Good Morning Sunday 6th September 2026

Good morning from Malta where it is still dark but we are promised a sunny day with a high of 37°C.

Had a lovely day out wth my pal yesterday. We had a leisurely stroll around the shops, bought a couple of things to wear if it ever gets cold and stopped a couple of times for coffee.

It was after 2pm by the time she dropped me off at home, via a very convoluted route as most of the roads in our village are closed off for the annual festa celebrations and activities.

I made myself an M&S toasted tea cake (which was on offer at half price) then promptly fell asleep until 5.30!

Watched quite a lot of tennis. Some exciting matches with a few surprising results.

I really must do some laundry and cleaning today (my grandmother would be horrified as it’s Sunday) then I’m having my treasures for a sleepover. I’m hoping they will go to bed before Alcaraz’s match starts tonight!

Hoping Grandmabatty will see someone about that pain. My daughter had to have her gall bladder removed as an emergency as she had ignored the pain for too long.

Wishing you all a good day. Can’t believe it’s Sunday again already.☀️

Good morning from a clear Bristol.
I have uncharacteristically only just woken up! I was very tired after yesterday’s goings on.
First thing, as I was getting ready to go to various shops by bus, a friend turned up with a plug for me. He kindly changed it; the earth nipple/whatever had broken and I couldn’t use my standard lamp.
A rush to sort myself up for the bus to get my glasses straightened and a few bits and pieces; a second bus back to Waitrose, where I needed to add tokens for Flamingo Chicks to win this month’s £1500. Iris has and still is benefitting from their activities. Sadly, I think it’s going to the local dementia charity.
Straight on to church where I had a nice little sit down and chat, after sorting out the jams - note to self, I need more regular marmalade.
Straight home for a mini rest, quick lunch and off to the other village for the annual show. The WA had a stall - jewellery, books, jigsaws. I stayed for two hours then came home to finish the mincemeat - 21 pots, which then needed washing, and labelling today.
I was just sitting down to eat when SiL turned up with my new microwave oven. The other has started to shed “ceiling” paint all over my food; not a good idea.

Posted too soon.
I finally sat down to eat and watch the box. Went to bed early and slept an unheard of 7 hours. My normal night is about 5.
I hope bellas that this final Saharan heatwave ends soon, that gmb is in less pain, that madeleine’s cellulitis gets improved treatment, and that the others I have missed are better.
Have a blessed Sunday ➕. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Hereford
We are moving on today to Haverfordwest

We have had a lovely time in Hereford. The cider museum was especially interesting
Yesterday we went to Builth Wells. A huge antique fair at the Welsh showground, to say how big it was I bought very little.
I have to be very selective these days trying to cut down on my clutter.

We will stop off somewhere on the way. Maybe Trago Mills in Merthyr Tydfil. When the children were young we used to go to Trago Mills in Cornwall . If you’ve never been it’s a weird and wonderful place Our kids loved it, as I did too. It was like a treasure trove of everything you may need and lots of what you didn’t too. An eccentric man owned it then. He was very forthcoming in his political attitudes and made it known to his customers what they were. I do miss these individual shops with their own personalities. Everything is the same now.

Take care everyone
