Good Morning Bank Holiday Monday 31st August 2026

Good morning fro a rainy but brightening Stockport.
I am late to the part after a very bad night when of course I dozed off about 7.
I have an increasing painful leg, pain from hip to ankle which is either bursitis which I had diagnosed a couple of years ago or sciatica.
I am seeing the GP surgery physio tomorrow.

Yesterday’s Sunday lunch out was nice but not special, the venue was lovely and I shall go again but have something off the main menu and not the roast.
My GD’s friend who took me was very good company, she has a foreign boy friend who she sees about 3 times a year, her family and friends worry about her, there doesn’t seem to be a good ending for the relationship and she tells me everything without any censure or pressure.

The sky is going dark again and I think we are in for another wet day.

I hope any plans you have can go ahead and Gagagran enjoy your day.

Georgesgran, yes Jet2. Small world isn’t it. 😀

Good morning from a glorious east coast.

We are going over to visit my dad and stepmum this afternoon they have shocking phone reception so speaking to them on their mobiles is awful they sound like they are underwater. I need to see Dad in person as he’s deaf too. He had a traumatic operation removing a huge skin cancer from his head so I need to give him a big hug. He has to go through having about 30 staples removed from his head soon bless him. He’s been through the mill a bit.

Lovely FGT is enjoying her happy place 🌞

Wishing Gagagran a very happy birthday 🎉

Have a good day everyone enjoying the sunshine if you can 🌼

Thank you everyone for the kind birthday wishes! Just had a lovely lunch out with DH and found a huge bouquet on the table in the restaurant, waiting for me! Family are visiting on Thursday so am looking forward to that. Think I shall get used to being 83 pretty quickly!

It is GrandmaC47 - I’m sure your family will have noticed mine - the wheelchair is a dead giveaway! X

Bit late but happy birthday gagagran glad you had an enjoyable lunch

Hardly a morning post from me but I thought of Diana, Princess of Wales first thing as 29 years ago today she died. Gosh where do the years go I ask myself?

I paid my first visit to the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy just a few days before. I remember walking down Piccadilly with my younger son and daughter. It was a beautiful sunny day. We had special tickets which included champagne, nibbles and a gift bag to take home.
