Good Morning Wednesday 27th May 2026

Good morning from a dry, bright Bristol, where the temperature is very tolerable.
Yesterday was empty. I saw no one, did nothing, just pottered.
Today, I’ve got FAB cafe. I suspect people will come for the coolness in the church..
In the afternoon, we are meeting with our manager for a “progress report”. The outside painting is still going to start “on Monday”. This has been since the end of last month. Reminds me of the Mad Hatter’s tea party where there is always “jam tomorrow “!
May you have a good day, and enjoy the heat… 🍦🍨
🐦‍🔥 Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning, it’s pleasant temperature here on the hillside in south Glos, I fervently hope it isn’t as hot as yesterday today.
I went into town early for my opticians appointment, all’s well apart from the cataract in my left eye which will need removal in the next year or so.
It was so hot by the time I got home, the house wasn’t too bad thankfully.
Then mid afternoon DH took me to the hospital for the excision of a lesion on my leg. Very quick and painless and I have 10 stitches to be removed in 10 days, there’s a big dressing and I have written instructions on what to do, including redressing it every day from tomorrow. I need to get some dressings today.
Early evening we had a thunderstorm which was very welcome, it poured down for an hour, just as DH went along the road to the fish and chips van. He was completely drenched! They do the best fish and chips I have ever had; they come every week but it’s an occasional treat for us.
I hope you’re all managing in this heat, it’s not easy is it?
Take care x

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast with a high of 31°C.

Yesterday I went to Lidl and Eurospin, bought a couple more geraniums which were less than €2 each. I hope I won’t kill them as they look so pretty. My little front terrace is looking colourful for now.

The boys came after school, both slept on the sofa for a while then woke up and were their usual sweet selves.

DD3 whisked DGS2 away for a haircut so I had the company of his brother which was lovely. He’s a dear little boy and I enjoyed having him on his own as he loves to be read to which isn’t always easy when his brother is around!

I have ironing to do this morning, plus some cleaning. I will walk to the village for a couple of things plus I need the exercise.

Heard from my niece that baby number 3 will be a girl. She already has a boy and a girl. I hope to be able to visit at some point, I adore babies.

Glad your procedure went well RosesandLilac, sounds painful though. Your poor DH getting soaked, but worth it by the sound of it! I do miss British fish and chips.

As to the heat, I suppose I’m used to it after 45 years living in a hot climate. I love it but must admit I’d be happy if it stayed like this and didn’t get as hot as it does in July/August. I still prefer it to being cold though.😎

Wishing you all a good day with thoughts to all who are struggling.☀️

Good morning from Sheffield
I have to tackle the pile of ironing today otherwise I won’t have anything to wear. Fortunately we have air-conditioning in our bedroom so I am in there.
We have a man coming today to jet wash the paths and drive. DH could do it as we have a jet washer, but he always misses bits (don’t tell him )
He will supervise that while I work this afternoon
Take care everyone
