Good Morning Friday 7th August 2026

Thinking of md & mr md today. Hope all goes as planned

Good morning from cooler s somerset, 9 degrees just now and I am cooling the house before the next heat build-up

Cleaning was finished in two hours yesterday, very satisfying it was too, seeing the fluff and dust vanish from under furniture in my bedroom. Washing was done and put away, I was in whirling dervish mode

My new sewing project is giving me joy, I do like a slow and precise make and it is such a shame that the pattern designer has shut her business because of the work involved, I am going to make sure I have all her patterns on pdf. This one is a dress called the kelly dress, I have made it in the past but the colour was `not me`, the design was gorgeous. I have sized up a bit in the waist area and am making another wearable toile, this time in pretty soft cotton in pale apple green.

The weather is lovely again today, no housework for me, just a long cycle ride this morning. Going through the old villages and hamlet is like going back in time, old orangery attached to a beautiful old house, vicarages, parsonage, old manor farm, a farm that has big metal gates, cottages in the pristine manicured grounds but is still a working farm

My organic bits of food are due any moment, then a big mug of tea and a slice of my sourdough toast, it definitely is worth the effort of making

Thinking of MD and her DH and Roses important days for them and am hoping all is well

Good morning from Malta where it is sunny with a high of 39°C forecast.

Didn’t do anything to speak of yesterday. Today I have my nails at 11,30 so will have to get the car out of the garage. I use it so little I’m considering getting rid of it as it’s easy to get a cab and probably cheaper than running a car.

Hoping RosesandLilac is recovering from her surgery. Best of luck to Marydoll and Mr Marydoll for today.🙏🏻

Wishing you all the best day possible.☀️

Good morning from Bristol. The temperatures are climbing again 🥵
Yesterday was quiet. In the early afternoon, I went with the church hall handyman to change the 50year old stage curtains. They were in a dire condition.
The person who measured them made a monumental dogs dinner, they were far too narrow. Quite honestly, I wouldn’t have paid for them as there was no hem either, just an overlocked edge, etc.
In the end, we put two narrow curtains on each side and the two back ones are to be ordered at the cost of another grand. As I didn’t do the measurements or ordering, I just went with it, but if I had I would have been incandescent and sent them back. They look ok, I suppose. At least, they are clean.
Today, I have a hygienist appointment, my Monday one was cancelled at the last minute as he was unwell. I’ve got someone else this morning.
In the afternoon, my hair salon is opening again. One of my two neighbours can talk the hind legs off a donkey. She is kind but is the original grumpy old woman. It’s exhausting.
I hope r&l is doing well after surgery; all the best to Mr. MD.
