Good Morning Sunday 25th October 2026

Good morning everyone from a wild windy Anglesey. It's blown a hoolie all night. It's a good job the caravan is chained down because there were times when I could feel it moving.

Yesterday morning at breakfast we discovered why the little chap was unsettled on Friday night. He has blisters on his hands which are a tell tale sign of hand, foot and mouth disease. Poor little mite! Thank goodness for Calpol. Yesterday was a day of TLC. He was a long time settling to sleep last night, but has slept through.

We were supposed to be taking him to meet up with his half siblings in Llandudno today but have had to postpone. He's not well enough and we don't want him passing it on to his brother and sisters.

I hope all of you have come through the night without storm damage.
I'm going to read your messages later but wishing you a safe journey, Ashcombe and what a lovely photo, BlueSaphire. Thank you for sharing.

I hope you are still resting, Marydoll, and that anyone else feeling unwell finds some relief today.

Wishing you all the best day possible. 🌻

Good morning all and it’s bright with a little breeze here in Essex. Stronger winds due this afternoon.
The rain and wind were certainly noisy in the night but no sign of anything being turned over or damaged.
I do love wild weather though!
I hope you’re all safe and sound 🙏.

Yesterday my lovely nephew came to pick us up, but Dh decided he wasn’t up to it and declined the offer. I was taken to my db1 and had a coffee with them and db2 and SIL.

We then set off to the delightful country pub which was full to capacity , and it’s a large place , with lots of nooks and crannies, wood burners ablaze and delicious food.
We had such a lovely time and I could relax without worrying about Dh. I felt sad he didn’t come but it wouldn’t have suited him with lots of people and chat.
DS1 and DIL popped in to have a light lunch with him so all was well.
I hadnet heard from Dd for a few days and as I feared she’s unwell. She’s been fine all through the summer and up until now , her lack of immunity has caught up with her again! 😢.
I’ll see how things are today and see if there’s anything I can do.

Lovely pic of you and Bellasnanna, Bluesapphire. How nice to put faces to names. We imagine how people look by their posts, but often completely wrong.

Safe and troublefree journey for you Ash 🤞
Take it easy Marydoll
Great that Mr Creep has his ‘just rewards’, Weirdo.
Karma indeed!

Keep warm, dry and cosy !

Good morning Mick and everyone from a very wet and windy Carlisle....no early walks today!
I've had a long night of broken sleep. I dropped off promptly in spite of the wind starting to pick up but was abruptly woken a couple of hours later by the wind raging round the rooftops and rattling and banging the ventilators (?) about. Cue calming thoughts! Eventually I switched on the World Service, partly to deaden the noise, partly to distract me. I dozed on and off the rest of the night and was glad to get up. I have given thanks to the Spirit of the Universe because, so far, my fence is still in place!

Yesterday morning I did go for an early walk as the sun rose, a really beautiful sky, red and rosy with the trees in silhouette against it. I knew it meant trouble, 'red sky in the morning etc'.

The afternoon was very windy but it died down for the evening and I hoped the forecast had been wrong, as it can be for here.

Today is definitely an in day but I'd like to have a post lunch walk in the park if things settle down. I'm curious to see what's come down tree-wise, some are rather old.
I'm going to divert myself with a bit of housework which I don't usually bother with on Sunday, perhaps to the accompaniment of some opera turned up good and loud!
Then a new book methinks.

Lovely photo BlueSapphire, you've done well to escape this stormy weekend.

Best wishes to you all.

Good morning everyone from a bright and breezy mid Essex. Clear blue sky and sunshine, after yesterday afternoon’s deluge. The moon was very bright in the early hours, shining into my bedroom window.
I just had time to walk to the postbox to post some letters yesterday before the rain started. I changed the bedclothes and washed and dried them but didn’t do much else.
DD1 was working all day so they didn’t come over and DD2’s OH was getting over his jet lag and spending time with their daughters. DD2 will come over today possibly this morning.

bluesapphire thank you for the lovely photo of you with bellasnana. I hope the Mediterranean isn’t too choppy today, enjoy the rest of your cruise.

madeleine well done for your long day’s driving to meet up with your son and his family and for navigating the closed roads.

grandmabatty i hope the bangs you heard were nothing serious.

ashcombe i hope you have a trouble free journey back to Portsmouth and that the channel isn’t too rough.

