Summertime 2026

My autocorrect obviously has delusions of grandeur 🤣

I did manage to sort out the curtain wire in my bedroom before bed, and this morning have watered the fruit trees (bucket of water each) when I let Stinky out. I’m still very tired, but Stinky needs a decent walk, and the muntjac needs processing into pet food, along with watering and clearing ready for electricians. I also need to chase the handyman I called last week to make sure my message got to him.

I did not want to go sell the silver but I couldn't slink back on here with my tail between my legs so did it 💪

Wednesday2000

I feel very tired from the weekend so I have cancelled my two meet-ups today and also the meet-up for Wednesday. I was walking around a warehouse yesterday looking for discounted books and it was very hot and oppressive in there as well as dragging a basket of heavy books around. It was a good deal though as it was supposed to be £125 and with the discount it was less than £40!

I had some sad news that someone I "knew" online has died suddenly and I wasn't really in the mood to be around people.

We went to view a flat today, but it had a few issues so we have ruled it out. We are probably going to wait until my dog passes away to move house as it will mean we can be much more flexible. I have quite a lot of events coming up in the next two months so it probably wasn't the right time to move house anyway.

I am going to try and keep my house in this condition for when we are ready to move. I am going to book a cleaning of the house each month to make sure it stays pristine as weekly was too much as we aren't that dirty or messy.😁

I am going to book a pedicure this week ready for the mini cruise. I am missing my book group this month but I will make a start on the August book starting tomorrow. I need to work out what to pack in my suitcase too.

Have dealt with pet food, cooked a BNS (so can do lick mats and kongs this evening) and cleared more of calendula out of the onion beds so I can start harvesting them. Garden waste bins are both out for collection, although they've composted down a fair amount in the heat, so I could fit more in if I had the energy!

Job centre appointment has come through, so need to call in the morning to reschedule (I have both electricians and handyman here at the time they've given me), plus find out where it is/how to get there/where to park. And sign up for job websites and generate a CV from my LI profile.

Great deal on the books @Wednesday2000. I'm sorry for your loss X

Blimey you've got a lot on your plate @greenbee

past their BBD oatcakes decluttered into the garden beside the birds' waterbowl. In fact I got out another planter saucer so there are now 2 baths out there as sometimes there seemed to be a queue - which is delightful to watch.

Got charged twice by co-op and instead of putting it on the list of things to do, just went back out to the shop. Most unlike me 😁

I'm seriously considering painting my garden wall at night with a head torch. I have no dry days forecast under 25 degrees for the next 2 weeks.

Today I need to clear the office for the electricians. And as much of the utility room as I can. This means clearing space for the stuff I’m moving out of them. The 5 shelves from the office can go in the workshop. So can one desk if I find someone to help me move it. The other desk and treadmill may have to clutter up the hall.

I have finished putting up curtain wire, and completed a questionnaire for my financial advisor. Annoyingly it didn't have an 'I don't know, that's why I'm asking you' option on any of the question!

I've also watered some trees with washing up water and drips from the outside tap, and broken up more old loft board in the builders' rubbish pile to go in the bin. Dog has had a very short walk so will need attention later. But first of all I want to make progress on the office and utility room.
