Good Morning Sunday 10th May 2026

Greyduster I hope you are ok today after your fall, it is my constant worry now I try to be so careful.
My friend across the road fell in the house about 10 days ago and hurt the bottom of her back but,,,, she is something of a hypochondriac and it’s difficult to know just how bad it is.
She hates being in the house and goes out most days so time will tell how long it lasts.
I think we are shaken up as much as the damage done and confidence is lost.
Just take care.

Good morning from Wiltshire.

DH picked up GCs at 2pm and we took them to Bowood where we threw a frisbee and small boomerang (which didn’t work). DGD3 couldn’t throw the frisbee at all but DGS2 had great spin on his throws. We fed the ducks in the lake. The new swan and duck food we bought recently is great as it floats in the surface of the water. It looks a bit like Rice Krispies. Then we went to look at the waterfall and eventually ended up in the adventure playground. GD is fearless with heights; GS rather less so. The afternoon really heated up. At 1:30 GS came in to my bed as he had had a bad dream but went back to his own at 6:30, annoyed he’d forgotten his charger for his Amazon Fire tablet.

I hope Gagagran’s brother and nephew are both recovering well. I’ve no idea where you get your energy from Marydoll. I hope a solution is found for your DH’s BP woes asap. Your river cruise sounded really good Ash. I’d really like to do one of those.

Have a good Sunday all.

fgt, yes, it’ll be hard, but do what Himself asked. It’s hard but your memories will not fade just because you haven’t got his deck shoes in your line of sight.
It’s early day, but I promise things will get better - just give it time.
Enjoy Malaga enormously, you so love it there! 🤗♥️

Good morning everyone. 🌻
Yesterday was sunny and warm so I took advantage of the weather and relaxed on the patio with my coffee and a good book. After lunch, outside, I took the bus into town.
After looking round some shops I headed for Shrewsbury Market Hall. It's a multi award winning market full of interesting stalls. I think you can buy almost anything in there. It's buzzing with life and enthusiasm.
I went straight to the wonderful plant stall, where I bought three more plants for my new garden. A hosta, salvia and a fuchsia. I'll be planting them later on today.
I also bought a lovely, short sleeve top in White Stuff.
My thoughts are with all who are unwell, sad or worried.

Good morning from Shropshire.A cool start but going to be a dry day.

Yesterday DD1 messaged and said did we fancy going to a nearby NT property for a picnic and walk.We quickly got the children ready and drove them home where we all piled into DD’s car and off we went.DD had made a lovely picnic and we all enjoyed our walk.On the way home DH and I called at the garden centre for coffee and cake.A lovely day.

Today as it is forecast to be the last dry day for a while it will be laundry and gardening🙄living the life!

I’m sorry you had a fall Greyduster.It is a shock to the system.Take it easy for a few days💐

My mum always told us to look up when walking around a town too!

Thinking of all our absent friends 💐and all those struggling 💐and wishing everyone the best day possible 🌷🦩

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s nippy out. I stood on the balcony while the kettle boiled for my TiB. Sunday mornings in this town centre are SO quiet until everyone gets going. No traffic even on this main road so I could hear the magpies chattering in the trees opposite.

I’ve booked flights to go out to Málaga a week tomorrow. With Mr O’Leary’s crew which is the main reason Himself bought me a smartphone. He knew the time would come when I’d need my own phone to upload my digital boarding pass. He was so organised on my behalf and incredibly thoughtful.

I’m going for 3 weeks. Well that’s the plan anyway. I need to bag up Himself’s stuff. He told me “don’t keep it as a shrine. Make the apartment your own now. Maybe keep one or two mementos but get rid of my deck shoes and shorts that wont be needed any more”. I shall cry when I put my key in the door. Not been since May last year. I’m rather dreading it all to be honest the journey on my own and the sorting. Hey ho.

I’ve been invited over to eat a roast beef dinner this afternoon with my little family. Yorkshire Lass and her husband will be in Hamburg now.

Greyduster, I know where you mean. We need to be on our way then.
I’m sorry about your fall. It really shakes you up doesn’t it. Take it steady today and rest

Some fat finger typing there!!

