Good Morning Saturday 8th August 2026

Good morning everyone,
I’ve only read a few posts so far, so apologies.

Glad you are home rosesandlilac and recovering from the effects of the anaesthetic.

Yes, I agree with greyduster that your gs will be anxious about starting school and the change it will be Grandmabatty .Its going to be a very warm day today after the last few more bearable days.

Sending best wishes to all who are feeling unwell or struggling today.

Good morning everyone from the sunny west midlands.
A slow day here today, so slow that I keep sneaking off to the fridge and nicking the houmous. I have though, dug-deep to find enough self-control to wander down to the the veg plot & admire my massive sweetcorn plants. I'm happy & grateful for all the small mercies & of course, houmous!
Wishing everyone the best day possible. Ps, my mother in law has given me a seat for camel riding!
I suppose I'll have to go-out camel -shopping now; that could be very interesting. 🐪

Good morning from Sheffield
The dentist couldn’t find anything wrong with my tooth yesterday. He thinks its an inflamed nerve from chewing on that side after the extraction I had the other week ,he said give it a few more days to see if it settles down so we will see.
I am busy preparing today . Every year we have a family barbecue . Our three kids, their partners and an abundance of grandchildren. There will be 17 in total. Everybody’s bringing something so that’s good. We just have to get tables and chairs out and sort out the barbecue for tomorrow
Take care everyone

Good morning from a perfect temperature so far in N Surrey.
I love being in the kitchen with the patio doors wide open and some fresher air coming in.
This week is going to be very hot so I won't be throwing open the doors till next weekend.
I have decided to sort of write off August and anticipate a cooler September.
As Marzipan says this is probably what summers will be like from now on and we must adapt because we can't change it.

Love the crocheted flowers. What will you make Marzipan?

Sorry you are feeling down Madeleine. You are normally so positive. Be like me and look forward to September.

Enjoy today as much as possible.

Good morning from Belfast where it is 17 rising to 24 according to Alexa.
Washing went out last night and is almost dry.
Had to dash out and get the washing in a heavy shower DH just watched me!!!!!
Belfast has been hosting the Fleadh never seen so many people in town.
A great success musicians in every corner of the city.
Going now to catch up on housework.
Take care everyone.

'Love the crocheted flowers. What will you make Marzipan?'

I think I'll use them to cover a footstool but failing that I'll give the finished thing to my favourite charity shop, frequented by students.

Good morning, Michael12 and all!

Yesterday evening, after I finished stuffin' my face at Passage To India, I had to go to Spar for washing-up liquid, and I was also leapt upon by these doughnuts!

I'm sitting outside the shop on a work break now, scoffing them, and they're gorgeous! At home, I'll scrub off the stickers and put the cup on the windowsill in my home office and fill it with paperclips, cork board pins, etc.!

When I was paying for the 2 items, for a few seconds I got tangled up with getting out my Spar Rewards card from my purse, money, and putting the card back in while holding the purse, and dropping the change into the animal rescue container, so I put it down on the counter right in front of me to get sorted.

I always keep my purse in my zipped handbag, then at home I immediately put it in the zipped canvas wardrobe as soon as I get in. Last night, about 10:30, I woke up fast thinking ''I've left my purse on the counter!'' I jumped out of bed and unzipped the wardrobe, and straight to my bag - where it was snuggled in!

Ethan was serving me, and if I'd have walked off without it, he'd have grabbed it and run after me.

I watched YouTube's Britain's Forgotten Monuments: Murder Stones. Past and Curious channel. This one is from 1786. Surrey. Fascinating!

Back to the till for me!

See you all on Monday!
