Bala was just wondering about you. Glad you're back, and have had a good week.
Suffolk Sue thinking about you as always.
Nothing much to report. Taking life slowly ( even more slowly than usual) until DH recovers fully. Lots of cutting back and pulling up to do in the garden tho so that's keeping.me quiet.
Meat and potato pie , followed by brownies for tea. Got it half right, BoP
Happy 🌞Sunday everyone

Just warned her she probably won’t get that much every week!After a very wet start it brightened into a beautiful day, I’ve just sat with patio doors open watching the sunset.Paid for my job yesterday . And got good feedback so was pleased with that.
Was told my soup today was amazing! I know!Nice chat to friend,

Today’s pleasures:
Walking market with my sister, niece and great niece in my sister’s home town.
Lots of walking in the sunshine ☀️ to add to the steps but not many bargains! Not that I’m buying anything much at the moment.
Home to a dip in the hot tub for the first time in three weeks.
Easy dinner of pizzas.
Then an evening dip in the hot tub listening to Rod Stewart on my headphones- bliss 😊.
Night all 😊10 -
Pleasures for today (Sunday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Cleared out all the lego so there is an under bed storage box free for bigger son's cameras and Go Pro. Put it on Ebay in bags of 1 kg each and gave the surplus and base boards to my niece.
3) Hens well. Cleaned their sleeping quarters out and picked courgettes.
4) Cleaned the bathroom.
5) Made a big curry for tea (with extra base for the freezer) plus naan bread and popadums from the Asian supermarket the other day.
6) Went to sit round the fire (outside) at my sister's and had a cup of tea.10 -
For the last couple of days
Saturday
1. Met a friend for coffee. Had a good catch up and it was needed.
2. Home and the house was empty. Had a peaceful hour reading.
3. Did some gardening and enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
4. Chat with DS1 when he came home from work and he had a date. I'm so pleased that he is going out again. He said it went well. He is more content now and is pleased his house purchase seems to be going ok.
5. Meal out with DH. Good food.
Sunday
1. Went to Wakehurst place. Loved walking round. It was very busy with lots of extended families and groups of people making the most of being able to meet before Monday. At times we have been and felt we were the only ones there.
2. Late lunch at home and I enjoyed my wrap with grated cheese and grated carrot with lettuce.
3. More gardening and with DH finished planting shrubs which will form a hedge between us and our neighbours.I
4. Had a glass of wine at dusk in the garden watching the bats and listening to owls.
5. An early night.9 -
Had a terrible night's sleep Saturday then in a total flap and 10 mins late for church duty oops. May be worrying about the train journey, worrying about spending nearly a week with the ex in a confined space, all the work i need to do, the new lockdown rules (more austere in Scotland than England unless you have young children which i don't) but 5 good things
1) calmed down when i got to church and all went well
2) then lovely coffee with a super couple
3) home via mr l to a bowl of hm sweetcorn chowder
4) mennies for our weekly 5pm meet-up (which will become much more difficult with monday's rules). watched the 2nd half of the TH Everton game, celebrated the leicester win with he who didn't want coffee, commiserated with those supporting Dundee United, celebrated the cricket win, tried to understand the american football game on after and failed but a good laugh
5) then walked home by he who didn't want coffee but did kindly show me where mars, jupiter and saturn were.
then another bowl of the sweetcorn chowder, a walk with the dogs, and of course i showed them mars, jupiter and saturn. it was a lovely evening, and i slept very well :-)MrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025

Good afternoon
Another day, another hospital trip! One of DH surgery wounds is not healing properly. Inflamed and obviously infected. I drove him to the door of the clinic, threw him out ( metaphorically) and went to look for a parking space. 30 mins later I gave up, parked about 10 mins away and walked back . Anyway, the good news is he has stronger antibiotics, and a follow up appointment for Thursday. It's reassuring that it's being taken seriously. And I had plenty of practice at driving slowly,three point turns and hill starts!
So now he's asleep in bed and I'm taking advantage of the unbelievably glorious weather.
Happy very 🌞🌞 day everyone
