Good Morning Tuesday 20th May 2025

Good morning from N. Bucks .
Yesterday DD3 called round with youngest DGS, he wanted to show me how he can now ride his 2 wheeler bike and his medal from the Colour run that they took part in on Sunday. He was so excited about it all.
Today I need to pop down to town for a bit if shopping and pick up a prescription
Later I’m going to a musical afternoon with several friend.
Hope all goes well FGT
A good day wished for all.

I don't post a lot but just to wish the fgts all the best this morning. You are one brave lady. Thank you for keeping us updated.

Good morning from a sunny Algarve. We did a 6 mile walk yesterday and then flopped to enjoy the afternoon sun. Today we collect the car and will venture out along the coast further for a coffee and stroll. We are enjoying a week of peace and quiet before DD2 and the little ones arrive. We are so looking forward to them being with us even though I have to then get in the pool with them and be splashed😂

All the very best today for the FGTs hope everything goes well.

Have a good day everyone

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey cloud with another warm sunny day forecast
Beautiful flowers Ash so kind of your DS
I’m off to the gym for a couple of classes this morning, there’s a 40 min gap between the two classes so I usually go for a quick coffee with a few of the ladies and catch up on the news. Tesco later snd then home for a bit more gardening
Hoping all goes well today FGT
Lovely picture Roses and well done with that hill!
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning all from a sunny Black country, it tried to rain yesterday evening after a few drops it gave up so it was back to watering the garden ourselves.
Local shops again via walk through the park will call into Iceland for a few bits as it's 10% day.
Lovely flowers Ash .
Thoughts with the FGTs hoping all goes well with the procedure.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans and may you all find some ☀️.

Don't post a lot but wish the fgts best wishes for today. You are one brave, strong lady. Both in my thoughts today

Good morning from an overcast NE.
The heating is on so I am assuming it is quite cool.
Hairdresser coming this morning and nothing else is planned.
DD returned home to Brussels yesterday, I am missing her already.
Sister rang from Germany and was on the phone for nearly 2 hours yesterday afternoon. She is planning a six week visit to the UK, I am surprised that she can manage it as her broken neck is still not properly healed.
Thoughts are with FGTs.

Good morning from a sunny Suffolk where we have still not had any rain for,must be,at least 4-5 weeks.

I am going out for lunch with a dear friend whose birthday is tomorrow. Her choice( and one Gingster knows well ) is the cafe on the beach at Dunwich. It should be quiet and peaceful today,unlike half term next week!

It’s such a lovely spot,with a walk along the beach or the cliff top with the ruins of Greyfriars Abbey and grounds visible.

So thoughtful of FGT to update us on Himself today and hoping that all goes well at the Christie.

Good morning from sunny Corfu.
Nice day yesterday in Corfu old town and bought a scarf printed with a Degas painting Dsister bought a Klimt.

Took her to the airport and returned for light meal and early night.
Around the pool today with novel and a little sketching. I have written a few postcards but I used to send lots and enjoy writing them.

I’m missing my little cat but there are lots of cats here to take my mind off her.
Thinking of the FGTs and lovely photos.

View from my room

Good morning from a bright Black Country.

Lovely day yesterday on a trip with u3a. Welshpool, then canal trip.

Appointment at Surgery today for my 'long term condition' Asthma. So I will walk down later.

Then the day is a blank canvas with which to paint.

Thinking of the FGT's today, and hoping the procedure goes well

Good morning from a sunny Essex coast.
Club admin to tackle this morning along with some ironing.
Thinking of the FGT's, hope all goes well today.
Enjoy the day everyone xx

Good morning from s somerset, sunny and warm today

I overslept, I spent an hour last night looking for 2 tiny 18ct gold studs that I wear night and day to stop ear holes closing.

I asked my husband as usual when I lose something and 5 minutes later found them in a drawer, which had been open and they were in the tiny dark side join by a tall box. It happens all the time since he died, I have always found anything I lost, even once a tiny allen nut that had fallen into gravel

I will be making bread for the week today and compacting some freezer drawers, the gooseberries will be ready for picking soon and there are very many, again enough for a year. I do need to cook them to take less freezer space

The waistband is done on the skirt and it is hanging on my dressform so I can decide on the length later today. I may take another inch or two off, going to be tricky to get a nice hem but hanging will even out the fabric which does not happen to drapey heavy viscose when flat

Thinking of FGT and sending lots of good energy to get safely through this next stage

Good morning all .
Firstly , hope all goes well for the FGT’s. Thoughts and prayers are with you both.🙏.

