Glad you weren't poisoned by the potato 😁
I don't think it's stopped raining all day where I am and last night we had torrential rain, thunder and lightening. Come back sunshine all is forgiven 😎 Hope you had a good day at work today.

Glad to hear you didn't poison yourself with dodgy potatoes, OBL......I did something similar once (with potatoes) & felt off for a couple of days.

Today was very pleasant. I got up at 9.30 after dreaming I was already up😀I woke up and was so surprised to find myself still in bed 🙀 I had a nice relaxed breakfast and then trotted off to work. Work was ok apart from being unbearably hot, it was a bit busier today so a bit more stimulating.
I did find time to do some online training on how to look after and communicate with children and young people suffering with mental health problems, we quite often don't feel very confident in this area because we don't really get a lot of training on it, but I was reassured to know that most of the things they recommend are things I try to do anyway
Tomorrow I am meeting with DD1 and DGS1 and we are going to go for a walk down to the river to feed the ducks. I haven't seen DGS since the 17th of March so I'm looking forward to seeing him😍 I will also take B with me so I can combine her morning walk with a trip to the river, she loves going down there and always tries to drag us in that direction when we are anywhere near it😊I'm just hoping the rain eases off a bit otherwise we are going to get very wet, we do all have waterproof coats and shoes but it would be more pleasant if it's dryOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8945 -
That sounds like a lovely day OBL. I am sure B will enjoy it too.
I haven't managed to get out for a walk. It rained continuously yesterday and I even had to bring the rabbit into the house for an hour just so he was out of his hutch. He sits in the rain otherwise and wonders why he gets wet.September 2017 Debt = £25330

You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x4 -
Just caught up on your diary OBL and wanted to say a belated Happy birthday and well done to your DD2 for getting the new job.
Like you I am dismayed at some people's behaviour since the lockdown restrictions eased and we have the same level of not following guidelines, drinking and anti social behaviour in our local town which is not too far from yours. We met our DD2 and her family for a picnic yesterday morning down by our river and my son in law and I spent 15 minutes picking up other people's litter to take home. All of us, the 2 year old DGD2 included were appalled at why people do this. It is a real bugbear of mine now.
I hope you managed to miss the rain.

Hope you had a nice day. My smallest was really upset yesterday as he couldn't go on the trampoline. Apparently the sun was being 'just too lazy, it isn't sucking up all the rain from the ground, it's the middle of summer it needs to do it's job', proper made me laugh 😂Debt free Feb 2021 🎉3
