Good Morning Wednesday 17th June 2026

Good morning from Bristol. It has rained through the night and the air feels fresher - less pollen. I don’t have hay fever but have been sneezing more than usual.

Yesterday’s nurse appointment surprised me: the nurse thinks my tiredness is a mental/grief issue. A load of tosh, but I’ve had to make a GP appointment. The end of July!

Today, after the usual FAB cafe, I’m rushing home for a bite, the straight back to the church hall. The Ladies’ Guild is having an “afternoon tea”, which I’ve been asked to help serve, apart from being one of the youngest (at 78?) I’m also probably the most mobile. I’m always surprised at how imperious and entitled a lot of the women are. They forget that, like them, I’m just another member of the group, not a professional.

The residents are incandescent; we have been told that our wonderful, temporary, agency manager isn’t carrying on. So now we are back to square 1. We all suspect that it was because she was too effective, and also wanted the tied house to be cleaned and brought up to standard! Curiously, it is exactly a year since the previous manager retired.
Have a good day all, and those in sick baymove out!

Good morning from Malta where it’s sunny with a high of 33°C forecast.

I walked up to the village fairly early yesterday to collect my mystery parcel from the post office. Turned out to be a gift from my lovely niece for my upcoming big birthday, bless her.

It was very hot even though I was there before 9am so I went to the ATM at the bank then took myself for a coffee in my usual cafe, choosing to sit inside with the a/c as it was too hot outside.

I’ve got my Treasures this afternoon whilst DD3 goes for a facial, so I shall look forward to seeing those little faces at my door. DGS1 is always first with a book under his arm, followed by DGS2 carrying assorted pipes, his lovey and the cuddly toy of the day. They are so different!

I shall do some aerobic exercises this morning as I’ve no excuse not to and I’ve got rather out of the habit of it which is not good.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from a deliciously cool, breezy, rainy Cornwall.

My son and I went to the tip yesterday and the little yellow chap in the photo was sitting next to one of the skips. There are men constantly directing people to the correct skip so that nothing is left lying around but no-one had the heart to throw him away. I think it was his sad face. 🤣 Anyway he came home with me as I know someone who will love him.

I could spend hours watching the machines at the tip and how the whole place is organised but I'm always shocked at what people throw away.

My eldest son is still awaiting the delivery of my dad's painting which I bought for him at auction. Hopefully it will arrive today.

Today I have an asthma review because I'm unusually breathless. Our surgery-based pharmacist booked it, very efficiently.

After that I'll take a bus to my youngest son's flat for pizza and to watch the World Cup England match. My 16-year-old grandson will be there too, which will be lovely.

Good morning from a rather wet NE Mids. My plan to pick some gooseberries will have to change……..I was using that as an excuse to not do the ironing! Nothing much else on the agenda apart from the usual tidying up after breakfast and cleaning the bathroom.
Have a good day one and all!

Good morning from the Essex coast.
I'm sitting here with my first cuppa of the day having been awake since 4.30.
Those thoughts go round and round and I can't switch off.
I have a few phone calls to make, club admin to get on with and ironing to do.
Pasta for dinner then a big football match to watch later.
I hope you all have a pleasant day, best wishes to all xx

Good morning from N.Bucks. Rain overnight here too.
I’m out today on a WI trip to the National Arboretum in Staffordshire., must get myself down to town for 8.45 to catch the coach. I do hope the weather improves or at least the rain stops.
Wishing you all a good day.

Good morning from s somerset, not too warm today, pleasant

I spent yesterday making vegan food and there was a lot of chopping and kitchen stuff to clean up

Today I am going to prep various salads and might do some knitting, I have started another gansey, for me this time

Good morning everyone from a damp Northampton, more rain ☔ forecast later.
Up earlier than usual as I have a dental appointment at 8.30 and will probably have to leave by 7.45 to get there in time.
The cats are bemused by my change in routine!

Yesterday was lovely, sunny all day and no cardigan needed. I did a bit of washing in the morning - still having to carry the laundry out in dribs and drabs as I am still advised not to pick up a heavy laundry basket.
After lunch a visit to the surgery for a blood pressure check, which the nurse was very pleased with.
Then walked to the cafe to meet friends after their well-being walk; and was then offered a lift home which I was very grateful for.

Later today will be off to DD's and thence to our wine club get-together this evening. I will stay at DD's overnight.

Wishing all a pleasant Wednesday.
