Good Morning Wednesday 2nd September 2026

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve light grey clouds and it’s grey
We’ve had that same issue with a TV greyduster, we couldn’t really get any resolution from the manufacturer and didn’t want the hassle of returning it so we try to remember to switch it off at the mains now Weird though isn’t it!
I’m up early as I’ve a fairly long volunteering session this morning, it’ll be good to see everyone and have a chat. After that a quick trip to the gym then home before going out dancing this evening
Hoping everyone has the best day they can, take care all 💐

Good morning Mick and all 🙋‍♀️

It is overcast here at the moment, I think we have showers forecast.

Off to the gym this morning (Callanetics) then I need to sort out my shoes (I still refuse to count them 🙀)

DS4’s children go back to school today year 2 and year 5, when I saw them yesterday DGD was enthusiastic DGS not so.

Have a fabulous day Madeleine45

Mick sorry to hear your thigh is still painful, take it easy*

Enjoy meeting up,with your friend Bellasnana

Good morning from Sheffield
Yes Greyduster it feels like a rainy day.
Ou doorbell goes off in the middle of the night too. Although it’s young people coming home after a night out. Our door is bang next to the pavement and they find it irresistible to press that shiny doorbell. We have to be very aware of security due to our business so we fly out of bed thinking it’s the alarm going off. Great
I’m working today. Our eldest DS is calling round this evening for a cuppa. I’ve not seen him for a couple of weeks so that will be nice.
Hope all goes to plan Madeleine, have a lovely day
Take care everyone

Good morning from autumnal s somerset

Have a wonderful day Madeleine

I am quite enjoying the transition to the winter slowdown, I believe that I am twinned with a hedgehog. Michaelmas daisy is going into flowering mode, almost a month early

A large wash dried well outside yesterday including several poplin cotton tops and one dress and I will get the ironing done straight after breakfast. Like most others, I had been taking drying weather for granted

Today, lots of knitting, some reading, a walk and a bit of sewing which will finish my dress. It does look promising, perfect for autumn with some coloured tights. I will see how it wears and could well make another in a few days. I do love that vintage inspired look, with a hint of waist, a bit of Mrs McCarthy style from the Father Brown stories

The next de-cluttered load is just starting to build, some indoor plants, plus an outdoor potted mint with small leaves and there will be several smallish barrel-style pots to go soon, I can add to that from indoors, just need to keep the awareness about de-cluttering as I live my daily life

Good morning from Shropshire.Raining☔️

We had a lovely day with DGS yesterday.His confidence has grown over the last couple of months which is lovely to see.We called at Lidl on the way home for milk and spent £40🤷‍♀️

A day at home today catching up after a busy couple of days.Reading and no doubt a snooze this afternoon.I need to make an appointment with the dreaded dentist as a piece came off a tooth yesterday.

Sorry you slipped Mick, the same happened to me earlier in the summer when we had a downpour.So easily done.

Have a lovely day madeleine.

Hope Marydoll is starting to feel better 🙏🏻

Wishing everyone a good day 🦩🌻

This morning’s “rosy fingered dawn” (thank you, Homer!).

Good morning Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is still fairly dark but looks dry. It will rain today though. I had a strange night. I’d been in bed about three hours fast asleep when I woke up and could hear noise. Looked out of the window - nothing. Started to go downstairs and heard voices. The tv was on! I distinctly remember turning it off with the remote and would certainly have noticed when I finally turned off the lights. Weird! Then about three, the sound of the doorbell ringing woke me up. Nobody there. Not a soul around. DH, if you’re haunting me, “It’s not funny, Kid!”😁.

Fridgegate rumbles on with the quest to find one that fits the space, but SiL popped over yesterday and thinks he might be able to make the space wider. I can get the same model as the one we’ve had for the past twelve years, but they are certainly not as well made. It is still working but reluctantly at the moment!

Writers group this afternoon. I got word yesterday that I will be needed back at school next week, so it’s back in the old routine!

Have the best day you can, folks.

Have a lovely day, madeleine.

Good morning Michael and all GN's on a so far very dark still morning in North Yorkshire. This is a very quick post as I have been up since 4am and am getting ready to go off to Muker show.

I am surprised you didnt hear the screams of frustration from here as for the last two days, I had nearly finished my missive and the ..... thing disappeared, and I wasnt able to get it back. Very annoying, especially as I had been bringing things u to date

So basically, fingers crossed my cellultis is a little better (no doubt will be worse after a long day today) and yesterday for the first time I felt a bit better in myself. The forecast is for rain later - of course after all the good weather it rains on show day. Sadly my friend is not well and will not be joining me, but I will be filling the car with the total range of macs, jumpers, boots sunglasses and walking boots, plus all the picnic stuff etc.

I did manage to secure a disabled parking space, or I couldnt have gone, so plan to be off no later than 6am. Am concocting picnic food, checking through cutlery and so forth, all to see me organised, when I get there. Hope that I can see a choir member or friend, who might be able to help me to set up camp at my usual spot, as I think trying to do it all myself might be a bit difficult. this year. Never mind, dont care if it rains, snows or bright sunshine. At last I am going to a show and it is my best beloved one, with wonderful memories and hopefully I shall have a day of lovely memories to hang on to in the winter.

I need to get on now, Need to get food sorted and bags at the ready to stack up in the car, so fingers crossed that this time the flipping thing doesnt disappear today! I do not understand it, it is only gransnet that does this. Have had no trouble with anything else. Well deep breath and hope

wishing you all a good day, with plans that work and last chance to spend time with beloved grandchildren as they prepare to start school Fingers crossed this gets to you all and be in touch tomorrow. Have the best day you can

Good morning from Malta where it’s going to be sunny and 38°C.

Had a strange night with weird dreams and finally woke at 5.30 and made my tea.

I’m going out with an old friend this morning, she’s picking me up so I won’t have to walk in the heat.

DD3 asked me to have DGS2 as his brother has occupational therapy and speech therapy this morning. I offered to cancel my plans but she wouldn’t hear of it. I feel bad as I know it’s not easy having to take both of them, especially as DGS2 is the dominant one who will take over when it’s his brother who needs the one on one attention.

Sorry to hear you hurt your leg, Mick. It’s the same here when it rains after months of dry weather. I’m always wary of driving as the tyres slip. It’s like a skating rink!

Hope you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning, I think it’s dry here in south Glos at the moment.
I made 4lb of plum jam yesterday (definitely no heavy lifting involved!), it’s tangy and delicious even if I do say so myself 😋
I also tidied a kitchen cupboard, chucking out various packets of out of date stuff; there’s more yet to be done. The kitchen is looking much less cluttered too after I spent an hour having a good sort out l
Today my cleaner comes, so a quick tidy then I’ll retreat to my Shed with tiddler, DH will go to the village cafe with bigger dog and leave her to get on without interruption.
She does a fabulous job and is a lovely lady.
Jacket potatoes for dinner with savoury mince and cheese, quick and easy.
Have a peaceful day if you can x
🌹

Good morning from Bristol. It’s dry and overcast atm, but rain is forecast later; knowing my luck, it’ll pour as I get home from FAB cafe…
I had a very quiet day yesterday: today will be the same other than FAB cafe.
It’s DD’s 20th wedding anniversary today. Where has time gone? I shan’t be seeing them but left a little present and card with DGD last week.
May everyone be painfree, contented and safe today. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
