturesque view from our balcony in our apartment as I eat my breakfast. It’s lovely and cool on here.
Today we are going in a boat trip down the River Maas (our view from the front of the apartment) is where are heading into Belgium and Liege for a few hours. I love this country everyone is so relaxed and friendly.

Enjoy your day everyone. I hope it cools didn’t for when we are home later in the week.
Incidentally workmen have appeared working on the roof of the church 4 of them. Not a hard hat in sight.

Good morning from an overcast W Kent. It was lovely to see DGS3 yesterday and catch up with his interesting life. I then saw him off this morning at 5.15, he said he had a good sleep I of course didn’t.
Today is the U3A AGM and monthly meeting in a cool local church, quiet the rest of the day I hope
What a day ginny hope everything settles down
Best wishes

Helterskelter she has one of those neck cords. I think she pays something per month. In case of accidents she pushes a button and they attend to help.
I expect someone can explain better than me.

Good morning all from a sunny Black country.
Second load of washing on catching up after our weekend with our friends from Portsmouth, although they didn't stay with us sleeping at a nearby hotel a busy time as they were here early morning until late evening .
Today we are having a gas smart meter fitted not by choice but our meter is old and due for renewal.
Safe travels those on the move, hope all goes well with any medical appointments.
Have a good day everyone whatever your plans and stay cool 😎.

ginny your poor neighbour. That is a very long wait. Who are the emergency people to call out for a fall? I hope she didn't then have to wait in AE to be treated or admitted.

How kind of you to sit with her for so long.

Good Morning everyone from the central south coast where it is still warm, dry and breezy. No sign of much change in the forecast for us so, we continue to glow. (Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire but ladies glow).

Sorry you had such an unfortunate incident UTBB, whilst out for lunch. My innards can be unreliable so I entirely sympathise. Hope you feel better and more in control today.

Some nice outings with family members planned for today in Bristol and Malta - enjoy! These days will not come again and time is so fleeting. I would dearly love to see more of my family but distance and physical issues preclude that.

We shall be watching the Tour de France today when it resumes after the rest day yesterday - much needed after the heat in France and the riders' extreme exertions. Two more weeks to go too. Bastille day will no doubt be celebrated by the many spectators on the route.

Safe travels to all on the move and good luck with medical appointments. Hope those with worries and struggles have some relief today.

Good morning from a cool breezy N Surrey. Love it. The forecast temp this afternoon will be 32 deg. I shall have to have a nap/siesta.

These hot days are so tiring. Anyone living in a hot country tell me how your day evolves. Very early start? Afternoon nap? Air con? I think I shall have to devise a radical change to my day. If the supermarket opened at 7 or earlier I would be there.

However this morning the cool breeze is wonderful and I shall go and water some thirsty plants.

Good morning from a cool N. Bucks. Not feeling too great as yesterday did not turn out as expected. Our next door neighbour fell in her hallway and the emergency call people were not able to get her up due to pain on movement. They called for an ambulance but of course were not able to stay with her . So, I went in to sit with her. We waited over 5 hours for it to arrive and then of course about another hour before they took her off to hospital. Consequently it was past eight I was hungry and I just ate the easiest thing . Being diabetic that’s no a good idea and this morning I am feeling the effects of. Hopefully it will settle down quickly.
I am due to have lunch with 3 friends so will stick to something plain.
Later we will pop up to see DD3 and the two boys. Should have gone yesterday and have missed them whilst we have been away.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning from a cloudy but warm S E Essex.

A day of nothing stretched ahead, truffling with an old Penny Vincenzi book (A Question of Trust) I will persevere, it’s not bad enough to stop (yet)

I must admit that I am not very good at doing nothing nor obeying doctors orders . I am extremely frustrated at having my wings clipped

Wishing you all a,good day, safe journeys to the travellers 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from a cool NE Mids. Nothing in particular planned for today, AC all at work, and GC also at work or school depending on their ages so I won’t be seeing anyone until the weekend unless one of the youngsters needs collecting from school early.
Have a good day one and all!

Good morning from a cool, gloomy Durham. We might see a bit of sun and a temperature barely 20 late afternoon.
I have another dental appointment this morning, then home as I have DD2’s Little Dog here and a bag of her laundry to see to. A Tesco shop later and I’ll walk the dog before dark, then deadhead my roses and water various plants and pots.

Good luck with the various medical appointments. Hope MD is ok.
Best wishes to all. X

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is blissfully cool and overcast at the moment.

Yesterday was a very long day of travelling. Early start, late finish, when I went to my oldest friend’s funeral. We had known each other for over sixty years. I don’t get emotional at funerals, but last night when I came home I felt as if something had ended in me too. I felt quite ill all evening.

Today it will be nice to get back to something normal. This afternoon will be my last session at school for this academic year. Will they want me back in September? Who knows!

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Sheffield

I’m feeling a bit better today, I have caught up with my sleep.
Nothing exciting today. I am working and then a quiet evening. I’m looking forward to the new series of Sewing Bee tonight and the new presenter Sophie Willan, she is funny.

Take care everyone

Morning all from a soon to be hot West Oxfordshire.

I was woken up by one of the parent birds in the nest just below my bedroom window.

Yesterday was busy with the weekly shop, a trip to the Pharmacy and an afternoon at the monthly craft group where I finished off a collage. I had been working on it for ages but it is finally finished.

A tiny picture of a cat arrived yesterday. I had bought it at the RA Summer Exhibition. A good thing it is small as I am running out of walls.

I will pop round to a friend’s after lunch. She has the most wonderful dog which was given to her after she was widowed last year.

I’d like a bit more sleep but that d****d bird is still cheeping!

Have a good day.

Good morning from Stockport.
My lunch out yesterday ended badly when I had a gastric attack totally out of the blue, I made it to the loo but it was not good.
Enough of that however, my friend was the only one aware and I made it home ok.
I have felt unwell since, a quiet day today.
Temperatures although forecast to be lower this week are still very high to me.
I hope you can all find something good about today.

What a beautiful description of your grandsons fast asleep, Bellasnana! 💖💖
Hope your epic trip home goes smoothly, Marzipan22. You'll be glad to sleep in your own bed tonight.

Yep, so do I Ash! 🤗

Good morning everyone from Anglesey.

Yesterday was a pottering about day, with 2 loads of laundry washed and dried. I set up the paddling pool on the decking.

I deployed CBeebies as a distraction from being outside in the hot sun while I made lunch. I'm conscious of the research that says under 5s should have a maximum of 1 hour screen time per day, including tv, so we usually wait until teatime for The Clangers and In the Night Garden. Sometimes needs must and I don't want him getting sunburnt.

Not sure what today holds. Hope the day brings good things to you all. 🌻

A long day’s travelling, Marzipan22: I do hope the trains behave! 🤞
