Good Morning Monday 26th October 2026

Good morning from Bristol, where it’s dry atm.
Yesterday’s church service was not well attended, partly because of the weather, partly because the preacher’s voice is very hard to hear (due to illness/accident?).
I came home and had a cuppa with a neighbour I haven’t seen for some time.
The afternoon was quiet; I started to put the hospice bags together, just the handles left to sew on. I’m not as quick or productive as karma. Besides I don’t have the space to put all the stuff she sews!
Blood test this lunchtime, and as the weather won’t be so bad, I’ll go straight on to Cabot Circus, have lunch and do some shopping. I haven’t been since August and need a few things. My next few weeks are, again, very full and it’s hard to find a free half day.
Lovely to see you back, blossoming. Sorry you’re feeling so unwell, md, but pleased that you seem to be taking things easier. Maybe you’ve been running on empty for so long that your body has told you to stop ✋. I trust your crossing was ok, ash and return home was uneventful. Hugs to those I’ve missed.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning Mick from a dark N Surrey. It feels pretty cold this morning, but I can't hear any wind. Off to the kitchen for a mug of tea and to refill the hot water bottle. I will also click the heating on upstairs.
A sunny windy day yesterday which was reviving after the rainy grey Saturday.
A bus trip to a nearby town midday for an appointment and a walkabout.
Have as good a day as possible everyone.

Good morning grandMattie. You popped up before I posted

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 8° and dry. GrandMattie you are a very busy lady too! HelterSkelter the wind appears to have died down here too, thank goodness. Mick I hope you don't have to wait too long for your scan results.
Yesterday was a quiet day at home. It was still very windy so I stayed safe. I washed the floors and read a fair bit.
Today is early childcare day. So I will shortly head to dds, give the boys breakfast when they get up and deliver them to school for the start of the new term. They've had 2 weeks off. Once home, I'm not sure what I will do. Probably have a nap at some point before going back to the school to work in the library for a little while before collecting the boys and bringing them to my house. Dsil will then get dgs1 for football and dd will pick up dgs2.
I'm going to have them 3 days a week going forward. The other granddad is going to hospital this week for surgery and will be out of commission until January at the earliest.
Have a good day all

Good morning everyone, it’s dry here in south Glos too at the moment. I’ve been awake since 2, no particular reason 🙄
The washing dried quickly yesterday in the strong wind, it was pretty gusty at times.
I had a quiet day, but today I need to get sorted for DS and family coming tomorrow. Luckily I went to Lidl first thing yesterday morning, it was absolutely chaotic at 10am, ridiculously busy so I won’t be doing that again!
I came back and reset all the clocks in the house but the cooker clock is furiously blinking so I don’t know what he’s done to it; it won’t reset even if I turn the cooker off at the wall switch 🤷🏼‍♀️ I will get DS to have a look at it tomorrow.
I had to get my heating engineer friend to sort out the heating thermostat, he’s dared DH to touch it in future!
So, housework, cleaning, bed making and cooking today, I’ll be ready for bed by early evening 😁
Enjoy your trip to Cabot Circus grandMattie, I haven’t been for many years.
Take care everyone 🌹

Good morning from a still and cloudy Herefordshire.

Spent an enjoyable weekend with DD and DGC. I was gifted many drawings, mainly featuring pumpkins and ghosts.

I have a Pilates class today then will go for coffee and cake at a local cafe.

Happy Monday all.
