    Roast chicken was absolutely delicious and we're having noodles with the leftovers tonight. We've just been for a 1.5 hour walk which was lovely and I'm just having a cup of coffee before emptying the dishwasher. Mum bought us seafood rolls for lunch so that will be nice then some more knitting this afternoon I suspect.

    I'm having a very relaxing holiday. I've been applying for new jobs, I find a few things get to me where I am, the workload is very high and generally the communication from managers can be quite negative. I'm not going to rush but I am looking around.

    Awake early today. Annoyingly my banking app has stopped working, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now need to verify my identity again to log in. Yoghurt and granola for breakfast. My mum's cleaners are coming at 8.30 then we may go out for a walk. Later we're going out on the water, probably in my mum's new little motorboat as the wind is forecast to be high.

    Lovely afternoon yesterday. We went to a nearby small town and hit the charity shops. I got a raincoat which I needed, a couple of things to keep at my mum's and a really nice dress, all for very cheap prices. After that we went for a cuppa and were going to go for a walk on the beach but it started raining. A lovely afternoon.

    I'm feeling a bit better about work. The break is doing me a world of good. I can't say I'm looking forward to going back but I do feel like I can manage it. Four more days of holiday.

    Lovely day out with my mum today dodging the rain. We had dinner out at the village pub and I had smoked prawns followed by pizza. Home tomorrow. I'm feeling very relaxed but it will be nice to get home. I've nearly finished the second sock then I can give them to my friend. Hopefully a not too spendy weekend although I need to do a small food shop. Back to work on Monday.

    IIt's Fexofenadine Hydrochloride. I've been using it for a few days now and it's not much better than the cheap as chips one I usually use.

    Thought it might be, i get it on prescription, i also get 180mg rather than 120mg so helps alot more. May be worth considering, depending if you pay for your prescriptions or not. I have a prepayment anyway so makes it worth while for me and its definitely helped the stronger dose.

    I have prepayment. I bought 180mg pharmacy only and it doesn't seem any better than Ceterazine.

    Woke up, feel a bit grotty but that's fading with a coffee. Realised the delivery isn't coming today so I might go to the Town and Country Fair with a friend or maybe just go and get a coffee. My fridge also desperately needs cleaning which is today's big task. Maybe vacuum as well. I've finished knitting the socks I was making and might start something else. I need to do a food shop as well.

    Right. One more coffee and a shower or maybe fridge before shower to get it done.

    Lots achieved this morning. Cleaned the fridge, did a food shop, vacuumed the cobwebs and in the middle of making a vegan cottage pie. I want to do some knitting but waiting for wool to be delivered to start my next project (the recipient requested a certain colour I didn't have so I couldn't "shop from stash"). Just watching rubbishy TV while the vegan meat cools down but I might do some reading in a minute.

    Fairly quiet day yesterday, back to work today after a week off. I'm at a quiet desk so it should hopefully be quite chilled. I've already looked at my emails so no nasty surprises coming. I'll leave my wallet at home today so hopefully a no spend day. Should be a quiet week. Hopefully my wool gets delivered soon so I can start my next project. Payday.next week.
