    Have now developed a cough, but Covid tests still negative , so will carry on. Today is Coronation street party for the DGC at their house so I will be joining them later. Off to see mum and dad first the sun is shining so hopefully the weather will stay dry as the forecast suggests. 
    Hoping for another NSD as have no need to go to any shops .

    What a great day weather wise , sun all the way. 

    The week has passed in a blur of work , childminding and parents. Took DGD into big town today on the bus . Then back to DDs garden for some sun , stayed for tea a lovely day. 
    Yesterday youngest DGS and I went to the big park, he is a little chatterbox now , I love having him for the day. Tomorrow is parent day, my dad has had a heart scan which showed signs of a leaking valve , probably tablets. 
    Have a good weekend everyone, I am watching Eurovision.
