Good Morning Saturday 12th September 2026

Good morning from a cloudy but dry Torbay.

My journey home went well yesterday and I managed the changes at Birmingham New Street and Newton Abbot although I was grateful for help from fellow passengers with my case at various stages. Thank you for the good wishes yesterday. I have used Passenger Assistance once before, Marzipan, and it worked well. However, because I didn’t know that oldddudders wouldn’t be available until the last minute, that wasn’t an option this time.

He has managed to get a plumber, so the leak is fixed for the time being with plans for two new toilets when we go back in October. This time he has decided to travel over in his car, which is relatively new and he is enjoying driving it.

Wishing you all a good day. 🦩💐🦩🥰🦩

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders where it's raining heavily.
I've come back to bed with a large mug of tea.

I shall be minding a small building, a Hearse house, this afternoon which is open for Doors Open Day. It's seldom open and just houses wall panels showing the history of the town. Nearby is a shrine to commemorate the women who were burned as witches in the 1600s. All within the Church grounds.

My DGD passed her driving test yesterday, first time so I phoned to congratulate her.
She's only 17 but very sensible.

I hope your sewing class goes well Marzipan. I'd love to see the results.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Morning all from our hotel overlooking Lake Maggiore. I will get up soon as another trip beckons!

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Good morning from a dry NE.
Been awake since 4.15 so it is going to be a long day.
DS and family will visit later this afternoon after they have had lunch out with my sister.
GD2 will be doing her homework while she is here so won't really get to talk to her.
Probably the last time I see GD1 as she will be going back to university next week.
Hope everyone has a pleasant weekend.

Good morning from Cornwall where it's dry and calm again. A warm day beckons.

Yesterday morning I ended up with over 200 people at the Arts Society lecture, learning about the ghastly Brighton Pavilion. The lecturer was from the V&A. My intention in joining is to extend my knowledge, which it certainly did! Next month's lecture is about Antony Gormley, phew.

As I suspected there were people plenty of people there that I recognised but afterwards I'd had enough of people so I walked through shady sub-tropical gardens to a beach and inhaled the lovely fresh air.

Today I'm at a sewing workshop run by a tailor who I've had a solo session with previously. There will only be six of us, so plenty of opportunity to seek her expert advice. I'm in the throes of concocting trousers from lots of scraps - the ex-hippy in me refuses to lie down - so I have lots to ask about.

Good morning from Belfast where we are having VERY heavy rain.
It woke me up and it is still raining. Careful what you wish for.
Yesterday a very busy and tiring day.
DH thought I needed to go to Home Bargains so off we went I get my toiletries there.
Next to it is Tesco so of course I went there I get my loaves there.
Then home. Where we had lunch then we both fell asleep!!!!
I woke up with someone knocking at the back door it was a neighbour
He came in and I promptly woke up DH.
After he went it was time to go to Sainsbury's for our pizza. I picked up a few things in there hardware sale that will do Christmas presents!!!!!
A very trying day.
Today just housework. Have a good weekend everyone.

Good morning from Malta where we are promised another sunny day with a high of 36°C.

We are in the middle of two storm systems over Tunisia and Naples but apparently they are going to miss us.

Had my treasures yesterday morning. First Dgs2 then DD3 arrived with Dgs1 and they stayed a while before going to trampolining and I went to the hairdresser.

Had a quick shop at Eurospin whilst chatting on the phone with DD2 in Tennessee. She had someone run into the back of her car on the highway and had to sit for two hours waiting for the police to come. Thankfully the lady who hit her was very nice about it, I dread to think what could have happened had it been some nutter without insurance.

I shall do some cleaning and laundry today before having the boys for a sleepover tonight. I do love it when they are with me.

Wishing you all a good day whatever you are doing.☀️

Good morning from Bristol. It would appear that the rain is going to missus. Again!
Yesterday was my “day off”, so I had nothing arranged. More assembling of the patchwork, changing, washing , etc., of the bedding. I dried it on the line.
I had a birthday present to order for Iris’ birthday next month. She wants horseshoe stud earrings. Most of them were studded with zirconium; it was hard to find plain ones that pleased me. I shall make her an oven glove and put them in there.
An order of bulbs for DD’s “Easter egg” arrived. When I ordered that I didn’t realise that they would come now!😆
In the afternoon, I had the Red Cross ❌ short first aid course. Goodness, the number of things that have simplified!
I’m serving coffee today at church, so shall have a full morning.
I hope everyone has a good weekend. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🐦‍🔥🦩
