Good morning everybody from Málaga where the sun’s up and I’m enjoying my first mug of tea of the day, sat on the balcony. Well done England during the night. Spain play their neighbours - Portugal - tonight. Both bars downstairs will be absolutely rammed. It’s a 10pm kick off (here) so I think I’ll go in a bit earlier this evening to eat my meal and then leave just before kick off. There will be flags, hooters and noisy support galore!

Good morning from Stockport.
I didn’t stay awake for the football although I am enjoying the tournament.
Delighted for the players and the fans.
I had a very quiet day yesterday my family were all out all day.
Sainsbury’s later this morning but nothing else of note happening.
Enjoy what you can of today everyone.

Good morning Micheal and all GN's from a sunny and breezy North Yorkshire. I expect there will be a lot of bleary eyed but happy football fans around this morning.

Yesterday was a cooler and windier day, but frustratingly I didnt feel very good, and wasnt able to make the most of the cooler day. Today I need to try and get some things sorted out, but probably not a good day to get in touch with weary people. The best I managed was general clearing up and all washing up and kitchen clean and decent for the start of the week. I had plenty of food in but no inspiration to galvanize me into cooking much.

I read of all your different efforts with admiration at your coping with the heat and still doing lots of things. Hopefully I will find something I am keen to do soon to get me going. In the meantime hope you all have a good day and plans work out well

Good morning all, from Glasgow, where it is 13 °C, with showers, yet again.

Grammaretto, I am sorry you are still struggling.😪

There is a funeral on this morning, however I am not going into the body of the church, I'm too vulnerable to be in a large crowd. I'm really there to put the church back to normal afterwards.
This afternoon, DH has a GP appointment, I have low expectations. 😔 he is becoming more unwell by each passing day and still no referral appointments.

I wish you all a pleasant day and safe journey to all, who are travelling.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex, warm and sunny again, with a cool breeze at the moment. Lots of windows open to get some fresh air into the house.

DD2 and littlest called in yesterday, DD2 was suffering a bit from her asthma, her Doctor hadn’t prescribed a “reliever” for her so she used my spare one. I hope she’ll be able to persuade the Doctor to prescribe a reliever for her , she already has a preventer.

I need to repot a tomato plant today and move the plants to a better position in the garden.

Safe travels to all those who are on the move today and best wishes to those who are feeling under the weather.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Madeleine, I smiled at your comment, regarding coping in the heat. We had the heating on for an hour last night! 🥶

Good morning Mick and everyone from cool, grey Carlisle though the clouds do seem to be lifting.
We had non-stop light rain all yesterday with the exception of about a minute's sun around dinner time. I don't want the temperatures expected down south though. I actually don't mind cold too much as long as it comes with blue skies.

I didn't do too much yesterday after a poor night's sleep but did get round to making some saffron bread, really to use up some white flour and some saffron. I'm trying to cut out white carbs as they aggravate the bloating caused by the steroids. I've also decided to stop baking cakes etc as no one in the family really wants them now for various health reasons, and I certainly don't. In spite of halving my steroid dose, my weight depressingly continues to increase.

I had a good evening as I found a film I'd been waiting to watch now free with my Prime account...it was a faithful adaptation of the original book. 'The Hail Mary Project' if you like sci-fi. Nothing religious about it, it's a project named after a baseball shot...long distance, little chance of success!

Today, the usual round of bed changing, laundry and vacuuming, reading in the afternoon.

Have a good day if you can, everyone.

Good morning all from an already hot North Leicestershire.

DH got up to watch the football byt also got up at 'normal' time. I suspect he will need a nap this afternoon.

I have a neck and shoulder massage booked just before lunch and then a Carer Learning session this afternoon.

Have the best day possibke everyone.

Good morning from a humid and cloudy Suffolk. I’m about to go and water the tubs before the sun breaks through after finishing my cup of tea and reading all the posts.

We seem to get up later each day and I’m impressed by all the early starters.

I’m meeting an old friend for coffee in a nearby town after we re- established our regular get togethers. We decided that we always need to book the next one otherwise weeks and months go by as we both seem to be busy with one thing and another.

Our family’s sporting interests are mainly cricket and rugby so football passes us by but I hope those whose family members watched or will watch the game enjoy it and the celebrations which followed.

Good morning from a very dull Co Armagh, but at least it isn’t raining
Busy day yesterday. I’ve started nipping the tops off tomato plants, they have reached the roof of the greenhouse , I tidied up round them
We are having to water some parts of the garden , we use watering cans filled from a tank linked to the gutters of. The huge shed where the tractors get refurbished , hobby of my SIL
Today I hope to go grocery shopping today , empty fridge and spaces in the freezer
Hoping for a good day for all

A late Good Morning as we just watched the game, what a result!
It’s sunny and the current temperature all day would be perfect, sadly it will rise. A lovely crossing for you Ashcombe.
No voluntary phone today, I booked it off, washing to do, one plus of the weather drying it is easy.
Garden drenched last night, our hosepipe ban kicks in on Friday.
Admin online and birthdays cards to write, im expecting a present delivery later.
Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning from Sunnyside, northwest coast. The opera co concert turned out to be a bit stressful yesterday as the roads around the church were blocked off and not knowing the area, we singers were lost and in our cars communicating on WhatsApp with someone who knew the area. It’s over an hour’s drive for me and I eventually parked in a nearby road and walked with my stuff.

Considering we were rather under rehearsed, it went well, although I had a moment when I couldn’t remember the first line of my comic song for some reason, thankfully it came and I filled in the blank with some stage business. Afterwards, one audience member said they had loved the concert and wished it had gone on for another hour. I didn’t….

I must ring the engineer today to fix my broken automatic garage door and other practical things.
Thoughts to all🌺
