Good Morning Friday 18th September 2026

Good morning from Malta where we expect another day with a high of 32°C. The forecast has said ‘cloudy’ for the past few days, but it has been sunny with blue skies and just the occasional fluffy white cloud floating by.

I was busy all day with the boys. They were very good and played together well which is not always the case!

SiL had them for an hour while I went to the doctor which meant I didn’t have to drag them with me.

DD3 picked them up at 3pm. They were going to school to meet their new teachers. DGS1 is rather concerned at being promoted to Grade 1 but I’m sure he will settle once he gets started.

I have them again today from 8am and will make the most of it. I feel so down when the holidays are over. I was the same when my own four children were at school, always loved having them home all summer and dreaded term starting again.

One of my nieces in Edinburgh is in hospital being induced with her third baby (a girl). She has suffered from cholestasis in her pregnancies and it had got worse hence the decision to induce her at 38 weeks. I’m anxiously awaiting news.

Wishing everyone a good day. Another week has flown. 😨
