Workety work day number one done. Kept going though not at all crazy which makes a very pleasant change. 

Up early and time with my doggy before going out. 

He’s had company for a big chunk of the day…hmmm at the little pile of dishes that’s were left though! 

A friend handed in 2 bags of mini eggs for me but I shared them out with two colleagues I’d just eat them! 

Okay tips. 

And home. Hello doggy. It is very nice to see you too.

for yesterday
1) another 3 points for the hatters bop
2) met some alumni - the wonderful thing about 5500 alumni is wherever I go in the world to medical education conferences (and often just on holiday!) I meet alumni and current students
3) braved the gym and went on a cycle ride 'through Canadian countryside' (ie stationary bike with video) - was wondering what to do when I approached the road works - the man on the screen waved me through and I even overtook another cyclist 🤣
4) supper in the old town then a walk through the battlements
5) and 2 episodes of Shetland series 7 courtesy of youtube

@LaineyT iris is a most excellent sing along song.

1) a lay in

2) a 5 mile walk in hazy sunshine

3) popped into the local ethnic shop and bought frozen naan (yes I know how to make them but was hungry on the way back from my walk) - heated them and topped like a pizza for lunch… very tasty and will be repeated.

4) seeing friends

5) actually feeling sleepy at 10 pm.

Reporting back after a very good supper. for today
1) woke at 4am zzzzz then properly woke 6am and went for a fabulous walk to the ferry area then back via Cap Diamant
2) which looked impenetrable but a local guided me to where I could get back up though did warn me it's 400 steps!!! back to the hotel in time for a quick change and a well deserved petit dejeuner at 8
3) more alumni, 2 workshops (went very well, first on mentoring / coaching, second on remediation)
4) supper - colleague's 36th - i had chips with gravy and curds (a local delicacy and a favourite of Dr M) - goodness it's filling! very tasty but had to leave half
5) and now back for episode 3 of Shetland. last day of conference tomorrow.

@Dundee Doll - that's what I would like - a stationary bike with videos. Just think of wandering around the Netherlands or parts of the British Isles on the bike. I wish I had a treadmill that had videos also. I might be more willing to exercise if I could "take a vacation" while I exercise!

Good morning

Frith - the house looks lovely.  And a good size garden too.

D Doll - it's good when a work trip is to somewhere so interesting

VJ'S mum - this seems to be a particularly nasty strain of covid. I hope you feel better soon.

A good weekend

Fri night we went for a meal with DD and partner to celebrate her promotion.  The meal was excellent and those two are such good company so it was a great night.

Sat pm I  went round to DS for a while.  Eldest DGD had gone to see Mamma Mia with DDiL so I chatted to DS and played with the other two.  A good way to spend an afternoon.

DD and partner went to Majorca yesterday.  At tea time she face timed us to say they are engaged.  A complete surprise to her so she's very giddy! So pleased for them both.

A very busy weekend.

Yoga is back on this morning.  I shall need the relaxation bit!

Happy Monday everyone

For yesterday,

Bacon butties and catching up on all things Ambridge.

Out in the garden, Capt S has finished my cold frame so got some seeds planted up, two varieties of tomatoes, carrots and beetroot.

Made some cheese scones.

DB and SIL came over for a cuppa & a catch up, lovely to see them.

Evening walk with beloved and small dog, home to glass of wine and nibbles.

Frith, the place looks lovely.

DD, oh wow, I hope you get time to enjoy, I know it sounds daft but when we go back there i really want to see / experience a sports game there either base ball or ice hockey,,,

1 In my ploughing to try and help with freezer space I cooked up a 75% off turkey crown, it made the house smell lovely, popped greenery, chips and yorkie with it for a meal, leftovers will be a curry tomorrow.

2 Defrosted the very blocked up freezer which took a lot longer than anticipated, numerous hot waters and a hair dryer, one freezer to go.

3 I moved some bulbs that were dying from containers to the ground in the front garden and planted up some herbs. Planted a Lavandula by the front door.

4 I have to admit I’ve stopped buying kindle books as I prefer the physical book, but I couldn’t resist when I saw the author on deal.

5 Leftover strawberries and blackberries with elmlea.

 

No sleep last night but fell asleep first thing of course.

1 Various admin things done, had to book in for a blood test, order the ferrets food which arrives over a 3-day time slot not so helpful but we are used to it now, and sorted a repeat prescription for ferret heart meds, yikes the prices have all gone up at some point will I get used to it???

2 Trying to eat better today we had porridge, and dinner is from the freezer, haddock with cawli/brocli with a cheese sauce. Snacks will be strawbs, I’m also going to try Zumba classes, should be er entertaining.

3 Emptied and moved a garden storage shed away from the fence in preparation for painting the fence tomorrow, also created 4 bags of tip run stuff as de cluttering weather garden bits.

4 Bird feeders sorted and repaired and a visit from the woodpecker.
