Good Morning Friday 19th June 2026

Good morning from Bristol. Here too, we are promised clear skies and high-ish temperatures. The 30s are being saved for next week. These sudden high/low changes are very odd.
DS should be on his way by now, change planes in Nairobi; he told me he would be here late this evening. I shall see him tomorrow afternoon at DD’s.
Yesterday was quiet and productive; I have finished assembling the squares, just the edging left to machine, then hand sew.
My friend who helps at FAB cafe looks after her dd’s little dog. She slipped her harness and ran straight under a car. She is devastated.
Today, I have our penultimate Spanish class. We shall probably go our own ways after next week. According to my fellow students, one of the other tutors is extremely strict, the other rather lax; I’ll probably go for the latter next academic year if I carry on.
I may sit out in the sun this afternoon…
I hope today is a good start to you weekend. Be happy. Carpe died 🐦‍🔥🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Sheffield

It’s all quiet here. I can hear the birds, a magpie, wood pigeon a blackbird and wren, according to Merlin. There’s no cars about yet.

I’m having tea in bed having a quiet hour before the day starts. A busy one , working , then my friend round for coffee.
This evening I’m off to see the Choir of Man musical in the city with my youngest son. We are going out for tea first to a Mexican restaurant. Looking forward to this.

But first the Big Friday clean up.
Take care everyone

Good morning from Malta where it is sunny and the high today is 37°C.

Had my nails done yesterday then bought paint as the painter is coming tomorrow to freshen up the walls leading down to the garages. Technically, everyone with a garage ought to be contributing, but I can’t stand looking at the shabby mess so I’m just going to pay for it myself.

The boys were with me until 8pm, both utterly sweet and no trouble at all.

Today I’ve got my hair, the last appointment for a while as my lovely hairdresser goes in for surgery next week and will then have at least six weeks recovering afterwards.

grandMattie, great news that your son is on his way, hope he has a safe journey. How sad about your friend’s little granddog. 😞

Wishing you all a good day. ☀️

Good morning, a misty start here on the hillside in south Glos.
How lovely to have the your son here grandMattie ,.
That’s so how awful for your friend at FAB to lose the little dog 🥺
Beautiful nails Bellasnana, I wreck nail polish and gels destroy my nails so I stick to DIY clear or very pale polish.
Yesterday was interesting; DH found a wasps nest in the attic by accident and decided to remove it himself……. Honestly, he has absolutely no common sense whatsoever so he got thoroughly stung. I retreated to the Shed after handing him an antihistamine tablet and left him to it after he robustly told me he ‘knows what he’s doing’!
He’s fiddling around with the bathroom light fitting so I haven’t had any light in there for a week, there’s a hole in the ceiling and I’m biting my tongue.
I did have a call from the hospital, cancelling an appointment for next Thursday that I didn’t know I had! That was an interesting conversation. Apparently I will get another, for the lung cancer clinic. Soon. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ We’ll see, I’m not holding my breath.
I’ve given up worrying and chasing, cba any more.
The weather’s warming up so housework today, get everything tidied then back to my Shed. It’s a real pleasure sitting watching the birds, doing needlework and listening to podcasts or audiobooks. Tiddler always joins me, she’s a little darling, such a funny little sausage.
Best wishes to you all x

Good morning from a glorious corner of Essex, blue sky and already 18° with a high of 29° has summer arrived?

I am waiting for the 11yr old to wake up and give his breakfast order, and decide what he wants in his packed lunch.

I am off to the gym earlier today (PiYo) and the I am popping along for a manicure, pedicure and some talc on eyebrows and lashes.

Your nails look lovely Bellasnana

You must be really looking forward to seeing your son grandMattie

We have a flying visit from one of our Aussie contingent this weekend, so much to catch up on.

I think it will be a Chinese takeaway for dinner this evening.

Enjoy your day folks 🙋‍♀️
