Good Morning Monday 16th February 2026

Good morning from a lovely sunny Leicestershire.

Had fun yesterday playing Scrabble with friends and chatting to DGD on FaceTime as she was on the train going for a trip to the British Museum with Daddy.
Today I must pop to Dunelm and get a heavier duvet for DH as he says he is cold. I think it is more a circulation problem.

I too miss Pantglas’s chirpy posts and thinking of others who are not posting.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Meant to say I am sorry you are not feeling your best Susan.

Good morning from a sunny N.Bucks.
I’ll come back to read all the news as I must walk down to the GP surgery to hand in a letter which I hope will be swiftly actioned.
Lots of bits and bobs today ,maybe an outing to a large warehouse .
Wishing all a good day.

A sunny morning, which always lifts the mood, and U3A meeting to match the sunshine. Enjoyed the company of DS over the weekend and was able to do a lot of listening while he unburdened himself over his complicated life.

Sorry life is such a struggle for so many with deteriorating health a real anxiety. Thinking particularly of Marydoll, Madeleine, Grandma Batty and all those finding normal life so hard.

Good morning from my bit of Leicestershire where it is sunny too but we also have ominous clouds not far away.

We still have DD2 and Co here but she has had a bad night with gall bladder pain and a fluctuating temperature. She is currently on the phone to her gp. At her outpatients consultation she was put on an 'expedited' list for surgery. Watch this space.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everyone from a very bright and sunny 🌞 Northampton; tomorrow is said to be similar so I may well venture out for shopping. Have looked at the forecast and rain for the next ten days from Wednesday......

Not at yoga this morning as my knee is still too painful for any pose that involves knees, kneeling or on all fours, or frequently getting up and down. I shouldn't have gone last week. I shall miss the coffee and chat afterwards.
So I shall clean my ensuite, check for any.health essentials that I might need for my holiday, and strip and change the bed.
Reading/knitting this afternoon.

I ventured out for my opera concert yesterday afternoon, and luckily the heavy rain had stopped. It was very good and I had an excellent seat. Mainly Italian and French opera and the orchestra (the Royal Philharmonic) soprano and tenor soloists were very good. I had been hoping for some Mozart, but no luck. Unfortunately the lady next to me insisted on tapping and beating to the music through most of it and it was all I could see out of the corner of my eye - very distracting and I felt like grabbing her wrist in an iron grasp!

I had a roast gammon dinner yesterday so today it will be ham egg and chips, one of my favourites! And a ham sandwich for lunch.

Wishing all a pleasant Monday and hopefully more good news for those suffering on the health front.

A very late, for me, good morning from a bright, breezy, dry Cornwall where I've been distracted feeding the robins, gull, squirrel and blackbirds on my patio.

A poignant day yesterday as my eldest son and I went looking for the place where my mum grew up, on the north Cornwall coast. We found the site of her original home, right next to the sand dunes she used to tell me about.

At one point we went to quite the grimmest car boot sale I've ever seen, in a leaky, smelly barn! Later I ventured home and last of all watched Gisele Pelicot's interview on TV. What a courageous woman.

Today I must source some new boots in another town and will see what our new bus timetable involves.

Good morning from a dry NE, sounds breezy though.
SIL visited yesterday and we had dinner together, pork medallions were disappointing, they were quite tough but all the vegetables were delicious.
He left at 8pm so he could talk to DD in Brussels because of the hour time difference.
DD is enjoying her new job which involves animal health. Her previous job was in health and safety of detergents but the employer was dreadful and her health suffered as a result.
Today is a quiet day of tidying around.
Found out why the police helicopter was hovering for a long time on Saturday night. A pedestrian was killed by a hit and run driver on the main road just beyond our estate.
Good to hear Marydoll's DIL is able to get out of bed, that is progress.

Good morning from a damp northwest coast. With DD to a light show here in the evening. Very busy and effective. Good for the town, pubs and restaurants busy. We had to queue and DD stopped someone pushing in. A free event.

Back home to roast chicken and a quiet night. Today to our second meeting with our new financial advisor fifty miles away. DD is driving, which pleases me.
Thoughts to FGT and all🌺

Good Morning from a wet Co Armagh
It was a beautiful sunny morning when I got up ! But it has deteriorated
Lovely sunny day yesterday
I’ve lots to do today , but not the inclination, it was hard parting with the duvet !
I’ll put a wash on , it will dry on the clothes horse
Wishing us all a pleasant day

Morning all from West Lothian. A very late start this morning 😳. I had great plans to get up early and go for a swim but they didn’t materialise. I woke up at 5am this morning feeling irrationally anxious (not sure what about but it was horrible) and when I I eventually got back to sleep that was me till about half eight!
The weather here looks to be bright and sunny which is a welcome change from yesterday, which was just horrible. We went through to Glasgow to babysit for 5m old DGD (2nd time we’ve done it) to allow DD and her husband go out for brunch. We were treated to a ‘poonami’ 😳 which involved a full change of all clothes! Some of it even got on my jeans and new jumper. Despite that, it was lovely to see them all.
Today I’m off to visit my oldest friend who I’ve known since we were in 1st year of secondary school.
Thinking of everyone who’s unwell and pleased to hear about your DIL’s progress Marydoll

A late good morning from me 🙋‍♀️

I took a sleeping tablet last night as I was exhausted and hadn’t slept well for what seems like forever, consequently I am late and rushing around like a headless chicken 🤷‍♀️

Will catch up with your posts later (hopefully)
