Up early.

Went out about 8.15am and had a quick swim and then hot shower and then home.
Hung out a washing which had a couple of rinses on the line with rain.
Popped round to see The Baby and her Mama for an hour ( at their request…I don’t just turn up) and met friend on the walk back so had a nice chat.
And then out to work this evening. Meeting a family.

Rubbish night with a sicky dog.
Out early to go to GP with DD2

Home and had a work zoom meeting.

Then back round to DD2 then home!

Then had a snoozette ( needed after my disturbed night)

And then sitting at the table writing and writing. Most of it done and will finish in the morning.

Chat to friend.

It’s dull and dismal like a winter night . Absolutely pouring rain.

The caravan has been pulled up to clean I reckon at least the solar panels can now work.

Sliced up a watermelon and in this weather it seems amazing.

The house is dragged up to clean – again.

Rhubarb has had two doses of steroids and touch wood today they seem to be kicking in, I’m hoping.

I couldn’t login yesterday so for Monday

A non working day which is always lovely

Reading my book in the garden

Watered the veg patch

Sorted out a cupboard which looks tidy now

Went to quiz night with DS1 and DIL. It was a fun evening and we came 2nd. Chatting to a few of the regulars

For yesterday

Seeing a bin man returning bins to a side gate and the elderly lady thanking him from her window. It seemed like a weekly interaction.

Messages with a friend.

Some lovely patients and parents at work. A couple of the children weren’t cooperative but if a parent helps and aren’t on their phones I’m happy.

Seeing fields with the hay bales in.

Lasagna from the freezer for tea which was good and saved me cooking.

Highdays

Morning all.

Yikes, it's hot hot again as opposed to just hot. Top end of bearable but I think probably hotter further south. I like January!!!

Recent pleasures|:

1. Few days away with brother and SIL, a big pleasure as always. The forecast rain didn't materialise, it was sunny and warm but very windy on the first day. Lots of chatting and laughing and catching up, we all love our weekends away together. Very lucky. Next time our other brother and SIL will be joiming us for a few days away too.
2. Always a pleasure to come home and settle back into 'real life' again.
3. Back into the routine of lunchtime walks with my lad, good to catch up with him. Also helps my leg which is still swollen but feels better after a walk.
4. Middle grandson has got himself a summer job in a nearby factory. He is on the 2-10pm shift and has done two days so far, complained his feet hurt but otherwise so far so good.
5. A lovely easy day today pootling and pottering. A lunchtime walk but otherwise pootling and pottering, two things I do best.

Have a good day whatever you are up to.

Writing from my bed…had enough of sofa! Dog still in his crate though.

Rubbish sleep on sofa! ( hence bed tonight)

Working for a bit and service sent off. And amendments and add ons have been done this evening! Love a quick reply! ( but also appreciate why it isn’t always so)

Zoomed down for a swim. Not the warmest of days but once you’re in , you’re in! Good chatter today.

Zoom home. Hello dog would you like an early lunch? It seems he would.

Back out again…multitasking and chatting to sister as I walked to DD2. Chat with DD1 whilst there.

Then it was off out to hospital. Had lunch first and then appointment.
And came out and it was raining.

Home to mine. Baby cuddles. DD2 got a wee nap, then it was bath-time ( in the sink) and jammies on and a bedtime story…then they left for home.

And before I knew it was 9pm!

For the last few days,

Another heatwave culminating in 34 degrees yesterday afternoon, humans and animals trying to stay as cool as possible.

But it’s summer! The Swifts are screeching as they race around the cottage and then head for their nest under the eaves at breakneck speed.

A big dragon fly hunting for insects around the apple tree.

Oh the bliss of air-con in the car.

My big girl was brought in early and sponged down with cool lavender water. Left happy with a big pile of haylage.

C dog found a cool spot on the wooden floor in direct line of an open window and snoozed her day away.

The most beautiful full moon and crystals left out to recharge.

For yesterday

It was hot and I live the heat On walk to bus still a slight chill but on way home I loved the heat and no breeze.

Chat to my mum on the way home. She has a busy social life now.

Photo of granddaughter passport followed by a cute one of her wearing an enormous sun hat. They are going on holiday in September.

I was allowed time to go and see a friend,retired colleague, on the ward upstairs. Had to work through my lunch. Boss wasn’t keen on letting me go up. Friend was remarkably good after a general anaesthetic.

Messages with an old friend who is moving soon. She is excited about a new start.

sun is shining…after being a bit grey today.

it’s a dog boy’s birthday and he has had a nice day regardless of his being a bit poorly…so no birthday beach or birthday countryside but a bit of birthday garden…some nice birthday meals and lots of lovely messages read out to him and we had a birthday doughnut!

Hairdressers first thing, hurrah as it was really due a couple of weeks ago.
Went to supermarket and tried to buy things I will use. And got a free bag of crisps .

Home and hello doggy…a teeny bit of work and then popped in to town with DD2. She was popping in to her work. And I went to get a few things I needed for tomorrow.

Back home to mine, The Baby has had a decent nap here…this is novel! Currently still sleeping…as I type that very quietly 😆

Checking in with various people…a few friends having tougher times so trying to keep in touch.
