Good Morning Thursday 18th June 2026

Good morning from Malta where the high today is to be 35°, the low 23°C and sunny.

Sorry to hear you had such a long journey yesterday Mick. Hopefully a smooth trip today.

The boys were angels yesterday. DGS1 had a new book under his arm, a very large Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs! There are some fearsome looking brutes in it and I wish their names were more easily pronounced! Some of them are real tongue-twisters.

I’ve got my nails this morning, rather earlier than usual so I’m hoping I won’t hit rush hour traffic. Then I have a couple of shops to visit and later I’ll be having the boys again as DD3 has her course to go to.

Wishing you all as good a day as possible.☀️

Good morning Mick and everyone, dull, cloudy skies here in south Glos; yesterday’s rain was very welcome although it was also somewhat cool.
I cleared the ironing pile, usual housework stuff and achieved little else 😁, not that it mattered!
I think today will probably be similar, except I’m going to set up a new embroidery project, I need to tidy the muddle on my craft room table first with a pile of threads to put away. I will happily faff around usually achieving little because I’m the Queen of Procrastination
I do need to brush the Shed floor and look for my thimble that I dropped under the table there.
Anyway, I hope you all have a lovely day, take care 🌹

Good morning from Bristol. It’s overcast but promising to be dry. No wind.
Yesterday went well, although I was very tired by the end.
The FAB cafe went well, 18 attendees including 2 newbies who attend the AgeUk t’ai chi class then come across for coffee.

I left early to have time to have lunch. I had a little over 1 hour, which includes 2x 10 minute walks to and from the church/hall.

I helped set up, sort out the scones, jam and cream. I did most of the fetching and carrying being by far the youngest and most agile. We first sat down to a little picture quiz of various bears. I served tea while there was a second quiz - this one was intriguing as it was nicknames given to monarchs:- sun king, the unready, etc.

The “afternoon tea” of scones, jam and clotted cream (in whichever order) seemed to go down well, although the organisers were tearing their hair out with numbers. The usual - people not signing up, others cancelling at the last minute, other ditto but then coming… everyone seemed happy though.

The hall was needed very soon after our departure, so it was a bit of a scramble to wash up for 30 and tidy up on time, but it seemed to work ok.

I came home with scones, jam and rhubarb (from the vicar’s allotment) where I played lady bountiful to the delight of some neighbours.

May you perform a random act of kindness today- kindness is like jam, it spreads and the little escaped edges are often the most appreciated.

Good morning from Sheffield

A good nights sleep thank goodness. I have discovered Dr Stuart’s Valerian tea. It’s definitely helping me sleep longer. I don’t take it every night, I don’t want to become reliant on it. It’s not the best tasting stuff but it’s not unpleasant. I wake up refreshed.

We have the youngest DGS sports day later . DD is working so we will pop along and be there for him. I hope the rain keeps off.

Then family for tea. I have a lamb shoulder that I will cook in the slow cooker , and tiny new potatoes roasted with chorizo. Some kind of green veg, possibly broccoli and green beans.
I do enjoy cooking different things, they are very appreciative.

Take care everyone

A very early morning all from West Oxfordshire. I’m still in bed and will be for a while.

We are going to see Disclosure Day at the cinema later, we like sci fi. Before then I will make a batch of Coronation sauce for the Coronation chicken I am serving tomorrow. Two of my cousins are coming for lunch. The puddings - iced chocolate soufflé and rich chocolate cake - and rice salad are made but I need to make the sauce this morning and poach a chicken this evening.

The WI talk on Bletchley Park was excellent and very illuminating. It was also good to catch up with ladies I hadn’t seen for a while.

Have a good day.

Good morning from the NE Mids. It is dry with a gentle breeze this morning, quite a contrast on yesterday! No particular plans for today although Mr A is not awake yet so that may change.
Have a good day one and all!

Good morning. It’s dry but dry at the moment and t the forcast says 25 and cloudy so probably a muggy day.
Yesterday’s outing to the Arboretum went well . Lots of walking which I am now feeling the effects of.
My busy day today, art, seeing and choir.
Hope today is good to you all.

Good morning all from a dull muggy Black country.
Toddlers was busy with yet more new mums, came home and had a sleep very unusual for me to sleep in the day.
Today is an Aldi shop and over to friends this evening.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans and may you all find a little bit of ☀️.
