Good morning from Malta where it’s sunny with a high of 34°C forecast. (Yes, Grammaretto I’m used to it after 45 years and most of us do have a/c, unlike when I first arrived here and there was none in either cars nor buildings 🥵)

Today would have been DH’s birthday and it’s also a year today since my lovely brother-in-law died suddenly and unexpectedly, so I shall be lighting a candle for them and thinking of two very special men who lived for their families.

I have got the boys this afternoon so will look forward to seeing them. They are the best tonic.

I was so sorry to read Marydoll’s news yesterday. We all have to carry our Cross but some people definitely seem to a heavier one than others.

I hope you will have better news of your brother Gagagran. What a worry for you all.

Thinking of you all and sending best wishes to all who are suffering in one way or another.

Photo of my little backyard. Wish you could join me for a coffee, it’s lovely and cool out there in the morning but an oven after noon. ☀️ ☕️

Good morning from a damp Bristol.
The weather seems to have settled in a really wet, chilly and disagreeable morning, then the sun comes out interspersed with sudden heavy showers. I got caught in one yesterday afternoon.
bella, what a lovely backyard. Very stylish and so good to have somewhere for the boys to play.
MD, I hope things are better now, with more help and understanding from the medics, and from your family too.
We had a good FAB cafe yesterday, the numbers are slowly climbing up again, which is good. The coffee cake went down well and there was enough left for Saturday when I’m serving coffee again.
In the afternoon, I had my library book group. The discussion went well but was short, so we talked about the books we have read recently.
I took the opportunity to get some cash from the building society and ink for my printer.
I’ve got the dentist early this morning; I think I’m in for an X-ray. Ouch to my bank balance. Then taichi.
I’m not going to DD’s to dinner as she is area Dean and has a big diocesan synod meeting. Next week.
I absolutely must do my Spanish homework, and watch a video on dopamine before writing something about it.
May today bring contentment to you all. 🐦‍🔥 Carpe diem 🦩🦩❤️🦩

Good morning from Sheffield
I wish it would stop raining. I have two beautiful pink peony plants,you can guarantee that when they are in full bloom we have gales and torrential rain

I have my osteopath appointment this afternoon. I am seeing a small improvement in my back at last. I have had sciatica for just a year now. He said it could take up to two years to recover completely. I should be grateful that it is getting better, a lot of people live with chronic pain

The family are here for tea, a chaotic evening ahead. As soon as they leave at about 8.30 we go straight to bed grin

Take care everyone flowers

Good morning from the NE Mids. Some cloud and a gentle breeze at present but apparently more of the wet stuff later.
Busy morning planned followed by a restful afternoon hopefully.
Have a good day one and all!

Morning from a bright S Hants, rain on the way.
Your yard is delightful * Bellas* a very social space.
Yesterday we had a couple of showers, the podiatrist came and cut my toenails. It’s a job I’m determined to get back to. Mr to the nurse today for a dressing change and I’ve got my annual blood test.
Glad you enjoyed the film * Mick*
Have a good day all.

Good morning all from the Black country.
Haven't been posting for some time don't feel I have a lot to write about as most days seem the same. I do read every day but not until later.
DH has a fishing contest today and I am visiting my friend who moved to Wellington during covid, although we keep in touch it will be my first visit bit apprehensive as it involves train journey not done before.
Was sorry to read Marydoll's news yesterday.
Gagagran hope there is better news of your brother.
Wishing everyone a good day, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed.☀️
