Good Morning Saturday 16th May 2026

Good morning from Sheffield
I’m early this morning!
I have not much on today at all. Just pottering, a nice quiet day.
I hope those with struggles have an easier day today
Take care everyone

Good morning from Malta where it looks a bit gloomy at present and a hazy day with dirty rain and thunder is forecast with a high of 24°C.

The tennis was rained off last night, it was pouring down in Rome, so I suspect we are getting a spell of bad weather in the Med.

Had a nice catch up with my pal yesterday, she’s the most positive person I know and is always a tonic to be with.

Milo was very good and I enjoyed his company.

No plans today other than gearing myself up for having the boys to sleep over tonight! They have never slept away from home without their parents, apart from their first two months in the NICU, so I am worried they might not settle.

Anyway, we can but try it! DD3 is desperate for a lie in. DGS1 wakes at 6.30 every day and, whilst I don’t consider it too early, his mum loves her sleep!

Hoping a good day is had by all. ☀️

Good morning everyone from a dawning Anglesey.
Just been reading yesterday's thread as I didn't get chance yesterday.

Happy belated birthday, Marydoll and glad to hear your great nephew is on the mend, Bellasnanna.

Yesterday was a quiet day at the caravan. The weather was sunny so I had the patio doors open all day. We have enclosed decking on 2 sides with a lockable gate so the little chap can play outside to his heart's content.
We have a washing machine so I did some washing. So much easier than the handwashing I used to do with our previous caravan. He loves playing with the pegs ( and hiding them ! 😄)

Today we are driving to Bangor to pick up DH who is arriving by train.
We haven't decided whether to go to Beaumaris or to Cadnant Garden for lunch. We might go wild and do both!

Wishing everyone a good day. 🌻

Good morning from s somerset, grim sky and showers are coming

The allotment calls me first thing, I need to go and take fleeces off, I am thinking that the frost risk is over. After that I will get into weekend mode of not actually doing much a niksen weekend. I have a book to read and can bounce on my rebounder. I will get my walking done at the allotment

The week gone has been very satisfying wrt de-cluttering, several things have been passed on and will be re-used by family and strangers

Even my last crown prince squash has been dealt with, roasted and in the freezer and I have extracted all of its seeds, which are now washed and drying to have available for 2027 growing

I am waiting for a French ceramic bread bin to arrive, it will keep my sourdough fresh for far longer. My starter is very active now and I dehydrated a lot to store, belt and braces situation, I killed my old starter and gave up on making sourdough for too long. There is something very meditative about making my sd bread, always a slow calm job

Cleaning has been minimal this week, just enough and no more, old eyes help me not to see dust anyway

Thought and hopes are with several of you, no names needed

Meant to say the comment about the odds of winning a raffle prize due to more members made me laugh, Gagagran. That's the sort of comment that would be muttered at church.
Several years back one lady was most put out that the hydrangea was chosen by someone who drew an early prize. She reluctantly took something else for her prize but kept commenting that she'd really wanted the hydrangea. Needless to say the hydrangea stayed firmly in the grip of the early winner. 🤣

Good morning from the now usual grey Bristol. We still onl6 have had the lightest sprinkling of rain. And it’s still cold!
Thanks for the wishes for DGD; she reported back to say her exam, which she was dreading, had “gone ok”. 🤞
Our Spanish teacher told us that it was unlikely we would have a class next term as only 5 were attending/enrolled this term. Not sure if I’ll be free on other days for classes. So sad.
The hair salon went well, with one of the three talking her head off as usual. It can become very wearing.
Today, church coffee, then I’m cooking to take something to the church lunch after the PCC AGM. I suspect neither will be well attended!
I was told that our new Women’s Association has 19 fully paid up members and 17 have expressed interest. Not bad for a group ye5 to meet for the first time on Monday!
🐦‍🔥 Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a sunny Leicestershire. We had a lovely day yesterday and hoping for the same today.

Not much planned for today although I must do some admin I have been putting off!

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2° and dry. Karma still a risk of frost here! GrandMattie that's a shame if your Spanish class folds. Bellasnana I hope the sleepover goes well. I don't imagine you will get much sleep!
Yesterday was quiet. I pottered about the house happily and got 3 washes done and hung out.
Today I will go to aldi and do the usual Saturday housework. I'm meeting up with family later for a coffee and I'm looking forward to that. Ds is coming over too as he needs his spare key back for a painter/decorator. Have a good day all.
