Good Morning Wednesday 23rd September 2026

Good morning all from the Black country.
Toddlers today so a busy morning. Will call in the pharmacy on way back to collect DH prescription, will see about the flu jab whilst in there.
No other plans as yet will see how the weather is and may potter in the garden.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans 😎.

Hope you get some relief soon Karmalady toothache is hell.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
It's pouring with rain with drips coming through the cupula.
My back has been painful overnight.

I skived off house things yesterday and spent the day in Edinburgh. Some essential shoe shopping plus new back pack then to Modern Art 2 for the Gwen John exhibition which I enjoyed.

Gaelic evening class where I feel like an imposter. Some new people seem to be native speakers or at least have DC at the Gaelic school.

Today chiropractor, yarn group and more sorting, chucking and labelling of house contents.

I watched and enjoyed the finale of 70up too UTBB. Some wise words were spoken.

I hope everyone has some joy today. Here is the blue sky yesterday.

How awful for you karmalady you have my sympathy, there is not much pain worse than toothache.
Is there no emergency help for you from GP ore A&E?
It is health related after all.

Good morning from s somerset

Good luck Susan I hope your dental appointment fixes your tooth

My dental pain is terrible, at its absolute worst when I accidentally crashed a top molar onto the bottom molar but I have to eat because of the painkillers. That has happened three times so far and one was an hour ago

Dental appointment tomorrow and I am desperately hoping for some temporary pain relief until I can get to an oral surgeon, soonest appointments for that are either 3 weeks or 7th november. I know about the ibuprofen and paracetamol difference plus how they can be used but I need to factor in eating, to protect my stomach

So long days just now, lots of rest and a one-track mind on trying to break the pain cycle. No-one knows what it is like when I speak to them, I have that old-style stoicism but inside I do feel like wailing

Good morning from Corfu.
A nice morning in Corfu town yesterday and we had just got back on the coach when the heavens opened and we had thunder and light. It had stopped by the time we were back at the hotel. Perfect timing.
This morning we are off in a boat trip to the south of the island and we are promised a good sunny day.(27’)
Thoughts with our poorly and sad GNs.
Wishing all a good day.

Good morning from Stockport.
I can't comment on the weather as it is still dark but we are forecast rain.

Yesterday was gorgeous,sunny and temperature of 24 degrees.
My friend and I enjoyed our fish and chips and then went to a garden centre for coffee
Not thrilled to be greeted by C.....s trees as soon as we walked through the door.
I was so warm that when I got home I changed into pyjamas forgetting Sainsbury's was due between 4:30 and 5:30....

I thought 70 up ended on a good note despite beeing disappointed in last week.

My friend to visit this afternoon I hope she is more cheerful today, she brings me down sometimes.

I hope you all have a decent day.

Good morning from Shropshire.

I missed my exercise class yesterday as I didn’t feel great so had a quiet day at home.

Today my absolute worst.A 45 minute dental appointment.
Later we will collect DGD from school, take her for something to eat and then onto her dance class.

I hope karmalady is in less pain and that Marydoll had a better day.

Thinking of all struggling and wishing everyone a good day🦩🌻

Good morning Micheal and all GN's on this very dark and gloomy morning in North Yorkshire. Cant see a thing outside but no sound of rain or wind so far. I have had a very up and down day yesterday, which ended up , when I got home and got ready to go out to the games night at the local pub, with suddenly feeling very dizzy and things seemed to be going round and round, so it meant that the games were abandoned and I grovelled my way to bed, where if I stayed still ,it wasnt too bad but turning around set it off again Hence I just stayed in bed, watched the 70plus and then went to sleep so woke up about 3.35am and gave up and got up just after 4am!! I seem to have developed an annoying cough too, which wakes me up just as I am dropping off!

The weather was warm and pleasant and so I decided that I would contact the Arts society and go to a talk on Monet and Impressionism and Art. I studied Monet and Degas and have always liked their work, once even watching a rubbish play on tv, as it was set in an art gallery full of his paintings. So I wasnt following the play but just wanting to look at the background! The meeting was being held at Tennants auctioneers in Leyburn. They have a very spacious place there with halls and cafe and display cabinets full of the latest upcoming auctions goods, and there is a Mouseman sale going on so many lovely pieces of furniture on show there.

