Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast with a high of 36°C.😎

My hairdresser was very busy yesterday fitting us all in before she had to go back to the hospital to visit her daughter.

The operation went well, the surgeon is the same one who operated on Princess Eugenie, and he has brought his entire team over with him, including nursing staff. My hairdresser can’t praise them enough and feels her little girl is in safe hands. She still has another surgery to go through next week.

In the meantime, my hairdresser has her own appointment with a surgeon on Monday to discuss the next step for her colon cancer treatment. I admire her so much, she’s not at all self-pitying, just her usual sweet self.

I’ve got my treasures this morning as DD3 has things to do and I’m only too happy to have their company.

Last night as I was on my way to bed, the second cockroach of the year was sauntering into the living room. I took off my shoe to hit it but he was quicker than me and took refuge under the sofa. I had to spray the area but couldn’t see it. I found the corpse this morning and will have to get pest control to come and spray as I can’t bear the wretched things.😰

Loved the dog photo yesterday Marzipan, also your ‘Foxy whiskered gentleman’ merlotgran. He looks right at home !

For some reason I’m having to log in to GN every time on my phone when I never used to. I don’t know what I’ve done but it’s so annoying.

Anyway, wishing you all a good day whatever you are up to. Safe travels to FGT and any of you who are on the move.🤗

Good morning, Mick. I hope you enjoy your trip into Bicester and have a pleasant chat with your friends. The weather sounds a bit gloomy, but watching some cycling later with a well-earned beer sounds like a great way to spend the day. After a relaxing day, maybe even trying a fun game like Ragdoll Hit could add a few laughs to the evening. Take care and have a lovely Saturday!

Good morning from Bristol. This erratic weather is getting me down. The wind, real wind not a gentle breeze, is what I don’t like. Today will be windy, up to 40 mph, and wet.
My Spanish class went well yesterday, but there were only 3 of us. The class is definitely closing down and I must try to find another, not with the tutor, sadly.
There was a fire truck when I got home. Much speculation as to why. Turns out that the previous night’s power cuts had caused someone’s alarm system speaker to go funny. He called them, they called the fire brigade…
Quiet afternoon spent sewing, I’m not sure why I made so many patchwork squares and am now puzzling how to use them all!
Today, church coffee. I’m not sure if I’ll go, if the weather is too horrible.
I hope fgt had a good journey home, ditto other travellers, may you have a peaceful day. 🐦‍🔥Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from very wet and grey s somerset

Yesterday was very positive, lots done with music on from the playlists I put on ipod, very many years ago. The sound is lovely and music so varied, the ipod is permanently in my old BoseSoundDock.

My windscreen wipers needed replacing so I did that. I just get on and do these jobs that become extra to a widow, no-one but me so I don`t think about it, I just fit these jobs into my day and spend far less time on cooking instead

Spinning and plying are finished and everything was put away. I felt my head nodding after tea so I went to the allotment. Hardly any weeds to be seen on my plot and I came back with a punnet of plump ripe strawberries. It was very windy up there

The rain and bleak day have decided my day for me, I will be staying in and I think I am likely to sort through another drawer or two. I am already at the stage when I could combine two cupboards into one in my living room but I won`t, I like them both and anyway cosy lamps, a SoundDock, plants and a tv stand on them