Good morning all from Morecambe Bay where a dry day is promised and may well materialise as the sky is currently a clear blue.
A busy day for us to day getting the remainder of the clearing away and cleaning done ahead of the decorator coming, packing for our week in Northumberland, car to clean, Crazy dog to walk, plants to water thoroughly just in case we have a dry week and a few to plant out… I’m also hoping to get to church, I’ll keep the GM poorlies in my prayers. Take care.

Good morning from Anglesey.

Yesterday morning we went to Llangefni to do a food shop and to drop off some jigsaws at the Red Cross shop.
We pottered about the caravan in the afternoon. I used a garden footstool and a washing up bowl to make an improvised water table for the little chap to play in which he loved.

DH will head back to Lancashire later today but we're going to stay here for the week.

I'm always fascinated by buildings too, **Baubles. Manchester is full of buildings that speak of it's Victorian wealth but Rochdale and Bury have good examples,too.

Happy Mother's Day, **Bellasnanna.

Have a good day, everyone. 🌻

Good morning from Stockport.
Yesterday didn’t go to plan, after my GS and my GGD’s left we got ready to go to a Makers market in a nearby village, just as we left the heavens opened and we had rain, hail, thunder and lightening.
It was so sudden and unexpected, the people we were meeting got in touch and we arranged to go for lunch in a local pub instead.
We couldn’t even get out of the ars for about 15 minutes it was so extreme and local roads flooded instantly.
The pub definitely wasn’t worth the wait, we won’t go again.
We then all came back to mine for hot drinks and the just two year old and the eleven month old played very happily for a couple of hours but oh boy I was glad to see them leave, I was childrened out.
I was so tired that I had a bowl of cereal and went to bed.
I really am aging fast.
A very quiet day today.
I hope you all find some sun in your life today and the gardeners among you get some work done.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. It’s bright with high cloud this morning. A cooler day is forecast. Yesterday was beautiful, warm and sunny all day. I changed the bedding, did some batch cooking and did some gardening.
DD2 will come over this morning and will put petrol in my car for me - I don’t have the strength in my hands to squeeze the petrol hose!

grandmattie well done to Iris for participating in the danceathon and attempting Irish dancing!

greyduster I hope you’re not in too much pain today after your fall, definitely a restful day is needed.

baubles your walk yesterday sounds very interesting and informative. Enjoy your family get together today!

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a grey W Kent. Quieter day today, I will cook us some lunch and perhaps a short walk to get a newspaper.
Sorry to read you had a fall GreyD hope a rest day helps
Best wishes

Good morning from a dull, windy, chilly Leicestershire.

So sorry to hear of your fall Greyduster I hope you feel okay today.
Our town has a lot of interesting buildings we recently went on an Art Deco tour.

Today I am going to the Spring Fair that kitty was singing at yesterday. Pity she won’t be there today.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Morning Mick, morning All from a sunny, cooler corner of Somerset.

A thoroughly enjoyable day yesterday, excellent food, some thoughtful gifts, enough flowers to stock a florist and best of all the family were relaxed and chatty. Our former daughter in law will be here this morning then our normal quiet life will resume. I’ve been thoroughly spoiled.

Mr C has promised to manage bedding change, with one eye out for ratty and his friends there are also bits we hope to do in the garden. I must phone our Welsh friend at some point which will give me a sit down for an hour.

Oh heck greyd, please try to stay upright. Happy Mother’s Day bellasnana. Congratulations to your daughter gagagran.

Wishing you all the best day it can be.

Good morning from Cornwall where it is clear-skyed and fresh and my heating has just come on. I'm on my patio swing seat and the blackbird pair have just been to collect the oats I put out. No sign of gulls still which is unheard of at this time of year. Maybe they've chosen another rooftop for rearing a family. I see many gulls going to and fro overhead with beaks full of twigs for their nests but none are landing here. My echium is now above the roof height. It's a shame I've had to tie it to my aerial pole but it doesn't seem to be thwarted by that.