This years programme looked full of things that would interest me and I contemplated joining for the year, but first wanted to see how comfortable I would find the chairs.Sadly there were very bad for my back sitting for a long time, so that has had to be abandoned! But it was worth looking around. There are some major railway works going on round here and various roads were going to be shut and so forth so on the way back I went a different route and had some lovely views over the countryside, and had planned to stop for coffee but even the cafe was closed when I got there. Decided to carry on home and get organised with a meal and ready for the evening but never left home, due to the bad head. Best laid plans etc!

Today I really must get down to some sorting out of books etc., and make a list that I want the cleaners to do, so that I dont forget it. I am half dreading and half looking forward to them coming, as I definitely need to sort some things out, but just hope that I am still in decisive mode tomorrow, and not dripping about , saying shall I keep this etc etc. So my plan is to be like the spider in the web. I shall sit in my chair and direct them to which cupboard or bookshelf to attack and then will be giving the thumbs up or down to specific things. I am hoping that I shall have a tidier cleaner flat at the end of it, so today I have to make a start on some of the many paperworks that only I can sort out! They are promising us a lot of rain today so that should help keep my nose to the grindstone! I still havent planted the cheap plants that I bought, as my back is not helping, so they might be putting those in for me too!

I have managed to put most appointments and things onto the calendar but my diary has disappeared somewhere and I need to find it and put them all in so that I dont double book myself.Well it is time to creak my way off to the shower and hope it will give me some painrelief, and then I need to crack on with some sorting.

tonight I have whist at the little village, and fingers crossed that I shall feel ok for that. I owe my brother a letter, but the tidying up has to come first. Hope everyone has a good day, I sat and read everyones posts last night, hope today is kind to your all

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where Jupiter is waning in the Eastern sky. The sun is not due to rise here for another hour. We will have a cloudy day.

Yesterday I walked to school and back and didn’t realise how warm it was - I was very tired when I got home. I finally got to meet my year three reading group and they are a lovely bunch - I think we shall rub along okay.

Writers group at the library today. I’ll do a bit of shopping while I’m at the mall. This evening I will ring DS as I haven’t heard from him for a few weeks.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning Mick and everyone from a still dark Lancashire. DH has just left for work.

After a misty start the weather was beautiful yesterday. After my Slimming World group we came home and had a couple of hours in the garden. The little chap loves being outdoors. I'm going to need a properly waterproof winter coat once the bad weather sets in because I suspect he'll be happy to be out rain or shine.

This morning we'll go to Toddler Group. It's well organised and the volunteers are very welcoming and at £2 is a bargain.

I was sorry to hear of your sister's bereavement FriedGreenTomatoes. Even when expected, it's still a shock.

I'm going to try to get some more sleep before the human dynamo in the next room wakes up so I'll wish you all the best day possible. 🌻

Good morning from an overcast Bristol. It’s overcast and a bit gloomy.
It’s the equinox today, so we are sliding into darker nights and shorter day, and the equinoctial storms. Will we get rain? It is still fairly unusual around here.
I was sad to learn of all the difficulties and sorrow yesterday and offer my condolences, sympathy and hugs.
The are a couple of robins singing their little hearts out in the surrounding hedges, plus some dunnocks, also singing loudly. The air is unusually full of birdsong.
The Spanish class yesterday went well. People are starting to talk to me. I walked the 1.5 miles downhill to get there, but rather than wait 40 minutes for the bus/es back, I decided to walk home. Blow me, if, about halfway home, when reaching the bottom of the hill, I didn’t see my upstairs neighbour just getting into her car! She has a fortnightly meeting at her church there. A very welcome lift home!
I missed a call from DS as my phone is on silent, but when we finally “joined up”, I needed to rush off to a PCC meeting, the last with our retiring vicar. Wine and nibbles were served. The meeting was longer than usual, with much tying up of loose ends, etc., so I was home quite late.
Today, morning prayers, then FAB cafe, then I was asked to help put up the final, new curtains for the hall stage. You may remember that the measurements for the whole thing was a disaster and there only were half the necessary new curtains!
Quiet afternoon and evening.
Lots of hugs to all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where it is:still dark. It’s going to be around 28°C today with possibility of thunderstorms.

Yesterday I went to Eurospin and Lidl to stock up on essentials. Neither store was terribly busy which made it easier.

Had a lovely surprise visit from DD3 and the boys after school. They had all had a good first day back.

My appointment with the consultant was ok. He has referred me for tests but doesn’t think it’s anything to worry about.

I’m meeting my friend for coffee this morning so hope the rain holds off.

I watched 70Up last night and found it very moving. Life really is so short.

Thinking of you all and hoping you have a good day with relief for those in pain.☀️
