Good Morning Sunday 5th July 2026

Good morning from Malta where it is to be sunny and 36°C.

Thank you for your kind comments about DGD. I’m afraid I don’t really understand the rules of softball nor where it gets its name as the balls are extremely hard! She hopes it will lead to a College scholarship. She wants to be an anaesthetist. Here’s a photo of her ready to bat!

I did a bit of laundry yesterday after half an hour on my cross trainer, then walked up to the village as I needed some cash from the machine. Stopped for a coffee before walking home again.

Watched tennis off and on for most of the day. Some good matches but I still miss Alcaraz.

This morning I will do half an hour on the machine and go to Mass. We are lucky to have a/c in our local sanctuary. Most churches in Malta are so hot, even with fans it is hard to sit through a service.

Hope you all have a good day.☀️

Good morning from Bristol. It’s still quite cool. Yesterday was very breezy, too unpleasant to sit outside.
I’m fortunate that the flat is reasonably cool and, facing north, it never gets much direct sun.
bellas, your DGD sounds a very sensible girls; iti Useful to have a good sporty hobby when doing something academic.
The tomato plants in my pots are getting fruit. I water them once or twice daily, so they never under water stress.
It’s our patronal festival today, Sts. Peter and Paul, on top of being our centennial.so a fancy evensong has been arranged - a come and sing affair. Apparently, they will be singing some Stanford. At least, it won’t be atonal and all that. My voice is too cracked and I can’t read music, so I shan’t be singing, but shall go to church a second time.
I hope you have a blessed Sunday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from south Glos, high clouds here at the moment; I see another heatwave is looming this week 🥵
I sorted out the bigger posts yesterday, today I just need to chop back some of the Japanese anaemones that have spread too far then that’s pretty much the back garden done. I spent some time deadheading the roses yesterday, my big yellow one smells of sherbet and is an old fashion rose. Simply divine.
I grow my tomatoes in pots that are standing in water all the time grandMattie, you just add feed to the water they’re in. They thrive and you have no need to worry about them drying out. I have a deep tray under 3 of them, and one standing in an old washing up bowl. My father always grew his like this.
Best wishes for you all x

Good morning from a damp Stockport.
I had a lovey meal out with my GD but really the cost of eating out is rising so fast.
I’m not surprised that so many pubs and restaurants are closing.
My new gardeners did a really good job of clearing my overgrown garden yesterday, they are going to come every two weeks and I hope in a few weeks to have a garden my H would have approved of, he would not have liked the way it has been neglected.
I hope the unwell amongst you feel somewhat better and carers are coping.
Have the best Sunday you can.

Good morning from my corner of S E Essex, it is forecast to be a glorious day, so I shall be on my sun lounger in the garden in the dappled shade.

First thing I am ferrying the 11 yr old to his football club’s tournament day, he has to be there for 8.15am. It’s going to,be a long day for him.

Thinking of all our poorly morning friends 🙋‍♀️

Good morning from Sheffield

The show last night was fabulous, my daughter and I had a great time. Our food at Egos was excellent too. One of the stars in the show is a member of Fascinating Aida. They are touring next year so I booked to see them too, they are so clever and funny

I am cycling this morning, I feel as though I need some exercise. Then a quiet afternoon and evening . The sausages will need a walk at some point too.

Take care everyone
