Good Morning Wednesday 24th June 2026

Good morning from a clear, still Bristol where the temperature is 21C.
The Met Office chap said that this temperature was far more unpleasant due to the humidity if the air is dry as in Oman (pace Mick), higher temps are more tolerable due to the dry air.
I feel like a troglodyte, with my curtains and windows closed, but it does help to keep cool. My front door is already wide open for some fresh air!
I spent most of yesterday pottering - finishing my trousers which I shall wear later, cutting out a skirt from a different fabric.
In the afternoon, a neighbour kindly drove us to the next village for an afternoon of prayerful meditation, a sequel to a church course earlier in the year.
Today, although AgeUK has cancelled all FAB cafes, the vicar has asked that we should proceed as usual. My only condition is that I would finish early as I have a 10 minute walk home.
In the afternoon, we have an estate monthly “progress report”, with no manager, that Mr. Teflon is to chair. It should be interesting.
Please keep safe and cool 😎🥶

Good morning from Malta where it is sunny and the high is forecast at 37°C.

I ventured to the other side of the island yesterday, traffic was awful both ways, this little island has far too many cars.

I bought a cross-trainer, it will be delivered next week so is my birthday present to myself! I had a lovely chat with the young Thai salesman who showed me pictures of York where he went to university. My mother was from York so I have spent many happy times there and knew all the places in his photos.

Went to Lidl on the way home so am now stocked up for a while.

My hairdresser has her surgery today to remove a tumour in her colon. I’m praying all will go well for her.

Very sensible of you to stay home whilst the weather is so hot, Mick. I’m sure you’ll soon be able to go back to your daily bus trips.

I’m going to walk to the shop for bread but will then stay home. Haven’t seen the boys this week so I’m hoping for a visit after school.

Thinking of all with health and other worries, and of our missing posters.

Take care all.☀️

Good morning everyone from south Manchester where I’m awake very early for some reason! No matter. I slept well. It’s nice and cool here at the moment however Alexa tells me it’ll Be 30°C again later.

I have my yoga class at 10am no excuse not to go as (a) it’s round the corner at the library right next door to Sainsbury’s and (b) the room has air con - so Downward Dog it is then!

Home for quick freshen up & change into a summer dress and Birks then meeting 2 ladies from book club for lunch and wine in the square. Later I’ll be watching L’il Miss at her swim lesson, doubtless envious of a dip!

Hope we hear from Marydoll today and thinking of Blossoming. Trust Grandmabatty is finding her detox from GN beneficial but haste ye back woman - I miss hearing about your wee boys.

Good morning from an already very warm NE Mids. It looks like another extremely hot day today and there’s not a breath of a breeze. I have a physiotherapy appointment this morning, otherwise I wouldn’t be venturing anywhere. After my appointment it will be a steady day, catching up on a crafting project, keeping out of the sun and drinking plenty of water.
Stay safe and have a good day one and all!

Good morning from s somerset

38 for me later today. I went to the allotment at 6.30 pm yesterday and did a bit of basic watering, just the tomatoes squashes and beans, I tied up the tomatoes and courgettes and came home, it was still 33 then and I was drenched. No more visits until sunday now. I spent the rest of the evening in my thin slinky viscose nightie, in front of a fan

I drank lots of water in the evening, consequently I woke 3 times just for the loo but still had a very good sleep, glad that the waterworks were functioning properly

Umbrellas are up and all east window shutters and blinds down. Water in the fridge, to join the water melon, coconut water and salad stuff.

So it could be boring today but I won`t let it, I won`t be doing any work but I`ll find things to keep me occupied without moving too much. I have no intention of causing myself to heat up

Good morning from a sunny corner of Essex, where it’s 21° we are expected to get to the mid 30’s.

The Imp is finishing school at lunchtime, so he will be here in the spa pool, the 11yr old is having a taster day at his senior school so will join us at 3pm.

I am going to the gym for my usual class, like FGT2 the air conditioning will be on.

I am worried about Marydoll

Take care 🙋‍♀️

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is 22 degrees and climbing with not a breath of air stirring. Yesterday, in school, it was like a sauna full of hot and grumpy children. I walked there and back which was the sum total of my exercise for the day. When it cooled down a little in the evening, I cut back my spent cornflower plants, and, as always, there are new shoots coming through so I shall have a second flush of flowers.

This afternoon is writer’s group at the library but I’m not sure yet whether I will go, and if I do it certainly won’t be in the car which will be like an oven, even by now.

Have the best day you can, folks.
