Good Morning Sunday 19th July 2026

Good morning from a warming N. Bucks.
Good day yesterday with our friends and they were thrilled that all 3 of our DDs made the effort to pop in to see them.
Today I am off to a craft workshop. There will be 6 of us. I’m going seemed with homemade carrot cake and individual chocolate chimney cakes.
Wishing all a good day especially those with illness and worries to deal with.

DH and I are giggling over our coffee, Grandmabatty!
I had a similar experience many years ago when leaving church late after a meeting. I couldn't understand why my key wouldn't open the mini door ..... the appearance of the actual owner helped me understand why!

Good morning everyone from everyone from our final day in Anglesey before heading home today.
Going to break my usual rule and catch up with all your news later.
Safe travels to anyone on the move and wishing you all a lovely Sunday.
Take care. 🌻

Good morning all from a coolish North Leicestershire.

Not a lot happening here today thankfully.

We really enjoyed Abigail's Party at the theatre yesterday and it was lovely to see my GN twin there with her friend. The play was really well received so it was disappointing to see the theatre was only half full.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone. Just popping in to say how lovely it was to coincidentally meet Kitty and her DH at the theatre, yesterday. Even more of a coincidence, as out of the 100s of rows they were sat in the row in front of us.
I agree the performance was excellent, but the summer holidays certainly reduced the audience.
Have a good day one and all.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's 12° but rising to 21° later.

Yesterday's mostly garden party to celebrate my friend's DH went very well. I am pleased because she was quite anxious beforehand.
Today I shall ask my helpers to bring back the chairs, glasses and cutlery she borrowed although it should perhaps go into a communal space somewhere else. I won't need so much stuff when I eventually move.

I looked at yet another house yesterday. Not right for me and needing work.

My back pain is still so debilitating. It gets me down. I'm sitting against an icepack waiting for the painkillers to work.

If they do I plan to help a young woman to fire her kiln for the first time.

Tonight my lodgers have invited me and my helpers to dinner. The pipe under their sink is dripping so I may have to attend to that with washer and tape.

Your fête went very well gMattie by the sounds of it. Well done!

Glamis castle gardens look smart Gelisa I've driven past several times but never visited.

Lovely drawing. Hollysteers
There are 2 fledgling gulls on my driveway. A parent on the roof of neighbouring flats.
They are hungry.

Hoping everyone has something nice to look forward to today.

Church in the next village followed by not much, I think - other than the Sunday paper, which I have been to buy before breakfast. I slept very badly so went to buy a paper at what for me is an indecently early hour.

Hope everyone has a satisfactory day with a minimum of frustrations, especially Marydoll.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where Alexa tells me it’s 14°C at present and will rise to 23°C. So just like yesterday which was a lovely sunny day.

I’ve not long been awake from my last dream. Himself had his jacket on and I asked him where he was going. No don’t, I said I’d rather come back home with you and we had a wonderful lingering kiss. It seemed so very real when I ‘heard’ his voice. I had a little cry when I lay there thinking about it. Hey ho.

So I’m off to see my stepfather again this morning I’m a bit concerned how frail he looks and exhausted with the shingles. I want to assess whether to call the doctor out to him tomorrow. He is sleeping so much during the day yet sleeps well during the night too. I have to remember he’s 94 and the shingles has knocked the stuffing out of him. Yet I also need to consider whether he might be anaemic. Or low because he’s sad (his brother of 100 died only a few weeks ago) and lonely. It’s a concern.

Later this afternoon I’m walking over to have a slice of Boy Wonder’s birthday cake at theirs. He has finished high school for the summer holidays now. L’il Miss finishes Tuesday and teacher mum on Friday. 3 Trafford schools, all different. 🤷‍♀️

Morning all from a cooler West Oxfordshire.

Yesterday was fun. Granddaughter enjoyed Horrible Histories, the Terrible Tudors and lunch at Pizza Express.

Today’s outing is lunch at an Italian followed by the film Moana.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from Sheffield
I am in the garden again. It’s so lovely to do a bit of gardening. I haven’t done any for a while since it’s been hot

The Derren Brown show was amazing. I realise some of it is sleight of hand and hypnotism but what he did was just unfathomable, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Today we are off to brother and sister-in-law‘s for lunch. Sister-in-law is not very well so we will hopefully lift her spirits
Take care everyone

Good morning everyone from sunny Lancashire.

Yesterday’s clouds have moved on. We only had a couple of showers in the end. The sunshine is back now and MrB and I have enjoyed a walk around the Dock. It’s a bit cooler than recent days. I am so grateful for my triwalker, I would not be able to get out without it.

Good to see you dear Marydoll. I hope Dragonfly is managing and her back is improving, I don’t think she’s posted yet today.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday. 🌹

Good morning Micheal and all GN's at last on a breezy greyish day in North Yorkshire. Have had a frustrating start to my day with the laptop starting up but presenting me with a blank screen. I have fiddled and faffed about, but at last it is now working. Have no idea if anything I did helped it, or it just righted itself. I have been catching up and reading all your posts.

Yesterday I went down to the market on the yellow peril. I was glad of my bicycle bell to give little tings, to warn people I was close by, as it is very quiet . With the cooler day, it was very very busy on the market, with everyone trying to catch up with shopping and jobs before it warmed up. Good news for the stalls, all doing a lot of business. There is a clothes stall , which has all sorts including some rather good patchwork trousers and tops etc., He had some new cotton tops and was doing great business in the sunshine.

I got most of what I needed there but stopped outside the paper shop and tried to catch the eye of one of the staff, but it was so sunny outside and dark to look in that I wasnt sure if they had seen me. My back was being so bad I really was trying to avoid getting off and on the buggy, but fortunately someone had seen me so I was able to get the Yorkshire post and pay him, and then glad to get home with everything .

I had intended to do a bit more sorting, but by the time I had put shopping away and got something to eat, I had had enough, and was happy to sit , and lie down at times, watching the rugby. Hope I can get back to normal tomorrow. So glad you had some help and all went well for you Grandmattie. Hope you are enjoying your Tour de France Micheal. You will all be halfway through your day byo
now but hope it keeps going well

A very late Good Morning from Stockport.
I have been unable to log in to GN since yesterday lunchtime, then had a dreadful night for no reason, finally dropped of to sleep about 7 and woke half an hour ago when my GD was able to fix the problem, I shall miss her in so many ways.

Yesterday I made contact with a local cleaning company and have fixed a deep house cleaning for two weeks time.
If I am happy I shall have them come every two weeks, it will be a huge weight off my mind.
The gardeners also came for the third time and I am happy with them.

A very lazy day for me ,but no change really, I am finding any physical task very challenging.
I hope you can all enjoy some of Sunday.

Hi everyone, I’m late ,
had great chat with our lovely cleaner , we walked round the garden and she too seeds from some plants , my daughter had cuttings and seedlings for her new garden , she brings us some to swop
Candles were lit at Mass
