Good Morning Tuesday 1st September 2026

Good morning from Sheffield
Grandmattie thank you for your tips on home preserving. It’s nice to know what somebody does in the real life rather than reading the cookery books . The chutney is in jars and is delicious. It will be even better in a couple of weeks after it has fused all the flavours . I did as you said and just screwed the tops on very tightly when it was hot
Well I have been up since three and downstairs since four. I’ve done a bit of crocheting watched a documentary and fell asleep again. I am snuggled under a blanket. I must admit it is nice to be a bit cooler. Rather than trying to keep cool all the time.
I have a day of packing and not much else really
Take care everyone

Good morning everyone from a still dark Lancashire and belated happy birthday wishes to Gagagran. 🎂🥂

Yesterday morning turned out very showery so we decided to go to the Trafford Centre instead of Bury.
We had a good lunch in Est and then did a bit of shopping. I got a jumper from Hobbs, and a Paddington sweatshirt and bottoms from M and S and a Duplo vehicle box from the Lego store for the little chap.
It was very busy, probably because people were trying to dodge the rain like us.

DD got the tram back to Manchester from there before heading home to Birmingham.

Today I need to do washing and make up a fresh bed ready for my friend who's due to arrive tomorrow.

This evening we're going to the preview evening of the Jigsaw Festival which opens to the general public tomorrow morning.

Hope your fridge holds on until you can find a new one Greyduster. At least temperatures aren't what they were a few weeks ago.

You're an early bird, Ashcombe. Are you still adjusting from the show?

Wishing everyone the best day possible. 🌻

Good morning from s somerset, feeling autumnal, cooler, cloudy and quite bright

Indoors all day yesterday, I cannot be doing that too often but it was showery all day. Did a lot of knitting and some sewing but not enough exercise, thank goodness for stairs

I think I will do a little sewing again today as my dress looks promising, I will put the neck facing on next and am thinking I will re-print the pattern all in the one size, so there is no fiddling with bodice size, dart altering and grading. It is a bit vintage style and I will do the big try-on this evening and then decide

I too need to be out today, even if just a walk

Good morning from Torbay where it’s still dark and due to be dry all day.

Last night I found myself dining at the home of my ex husband and his wife along with my son and grandson who are staying with them at the moment. They laid on a beautiful Indian meal, which I enjoyed, although I am not generally a fan of curries unless they are very mild. It was kind of them to invite me as it gave me more time with my family, but I wish DH had been here as he so enjoys Indian food!!

Good luck with the fridge hunting, Greyduster, when the time comes.

Have a good day, everyone. 🦩🥰🦩💐🦩

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is still dark but we are set to have a dry day.
Yesterday I had a long lie in and then got up and did nothing much. My legs were telling me they didn’t like my long jaunt of the day before! Then my back joined in for good measure. This morning they have settled down.

I also had a panic last night when my fridge seemed to have given up the ghost and things were defrosting at a rate of knots! After much fiddling about, and shutting it down for a while, it came back to life, but I shall be looking for a new one soon. Problem is there is only one space in my kitchen it can go and very few fridges will fit into it.

I think a trip out and a walk is on the cards today. Have the best day you can, folks.
