Good Morning Saturday 20th June 2026

Good morning from a very warm Essex coast.
Today is the start of a two day survey, on our very small block of 9 flats, because we have a very small amount of cladding.
I am not looking forward to it at all.
On a happier note DD1 is 50 today, my baby. I shall ring her later.
DH and I will go into town for a few bits and coffee.
This evening we are going out to dinner to celebrate my birthday, which is tomorrow.
Take care everyone in the heat 🥵 , best wishes to all xx

Good morning from sunny s somerset

I was gently busy all day yesterday, roomba cleaned all downstairs and upstairs while I pottered but certainly the house looks calm and tidy now. I did do a bit of de-cluttering and moved a couple of things to improve the energy flow.

Ds is safely home, it is one hack of a long journey back home to Aberdeen and it does make me feel cherished that he does this to see me

Tentative plans for today could be to cycle to the allotment and do some in-depth watering before I extend my ride back home. Then some sewing prep, I have finally decided to turn a length of beautiful, boiled wool into a coat. I bought the wool in 2012 and prepared the paper pattern last night, Tessuti Brooklyn coat. The most I will do today is cut the fabric and thread my machine. I think I can also get two Tessuti Amara tops out of the fabric, one for each of my DDs

I watered my at-home veg plants first thing this morning and have opened windows and doors wide, while the air is cooler outside.

Good morning from Malta where a sunny day is forecast with a high of 36°C.

Thank you for all your kind comments re my nails yesterday. 😘

Had my usual blow dry. My lovely hairdresser had been for her pre-op, hopefully by this time next week she will be recovering from colon cancer surgery. She’s incredibly stoic, I admire her so much and wish she hadn’t been dealt this blow at such a young age.

The boys and DD3 came over after school and, as usual, had a great time playing together. I was worn out by the time they left at 6.30pm!

I’m expecting the handyman early this morning as he’s going to do some painting for me. I have a list of jobs for him to do at a later date. He seems very reliable, touch wood!

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from a mild, overcast Bristol. We may have rain today and the temperatures will not rise much above 20C. Perfect for me!
Our Spanish tutor is very good; he prepares the class thoroughly but often, like yesterday, lets it run with conversations. As we are so few, yesterday we were 3, it was more conversations. This week was about inventions. We had to read an article about Lazlo Biro and his eponymous ballpoint pen. I chose to write about the wheel. The other two were the inventor of cats eyes and artificial dyes.
In the afternoon, I joined the final block to my quilt and have very nearly finished. I still have the identical ones left to put together as I made too many; two quilts for the price of one…
Today, I’ve got church coffee, then I’m being picked up by DD to spend the afternoon with my two remaining offspring.
May you enjoy this nicer weather. I hope those in sick bay have made their way out. 🫂
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🐦‍🔥🦩🦩

Good morning Micheal and all.
Just browsing when your post appeared, one of these days you will be early enough to catch yourself in yesterday’s thread.
I wish you all a good weekend out of the heat if it arrives as promised/threatened.
