Good Morning Spring Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 2026

Good morning, it’s already 17° here on the hillside in south Glos , another very hot day forecast.
We’ll take the dogs out shortly and then spend the day indoors. Luckily the house stays pretty cool with the windows strategically opened depending on where the sun is. I have fans too.
I really don’t enjoy the heat one bit but I’m very lucky that it’s lovely inside. I will be finishing an embroidery and probably planning the next one! I might set up a half-finished vintage abstract piece I bought online, something very different! I need to get my floor stand assembled.
Take care everyone, I hope you enjoy the Bank Holiday x
🌹

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 13° and sunny. Rosesandlilac your vintage embroidery sounds intriguing.
Yesterday I did little apart from cleaning the windows and mirrors. I had a tesco delivery as well so the fridge and freezer are stocked up.
Last night I had some awful recurring dreams which upset me somewhat. Dd isnt working today so I don't have the boys. It isnt a school holiday here, so I will go to the library and tidy it up. Then home to do some weeding. We dont have the very high temperatures here, so some weeding will be fine. I'll roast a gammon and dinner will be gammon and chicken salad. Have a good day.

Good morning from a bright Bristol. It’s “only” 15C here, but promising much higher temps later.
I was woken up by an alarm around 0320 and realised it had been caused by a power cut. Not normally sleeping well, im assumed I would stay awake, but I went back to sleep and have only just woken up.
Still no power despite the text telling me it had been restored, so l called national grid, who assured me it was back. I checked my fuse box. Duh! The cut had caused a fuse to go, all the lights and sockets…
I haven’t resorted to fans and frozen hot water bottles yet, facing north has its advantages. I do keep curtains and windows shut on the sunnier sides and my front door open for ventilation when I’m at home.
Yesterday was very quiet; it was too hot to go out, so I didn’t. I read and did a spot of cooking. I also managed to sort out my printer which had decided to chew up paper. #proudmattie.
Today, after a shop at Tesco (by car, yay!), I shall get organised for my little tea outside. Bank holidays can be very lonely so I have invited anyone on their own to come for tea, cake and chat this afternoon.
Enjoy this day off and the warmth. 🐦‍🔥 Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning Mick and all 🙋‍♀️

Is going to be warm and sunny here in S E Essex, and I have no plans other than reading on my lounger in the garden.

Enjoy your day folks 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from sunny South Lanarkshire.

A quiet, calm, relaxing day ahead, hopefully. I enjoyed sitting in the garden with my book yesterday and plan to do more of the same today.
Firstly though there’s laundry to be done and a Sainsbury’s delivery is due later this morning.

Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from Malta where it is to be sunny and 31°C.

Thank you so much for the flowers and kind words yesterday.

The Mass was lovely and, by coincidence, was attended by the President of Malta whose grandson was making his First Holy Communion having missed being able to do it last week when his friends made theirs.

I had a quiet day but admit the tears flowed, especially as DD1 had put together a short but lovely video of DH playing with our children, pushing baby DS in his pram, etc. she’d set it to Barbra Streisand singing ‘The Way We Were’, so you can imagine. Lovely to see him alive though, so much better than a photo.

I had some good news from my niece who is expecting baby number 3. It will be grandchild number 6 for my late sister, sadly she never met any of them but she lives on in them.

I have got Milo dog for company today and unless we go very early he won’t be getting a walk as the pavements heat up too much for little paws.

Beautiful photos yesterday Greyduster, at first glance I thought they were paintings.

Sorry your DGD is so unwell Kittylester, no wonder you are worried. I hope all will be well.🙏🏻

Wishing a good day to all. Enjoy the ☀️😎 (or not🥵!)
