Good Morning Saturday 20th June 2026

Good morning from cloudy Leicestershire.

Doggy had to stay out again last night as it was too hot indoors but it rained so instead of a hot dog I have a soggy doggy!

We are going for coffee to a local farm.
I am dreading next weeks weather.

I was very upset to hear of yesterday’s train crash. My DS travels on that line regularly.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Another sunny Suffolk morning and I hope all can enjoy the same today…although I would prefer the heat to be no more than 24/25 degrees.I do like the fact that this heat means DH wears short sleeved shirts so ironing is easier on some of his garments.

Apart from the usual dog walk and our usual Saturday Waitrose delivery it will be another peaceful day at home seeking out the coolest spots in the garden but mainly in the house.

Hope all can find pleasure in whatever you do today.

Good morning from a grey, overcast and very warm NE Mids. We have had some rain overnight as the ground is damp and it certainly looks like more rain is inevitable.
Nothing in particular planned for today so I think it will be a crafting day for me.
Have a good day one and all!

Good morning everyone from an overcast Northampton, but a bit of sun 🌞 expected later.

Yesterday was pleasantly not too hot, and I enjoyed my shopping trip out with a friend; I went down to ballet class to meet her and enjoyed watching the dancers at their barre class. I think I will be able to join them in a couple of weeks once I have seen the optician and got the all-clear.
We then went over the road to the village bakery cafe where I had a lemonade instead of a coffee; then to the shops where I got everything I needed and managed to spend a £10 voucher in M&S food.

No plans this morning, but this afternoon I will settle down in front of the tv to cheer my rugby team on in their final. I could have gone to Twickenham with DD and DS-in-law, but as the journey involved a fair bit of walking and steps at multiple tube stations I had to decline the offer. I went a couple of years ago with a neighbour but it was a lot easier as he was driving. Come on you Saints! 💚💛💚💛🏉

Wishing all a pleasant Saturday.

Wishing everyone the best of days. 🌸

Good morning all from Morecambe Bay where a pleasant day weatherwise is forecast.
Hopefully today will be more productive than the last couple of days. There’s lots to do here, having been away so much. The garden needs serious attention and everything needs returning to its place after it was moved upstairs for the decorator and carpet fitter weeks ago.
Yesterday was a strange day. I went to the chemist for some thrush treatment following my recent course of antibiotics but she said I was too old for her to serve me and to ask the doctor. My heart sank but I called in the surgery and got an appointment immediately! The Dr (yes a real dr not a nurse) also checked my ears to make sure the infection was clear as I said that despite no pain it still didn’t feel right. She decreed it wasn’t a “happy ear”!and has prescribed some drops.
She did explain they were actually eye drops but the actual ingredient was what I needed. It cause great consternation in the pharmacy.
Earlier we returned from giving CDog his short walk when a tree surgeon appeared wanting to cut our hedge. He insisted on giving us a quote- I wasn’t happy as it isn’t the time to trim hedges. He got increasingly rude about my garden and how overgrown it was and it would be beautiful when he finished. I managed to catch DH who appeared at the window to come out and give him a more definite no. He finally stormed off in a huff.
Yes there’s an old tree in the corner that needs cutting back again but it is on DH’s long list of jobs and will be done before the year is out. Everything else I will do myself. I’ll post some pics Grammaretto

Thank you all your kind wishes.
Pictures of my “garden”. The first sweet pea is showing colour.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. It’s sunny but with some cloud about. Pleasantly cool at the moment and a slightly less hot day today I think. DD2 is away for the weekend in a north Norfolk seaside town and she was still on the beach with the DGDs at 9.00 last night! She was disappointed to see that it won’t be as hot today and they may have showers!
I spent a lovely afternoon at the local RHS gardens with some friends. We had a short walk then sat in the shade for a while admiring the flowers.

Nothing much planned for today, some ironing to do, the bedding to be changed and some garden tidying to do. DD1 is busy so I doubt I’ll see her today and possibly not tomorrow either.

Good to read of happy family reunions today, have a lovely time with your Aussie relatives grannygravy and have a happy time with your Dd and DS grandmattie.

gagagran I hope you will soon be back to your normal self after last week’s fall.

