Blimey, well done for gardening doings in this heat! And a productive and lovely day, chapel field event sounds delightful

Trust me, I paced myself! 😂 I also deployed both the pint glass and the floor fan today for the ‘recovery’ periods! 😊

ooooh I like the idea of riding around in the champ with the windscreen down and the wind in your hair 😎

Morning @KajiKita, you did well to manage all that gardening in the heat. I am looking forward to planting the summer bedding into pots this afternoon. Didn't spend too much… just bought a bag of compost, some lobelia and nemesia, and will reuse the ornamental grass that is already in the pots. I chose some bright colours that will add a bit of cheer.

It’s been a fairly tough week, partly because of the heat but also because, I determinedly went out for a walk yesterday lunchtime in some local woodland, a stick slipped under my foot, my arms flew up instinctively and I wrenched my shoulder again! 😳😥🙄 It was hurting like a full on hurty thing again last night (add in a HUGE thunder storm right overhead at 1am, significant heat and I really didn’t get much sleep) but does seem to be easing a bit today … A quiet, calm, cool, pain free night would be lovely … Not sure I will get that completely tonight, but at least the cat will be safer and we won’t both be running around in our altogether, trying to whistle and call the stoopid creature in, in the wee small hours … 😂😉

Week has been frustrating, partly because my productivity has been minimal but also because the group QSHE director has given me a busy-work task that has to be completed by the end of the week even though he must have known it would be needed months ago … I am three days in so far and still not quite done. It should be finished tomorrow though 😊 🤞

I’ve had a refund for a return, my ETF has grown by £1.95 in 9 days and my NSDs are going better. Mr KK has transferred the funds to me for the final payment for the Bayeux accommodation as that is about to come off my CC shortly. Oh and my euros have arrived safely as well 😊

Hope the shoulder (and the rest of you) isn't too put out! Lots of great positives there though, well done

Ouch to the shoulder.

how frustrating on the shoulder. I hope it settles down again quickly.

Ouch to the shoulder. Hope it is just a temporary wrench and not a "set back"

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds , @beanielou, @redofromstart and @Watty1 its not much better today I have to say … and there is soooo much gardening that needs doing … <sigh>

Oh well, I must beetle on with what I can! 😉

Counselling session this afternoon after a swift lunch was pretty full on - at one point he asked me what I thought my mother thinks of me (that was a pretty grim question to answer, and took me by surprise by quite how bad it probably is) and later on I said, only half joking,that I thought my psyche needs an exorcism! 😂😂 He wants to talk about my father and how he fits into the whole dynamic next week. Yaaay <waves feebly>

Felt absolutely shattered after the session, physically and emotionally so had some more to eat, probably shouldn’t have but felt I needed the grounding, read some novel and did some watering. I can see things are starting to ‘go up’ in the greenhouse since last Saturday. It’s meant to be cooler and overcast here on Sunday so that will be a good time to get some strings in place to support everything, assuming my shoulder can cope.

Shopped from home à la Foxgloves 😊 We need to start the bribery and corruption of Chloe-bean to get her in The Box of Doom with minimal stress for her and us. I will put the base of the box out tomorrow with some treats in it. I had a rummage at the back of the kitchen cupboard that the active cat food lives in and found two bags of liver treats, so don’t have to buy any more 👏😊

Payment for Bayeux left my card today, so that’s all paid now 😊

Mr KK had his hair cut today and I will get mine done tomorrow morning 😊

Just water bottle to fill, shower to have then I can settle down in front of GW 😊🌱
