Good Morning Friday 5th June 2026

Good morning from a grey Bristol. Yesterday had sunshine and showers and a vicious wind that could easily have graced February! And, it’s only going to be a maximum of 15C today. When you think that it was 30C-ish this time last week…

Yesterday was quiet, but I was busy with the usual house stuff. I made some more marmalade as most of my stock was sold on Wednesday.

I thought I had found a good new bus route to DD’s, then completely messed it up, so kept to the old one. DD seemed in good form as was the rest of the family; no shouting, no squabbles. FiL came for night as he often does riding his motorcycle. He’s a lovely man.

When I got home, I found out that there had been a power cut but it had affected the estate very erratically. These make my sockets fuse, so for about an hour I was up and down like a yo-yo, resetting everything. It was sorted by the time I went to bed.

Today, I have my Spanish class then I’ll start assembling my patches.

Stay safe and enjoy the forthcoming weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning everyone.
So pleased your eye operation went well, Blue Saphire. Reading your description reminded me of when my lovely MiL had hers done and how the world opened up to her again.
We are pretty much packed up and ready to head off to Anglesey later.
We have to take the little chap to Family Contact in Cheshire and then we'll drive on from there. Fingers crossed for a good run.

Our daughter is joining us from Birmingham this evening. We've never used the sofa bed in this caravan but hopefully she'll be comfortable.

Enjoy your last day in Malaga, FriedGreenTomatoes. You've done brilliantly.

Wishing everyone the best day possible. 🌻

Good morning from Glasgow where there are little patches of blue in the mostly cloudy sky.

I’m waking up in DD’s house after a busy (for DH) evening. He had several drop offs and pick ups to do so spent a good chunk of the evening driving.

This morning he will do the school run while I wait in for a delivery and a painter. This evening I’m taking the two netball playing DGDs to their club awards evening. DD will be home very late then we will get off home too.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning from Sheffield
Just about to get up for the Friday big clean

A friend has told me about the exhibition of the Queens dresses in London. It sounds wonderful so I have just booked two tickets. The first available was 8 November!
We can do it in a day , the train takes about 90 minutes but
I am now thinking of making it into a weekend and visiting a museum too.

Take care everyone

Good morning from a dull and cloudy Black Country.

A lovely 3 hours with Aunt, Cousin and Mum yesterday for lunch. Pubs coffee machine wasn't working so went on to Charity shop Cafe for coffee, then a mooch around the shop. A few bargains were had by Aunt and Cousin.

Today we are off to visit MrJ's DD in Hospital again. Think she is fed up now, and hopefully be home by the weekend. She has been in there since Tuesday last week, won't be able to put any weight on it for another 8 weeks.

Enjoy your last day in Malaga FGT you have done so well.

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning from cool, showery s somerset

The house has cooled, it took a week but I would be able to wear a sweatshirt today without feeling too warm. The plants are loving this temperature and the rain, it is very lush out there.

It was a busy day yesterday, at it like hammer and tongs, same as HelterSkelter, I keep unearthing things that can go. Yesterday it was a big old, heavy Samsung laptop. Undoing the tiny screws took a long time but I eventually dissembled all of it, removed the hard drive and memory cards and thoroughly destroyed them

Next was the electronic cables box, thankfully I had labelled a few and have re-discovered my Sennheiser earphones, very comfy to wear. I don`t need to keep quiet for anyone but the immersive sound is very nice. I am keeping them out to enjoy

Today I will continue on my tidying mission and I want to finally ply my last skein, from this present batch of squishy fluff and then put my spinning items upstairs

Good morning from sunny Malta where the high is to be 33°C.

Mission accomplished yesterday, back to Transport Malta with my documents, a much shorter wait and my new licence will be sent by post.

I then went to Eurospin hoping for plants but they only had a few which looked too high maintenance for me, so I just bought milk, bread and a few other bits.

I’ve been putting my car in the garage (it has only taken me 10 years to get around to using it) and I find it an ordeal every time.

The garages are underneath the building with a steep slope and then the manoeuvring of the car into the narrowest of spaces. I’m getting better at it but it’s still nerve wracking. I curse whoever designed such ridiculously small garages.

It is nice to have it off the street though, and to get into a cool car in this heat.

I have my usual hair appointment today, all being well as my hairdresser’s young daughter had surgery yesterday and has to have another op in the coming days.

Tennis semifinals to watch later. Can’t believe it’s Friday again! Where does the time go?

Wishing you all a good day.🤗

Good morning from Cornwall where it's drizzly with a max of 14° today, lovely.

Yesterday I got halfway on my journey to collect my dad's painting when I realised that the auction house had moved out of town so I had no chance of getting to it from the railway station. My son will drive to collect the painting at some point.

Stopped at a town midway en route and bought some lovely succulents and erigeron - the daisies that grow out of cracks everywhere here. Usually I pluck a fragment from a wall or kerbside and and they thrive so I'll be interested to see how a cultivated one gets on. Had tea and cake in a local café, then turned back and retraced my journey home where I spent time on my patio pottering in the light, balmy rain.

Today I'm meeting a friend for coffee at a riverside café. Later I'll make some pear and ginger cake which I'll slice and freeze for breakfast.

My son took this photo at a supermarket yesterday.
