    For yesterday,

    Made a loaf, did some chores and completed a couple of surveys, earning for May were low and need to pay more attention ☺️

    Off to local farm shop to meet lovely friend for lunch, been a good few months since we last saw each other so plenty of catching up to do.

    We were both good with salads for lunch then went and sat outside to have coffee & millionaires shortbread!

    Home, quick change and then off to the yard, my girlie was just being fetched in and was so pleased to see that, despite her prancing and eager to get in she behaved for the yard person. Helps that the person was chatting away to her so girlie’s focus was held, good to see and most reassuring.

    No football for us but we did enjoy the cricket from Southampton.

    A busy day of in and out!

    Set alarm but was a night of most hours being seen. Achy bits were aching.

    Hospital appointment with DD2. Out/ In

    Went for a scone at old work…rather noisy background noise and friend called so added to the noise and chatted…out 


    Then DD2 called to say could I pick her up as she was finishing work and her car was in garage…even more out.

    Work call on way back…I’ll call you when I’m home…via supermarket…out/ in 

    Two more new services booked in. 

    Had to go to work…out. 

    The most beautiful day and I was working inside and my car was like a furnace when I got back to it. But what a lovely family…

    …briefly in, quick loo visit and then had to take DD2 and The Pup down town (at rush hour) for her car. 

    And in…

    Tea whilst I felt like I was over -heating!

    So I’ve came upstairs opened a window and put the fan on to cool down! Usually when I’m in windows and doors would be open.

    For yesterday,

    A warm & sunny day with a decent breeze so much washing dried on line.

    The roses in our garden are hitting peak loveliness.

    Headed over to see my girl in the morning, filled up her treat ball and she was soon kicking it around the field.

    My beloved had the afternoon off so we headed off to BuryStEds to watch the Salt Path, thoroughly enjoyed and the shots of the West Country made us want to head off there straight away. We went to a silver screen showing at the Ev*ryman so got a free drink and treat which meant for the second day running I had cake in the afternoon!

    The final of Race Across the World.

    Good afternoon

    Been a lovely day here.  A couple of heavy, headachey half hours, but after three huge spots of rain, they went away.

    Went to a new-to-us cafe on Tuesday.  It's by some fishing lakes ( old quarry??  There are lots round there). Anyway we really enjoyed it.  We are in a bit of a rut and need some new things to do.  Had a lovely walk round the lakes afterwards.

    Watched the final of Race Around the World.  I guessed who would win.  Not sure why, but this is the first series we've watched.  But that means we can start from the beginning on catch up 

    Finished a couple of clothing alterations so I'm now ready for summer.  Bring it on !

    Happy teatime everyone
