Good Morning Friday 3rd July 2026

Good morning from Bristol; the sky is full of streaky light orange clouds. It won’t be too hot today. No rain. We’ve had a very dry year.

FGT, I hope that you are feeling better today. You seem so robust normally.

I ironed the teatowels and linen tablecloths from Wednesday and was interrupted by a resident bringing me a load of brown trout. He fished them from the river Test near Basingstoke. I lived there in my early marriage before we moved to Kent.

I finished my skirt and used the rest to make DD a tablecloth for her garden table. There was 6 yards of fabric per bundle.

Mr. Teflon emailed me to let me know that an order had finally been put in to remove the pyracanthas hedge at the back of me. Yippee ! It is in a terrible condition; dead shrubs, loads of ivy , many trees (sycamore and ash mostly). I once counted 27 different plants of various sizes in it, including an apple from a discarded core.

Today is quiet, but I’m minded to go to Broadmead to get some ribbon to make lavender bottles. Also, I would like to make some pomanders too, seeing I still have so many cloves!

All the best tonthose in sick bay. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Forgot photos. Skirt and trout in no particular order! 😁

Good morning from Belfast where the temperature is 13 rising to 17 so Alexa tells me.
DH got an egg chair for his birthday it's so comfortable I sat on it yesterday and nearly fell asleep. There was a slight breeze and it was slowly moving.
Today I hope to go to the hospital to visit a lady from church she has got very frail and hasn't been out in a while. She has had a fall hence being in hospital.
Then hope to go to the farm shop and from there to Sainsbury's.
A busy day for me.
Take care everyone.

Good morning from Sheffield
Grandmattie , I love the skirt but not sure about the trout🤣
It looks like another beautiful day today .
Just a normal Friday for me ,working and then coffee with my friend,and then an easy afternoon.
I am crocheting a baby blanket which is proving extremely difficult for some reason. I keep having to pull it out as I have gone wrong. It’s quite frustrating and I shall be glad when it’s finished. I’ve nearly done it.
I hope all went well yesterday Roses
Take care everyone

Good morning from sunny s somerset

Busy day yesterday, I cut insulation and fitted it to 14 window panes from the inside. An easy but tiring job. I definitely did not want to rush this in hot weather. The insulation will come off and can be stored for summers to come

My new iron came; I only ordered it the day before. I was so pleased and have started to make a new caftan, I did the tricky neck plackets last night

I need to walk uphill again today and I have a lamb curry to make for ready meals. Kitchen needs a tidy too and the blueberries are ripening fast, I am about half way through picking them, for freezing

Love your skirt GM and the trout looks delicious
