Good Morning Friday 14th August 2026
Ah dear - why does getting older equate to diminished brain power?

General shop in nearby Waitrose , then usual Friday routine , with cycling on TV later.

Good morning all. Just back from a walk along the Wharfe from Grassington to Hebden. The Old Schoolhouse there really does the best coffee. Weather glorious and the river looked beautiful.
Meeting an old school friend for lunch so that’s my day taken care of
Good morning from sunny Devon, started off misty then turned a bit foggy. Looking forward to an afternoon in the garden now it's warming up. Have a good day all
A late good morning to you all, had intended to be one of the first this morning, as I was up and about at 6 a.m Unfortunately, one or two dizzy spells rather put me off kilter, and so here I am late as usual but what a fantastic morning it is. Cold at first, bright and warmish now with the bees and butterflies gradually coming to life. A bit early, but the lovely poem "OH TO BE IN ENGLAND NOW THAT APRILS THERE". lucky to be here all the time really, just that at the moment the gardens are looking full of colour with the spring flowers. Have a good day
(Actually, wondering now where that saying comes from!)

Google is always worth a visit.
I'm not just a pretty face! 
Fellow Mancunian!
Good morning everyone,
It's a glorious morning here and warming up nicely - will get the rest of my washing dry nicely, I think.
The afternoon tea went a treat yesterday, and seemed to be enjoyed by all, so we will probably arrange another one in the summer.
Today, I must try and get the front grass cut, as it needs doing.
Hope you all have a good day. ?
grrrrrrrrrr graphics don't work here ?

Good Morning from a pleasant bright NornIrn
Good morning. Beautiful day in this part of Brum - well it looks it, I haven't been out yet. Have a good day all.
Good morning from sunny Perthshire, sadly windy and not as lucky as you in Fife Brunette, a calm day.
I could be doing with changing the front wipers on my car Marydoll, probably because I am guilty of using them when I de-ice the windscreen ?
Woohoo, it’s Friday Gilly? Have a good weekend.
Enjoy your glass of wine Annapops. Much needed after a busy day? Slainte
Paint sprayer cleaned, paint purchased, all ready to go as I was planning to spray paint two wicker chairs today. Not a good idea on a windy day, probably end up painting things I hadn’t planned to?
Have a good day everyone
Morning everyone. The mist is still hanging over the trees in the woods here in North Cheshire, but sun expected to break through.
Managed to get my shoe on an injured foot after two weeks hobbling in one shoe and a slipper.
Hope you get out in the garden Silver. Take care everyone and enjoy your day.
Good morning to all GNers. Absolutely lovely day here in Herts, house sparrows happily chirping, lacewings emerging, hardly any wind. Suitably fortified with porridge and berries, and coffee, beds made etc, now off outside for a day working in the garden, DH already out there! Best wishes to all with all your different days and activities, and a speedy recovery to anyone not feeling 100%. 
Good morning from sunny Colchester.
I WILL get to the bottom of the holiday ironing this morning while waiting for a delivery. A walk in the sunshine this afternoon.
Good morning all from a brilliantly sunny Aberdeenshire. The mutt and I are off to the woods again to meet his mates...Yesterday he met a basset hound and it was hilarious watching them play chase.
Had a midnight Whatsapp chat with daughter...she is madly flat viewing in Singapore and didn't fancy the one thirty floors up. Her legs would feel permanently like jelly. She is nipping over to Hong Kong for mid term holiday with the kids...fine for some!
Have a great day.
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Hope everyone has a good day x
Morning Michael, Annie to come, and all from a beautifully sunny Berks. Probably a bit nippy outside, but I am still enjoying my morning tea in bed 
DH is volunteering this afternoon and I shall be shopping and remembering to get all ingredients for a Mothering Sunday fruit crumble, promised to DD.
Thinking of all who are struggling a little. Take care.
Good morning everyone from a very sunny South Manchester. It’s glorious here. Of to the hair salon at midday for a cut and blow. My husband is meeting an ex work colleague for lunch so I’ll be on my tod. (Actually, wondering now where that saying comes from!).
Have a good Friday everybody.
Morning all from a sunny South Notts. Hope all is well. Visiting sister at lunch time.
Good wishes to all who are suffering ill health or recovering from accidents.
Morning Mick, morning All from our misty corner of Somerset. More clearing and furniture moving for us this morning. Hope Friday is kind to everyone.
Good morning All x
Bright morning again after what looks like a heavy dew last night.
It's taken about half an hour to get online this morning and I nearly gave up. There seems to be a repetitive scanning going on and I don't know how to stop it, it's a bloomin' nuisance.
Some phoning today ( PPI ) which I've battled with having been rejected a couple of times when I know full well it was paid. Grrrr, some banks !
Central heating still in limbo so a stiff letter now in order as it's gone on since last September ! I think I've been very patient--------or stupid ! Gee, I'm fed up today, sorry.
Hope everyone else has a more straightforward day 
Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is shining in South Yorkshire and I feel rather lighter in myself than I have done all week. DS and DiL are paying a flying visit on their way down to London today. They are helping one of their children move house this weekend. Glad the boys are better, Kate. Enjoy Wolfie, Kitty! Sturdy is good! Have a good day folks.
Good morning from a beautifully sunny E. Northants. Makes me feel like booking a holiday! Ten pin bowling with U3A this morning. Bowling alley are experimenting with late opening, which means instead of starting at 10 until 12 noon, it will be 11 until 1 pm. Not sure my stomach can last that long! The staff are not happy either, it cuts an hour a day from their wage. Enjoy the good weather everyone while it lasts.
Good morning from a very misty Black Country.
I have to stay in as a man is coming to disconnect our oven and gas hob, ready for new kitchen next week. So it will be a meal out tonight and Saturday 
Wishing everyone a lovely Friday
Good morning everyone. I'm staying with DD1 and 3 DGD'S in Leamington for a few days. The older two are in a dance show on Saturday so lots of rehearsals after school. The youngest, 3 1/2 years old, unfortunately has chicken pox. She obviously cannot go out so we are trying to find ways of keeping her amused. Hopefully we can go in The garden later as it looks to be a lovely day.
Hope you feel better soon Silver.
Have a good day everyone.
Morning Mick and everyone.
My bit of the Welsh coast is foggy this morning though the forecast is for sun later.
Hope all of you have a good day. A quiet one in prospect for us.
