When something starts growing in my garden I wait and see what the flowers look like before I pull it up 🤣🤣RelievedSheff said:The clouds are gathering here and there is a cool breeze developing so fingers crossed there is some rain on the way.
The gardens desperately need it, that's for sure.
We are not great gardeners either. It is definitely more luck than judgement if something lives in our garden 🤣🤣🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -
Forgot to say litter picked a full sack of plastic bottles, cans and crisp bags from the park this morning. Blooming kids, put your litter in the bins provided 🤬 The dog managed to get in the natural stream that runs through the park and she was filthy as it’s very muddy 😩
Tonight’s dinner was salmon air fried in one of those paprika paper things with rosemary and garlic air fried potatoes and lots of steamed veg.Been back from Lanzarote a week today 😢14 weeks tomorrow until Zante, bring it on 🥳I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4 -

Zante will definitely be a totally different holiday, fly and flop, far too hot in August to traipse about. We will probably go to the beach in the morning, back to the hotel for lunch, afternoon around the pool, then in the evening a meal out. Thankfully very few shops so no pester from Mr SA, absolute bliss, can’t wait 😎I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

That's Monday done. Worked in the office today. Got lost a few times on my way back from the loo, I'll get used to where everything is eventually. Counted the steps up to my floor - 156!
Mr SA rang me this morning to say he felt very poorly. He's still not well, sore throat and aching. Fingers crossed it's not Covid, although he was complaining that his head hurts where he had the biopsy so hopefully not an infection - I don't know which is worse!
NSD 3/10 today.
Today's exercise is walking to/from work and the stairs plus live strength training later. Veg lasagne and salad for dinner tonight, using up freezer and fridge things.

Oh dear, I hope it's nothing too serious, @Sun_Addict. My nephew's just gone down with Covid. He's avoided it completely up until now, even though most of the rest of his family got it & he's been in school. Just shows the damn thing is still around.
