Good Morning Thursday 17th September 2026

Good morning from Malta where the high today is forecast at 32°C. It’s still hot but there was a pleasant, cool breeze yesterday.

I went for my hair yesterday then stopped to buy bread and a few other bits before the boys arrived sporting new haircuts. They are all set to return to school next week.😭

DD3 starts today so I will have the boys today and tomorrow. I have an appointment with the doctor this morning but my son in law is going to come and watch the boys while I’m there to save them having to come with me.

Hoping you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning from Sheffield
I’m awake so early this morning.

We went to our daughters for tea and got back at 8.30. Neither of us could be bothered to switch the tv on and go in the lounge so I had a hot bath and went to bed to read. I fell asleep early and I’ve had my 7 hours.

I am going to the National Arboretum today with my WI. I last went about 20 years ago. It will be nice to see the trees and landscaping now. They do a remembrance service every day. My dad flew a Lancaster in the war and although he came home, so many didn’t. I am grateful for their service and like to pay my respects.

Take care everyone

Good morning from a showery Bristol. The “dark hour” temperatures are starting to feel distinctly autumnal. The equinox is with us very soon.
Yesterday was the usual rush, with morning prayers followed by FAB cafe. The numbers have picked up significantly which is really good, but mean a lot of work.
An amusing thing happened. About a dozen fairy cakes were left, so I offered them to the lady organising the ladies’ meeting in the afternoon.
After a hurried lunch, I was just leaving when a grid came round with a huge bag of Bramleys for jam/pickles. She kingly dropped me off at the meeting.
I walked into the hall to be greeted with”the cakes have disappeared”! Apparently, they had been left in the kitchen, and when she came back, there the4 were, gone…. Not a clue to where, how, to whom.
The talk could have been interesting, but was boring as the lady got a lot of facts wrong. It was about tea. She mispronounced things, calling the ancient Japanese capital “coyote”, saying that Charles II lived in the XVI century, etc. I felt a heel, but when I spoke to the President who hadn’t been impressed, it was vindication. I left soon after as I was exhausted.
Quiet evening, I finished sashing the quilt. All that’s left are the borders. I must start planning the next one…
Today has t’ai chi, a visit to the library on the way to DD’s for dinner, to collect a book I’ve ordered.
May your day be quiet and contented. Carpe diem 🐦‍🔥🦩🦩🦩🦩
