Good Morning Thursday 29th October 2026

Good morning from a dampish Bristol - showers etc…
Feeling a lot happier this morning. Yesterday, I was in a towering rage for some unknown reason and would have knifed anyone in sight! I took a load of “rescue remedy” and it calmed me down to my normal, equable temperament.
Having had a bad night, I was very tired for the FAB cafe. I had forgotten that I had asked a very needy lady to help. Once everything was set up, I sent her to chat to people - the reason we exist - then she helped clear up. Perfect solution.
I had a long sleep after lunch which set me up for the rest of the day. I was sewing up those hospice bags, when my dear neighbour called. He needed to let off steam and I’m his choice, bless him. He finds widowhood very hard, poor man.
I’ve now made 8 of these hospice bags; they are enormous at 25” square, and take up a lot of fabric.
Today, I’ve got the delivery and replacement of my cracked hob. No time given yet, which is annoying asi have an important residents’ meeting regarding the signing off of the painting and (some) repairs.
Have a quiet, contented day, y’all. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from s somerset, dry and bright later today

My new second-hand phone came yesterday and what a palaver it was to get everything transferred, especially whatsapp but I did it and felt quite proud of myself afterwards. I have just ordered a protective case for it, I don`t like to see it in its skimpy see-through case which only covers the back, that case was a waste of money

I have a few more fabrics to pre-wash today, cotton twill and a heavy embroidered chambray/denim and I want to make a lentil and veg soup too

Other than that, I will just do bits and bobs
