Time to Face The Music

Pub was shut this morning for unknown reasons so we didn't get a pub breakfast!

The other half has decided he is going to repaint and varnish the beer garden sign today. Not sure why but it will keep him quiet and out of trouble for a few hours 😃

I put my oven racks, burners, pan holders and filters from the fan in the dishwasher but without a cleaning tablet as they discoloured my filters once (they cleaned up with a wire scoured 😁) The heat seems to do a pretty good job and I just scour any stubborn bits off.
The woods look idyllic.

It will be a no spends day today. Number 7 for August.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was a bacon and egg sandwich, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is chicken enchiladas. 

We are hoping it will be a bit cooler tonight so we can walk the dog after work. No jobs other than that though. We got a lot of housework done over the weekend so we can have a couple of nights off.

Hope the dog enjoys a cooler walk

It never really cooled down as much as forecast. The rain never came either which is a shame. We were looking forward to some good down pours.

Still hot and stuffy this morning although not forecast to be anywhere near as hot here today. Only 24 degrees today!!

Not a no spends day today. I need to go and do the weekly shop after work today.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. It was toast for breakfast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is vegetable madras with lime and coriander rice, vegetable samosa and garlic naan bread.

Tonight's jobs are:

• walking the dog
• load of washing which should be dry and ready to put away when we get home
• the weekly shop
• putting away the shopping

Turns out it was a no spends day after all. The supermarket was a tad wet and the drive back home a bit erm, exciting shall we say.



Eventually managed to get home safe and with the car intact and dry which looked doubtful a couple of times!

Not a no spends day today. I have been to the big Mr T this morning on the way to work to do the shopping I should have done last night.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is steak, chips, onion rings, stuffed mushrooms, grilled pepper and grilled tomatoes.

Tonight's jobs are:

• cleaning the kitchen
• walking the dog

Somehow we have had a not bad drive into work which considering the many hours of heavy rain we had last night is somewhat of a miracle. I guess the clean up begins today for the people who's homes and property were deluged last night

Wow that was some rain! We had a flash flood yesterday afternoon and the rain was running down our road like the rapids! Fortunately, although our road is flat, it's at the top of some very steep hills and the rain just runs down it. Not sure how those in the valley have fared though.
