Good Morning Friday 11th July 2025

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from an already very warm South Yorkshire. I had excruciating cramp in my legs last night and it took ages to get rid of it. I am off to the Antrim coast for a week with DD and the menfolk today. I’m not looking forward to the journey but it will be lovely to spend time with them. I gave the garden a good soaking last night and will do so again this morning before it gets too hot. Goodness knows what it will look like when I get back, as rain seems unlikely☹️.
Have the best day you can folks.

I hope the treatment works, RosesamdLilac; the condition sounds most unpleasant especially in this heat.

Bon jour from a warm and sunny part of La Sarthe.

That must be a relaxing occupation, Mizuna!

After reaching DH's home yesterday morning, we spent the rest of the day unpacking, easily finding places for the various food items we had brought over but less successfully with the numerous locomotives and other model railway kits which now adorn the dining room table.,,,,,!

Before lunch, I caught up on sleep for an hour and we've managed to sleep for eight hours overnight which is rare. No doubt food shopping will feature today then DH will be back on his lawn tractor to finish mowing the weeds which inevitably survive drought when grass doesn’t.

Wishing everyone as good a day as circumstances allow. 🦩🥰🇫🇷💐🦩

Good morning Mick and followers, another bright start here in south Glos and a very hot day is forecast.
I am about to take the dogs out then get the housework done before it gets too warm.

I eventually saw a doctor yesterday about my horrible rash. He thinks is photosensitivity to the sun, triggered by a plant or something I have touched, and cheerfully told me it’s the worst he’s ever seen and very likely to reoccur.

So I have strong antihistamines, steroid cream and, because it looks like it’s causing cellulitis (my lower legs and forearms are swollen) also double antibiotics.
It’s very uncomfortable and I’m being a right misery 🙄😵‍💫
I honestly have no idea what’s triggered it, I haven’t bought any new plants or picked anything when dog walking.
I’m hoping it clears quickly but I have to avoid the sun completely or cover up from head to toe.

I will do some painting today, my craft room is cool in the mornings, and enjoy listening to an audiobook.

Hugs to anyone who needs them x

Good morning from Cornwall where a hot day is forecast, of course. I'm off to dismantle Lego at a mid-county library this morning, then back to my son's nice cold house before meeting my youngest grandchildren's at their school's summer fair. Hopefully my son will take over childcare at 4.30 so that I can jump on a bus home and get away from the heat!

The pic is last week's creations. Seems a shame to dismantle them but there isn't an endless supply of Lego.