Yesterday was a good one - Dd and I walked little pooch around Rayleigh Mount which is a small nature reserve in town - the flora and fauna all looking its best , so peaceful and restful.

Dd took lots of photos of the abundant wild flowers.

The new occupational therapist came and another lovely chap he was. He’s going to enquire whether he can take Dh for a short fishing session. The young physio is already asking if he can take Dh to the putting Green at the golf club. They can’t do enough for him.

I took Dh to the local fields and he walked a little way with his rollator. He doesnt like it and feels better just with a stick. He doesn’t persevere with things ie hearing aids, etc.
We then went to the local shops and was greeted like a long lost friend.

Enjoy the day 🌼

Morning from a sunny S Hants. Voluntary phone was very quiet yesterday, quiz fun as always.
I need to plant on some busy lizzies and petunias, changing the soil in baskets and pots, doesn’t look like we’ll get much rain in the next 24 hours.
My very best wishes for you both today FGT .

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 10° and cloudy. FGT best wishes to your dear man (and you) for today. I hope his procedure goes well and helps him. Ashcombe your flowers are beautiful. Roses that's quite a hill! Hollysteers a lovely view indeed from your room.
Yesterday passed without incident. I did almost nothing except read. The Amazon man brought my new coffee machine and I asked him to please put it in the kitchen as I'm not supposed to bend. He hesitated then did it. Apparently they're not supposed to go inside. In the afternoon we had a tiny shower which barely wet the ground before it vanished.
Today will be just as quiet as yesterday. I need to start building up my energy levels or I'll be wiped out when normal service resumes! Some gentle pottering in the garden this morning and watering pots. Dd is bringing a lovely homemade curry for my dinner later on. I have books to read and things to watch on tv. I also suspect a visit from a friend will happen. She just turns up and doesn't let me know beforehand. I might make gingerbread - the sticky sort. Have a good day all

Enjoy that gorgeous fish and chips Liberty. I’m soooo envious!

Good morning from sunny Shropshire.We had rain overnight🥳

Another day at home today.DH tripped on broken pavement on Saturday and bashed his head which has really shaken us up, me more so strangely🤷‍♀️luckily DD2 and SIL were with us to offer support and check him over.

I had a long chat with the diabetic nurse yesterday who surprisingly is very pleased with me.My bloods are slightly elevated but apparently the new medication I am on will have caused this.A few more tweaks to my diet should help🙄

Thinking of FGT and himself today.

I hope Marydoll is starting to feel better🙏🏻

Beautiful flowers Ash and lovely photos Roses and hollysteers.

Wishing everyone a good day🦩🌻

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
My long post vanished I pressed post but forgot to wait till it went pink!
I was in your part of the world yesterday Grandmabatty on our U3A walk and felt that brief shower during our picnic bear the Kelpies.

Later my solicitor came to discuss my building plans. He sounds cautious like my own DC but understands my need for a project.

I hope the op goes smoothly today FGT 🙏

Lovely flowers Ash and views Holly

I hope everyone has a good day whatever your plans.

*Near the Kelpies, not bear. But my friend in Canada posted a photo of a bear at the bird feeder.

Grammaretto The Kelpies are lovely, aren't they? It's a nice park to walk through although it does get busy.

Morning from South Lanarkshire, off early today but want to send good wishes and 🙏🏻 to the FGTs x

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton, hopefully staying fine all day.

Slept till 8am this morning, and have just started the washing machine off with the bedding after changing the bed yesterday.

I got quite a few things done yesterday and felt satisfied. Went to yoga, had coffee afterwards with a group from the class, washed the towels, tidied the kitchen, and dealt with the cats' litter tray. Then after lunch planted up the geraniums I bought on Sunday; now the pots will look welcoming by the front door. After that changed the bed; still on my spring duvet (7.5 tog) and decided it's not warm enough for the summer one just yet. Then made a chicken stew in the pressure cooker using the left over chicken from Sunday.

Early lunch today then out to join my walking group this afternoon; I think I may take it a bit slower than usual, as I am out of practice!

No cooking today, just reheating the left over chicken stew from yesterday.

Thinking of the FGT2s today.

Wishing all a pleasant day.

Good morning from cool South Lanarkshire. Yesterday also started out cool and breezy but we had warm sunshine by the afternoon.

I was quite the domestic goddess yesterday and ticked off several tasks from my list. Daft dug had a lovely time with her groomer and will be much more comfortable without her thick fur coat.

Charity shop today and possibly yarn group this evening although I may give it a miss as I’ve a couple of things to do.

Beautiful photos this morning.

Sending good wishes to the FGTs and hoping for a good day for all.