No painting yesterday - my daughter-in-law and I decided to have a break for a couple of days. Today I'll pop on a bus to church and then who knows where? Later I'll have to eat a profuse amount of smoked salmon which was half price in Sainsbury's yesterday and must be consumed today. Yum. 😆

Good morning from sunny Spain. Day trip yesterday into Barcelona was good, one of my favourite cities, but the heavens opened about 2pm and continued into the night. We were soaked and had to buy umbrellas, so I hope your son had packed more suitable attire GG13. Today will be more reading around the pool, as we walked so far and feel achy.
Sorry to hear of your fall (or trip) Greyd hope you’re not too battered and bruised.
Mick a shame you missed your trip, but hope you got some advice, just in case of infection - it sounded most odd.

Best wishes to all. X

Good morning from.Bucks where the forecast is for light cloud and dry.
We had an unexpected visit from friends yesterday afternoon and enjoyed sitting in the garden and catching up on all the news.
Today we shall be busy in the garden , planting and tidying.
Wishing all a good day .

Melanie the scones at the cafe at Hollingwood Hub are amazing but you have to get there early😁!

Good Morning all from a still dull central south coast. Not feeling much warmth yet but that will change once the sun gets going.

I had a disturbed night and woke more than once and then again with a headache at 4am. Took paracetamol and rifted off but think the concerns over my Isle of Man family were causing tension. Hope for a quiet and gentle day today.

Just had a message from DGD1 to say she has got a permanent job at the school where she has been supply teaching ever since last September. I am delighted for her. It is a 10 minute walk from home so she has saved lots on travel expenses and is a lovely village school with delightful children. They are lucky to get her with her musical talents a great plus!

This morning I need DH to help me change my big winter duvet for the summer one (plus a blanket for now) as my left arm is still unreliable and duvets definitely need two good arms to manage them. He will provide my missing muscle!

Hope the day brings some comfort and ease to all our GNs in need of respite.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where the sun is making an effort, but it is chilly. Mick I’m sorry you missed your trip and hope you’re feeling better.

I missed my trip too. I was supposed to go to the theatre last night but when I went to get some cash out of the local ATM, I fell on the way back to the car. Hurt my knees, bruised my face, cut my hand and wrenched my shoulder. No lasting damage but no theatre either. This morning I had planned an assault on the garden but that will have to wait. DD will be over today to check on me, but it will be very much a rest day.

Baubles I always tell people to look up when they walk through our city centre - there is some amazing stonework at the top of the older buildings.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from Sheffield

It looks lovely and sunny, we will get the bikes out. We shall cycle on the tow path of the Chesterfield canal. It’s a very pretty path and not busy.
Then back to do the garden jobs I didn’t do yesterday
Roast pork and trimmings later and then collapse!

Take care everyone

Good morning from a grey S E Essex, we have absolutely nothing planned for today other than roast beef this evening.

I shall probably start a new book in my Kindle and/or find something on TV this afternoon.

Middle son and wife are in Barcelona, no doubt I will receive photos over the next couple of days.

Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday 🙋‍♀️

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 2° and sunny. GrandMattie i love rhubarb. I havent had any for a long time. Bellasnana happy mothers day to you. Up2u that picture of the dog drinking coffee made me smile.
Yesterday I met my friend and her daughter for breakfast. We had a really enjoyable time. I also bought a nice pie and a mini trifle from the deli for my dinner too. In the afternoon the garden firm owner came to measure up and find out what I want done. I think it will be costly but I don't care. I want an accessible garden.
Today I will go to aldi then potter about again. I need to do a small ironing. Have a good day all.

Good morning, it’s rather chilly here on the hillside in south Glos after yesterday’s lovely sunshine.
I enjoyed my zoom art although my painting was pretty bad! It was lovely to chat with the others who are all proficient artists and very friendly.
I have a pile of ironing to tackle this morning, including two big white damask tablecloths that I bought online very cheaply. I will use them on my dining room table, one has a beautiful handmade crochet border.
My DGS1 had a great time at his 10th birthday picnic, a joint one with his friend. DDIL said everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Another week of waiting for hospital appointments, it’s tedious but nothing I can do to speed things along. I will be phoning dermatology because my 4-6 week wait for an appointment is now 9 weeks.
Best wishes to you all x
