Good Morning Bank Holiday Monday 31st August 2026

Good morning from a rather damp Bristol. It has rained in the evening or night, not a lot.
bellas, I was sorry to hear about your DGS’s asthma attack. Could you have an inhaler permanently at your flat, in case of such events?
Yesterday was very quiet, so I made soup, some nutty cookies for this afternoon, and some sewing. I did do a lot of reading, gripped by a sweet but inconsequential book. Light after a rather heavy biography of Cardinal Wolsey.
Tesco this morning, then I’m inviting the lonely residents for a cuppa this afternoon. One can feel very alone on holidays, where one’s family is away doing all sorts, and this at the end of a long empty month.
I hope you have a joyful bank holiday. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🐦‍🔥🦩🦩

Good morning from a dry Torbay with a fine day forecast. Yesterday we had several short, sharp showers.

Unfortunately, my DGS3 wasn’t well yesterday when he visited with my DS so we stayed indoors. DGS is 10 and quite an old fashioned lad in his conversation. After I’d enquired about his recent holiday in Majorca, he turned to me and said, “And what’s been going on in your life?”

I’m returning to my exercise class today after a few weeks’ absence. No doubt I’ll be forced to participate seated at times, depending on how my knees co-operate.

Have a good Bank Holiday, everyone! How kind of you to invite lonely folk to be in company, grandMattie!
