Things can only get better

We’re more confident for travel next year. Have Barcelona booked for next June, which was carried over from this year , which was carried over from last year. Starting to have a look for a weeks holiday abroad for next July. Easyjet prices aren’t bad at the moment. People I know who have gone abroad this year have enjoyed it and said they are glad they have done it, so fingers crossed for next year.x

DGD has been watching You Tube tutorials on how to cut your own hair. While DIL was out and DS was looking after the kids, she has managed to give herself a rather haphazard layered haircut 😱 DS was out of the room bathing DGS at the time. Her hairdresser is going to do what she can but she might have to go short. Reminds me of the time when DS cut off DD’s fringe with some plastic scissors, they were 4 and 2 at the time and it was just before we were going on holiday 😩

Well the English fizz is gorgeous. Got it from the Dropstore. Tempted to buy some more. I bought the 3 gins for £30 which are lovely too, if you spend £40 it’s free delivery so popped in the fizz to make it up to £40. The gins are violet, elderflower and plain, all full sized bottles and full strength not liqueur gins.  Absolute bargain.

Unfortunately the fizz is sold out 😢 What a shame. The gin is still in stock though.

Fizz and gin sounds good mate - how sweet is the fizz? 

Fml re the grandkids, funny though. I can remember my sister doing a number on dolls hair when we were kids - it was all she ever did with them, cut their hair very !!!!!! badly and for some reason my parents thought it was amazing. Good !!!!!! job she didn't become a hairdresser tbh.

Elderflower gin sounds amazing!

The fizz is dry @alt80, I like my wine bone dry, can’t drink sweet wine. Brand is Smith & Evans Higher Plot Somerset Pinot-Chardonnay. Always worth keeping an eye on The Dropstore as they do some amazing deals. Some good gift sets and merchandise for birthday/Christmas gifts too.

Happy Sunday 🥳

Today should be NSD7 of August, struggling to hit double figures this month but always knew it was going to be a spendy one.

Didn’t get the spare room cleared yesterday so a job for today. We were out twice with the dog yesterday, the second walk was a long one. Mr SA is very restless, must be the brain injury, and he’ll go from dozing in his chair to having his coat on ready to go out in seconds. I can’t seem to make him understand we can’t keep going out constantly when there are things to do in the house. 

Making a cherry tomato risotto for my dinner tonight as have quite a few cherry tomatoes ready for picking. Steak for Mr SA. 

Need to make a list of jobs to do in the garden next week while the plasterer/painter is here. Hopefully the weather will be warm enough to sit on my sun lounger with a book at some stage. At least Mr SA won’t be pestering to go somewhere every day as we can’t really leave the work bloke on his own. I’m already wondering if I could get away with sneaking off out by myself 🤔

The weather has been odd today, very warm, bright sunshine one minute, showers the next. Got lots of washing dry which was a bonus. 

Went for a long walk with the dog this morning. Bit of a test run to the pub we plan to go to next Sunday where they’re having a charity event with stalls and a band. Mr SA isn’t really interested in going, have told him I’m prepared to go alone if need be, it sounds like a good event. 

The spare room is cleared. Decided to get rid of the old dressing table, stool and mirror so have left them at the end of the drive and put a message on two local FB groups. They’re all in good condition, in fact the stool is brand new as it came free with my work desk. Just noticed the stool has gone already.
