Good Morning Wednesday 29th July 2026

A later Good morning from Stockport., one again I had a bad night resulting in my going back to sleep about 6am.
The boiler engineer came about 11am and sorted it out though it proved to be a long job, nearly two hours.
There were two issues but it is fine now, how weird it is to be without hot water, we are very lucky and privileged to live when we do.
I had a nice time out with my friend , a “light” lunch in a good cafe, it was substantial enough for me to just have two boiled eggs for tea instead of the fish pie I had planned for my evening meal.
I shall have that today.
Better news for you and you H dragonfly I hope his progress is uneventful.
A load of clearing up today, I have new cleaners starting tomorrow and I want them to clean and not have to tidy before they can start.
Hot again today so keep cool and hydrated everyone.

Good morning all

Enjoy wearing your new dress out today fgt 💐
Me, led away by talk on here of Roman shopping now have a skirt and nightie on the way 😂

A late good morning all - on my way out for another vet visit for Rosie to check her splint and strapping. She is being very tolerant of it all.
On the subject of auto correct/predictive texting, despite being set to UK English my iPad keeps trying to correct my spelling to French. («A late»came up at first as À l’âge ) and it’s doing funny speech marks!
Has anybody else noticed Madeleine seems to be missing ? Or do I need to go to Specsavers? 👋👋 if you are there!

I am missing Madeleine as well. I hope if she is reading she knows how much her posts are enjoyed.

MawsRosie you are correct.
No need to go to Specsavers.
Madeleine is missing again.
I'm hoping it's technology problems again and that she will be back eventually.

Good morning everyone from muggy 21° Lancashire.

MrB and I had a lovely time in Lytham yesterday, it was one of my better days and we made the most of it .

Wishing you all a good day. 🌹

Good morning,everyone. This is my first post on Gransnet and I’m looking forward to getting involved with various topics.
I hope you all have a pleasant day and manage to keep cool! It’s really heating up in Hertfordshire now……

Welcome Jessmee warming up here too in Hampshire.

BlueSapphire, Emily Wilson wrote a very critical article re the script of the Odyssey film, commented on in the media yesterday. She did say it was causing the books including her own translation to fly off the shelves though.

Ekwa thank you, I shall search for the Emily Wilson article. I tried to buy her book on Amazon, but it wasn't available till mid August. Waterstones no problem.

Good morning all , wee shower or rain raised my hopes , oh well it’s a bit late my garden has a definitely Autumnal look !

The original article is in the London Review of Books BlueSapphire . Apparently she’s a regular contributor.

Welcome Jessmee - I thought that “in Hereford, Hereford and Hampshire, heatwaves hardly ever happened”😁! Sorry! I’ll get my coat!

Thank you Ekwa found and read! Will need time to let it sink in...
