Good Morning Friday 23rd October 2026

Thank you HelterSkelter I am still troubled by it but won’t say anything, I was upset also by the D’s attitude, treating her mum like a child.
I just hope my friend won’t see it on Facebook.

Good morning all. Lots of overnight rain but little wind here as yet.

Trip to Waitrose yesterday and we received a steam cleaner from Amazon. Tried it out yesterday afternoon in the shower and was very impressed. They recommend the use of gloves as it heats to boiling point and has 1500w pressure but DH didn’t bother.

GrandmaBatty that’s one scary skeleton. Hope your grandsons won’t be traumatised. 👻 it looks really good.

Hope your MRI went well Mick and your results are good when you get them.

Madeleine your poor son. I hope he gets better quickly; ear pain is very painful.

Hope everyone has a good day and take care if out and about.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s dark and grey, the worst of the storm is due for us over the weekend.
Hoping your son is ok madeleine such a worry
I’m off to the gym this morning for a couple of classes and then home for the afternoon. Yesterdays quiet day didn’t go exactly to plan as I needed to go out, but hopefully the weekend will be quiet
Marydoll ❤️
Have a lovely time in Anglesey latedecember and safe travels
Take care everyone with the stormy weather
Hope everyone has the best day they can, take care all 💐

Good morning from a dull northwest coast. I’m on cat feeding duty next door and then I’m off to the art group. I’m going to wrap up more today, I’ve been feeling chilly.

I have my Covid jab later today and haven’t booked for a local production tomorrow as not sure how I will feel.
Hope all clear with your scan Mick, thoughts to Madeleine and all🌺

Lovely day yesterday we went to our first Christmas fair at the racecourse it was lovely. They played Christmas songs in the background which was a bit weird. We had lunch bought a few bits and totally enjoyed it. My first one done! Today my hair done and a couple of hrs working. Just to keep the brain working, weather in the turn definitely. Have a good day all.

Good morning, it’s breezy but the rain has stopped momentarily.

The Imp has gone into school, I have come back to lay on the bed with a latte and my iPad to read all your news.

Of my headache goes (I swam to be going through a period if cluster headaches at the moment) or eases I will go to the gym this morning.

I have onions to prepare for pickling, and some admin to do.

This evening we are going to our local Italian and taking DD and her boys (The Imp and 11yr old will be pleased, it’s one of their favourite restaurants)

Will now catch up with your news 🙋‍♀️

I think that was very unkind of the daughter to post a picture of her daughter utbb, no wonder you feel upset.I am pretty sure that most people seeing the picture will share your feelings.

madeleine. I hope you have better news from your son today and Marydoll I hope you get a drs appointment 🙏🏻

Good morning from a dark and very wet NE.
The forecast is for heavy rain all day.
I don't have any plans so will just tidy round, do some reading and then watch TV.
Haven't heard from DS and family, they are on holiday in Yorkshire, I am assuming they are having busy days.
Have a ngood day.

Good morning all , just getting light and the electrician has already arrived and is getting on with the job.
The company we have used really is first rate. I suppose you get what you pay for, although they weren’t the dearest quote we had. Dh always goes ‘middle of the road’.

Last chap arriving today will be just to make sure everything s ok.

Today I’ll pop up to town to book a quote for new blinds. We were going to put the old ones back up but ds2 recommends new wizzy electric ones. He would! 🤣. We’ll see!

We won’t meet our Friday friends as weather not great and I have things to do. One of our ladies had a kidney removed on Wednesday, she’s home and her Dh said all went well.
I’ll phone her in a day or so. 🙏

I hope your day is better today Marydoll and you get some help from the GP.
Also your son * Madeleine*. Such a worry especially as you’re not close by.

Take care everyone, in this weather. Even down here in Essex, we have yellow warnings.

I have an appointment at 9.20am with........ my retired GP, who is now doing locum work!

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 4° and very grey overhead. Heavy rain is forecast. Glammagran the boys liked Skelly and weren't scared in the slightest. I've brought him in as this weekend isn't looking great.utbb that was a very unkind thing of your friend's daughter to do. Madeleine I hope your ds is on the mend.
Yesterday I had the boys in the morning. They painted Halloween figures I had bought and placed them around the house. Dgs1 was especially cuddly all morning and wanted me to sit beside me. I think he knows something is wrong with his granddad and is seeking comfort. I dropped them off at their aunts and came home where I lay down for half an hour before going to art class. I was glad I had gone as the company was good but I produced nothing worthwhile. I do have a plan for next week though.
Today I intend to go to Aldi and stock up for the week ahead. Then home to catch up on washings etc. I have started a new blood pressure medication and it doesn't agree with me at all. I will give it another day before contacting the surgery. Dinner will be fish of some sort I think. Have a good day all.

Good. Morning all from a fairly bright North Leicestershire.