Thinking of all who are poorly or anxious for any reason.

Have as good a day as is possible folks. Stay warm and dry in this wild and windy weather.

Good morning all, from a windy Glasgow, where it is 9°C.

That's a love)y photo of Bellas and Bluesapphire,

Today, I feel quite unwell, I had a few angina episodes yesterday and was violently sick at one point. I would be lying, if I said, I wasn't scared!
For the first time in a long time, I had to use my GTN spray, which I had been afraid to use. The last time, I used it, my BP dropped so low, I passed out. Fortunately, there were no ill effects, apart from the usual aftermath of blinding headache.

DD and SIL popped in and poor DD got such a fright, when I became unwell in front of her.
She had no idea, how unwell I was, until DH explained I had been covering up and that I had been close to visiting A&E on Friday.
I am being well looked after by DH. ♥️

Karma, you are so talented.

Safe journey, Ash and OldD, I hope the sea isn't too chopy.🤢

Today, will be a day in bed. At the moment I feel very lightheaded.
I must stay off GN. Usually, I do not engage, but I am getting sucked in., Too much spare time on my hands. 😉

I wish you all, a pleasant Sunday and that everyone remains safe.

Lovely photo of you two in gorgeous weather, blue and bellas! X

Good morning from Kerry, lovely photo Sapphire,
Grey wet day here, full of aches this morning, when the carer comes to get dh up im off out for a coffee and get my thoughts together, woke up troubled nothing particular, need to clear the mood, sit by myself in my car and take the coffee to the beach, the waves are calming,
Everyone enjoy the day ,

Good morning all from a dry but blustery North Leicestershire.

Good morning from a very wild and windy northwest coast. I’ve just been round to feed the cat next door and was nearly blown orff my feet.

Quiet day yesterday, keeping out of the wind and having slight side effects from my Covid jab. I now have a crick in my neck which I’ve had before from holding my iPad in the same position for too long.

I didn’t go to the theatre in the evening, following my cat’s sensible attitude, looking out and thinking no thanks…
More of the same today, but must get on with things.
Thoughts to all🌺

Good Morning everyone from a bright and clear central south coast with the sun showing its face again after being very moody for the last day or two. The wind has eased after managing to blow over the obelisk in the rear garden, again. DH tried to fix it the first time but obviously the wind decided otherwise, He will have another go this morning.

My own wardrobe weeding encouraged DH to have a go at his, aided by me doing the folding and bagging the discarded items. He finally accepted that he will not wear them again. Some are well over 30 years old so almost class as vintage! The stair lift proved very useful in carrying the bags downstairs for us.

All clocks were changed last night before bed - an hour later than normal to try and encompass the change into my internal body clock. Not altogether successful but not as bad as sometimes happens. I really dislike the twice yearly task,

Safe journey to all travellers today and especially Ash and Olddd crossing a hopefully, calm channel. I'll give you a "welcome back" wave as you go by!

Laundry today and the usual video call from DD who went to London yesterday to buy a dress for their civil partnership ceremony on 21 December. It is all being kept ultra low key and only they and their two children will be present. We shall send flowers, a card and some cash and enjoy a nice photo, eventually.

Nice photo of Bellas and BlueSapphire enjoying a meeting in Malta. You are missed on here Bellas. Enjoy the rest of your cruise, Blue.

Take care everyone and kind thoughts to all who are struggling, especially with health issues or worries. May the day bring some relief and comfort.

Good morning from a bright Black Country where there is a cloudless sky, but not for long I fear.

We are driving down to Somerset today, to clean the caravan and make it Winter Storage ready. Drive back tomorrow, with a detour at Bristol for an hour to see MrJ's DD.

Lovely photo of you both Blue and Bellas

Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where it’s wet and windy. Strong gales woke me up around 2am but I snuggled back into the pillow grateful (unlike some) not to be out there. We have the amber weather warning until 9pm tonight.

I don’t have to go out or be anywhere so I shan’t. Today can just be reading and maybe a bit of Netflix with mugs of tea.

I’m enjoying my first TiB and doubtless will spend the day wondering intermittently what the ‘real time’ is!

