Good Morning Wednesday 13th May 2026

Good morning from Malta where another hazy day is forecast with a high of 26°C.

The new handyman arrived right on time yesterday and did a good job fitting the new centre light and dimmer switch. He’s going to return to do some painting for me and his charges are very reasonable. I wish I had found him before as I was definitely overcharged for having my bedroom painted and it’s not even been done to a good standard.

I picked the boys up and had them until 5.30. We played outside for most of the time and they were absolute angels. They have good imaginations and make up their own games.

I have an unexpected hair appointment this morning as my hairdresser can’t work on Friday this week due to a hospital appointment.

I’ll be picking the boys up again. DD3 said her friend could collect them but I said I love seeing those two little happy faces coming out of school. They are what keep me going.

Sorry I missed your birthday harrigran, belated congrats and I hope you had a lovely day.💐

Hoping you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning from an overcast Bristol. I doubt we’ll have rain, but I hope the cold wind will die down.
bellas, you are having such a lovely time with your little darlings. It will be such wonderful memories when they are adults, for all of you and are irreplaceable. ash, enjoy your French stay.
I slept very well last night. I had been cold the previous night, so added a blanket to my lighter bedding and was as snug as a bug…
I also was very tired from doing so much. Baked a coffee tray bake and brownies, made 17 pots of orange/lemon marmalade, washed and labelled them. Did the washing, dried on the line and ironed.
The chiropodist came and really gave us value for money as she spent nearly 45 minutes on each of us. My feet feel lovely, but the acid test will be today with the FAB cafe and later the “hill climb” to the next village library where I’m leading our book group. I suggested the book which I had enjoyed but curiously rereading it after a couple of months was hard going.
Have a gentle day all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🐦‍🔥
