Good Morning Monday 24th August 2026

Good morning from Bristol where, like mick, it’s dark and dry.
Yesterday was very quiet. After church, I saw/spoke to no one for the rest of the day. I did, however, get on quite well with my quilt. It’s going to be colourful.
Today will also be quiet, other than a trip to Tesco.
Have a good day,everyone. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where it is to be sunny and 39°C.

Had a lovely day with the boys yesterday. They are the best company and we had a lot of laughs. I had them until 4.30 pm when DD3 came for them. It felt so quiet after they’d gone but I tidied up, had a shower and did very little for the rest of the day!

Tried to stay up to watch the tennis final from Cincinnati, but I couldn’t keep my eyes open so had to give up on it.

No plans for today other than a bit of ironing.

Hope you all have a good day and a happy week.☀️

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 7° and dawn is just breaking. There's a little condensation on the windows. Bellasnana I'm glad you had a good time with your boys.
Yesterday was productive. I stocked up at aldi, did a final wash and hung it out. Then some housework and two batches of cookies. Apparently dgs2 tried my raspberry jam and loves it, so more of that to make during the week. Later in the day, I caught up with the ironing and put it all away. All small things but they make me happy.
Today is early childcare day. I'll drop off the boys later then come home. I have some admin tasks to catch up on before I do a stint at the school library. Then I will pick up the boys and they will eat me out of house and home before they are collected. Dinner will be stories. Have a good day all.

Btw, it’s 12C here, rising to 25C.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is clear and cool. 9 rising to 20 today, so comfortable. Apart from some laundry yesterday I didn’t do a lot, but, as my cold seemed to be well on the mend, I went for a walk and ventured into the reed bed which I don’t normally do on my own, but it makes the walk into a loop so more interesting. I’ve never seen the reeds so lush and high. It was difficult to see the path without moving them aside with my stick. It didn’t make for easy walking. I shalln’t go again until the reed warblers come back next Spring. I like to stand in the reeds and listen to them calling to one another. They have been breeding in there every year for some time now and just knowing that is, in itself, is a joy.

Not sure what's on the agenda today. Suck it and see!

Have the best day you can, folks

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny Northampton, a fine dry day ahead.

A pleasant afternoon yesterday spent with DS and family; was able to congratulate the DGDs on their excellent exam results. Two bottles.of fizz were opened and we also demolished a chocolate cake! DS also fixed my printer which had been showing as off-line.

Yoga first thing, and I don't have to catch the bus this morning as my friend has completed her childcare duties.
Home for lunch, then a visit to the podiatrist, hoping for nicely cut nails and smooth feet!

Ham egg and chips for dinner, one of my favourites!

Wishing all a pleasant cooler Monday.

Morning all from West Oxfordshire. It should be a balmy 23 today with no rain.

Our cleaner should be here this morning and I’ll do a Waitrose shop.

My new ice cream mix should be delivered today. Also the fabric I’ve ordered for the backing of my quilt. I showed the quilt to my daughter yesterday and she asked me if she could have it when it’s finished! Mmm,

Have a good day everyone. I hope FGT is enjoying her holiday.

Ice cream machine!
