Good Morning Friday, 28th August 2026

Good morning on a lovely winters day, it is about 20° and you can feel that spring is just a few days away.

I have spent the morning messing about with batteries and solar panels. Changed one of the panels on my car port roof to see if it charges the aux battery in my car any better than the old one.

Made a quick trip down the road to the chemist because my blood pressure tablets are just about out, I just forgot to replace them.

Have a fantastic Friday.

Take care…

A quick Good morning everybody as I rush round getting ready for work

It’s a lovely day and I’d rather go for a walk by the sea but I’ve said I’ll be in today ……hopefully the weather holds as it’s a long weekend and I’ll have plenty of time for walks :crossed_fingers:

Enjoy your weekend

Just back from Sports Direct as “er indoors” wanted new shoes. Waiting to pay behind a man with one leg. He asked the assistant behind the counter where they kept the pairs of flip flips.

Hi

Good Morning All.

An interesting night, starting with the longest and loudest rolls of thunder I have ever heard, but no rain here.

In the early hours I had one of my Unstable Angina Attacks, te staff could not find the key for the Controlled Drugs cabinet quickly, so I ended up a right mess.

The important thing is that I am still here.

Have a great day all.

Hope everyone’s having a good day so far…

Just been clearing up in the garden after yesterday evenings ‘monsoon’ here in the west midlands.
We had the most amazing storm between 7 and 8 pm - i literally stood in the garden watching the black storm clouds roll in, the thunder and lightening were magnificent, and as the rain started to lash down, i had to dive for cover!

Sunshine today and around 20 degrees, so not too bad.

Bank holiday weekend coming up - hope to be out in the town as we have quite a lot going on. Expecting hoards of visitors and tourists here as usual.

Take care all

Good morning to you all!

Swimmy, another adventure for you to have gotten through! What a tough guy you are!
Not to make light of your recent situation, but I will behave myself for a day or two.
I will refrain from doing anything that will simply take your breath away. It seems you can do that all by your lonesome.

Good morning everyone. I’m quite new to the forum, so I’m still finding my way around and getting to know everyone. I’m sorry to hear you had such a difficult night, but I’m very glad to hear you’re still here and feeling able to share this morning. Life certainly has a way of reminding us to appreciate each day.

Wishing you a peaceful and much better day ahead. I look forward to getting to know some of you and making a few genuine connections along the way. Take good care of yourself. :tulip:

President Trump has really lost his mind. He now wants to rename the Atlantic and Pacific oceans as the sea of America . I don’t understand how such a mentally disturbed person can hold such an office . This is after trying to change the name of a lake in Canada and the gulf of Mexico as the gulf of America. Oh also wants to claim the Suez canal as American owned, that is on top of trying to make Canada as part of America.
Every business venture of his failed-, he pulls down part of the Whitehouse let alone being able to read and understand the declaration of Independence as seen on social media platforms. to top it all he now claims he invented/made a tapered flag pole??? :017:

I would love to have some of our American members explain it to me

There is simply no explanation for our representatives in Congress, Dept. heads, Justice system, or anyone else to justify what Trump is getting away with.

Sane Americans like myself are baffled, dismayed, disgusted, and downright abhor the fact no one will stand up to this lunatic. It’s beyond comprehension to us who live here.

If ever you get a glimmer of an answer, please do share.

That sounds like a pretty good day actually :blush: Art class, coffee and a bit of gossip is a hard combination to beat. And wow, that festival site looks like they’ve really transformed the place! I hope you’re keeping cool too. What kind of things do you like painting in your art class?
