Good Morning Wednesday 14th October 2026

Good morning from Bristol. Dark, but haven’t looked out yet.
It absolutely bucketed yesterday, about 30 minutes before I needed to walk to my Spanish class. I really didn’t want to get soaked and was debating how to get there. Blow me, if “the switch” turned off and I went in bright sunshine, albeit with strong wind!
In the afternoon, my neighbour and I waited for 25 minutes for th3 podiatrist to turn up, we gave up and he went home (next door upstairs). No sooner had I just settled into starting to boil the quince stuff, than she turned up! Called the neighbour and we proceeded as normal. She hadn’t checked her diary and assumed her appointment was 30 later!!!. Many apologies.
I finished the quince jelly later, got the washing in and read.
Today,I’m rather busy as I have morning prayers and FAB cafe in the morning, the library book group in the other village, where I shall also get cash from the building society.
I need to pack my case for tomorrow. DD is taking me away for a couple of days. As our relationship has always been a bit “eggshelly”, I am a teeny bit anxious.
I must wash and label the quince jelly and also need to prepare for a very busy weekend and week again.
Hope you have a good Wednesday. Do a random act of kindness. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a dark and dry part of La Sarthe. Yesterday was rather humid at times but mostly dry.

I was glad to manage a short walk in the garden. Following my tumble out of bed yesterday morning, I have a huge bruise on my elbow and a very tender place on the side of my head. The bed here is quite low and being asleep, I must have been quite relaxed when I fell. It could have been much worse. Thank you very much for the many kind messages posted yesterday.

A break away from your busy lives will be a real tonic for you and your DD, grandMattie. Safe travels!

Happy hump day, everyone! 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning from s somerset, sunny and windy today

It was a wonderful day for drying outside yesterday and my large rotary line was very full, it was all brought in and either put to air or put away. All done for the week now, it was a tiring job

Bread made and a pattern cut out for pyjamas, I need to boost my nightwear for winter and I have ordered bamboo jersey for those

Today, well I don`t know, probably a walk and perhaps a bit of tidying in the garage, best done while the weather is warm

You were very lucky Ashcombe I am glad you are on the mend

Good morning everyone from a still dark Lancashire.

I've had a better night's sleep and my head feels less cottonwoolly so hopefully a better day ahead. The little chap was very sweet and kept wrapping me up in one of his blankets yesterday.

This morning we will go to Toddler Group and then have a quiet afternoon.

That sounds like a very busy day, GrandMattie.
My tactic with my Mum was to have a book or magazine or crossword puzzle to be absorbed in for times when I sensed she was spoiling for an argument. We could be having perfectly lovely day together, but she frequently got the wrong end of the stick or took an innocent comment the wrong way. No matter how I tried to avoid annoying her, I invariably did!
I hope you and you DD have a lovely couple of days away together and it goes smoothly.

Going to try to get a bit more sleep.
Sending get well wishes to all who are feeling under the weather.
Wishing you all the best day possible. 🌻