Thinking of those who are poorly or suffering in any way.

Have as good a day as is possible everyone.

Good morning from an overcast W Kent. Early shop and get ready for visitors tomorrow if it’s as hot as predicted that will probably be enough.
Best wishes

Good morning all from a muggy, damp North Leicestershire.

My eye jab yesterday went well and the lovely lady who did the deed gave me lots of time to ask questions. I do find it difficult not to bend for 24 hours afterwards.

Today, we may walk along the tow path to one of the waterside pubs to see a group who play shanties on a moored boat. That will be weather dependent though. DS1 is planning on seeing them at a different pub and calling here afterwards and hus brother is planning on calling in too.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from Sheffield

The Choir of Man show last night was excellent , not at all what I expected. Had a thoroughly good time, The restaurant was so good. It didn’t realise before I went that it was totally gluten free so I could have whatever I wanted. A rare treat.

Today I am going to the garden centre with mentioned DS. He is rehashing his front garden and I am plant picking with him.

I think I will then have a relaxing afternoon and evening.
I am hoping to watch the Take That circus concert which is being live streamed on Amazon Prime. I saw it years ago and would like to watch it again . All those people crowded together is a bit too much for me now,so I will pass on actually being there.

Take care everyone

Good morning all from a muggy Black country, we have had rain overnight so no need for early morning watering.
Car passed its MOT.
No plans as yet for today may go and look for some shoes for my nephews wedding.
grandMattie enjoy time with the family bet you can't wait to see your DS.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans, safe travels those on the move and virtual hugs where needed ☀️.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
A poor sleep and a busy day ahead.
The art group is to be painting in my garden this morning and a house viewing this afternoon.

My lodgers have a leak in their ceiling so I shall be looking for a plumber to come out.

My DS couldn't get home last night due to an emergency at Edinburgh airport. His flight from Ireland was diverted to Newcastle. I hope he's back now.

U3A boat trip on the Forth was really good. We had an excellent guide and saw the famous gannets of the Bass rock and lots of funny puffins.

Hoping everyone has a pleasant day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. A cloudy cool start to the South Yorkshire day which will suit me if it lasts.

I started off to the gym yesterday before I went to my physio appointment. He has given me some exercises for my hands and will see me again in a month. It won’t make much of a difference I don’t think - anything at this stage is damage limitation. School in the afternoon and then I came home and did little except finish a book because it was so hot. I broke the habit of a lifetime and had proper fish and chips for my tea. They were a lovely treat!

Car washing and weeding today, and I may cut the front lawn.

Have the best day you can, folks.

HelterSkelter I'll see if I can find a photo of the picture. I found my resident squirrel sitting on my bed one day. He panicked and ran round and round in circles even though the patio door was wide open. 😄

Good morning, it’s cloudy here in south Glos. I’m not looking forward to the weather from tomorrow, another heatwave coming.
Yesterday I finished turning my raised planter into a miniature succulents garden. I’m very pleased with my efforts, so much so that I’m going to make a couple more using small, shallow terracotta planters that came from my parent's house.
While DH continued his exploits in the attic and bathroom, tiddler and I retreated to the Shed 😁; he says he’s finished so this morning will be spent cleaning up the aftermath.
One of my friends has been diagnosed with cancer, that means that in the houses on my side of our small estate there are 7 house in a row with present or former occupants who have had or are living with this awful disease. A horrible coincidence.

There’s fish and chips for dinner today! DH’s favourite.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend 🌹

Good morning from a cool N Surrey. All doors and windows open to freshen up indoors.

I am dreading the mid 30s temperatures next week. I really felt the heat yesterday and to be honest it wasn't that hot.

We have a little robin who hops in through the kitchen doors to look for the dried meal worms I put down for him. But the damn squirrel has been known to come in as well and race round the house. And one evening a bat flew in. That made me squeak let alone him.

