Good Morning Wednesday 29th July 2026

Other Info I have a enlarged Prostrate which is common for men of my age .

Good morning from a very still, cool Cornwall where I'm about to head out to my patio swing seat with a coffee. My friend and I met at 9am yesterday. At 1o'clock her husband rang and asked if he should make her lunch as well as his. We'd completely lost track of time, chatting under the palm trees. A young dunnock kept us company.

On the way home I came across some workmen with a pile of tanalised timber offcuts and they let me rummage through them. I grabbed one short piece which will serve as a perfect base for the broken china horse my nephew thinks/hopes I can mend.

Today I may take a bus to a different coast, depending on how the temperature is.

That's really good news Mick.

Good morning from s somerset, all windows are open to try and reduce house temperature a bit. It is going to be another hot day

Loads of washing done yesterday, it was drying so very quickly and I have been changing clothes so much. One more wash is on just now, some beautiful bargain price red linen. I fancy making a pinafore dress from that. It is yarn woven and not printed, a deadstock remnant

So back to T shirts and my rookie mistake, I took my measurements yesterday and cannot believe how much my proportions have changed. I suppose it was bound to happen so back to the drawing board and I chucked the other pattern and toiles and have re-printed in the full bust size not the regular size. Much better proportions for my new figure and there is a dart. Its about me accepting changes for old age I suppose. The t shirt reveals all so I need the pattern change

I do need to get to the allotment first thing, followed by another trip to the tip. Yesterday I dismantled 2 two tiered metal etageres. They cannot be revamped any longer. It seems that de-cluttering continues because I will not be replacing them

My aim today is to clean my en suite and my bedroom, followed by making a t shirt in a nicer fabric, I know it is a toile but this one will fit me well. I did the stairs and landing last night so am managing to keep on top of house cleaning, without too much effort

There is a recipe I want to make today, just basic Italian food from my own seasonal produce, enough to keep in the fridge and to freeze too

Good morning from Sheffield
A 3 o clock wake up again. I felt really queasy for some reason. Must be something I ate that has disagreed with me
I’m off to see Odyssey this evening with my son in law. We are movie pals. We like the same sort of films.
I hope I feel well enough for the popcorn.
Working today but I shall go for an early walk. Hopefully perk me up a bit.
Take care everyone

Good morning from a clear Bristol.
Goodness, I had a good night, unaided by any wine/pill! I must have been more tired than I thought.💭
Yesterday was technically empty, so I topped up my marmalade stocks, did some sewing.
The big thing was a blizzard of messages on the residents’ WhatsApp group regarding the painting and repairs. The painters have been doing a dreadful job and I have twice reported them Teflon who, for once, didn’t fob me off with platitudes.
Another resident complained that her fogged window which was “regaled”, had been told that someone would call to measure (for the umpteenth time) to replace it. They never came - again.
Finally, after coming occasionally, the painters seem to have taken all their equipment. Given up? Apparently not. Coming back in 3 weeks. Really? We shall see.
Teflon is coming this afternoon for our scheduled monthly meeting to “discuss” our repairs and complaints. Poor man, I feel sorry for him now, after being exasperated by him.
FAB first this morning. I suspect we shall be busy after missing a week - besides, the punters will want to see what all the fuss was about. The chandeliers look lovely, and heaters will have been installed in the north and south aisles.
Have a good day all; hugs to mountaineers. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
