Good Morning Thursday 15th October 2026

Good morning from Morecambe Bay. It’s dark dry and mild out there. I know this because CDog wanted out. The weather later could be wet according to last night’s forecast.
A poignant day GMattie but hopefully you will enjoy Exeter. When I visited with DS2 we were treated to a very informative conducted tour.
I’m glad your meal wasn’t too ruined Ash but the vision of the chaos brought a smile to my face.
Today will be a home day for me. We had a delivery yesterday of a set of wheels to replace broken ones in the shower, so that’s today’s main job. I suspect it will be a four handed job!
Take care everyone 🌸

Good morning everyone from a still dark Northampton; a dry sunny day is forecast. Up at this ungodly hour as I need to get an early bus into town for an opticians appointment; I have my 4 week check up after cataract surgery. If I have time afterwards I may be able to pick out some new glasses today; if not it will have to wait until I return from holiday.

The cats are being collected for their holiday at the cattery after lunch, and then I am invited for coffee at a neighbours - she is having my keys while I am away and will keep an eye on the house.

Moussaka from the freezer for dinner tonight.

Wishing all a pleasant Thursday; grandMattie hope your Exeter weekend goes well, have a lovely time.

Good morning from mid-Wales. Still mild and dry although rain forecast later.

My relative is feeling much better today so I'll drive us out on a trip to the local yarn shop then coffee and cake in a cafe. I've also got to buy some fresh fruit. In the afternoon I'll bake a ginger loaf for tea.

Wishing all a happy Thursday.

Good morning from a dark but dry corner of the Sarthe.

Safe journey to Exeter, grandMattie, which is one of our favourite places to visit when we’re at my home. There are some good eating places near the cathedral which is worth a visit although there is an entry fee. A poignant day for you so it’s good to be with your DD.

Last night, DH cooked a delicious salmon meal with oseil sauce, rice and spinach. Unfortunately, a bluebottle threatened to land on it as he dished up then ended up in his wine! Sacre bleu! The last straw was when a piece of the salmon landed on the floor! Nevertheless, the meal was delicious!

Wishing everyone a good day!

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is currently 14 degrees. After my marathon sleep on Tuesday night, it was back to my normal pattern last night, hence I am here early.

Writers group was fun yesterday, and on the way back to the car I spotted a sweater I liked in Next so it came home with me. As I seemed to have developed a habit for impulse busying, it may yet go back!

Walking group this morning. Not sure what the weather is going to do today but hopefully it will stay dry.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Bristol. Haven’t looked out yet, but assume it’s dry. It certainly is dark and mild…
Today would have been our 49th wedding anniversary. We were both “old” when we met and married.
I had such a full day yesterday and was very tired by evening.
I did all sorts of bits before going off to church, including lending my little heater for the estate coffee morning, which, of course, I couldn’t attend.
FAB cafe went well although not terribly well attended. A lady came to look around and decide whether she wanted to be a replacement to my friend, who’s moving away in a fortnight. She says AgeUK is starting a new FAB cafe in her new area, and expects she’ll be running that one.
Rushed home for a bite and went off for the library book group. I stopped at the building society for cash. The poor cashier didn’t have a good time with me. First she counted out £50 more than I’d asked for, I burst out laughing. She looked relieved. Then she’d run out of cheques so needed to”someone upstairs to read her email asking for more”, more waiting, etc. it made me late for the book group.
The book “the ashes of London” went down well, even with one lady who speaks very, very slowly, and is always extremely critical of the choice. I do notice that she never suggests anything. Recently, it’s often been something I’ve recommended
I came back to sort out stuff before going away. DH always liked the house to be clean and tidy before we went away, and it’s become a habit - so cue washing and cleaning!
I’m off around 930 - and, for the curious, we are going to Exeter for 2 nights. As DH didn’t like going away much (except to Paris, where he’d go in a breath), I haven’t been to many British places. We’d rarely even go out on day trips!
Hope this finds you in a good place. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🌹🦩