Marzipan Can you put a photo up of your Dad's picture of Cornish roof tops. I have a lovely memory of staying in a B&B in Polperro at about 10 years old. My little bedroom with a wide window seat was in the attic and from there I could look down over rooftops and chimney pots down to ths harbour. I think the bedroom woodwork was painted blue. Oh to go back in time. That was a lovely holiday. Almost 70 years ago. I expect Polperro has changed or maybe not.
Enjoy the cool day.

Good Morning everyone from a dull and cloudy central south coast. It is warm but not yet hot and like others have said, I shall be staying indoors in the coming heatwave.

Still not feeling very well after my fall a week ago. It is taking longer than I had hoped.

Take care everyone and hope those struggling with worries or problems of any sort have a better day.

Good morning from my little corner of Essex, apparently it’s going to be hot, summer has arrived 🌝

One of our Aussie contingent is making a flying visit today, we are going out for lunch and no doubt talking until our voices go…

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where we have a forecast of 21°C with showers.

I’m up earlier than I like as L’il Miss woke bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6am
😮
We were playing word games and giggling within 5 minutes. She is a great
little entertainer and mimic but only with family - she’s far too shy to show her talents to others!
I’ve got TiB to revive me.

She will go home at noon with a lunch from Greggs for her and the Boy Wonder they love the chicken tenders, spicy chicken popcorn and potato wedges!

Later I’m expecting a visit from our Yorkshire Lass, her husband and his parents who are up this way visiting extended family in Didsbury nearby. They drive home to Banbury tomorrow apparently - so not a million miles from yourself Mick!

Good morning from the long Sussex coast. It’s looking warm and sunny.
I have two bookcases made by our superb local joiner being fitted today.
Tomorrow to a classic car show with friends. Love the colours, shapes and nostalgia of the cars and I know I will be taking photos!

Good morning from a dry and bright Crewe whence we travelled yesterday but not without some difficulty!

On arrival at Torquay station, we discovered that our train to Stafford on which we’d booked seats was cancelled due to “animals on the line”! After considering various options, we chose to travel via Birmingham New St. Poor DH had to stand for most of the journey, despite being in First Class. Eventually, the young man sitting by me offered him his seat for half an hour. What a gentleman!

We are staying at The Crewe Arms Hotel, used to house asylum seekers for a while but, having undergone a refurbishment, now open for guests. It’s very near the station and was convenient for Giovanni’s where we were due to meet my DD2 and family for a meal. Her in laws joined us and my ex-husband and his wife. Good food and service contributed to a convivial evening along with the wine!

Later today we shall go to the Mitchell Arts Centre in Hanley to watch my DGD in her dance school show. Apparently, she will be in thirteen dances across various disciplines. She was very excited to see us all and spent much of the latter part of the evening rehearsing her dances in the garden when we were back at their house!

I hope everyone is having an equally pleasant weekend. 🦩💐🩰🥰🦩

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. We are promised another fine day.

It was lovely seeing two cousins yesterday. We last saw one another the year before last at their father’s funeral. I made Coronation Chicken for lunch which went down well. It was too warm for a hot lunch. I make the original Constance Spry recipe which was invented for the late Queen’s Coronation.

OH is out today so I might just potter inside. I am finding this humid very warm weather difficult. There is a bit of ironing to do…

Have a good day everyone,

Good morning from Cornwall where it's overcast and the tiniest breeze is wafting in across my bed. I had a lovely evening at my eldest son's, catching up with the grandchildren, seeing my dad's painting of Cornish rooftops which had finally arrived from the auction house and eating supper with them all when my hairdresser daughter-in-law arrived home from work.

My son and I love ants - I've probably bored you with this a hundred times already 😁 - and I saw his colony in his home office which now has four sections containing hundreds of eggs and baby ants. I'll no doubt be in charge of them when the family go on holiday.

Today I'll enjoy the cooler weather before the heat drives me indoors next week, and will revisit Toy Story 5 at the cinema this morning, to take in the details that bypassed me the other evening. Animation is such an incredible skill and Pixar excel at it. (Nerdy moment over. 😂)

My patio is calling. A large rogue squirrel came down from my wild wood yesterday morning and left a trail of destruction and mud but I've managed to restore the flattened plants, phew.

Happy birthday tomorrow Sar53 🎂
