Good morning from the edge of South Lanarkshire (Peeblesshire and the Borders start just up the road from my daughter’s village.) A nice overnight stay and catch up, her shifts can make that tricky.

My condolences to you and your family Gagagran,

Nice to see you this morning Grandmabatty, I hope you are feeling better. Back home this morning after meeting a friend for coffee and a couple of hours of continuing the great clear out which I have at last started. Or maybe one hour!

I really hope you get some relief soon from your back pain Grammaretto,it must be very debilitating although you are not letting it keep you back.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Morning from a sunny soon to be hot S. Hants, no sign of rain.
Yesterday was quiet, good news I’m exempt from the imminent hosepipe ban, pensioner status has a plus. Squaring it with the neighbours a different matter! Tbh it’ll be greenhouse toms with the watering can only.
MrJ has bowls this evening, I must renew my library books.
Hi Grandmabatty 👋👋

Grandmabatty Tue 07-Jul-26 08:09:42

gingster 👋 right back at you.

Good Morning everyone from the east coast and another warm windy day.

Sending sincere condolences to you Gagagran 💐

I’m with mum and uncle today so it’s a busy day.
I decided not to do slimming world as my best friend and I are doing the My fitness pal instead calorie counting which is suiting me better. It’s certainly making me think what I eat and my portions. It’s only been a few days so we’ll see.

Hoping you all have a lovely day. 🌼
Thoughts to those suffering stress and illness 💐

Sending you a (((hug))) gagagran 💐

Good morning and it’s warm already. Last evening was stifling but I did manage a few hours sleep.

gagagran so sorry for the loss of your db. 🥀.

Lovely to see Grandmabatty back 👋.

Yesterday we flopped around trying to do a few jobs here and there, but mainly watched the tennis. Fantastic play by all.
We ate strawberries and icecream and delighted in the fact that we weren’t among the crowd at Wimbledon.

Today Dd will pop in for coffee after school drop off. I do hope she’s brought my hand fan back from the seaside cottage. She’s not great at remembering things ! 🤯. 😬.

Bridge club this afternoon and my friend will pick me up but I’ll have to get the bus back. It’s not fair to expect anyone to get through the traffic at that time and then through it again to get home.

I’ll leave Dh with the fan on and a sandwich and iced water to keep him going, til I get home at teatime. (He’s perfectly capable of doing things himself, but I know he wouldn’t bother).

Take care all whatever the weather where you are. ☀️☔️💨

Good morning from a slightly cooler Black Country.

Line dancing was a struggle yesterday in the heat, even though there were fans dotted about the room.

Today over to Mums, food shopping etc.

I too fill my car when it starts to dip under a half. Though I have hardly used my car lately and last time I filled up was the beginning of March!

Sincere condolences Gagagran flowers

Wishing you all the best day possible

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey clouds and we’ve had overnight rain
So sorry to hear your sad news Gagagran sending condolences to you all ❤️
I’m off to the gym this morning and then meeting up with a group of ladies at the garden centre this afternoon. They’re all ladies I’ve known for a while and we’ve kept in touch over the years. It’ll be good to see them and catch up on all their news
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Bellasnana Tue 07-Jul-26 07:41:03

Gagagran sincere condolences on the sad loss of your brother. May he rest in peace.🥀

Good morning from what looks like another hot day but the lower humidity is welcome.

Apart from popping up to a friend to have a document witnessed we have no plans other than a restful day at home I hope others have a similar day of peace and quiet.

Thinking of you Gagagran dealing with the sad newsabout your big brother. No matter how expected such news is,the reality is still very hard to bear.

Gagagran condolences to you and your family take care of yourself 🌹

monk08 Tue 07-Jul-26 07:29:29

Good morning all from a muggy Black country according to my phone rain is in the vicinity, typical the towels are in the wash.
Karma you are one busy lady can you spare some of your energy.
Housework today and need to pick something up from doctors before DH appointment Thursday.
Have the best day you can everyone whatever your plans 😎.

Good morning all from a cooler North Leicestershire. I think the forecast is for a hot day.

My condolences gaga. I am glad yiur brother didn't linger - that is hard on the family.

Today I am missing choir as a nearby Memory Cafe is short of volunteers.

Yesrerday's Carer learning session was full of emotion and, therefore, very tiring. I slept well

Have the best day possible everyone.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Tue 07-Jul-26 07:24:39

Please accept my condolences too Gagagran. x

Morning all from West Oxfordshire where another warm day is promised.

Such a relief that Belgium beat the USA last birth 4-1. After trump’s red card shenanigans it was the best result.

Gagagran - my condolences 🌷

It is the WI coffee morning today so I’ll go to that. It is usually a good occasion. The cafe is air conditioned!

After lunch I’ll pop to a friend’s for the afternoon.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. Sunny, with a cool breeze at the moment, another hot day is forecast.

gagagran, so sorry to hear about your db, sending sympathy to you and your family.

Yesterday was very warm and windy, I had my usual walk, tidied the kitchen and swept and washed the floor. The washing is on and will be put out to dry soon. I still have some ironing to do from the weekend’s washing so will do that this morning before it gets uncomfortably hot. I need to go to the post office, if it’s not too hot I’ll walk there, otherwise I’ll drive!

Thinking of all those who aren’t posting for any reason, and also thinking of those who aren’t well.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning everybody from Málaga where we have the beginning of another glorious day. I do love this heat! It’s my LWW afternoon today. Always enjoyable.

I think I’ll just have one G&T and settle for water after that. Not like me but I’ve not had alcohol since last Tuesday owing to the stomach bug. If I’m honest I’m enjoying deeper and more refreshing sleeps without it. Shame I like it really … 😂

I think I’ll walk up into Arroyo early before it gets too hot and buy myself a straw hat. I threw one out when I was here last month as it was past its best and it is sensible to wear one when walking during the day in July & August! 🔥

Gagarin, I’m sorry for your loss

Good morning from a warm W Kent
Trying to decide whether to go to art group this morning, the heat is getting to me and I have an appointment with a new hairdresser this afternoon.
Gagagran my condolences to you.
Best wishes

Jaxjacky Tue 07-Jul-26 06:56:19

Gagagran my condolences, a very sad time for you x

Grandmabatty Tue 07-Jul-26 06:51:41

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 15° and cloudy. It's been windy for days. Gagagran my condolences to you on the loss of your db. Karma best to get it seen to. Bellasnana enjoy your time with your boys.
Yesterday was quiet. Dd brought the boys for a flying visit and they immediately set to drawing while she and I blethered. Later my neighbour brought me rhubarb.
Today the family are already in the air flying to Tenerife for 2 weeks. I will miss them. My plan is to get weeding started and make some jam with the rhubarb then see how I feel. Have a good day all.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire. It was hot and sticky last night had we had thunder about three o’clock this morning but I’m not sure it actually rained. I won’t know until I go outside.

Yesterday I got on the tram and went to buy tickets for a train journey I’m making next week. The tram stops right outside the station. I’m not one who likes to book travel on my phone! The Luddite in me, though I do pretty much everything else on line. The rest of the day was spent doing piffling little jobs.

School this afternoon - probably my last session before the holidays. I must go to the pharmacy and get something for my very itchy eyes. They are driving me crackers at the moment.

Have the best day you can, folks.
