Good Morning Thursday 9th July 2026

Good morning, still, cool and very quiet here on the hillside in south Glos.
Yesterday was very meh, I fiddled and faffed around getting little done except annoying myself!
Hopefully it’s my pre-op this afternoon at the hospital appointment, I’m so hoping that they’ll give me a date for my surgery. 19 weeks of waiting is a long time in limbo!
DH has just taken tiddler out for a walk, he’ll take bigger dog to the village when he gets back.
He’s loving the hot weather unlike me!
Best wishes to everyone x

Good morning from a cooler, but clear Bristol. It’s going to be a hot day. I’ve been awake for 2 hours and am already fed up.
Yesterday’s FAB cafe went well with 15 attendees.
The afternoon was hot, but I went to my library book group. I managed to drop my spectacle case with my “light” glasses somewhere, so I had to wear my dark glasses all the time. I felt a prat. Luckily I had a spare pair at home.
I can’t find the case anywhere and am very annoyed as, with all my corrections, my specs are rather expensive to replace.
I probably shan’t go to my t’ai chi class as I have a 10 minute walk each way in the searing midday heat.
Have a good day all. Enjoy the heat, those who like it, stay cool, those who don’t.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from s somerset

Good luck today RosesandLilac

Two tip runs done yesterday and I filled my car up, it is an 18 mile round trip for that but it needed a run. Then nothing much for the rest of the day. Allotment at 6.30 and back by 8.30, the two new blackberries are safely planted now and essential watering is done but I came home hot as I have to carry all the water from a trough

I don`t have anything essential today and will try and get on with crafts and reading. I went to bed at 9 and I can see me doing that again as I am liking early mornings

It feels as though it will be a long and hot week

Good morning from Malta where we have another sunny day in store with a high of 37°C.

Last night’s Michael Bublé concert was very enjoyable. He looked so hot ( in the sweaty sense of the word 😄) in his suit though! There was a lovely cool breeze so DD3 and I felt very comfortable and grateful it wasn't sticky weather.

Didn’t get to sleep until after midnight so thought I might have slept longer but I woke early as usual. I don’t mind. The early morning is s such a lovely time of day here, still not too hot, quiet and peaceful.

DD3 is picking me up after she has dropped the Treasures at summer school, so we will go shopping together. She’s so good to me, bless her.

Later DGS2 has a hospital appointment at the asthma clinic so I will keep his brother at my house. He’s a good little chap and I think he enjoys a bit of one on one time. I certainly enjoy him!

I’ll be thinking of our RosesandLilac today and hoping there won’t be any further delays in getting the necessary treatment done. Sending a big hug, many of us will be with you holding your hand.🙏🏻

Wishing you all the best day possible. Take care in the heat.☀️

Good morning from the NE Mids. The forecast is for another hot day today, the sky is clear and there’s no breeze at all.
We have no plans for today apart from tending to the greenhouse, picking raspberries and keeping well hydrated.
Have a good day one and all!

Good morning everyone from Belfast .
Yesterday went well got everything but it was very hot 27 degrees VERY hot for here.
Haven't been able to sleep I've been up since 2.30.
Washing on the line.
It's GGS birthday soon and I can't think of what to get. Seemingly I have to get a present
Money won't do.!!!! It's usually books .
We had our dinner outside in the garden last night it was like being on our holidays the wood pigeons serenaded us.
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire where 32 degrees is forecast.

I didn’t do much yesterday. We went out for a Steak Night at one of our favourite restaurants. It was all delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the accompanying salad and mushrooms just right. We shared Pavlova for pudding. My only complaint - there were rather rather more blueberries than strawberries!

Nothing much on today. I have to click and collect a new bathroom pedal bin from Waitrose. Maybe a bit of ironing.

Roses - I do hope your appointment goes as planned.

Have a good day everyone and stay hydrated.

Good morning all from a still hot and sticky North Leicestershire.

My volunteer event yesterday was great - very informative and useful.
.
Today I need to collect my medication from the pharmacist and collect a parcel from M&S. I also need to message a friend who is in India caring for her mum who has dementia. My friend is really struggling and getting little help from the rest of the family.

Have the best day possible everyone.
