Good Morning Sunday 26th July 2026

Good morning from a fresh N. Bucks. I woke in the night feeling a little chilly and then recognised the pleasant smell of rain after a dry spell. I doubt it was enough to revive the garden properly.
Good and bad news yesterday. Our neighbour who fell two weeks ago has now been moved to a re-hab unit in the hopes of returning home.
A long time friend who has had Parkinson’s for the last six years has now been diagnosed with dementia.

I did finally get around to finishing my painting. I am quite pleased with it, I think I am improving.

Today we have friends coming for lunch to discuss a holiday for next year. We shall eat jacket potatoes, homemade coronation chicken and salad. Treacle tart with clotted cream after. Indulgence!

Must get cracking with breakfast and then pop up to DD3s to feed the cats , my job whilst they are away for the week.

Wishing a good day for all especially those with worries, problems and illnesses to deal with.

Good morning from Sheffield

I did absolutely nothing yesterday, I felt sleepy all day. So I gave in and rested. Slept all night too.
Today I am ready for anything.

It’s a bit drizzly today but I think it’s going to clear up. We have a big music festival in Sheffield this weekend. It’s very popular but not my cup of tea . My DD has been there for the three days it’s on and loved every second.
DS2 and family are back from their week away on holiday. We will see them at some point today.

We were hoping for a cycle ride as well. I will see how the weather brightens up in a while.
Take care everyone

Good morning from an overcast N Surrey. There is quite a breeze, but it is not as cool as I would like.
After a cup of coffee I will water some pots. The grass and garden is beyond help now. The grass will revive in the autumn but the rest of the garden plants will need to be dug out.

I hope to read in the news head lines that the wild fires in France and Spain have died down. Terrifying for all involved.
A quiet pottering day today. I have started a new book which zi think I am going to enjoy.

Good morning from a wonderfully rainy, cool Cornwall. My patio plants are almost grinning.

We had quite the craziest birthday celebration for my grandson yesterday on a very windy, overcast, would you believe cold and eventually rainy beach, but we persevered ignoring the inclement weather. My nephews from London, my sons and grandchildren swam for ages. We were a large crowd of family and friends, chatting away and all took our eyes off my nephew's four-year-old son who we knew wasn't near the water. It's a tiny, safe beach and he was happily digging in the sand until, observing a nearby family's fairly large barbecue with obvious flames, decided it needed dousing and poured a bucket of sea water on it!

Obviously we were all mortified. The other family were amazing and really kind about it and quickly relit their barbecue. The little boy has a problem speaking, although he's bright enough, so he couldn't tell us why he did it. Barbecues don't usually have flames rising up so we think he was trying to be a fireman. 🤔

Today I'll hop on a bus to church and then wait to hear what fun the younger generation are concocting. If it involves The Eden Project I'll pass on that. Lovely as it is I prefer it in the quieter months.

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast wth a high of 31°C (feels like 36°C).

After the boys left yesterday I washed their sheets which dried quickly outside so I remade the bed ready for their next visit. I’m hoping it might become a regular event!

This morning I will do my half hour on the crosstrainer before going to Mass after which the weekly FaceTime chat with my pal in Leicester. She’s had a frustrating week so I shall no doubt need to lend a sympathetic ear.

Wishing you all a good day, thoughts with our poorly friends as always.☀️

Good morning from a clear, dawning Bristol. It would appear that we had a teeny shower in the night as the road and pavement are wet! It will have freshened the air a bit.
I never did the church cleaning as the work is unfinished and the church looked clean enough.
The new heating chandeliers look lovely and as though they had always been there. A lot of people came to coffee; I suspect they felt very alone what with family holidays, etc. this is a very empty/lonely time of year.
Apart from church this morning, there is nothing for me to do/see today.
May the mountaineers have a good day,a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🐦‍🔥🦩🌹🦩