Good morning from a sunny and very windy Suffolk. I’m hoping the combination of the 2 will dry out the wooden frame of the outdoor sofa so it can be put in the summer house til Spring. I dried off the cushions indoors yesterday.

I haven’t yet read through the posts but noticed a lovely photo of Bella and Blue against a beautiful sunny background. Hope all survived whatever the weather produced for you yesterday.

I must continue sorting out a couple of the spare bedrooms for family visits tomorrow. 1 lot live in the west and another in East Yorkshire so,with the distances and teenagers and their many and various activities,the chances to all get together don’t happen very often.

Hope today is an easy one for all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness where we’ve had a very stormy night, it’s still very wet and windy this morning so we’ll definitely be staying in
A lovely photo of you both BlueSapphire thank you. I hope Bellas is doing ok and back with us soon
DS is away with work this weekend so we’re not having our usual Sunday morning call, I’ll message him later and see how he’s doing. It’s half term for the dgc in Cambridge and they’re all away in Northumberland somewhere. Meanwhile the dgc here both go back to school tomorrow
Hope your DD isn’t too poorly Gingster and gets well again soon
Safe travels Ash and everyone else on the move today
Hoping everyone has the best day they can, take care all 💐

Lovely photo - good to see you both, BlueSapphire!

Thank you for all the good wishes for our journey - much appreciated. Looking much calmer now, I'm pleased to say.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. It's still windy but the rain has stopped. I'll inspect for storm damage later.

The wedding was truly lovely. It's the DD of a much loved local family who are all musicians so the songs and dances were extra good.
I left about 10pm on foot and was blown the short walk home.

Couldn't get to sleep listening to the rain and wind. I haven't much planned for today. My Helper picked apples yesterday and came back from the community pressing with 5 large bottles of juice. I may go today with more fruit.

What a lovely picture of you 2 in the Malta sunshine BlueSapphire!

Clever sewing Karma. You put me to shame. I have patterns and fabric languishing in a bag somewhere.

Sorry to hear of a few poorly DC, GC and Marydoll I hope you all have a better day.

Make good use of your extra hour.😊

Good morning all from Morecambe Bay where it is now dry following torrential rain yesterday. However, the wind has not yet abated much and the local forecast suggests it will be Wednesday before it drops.
I hope you have a good journey Ash and you don’t suffer delays or too bumpy a crossing.
DH is taking his pre diabetic health course very seriously and is following the instructions to the letter! He has already hit his target weight - his BMI was in the normal range before he started, and is now lighter than he’s been since a teenager. I can’t see him keeping this up much longer. The whole programme of checking in with “Fiona” the AI bot, is totally not DH.
Karma how you get so much sewing done is beyond me. I used to sew quite a bit but I couldn’t do it day after day or produce so many garments. I hope I can get my sewing mojo back for the winter months once the piano is out of my craft room. It’s new feet just need varnishing then we need to work out how to get the thing downstairs without damaging the recently decorated staircase or injuring ourselves in the process!
Take care🌸

Good morning it’s blowing a gale here.

DD is driving up this afternoon from the south. I hope it’s not too bad on the motorway.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Good morning from Shropshire where it is bright but very windy.

We didn’t venture out with the children yesterday due to the weather but managed to keep them entertained with baking and pumpkin carving.DGD did some reading and DGS played with Lego.A few disagreements!I was glad DD came for them and we didn’t have to venture out.

I thing on the agenda today which I am grateful for after a disturbed night.My blood glucose monitor sounded a low sugar alarm at 2am which meant I had to eat something 🤢 no reason for it as I had eaten a normal amount during the day, just happens sometimes 🙄

Safe travels Ash and olddudders and hope the sea stays cam for you BlueSapphire.A lovely photo of you and Bellas.

I am sorry you iso unwell Marydoll.I hope another day in bed and the new medication will help you 🙏🏻

Wishing you all the best day possible and hoping everyone stays safe in the storm🌻🦩

Dear gods and baby goldfishes….dh has gone around the house changing the clocks and put them all an hour forward 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Lovely photo of you both, awful night here in the north east the wind howled and howled. Just got up after a restless night. It’s still going and the garden furniture is scattered. My husband and son are due to go to the match if it’s still on. So fingers crossed. I have nothing much planned just to keep out of the wind and make Sunday lunch hope all are well and escaping this storm.