Preparing a tartiflette for our meal this evening as I have an eye jab appointment at 4pm. DH is struggling with pain and tiredness so won't be able to cook and, anyway, Forest are on TV!!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning from a wet Suffolk after a lovely sunny autumnal day yesterday. I didn’t hear the wind in the night but it must have been quite strong as the waterproofcover on the outdoor sofa in the back yard is lying on the ground . We obviously didn’t put the ties on when we covered it up.

I feel sorry for the many visitors who will be coming to this part of the world for the half term holiday as the forecast for next week is pretty poor. I imagine the cinemas and indoor activities will be pretty busy.

Apart from the usual dog walk and a trip to the surgery to collect DH’s latest prescription there is nothing I have to do. After a busy week and a busier one next week,I enjoy days like this.

Hope all have a satisfying day.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s currently dry after rain during the night. 11°C will be our high and more rain is forecast. Storm Austen isn’t a factor in this neck if the woods then.

I don’t have any calls on my time today. I can stay home and have a pj day and read/watch Fauda on Netflix. Or I could jump on the bus and go to M&S food hall at the Trafford Centre ahead of the half term crowds of this weekend and next week. Or I could go over the road, catch a train into Manchester Oxford Road and visit an art gallery then sit with a coffee or a wine and people watch.

Decisions, decisions. Time for a 2nd TiB anyway ….. 😁

Good morning from chilly South Lanarkshire. There’s been a frost overnight, my bedroom window is always open and the room felt distinctly cooler today.

Yesterday was fine, home late as usual though and we were tired.

Absolutely no plans today other than washing my hair going for a walk later.

Sending good wishes for your son Madeleine and to you Marydoll, I hope your GP can help you.

Have the best day possible everyone.

We then went to Sainsbury’s where the prices of some everyday items seem to have increased in price since last week

Susan56 I’m with you there and it’s not ‘just pennies’. I did a bit of grocery shopping yesterday to take to my stepfather. I nipped into my larder for it. He likes a certain brand of Scottish salmon fillets. They come in a pack of two and before I went on holiday the price was £4.95 - expensive enough compared to cheaper ones on offer but I was staggered to see the price yesterday! £7.50! 😮 (discount with my loyalty card but that won’t be a given next time).

I think you notice jumps in prices when buying the same regular items.

We seem to have missed the promised heavy rain and the sun is actually trying to peep through the clouds. Oldies’ coffee morning if I can actually get myself out of the house in time then back to make a batch of mincemeat so that it has time to mature before I need to use it.

Hope Marydoll has a helpful consultation and the rest of us have a good day.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Mediterranean day!
Just had breakfast and about to do my mile round the deck - I need to walk off the delicious food!
Yesterday I walked, read, and also did a ballet class in the afternoon.
Lunch will be something Asian in the Asian restaurant, and dinner is yet to be decided.

Last night I went to the theatre where we saw an excellent Beatles tribute band, and tonight is Abba night!

Tomorrow we are in Malta where I am hoping to meet Bellasnanna.

Posting a picture of my beautiful cabin, taken just a few moments ago.

Sounds lovely BlueSapphire.
Best wishes to Bella. I look forward to reading her posts soon. Her life and surroundings so different from mine. So interesting.

Your cabin looks luxurious BlueSapphire! You sound as though you’re having a great time with sunshine too - an added bonus for your deck walk. Give Bellasnana a hug from me tomorrow please. We’ve been pm-ing. She’s going through a debilitating time poor lady.

Good morning from a dry Cambridgeshire at the moment but rain expected.

BlueSapphire I am enjoying hearing about your cruise and your cabin looks lovely. Please give Bellas my best wishes and hope she is doing ok.

Madeleine hope your son will be ok I have had cellulitis of my ear and not pleasant. Do hope you will get to see him and your GS tmrw.

* Marydoll* I’m so sorry you are really struggling 💐

Today I’m off to the farm shop to place my Christmas order then call in Waitrose and home to do the ironing and bake a birthday cake for a friend visiting this weekend.

Keep safe and warm everyone. Will try and post some of my autumn tubs which cheer me up.

Two tubs I did yesterday. My skimmia are looking good too

Good morning from a wet and windy Co Armagh
No art this morning, my friend is poorly and I don’t drive , I don’t really like the picture I’m doing so not too dissapointed
Yesterday I walked up to chapel but Mass was cancelled , our Parrish Priest is covering what three used to do
So that’s two days without talking to anyone , I’m lucky my Daughter calls in each evening
Oh Marydoll I hope you get some help 🙏🏼

Love the tubs Grannyivy

Back from doctors. I am grounded!

Heart meds increased, until bloods come back next week.
Something is also going with my lungs. 😪

At least I was not sent to A&E, which I feared!

An easy day for me!!
