Good Morning Friday 24th April 2026

Good morning from Malta where a cloudy start is forecast with a chance of dirty rain, sunny later with a high of 23°C.

Thank you for your kind comments about my nails yesterday after the photos eventually loaded!😄

I went out to buy a new light fitting for the boys’ playroom. The huge store had only one other customer that I could see and a shortage of assistants. I found one and asked her for help but she almost shouted at me for interrupting her shelf-stacking and was quite brusque and not much help at all. I hope the one I chose will look ok.

Called at Lidl and bought milk and a few necessities, also a couple of plants. Poor things don’t realise their days are now numbered.

I was so tired after not sleeping well that I had a nap then woke feeling groggy. I wish I could get back to sleeping through the night.

I’ve got my hair today and the boys this afternoon . How is it Friday again already? The weeks just fly so quickly, it scares me to be honest.😰

Thinking of you all, hoping you have a good day, hugs for anyone who needs one.🤗

Good morning from a dry Bristol.
It is chilly at 4C, but will shoot up to 19C in the late afternoon. I find it impossible to know what to wear, changing my clothes at least twice a day. Yes I know about layering, but a 15 degree variation is a lot!
Yesterday went back to its normal pattern: cleaning, t’ai chi, then dinner at DD’s. I had a long chat with DGD about her trip to Paris with her mum. They went to see my favourite “lady and the unicorn” tapestries, which blew her away. DH was quite unmoved by them!
Today, my Spanish classes resume. In the afternoon, I’m helping set up and sort the stuff for a clothes exchange, part of the Eco Fair taking place in the church tomorrow afternoon. I am NOT getting involved in baking, or catering, or serving refreshments!
Hugs to all of you. Have a peaceful Friday. Carpe diem 🦩🌺🦩🦩🦩
