Good Morning Tuesday 4th August 2026

Good morning from a dry, dawning Bristol. It was hot yesterday, especially with the day-long cloud cover.
r&l, you will be much in my thoughts today, you and the surgical team. 🫂
Nothing much to report. Today, I’ll be baking for the FAB cafe now monthly live concert 🎶 tomorrow. I start early - 830ish and am usually done by 11 at the latest, before it get too hot. The rest of the day is empty.
I’ve started to assemble the quilt I’ve been making, so a lot of hand sewing.
Keeps safe in this return of heat, mountaineers especially.
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

r&l thinking of you today

Good morning from Malta where it is already 29°C in my living room. The high today is 40°C.

I didn’t manage to post yesterday as my two Treasures had me on a string!😅. They were as good as gold but I was worn out by the time DD3 picked them up after lunch having enjoyed her concert and lie-in!

A lovely young man came to measure for the blinds for the patio doors in the living room. They are eye-wateringly expensive but worth it I think and will be more use than the net curtain I’ve had for ten years and am sick of!

Today I have a hair appointment after which I shall join my youngest nephew and family who are over here on holiday from Kent. DD3 and the boys will be having lunch with them and I will join them for coffee. My nephew and DD3 were born a day apart and he has a little boy a bit older than our two.

My thoughts are also with you RosesandLilac. You have been so incredibly brave whilst enduring an agonisingly long wait and we are all with you today and in the days that follow.🙏🏻

Wishing a good day to you all.☀️
