Good Morning Tuesday 8th September 2026

Good morning from a damp Bristol. It has rained a little in the night and we are set for a moist morning.
Yesterday was (sort of) quiet. A quick Tesco shop, the home for the crest of the day.
The last of the scaffolding was put up around my flat, one pole about 2 feet from the exact middle of my front door! Considering that he painting etc., started at the end of April and was due to take “10-12 weeks”, with everything signed off last Friday, the residents are not happy. At least, the vocal ones aren’t. The rest are content to grumble but do absolutely nothing about it.
I’m joining three other residents this afternoon to assess what has/hasn’t been done and report back to the management: whether “they” will take any notice is quite another story.
After that, I’ve got a meeting of the local old age charities, advisory group.
I hope madeleine’s” leg improves, that *fgt’s tummy bug doesn’t spoil her little jaunt, and that everyone else has a good day.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs from South Yorkshire where it is still dark and I’ve been awake since twenty to two😩! All attempts to get back to sleep have failed and then you pass the point of no return where you’re afraid to drop off. I have an early chiropractor appointment this morning which entails a drive, so I couldn’t risk oversleeping.

Yesterday I went and ordered a new fridge. It’s basically the same make and model as the one it’s replacing but really not as well made and I’ll be lucky if it lasts as long - though having said that, at my age it could outlast me!

This afternoon I am back at school with a new cohort of Year3 readers. I hope they’ll be kind to me😂! Mind you, I might be asleep with my head on the desk by two o’clock!!

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning from s somerset, a dismal start to the day, dark skies, cool and rainy but good weather for the ground, which is bone dry and like a dust bowl

I did a quick allotment visit yesterday and pulled up all my desiccated and ruined cabbages. Cleared a few tomato plants from another bed and have prepped that bed for allium planting, which will happen in a few weeks. The squashes are hardening nicely

Maddison top 2 is now half finished, very quick to make and cosier than t shirts. Spiders are emerging in the house and disappearing beforeI can get the vac cleaner, I must collect conkers this year. There are at least two lurking in my bedroom

I made a meat order, not a lot because it is grass fed organic and very expensive. It could last a year as I always make it stretch and that will be delivered next week. Today I am going to make a batch of ready meals for the freezer, mild curries

No other work for me, just a bit of the daily pottering and knitting. I have to do a lot of driving tomorrow and need the rest today

Good morning from Malta where it is still dark but a sunny day is promised with a high of 36°C.

Thoroughly enjoyed having the boys all day yesterday, they really are such sweet little chaps, always on the go but full of enthusiasm and such good company.

At around 3pm DGS1 brought a pillow which he plonked on me then climbed on my knee and went to sleep. I was pinned under him for an hour and a half but I didn’t mind as I love how he felt safe and loved enough to sleep on me., plus I could watch those precious little faces for ages.

His brother also gave in and had a nap next to us on the sofa so I was able to have 40 winks as well!

I miss them. The house is so quiet without them but I am having them several times this week and next so will look forward to it.

It is a public holiday here today, Victory Day ( victory of the Knights of St. John against the Turks in 1565). It is also our village festa dedicated to the Nativity of Our Lady.

I have some ironing to do but not much else. A nap will be necessary as I shall be getting up at silly o’clock tomorrow to watch Alcaraz v Shelton.

Wishing you all a good day.☀️

Good morning from dark and breezy South Lanarkshire.

Made a start on my crocheted Christmas angels last night, it’s a pleasant way to pass the time while listening to an audiobook or a radio programme, our yarn group will produce hundreds of them over the next three months ready for our annual give away.

Charity shop today, I’m hoping that the dust has settled after recent events and we can all enjoy working together again.

Wishing everyone the best day possible.
