 if I can sit in the sun for a bit with my magazine, along with some pottering about.
Fasting today. Had 92 cals so far. Quorn peppered steaks and salad for tea so nice and low. Gives me an allowance for something this afternoon, mind you Im just thirsty rather than hungry.
Just sat not doing much may start a book..walking tonight about 8 pm…so very hot..
Evening everyone how’s your day been with this heat we’re having. Just sitting in the garden as it’s cooler than indoors enjoying a nice chilled glass of pinot grigo. Had a good time visiting daughter and son in law not forgetting Poppy who was pleased to see us.
Jean glad the visit with your friends went off alright and Charlie was a good boy.
Hedgehogs hope mum’s coping alright with the heat my mum used to struggle with it.
Dave enjoy fishing tomorrow if you go.
Have a good evening everyone else and stay safe.
Jean- glad that you had a good time with you visitors! And that Charlie was good! Lots of food to eat though, with the hamper too?
Endellion- hope your shopping trip & picnic went well, our Boots is only small so that’s why the one way system didn’t really work!
Nana- lovely to sit out with wine to cool off, good that you’ve had a nice day…Mum’s fine with the heat, she loves sitting in the sun!
Kay- that’s good that Tara’s tummy isn’t getting any bigger, fingers crossed for a phantom pregnancy. Pleased she’s settling in too…keep strong on your FD!
Dave- will you go fishing if it’s that hot tomorrow?
Minols- how’s the poor old dog?
Good morning everyone.Up early for fishing,made my flask next put suncream on then ready to go. Going to be hot so will try and get some shade.
We are fasting today…..having a lazy day hopefully..tiny bit of washing and I may reproof my two walking coats as a good drying day…a book read!!
No food from the hamper eaten..we may go to the beach tomorrow for a picnic depends how busy and heat!!..we will take some hamper food….
Pleased you have all the holidays sorted and getting the sitter sorted too…very welcome breaks this year..
James Martin did a good tarte tartin recipe on his programme used shop puff pastry maybe worth a look, I was tempted to try but haven’t as yet…calories!
Enjoy your fishing day…hope they are biting….
Another scorcher up here – no good really for me! but I do like being out in the shade. The old boy is recovering very well – considering what he put us through! He’s back to his old self pretty much. Which means his back iend still looks like it’s being controlled by a dog in another field that really doesn’t get how a remote control works…but at least has figured out the power button now! And he’s eating and taking an interst, and back to howling with excitement when I cook, or when it’s time to go out.
Jean – your afternoon sounds lovely! So glad it went so well for you.
Endellion – used to do waitressign functions on a similar basis ‘in my youth’…got some interesting work!
Thought I was a bit ahead having the video ready to upload…myb just remembered that actually doesn’t mean I’m prepared for live church on zoom yet…must do that, and write a funeral, and prepare for our first area meeting tonight…oh well, I guess I shouldn’t have thought I could relax!
PS the boy finally won an award at the BB parents; night lsast night! Great night on ZOom…but absolutely chuffed that his efforts this year have paid off. He’s such a rapscallion wee urchin that he drifts through everything…then gets upset at the end of the year when no awards come his way! Last year’s talking to about hearing what it took other boys doing to get awards, and then starting to think likewise has seen quite a change in him this year…still essentially a scraggly, gangling string of nonsense…but he’s really tried to step up to the plate and lead his wee bunch of boys this year.
So pleased the old boy is doing well wriggling through his day and getting excited about food, he must be feeling better..
Just getting things together for a beach picnic tomorrow ( a bit hard when fasting), we are going early so not too hot or it may be a blowing a gale and cold on the east coast 😂 Then it will be eaten in the car….
Oh I am getting hungry now…it’s a bit to go yet….
Jean – hope you had a wonderful time with your friends! Sounds like you did with them staying so long.
Kay – glad to hear Tara is setting in alright so far. It’s very humid over here too, which I struggle with. Dry heat I can do!
HH – how exciting to have your holidays sorted! You must be looking forward to it! How long do you have to wait?
Dave – hope you enjoy fishing today. Slap on plenty of sunscreen!
Minols – great to hear your dog is doing better! Slow and steady, it’s still all in the right direction. And congratulations to your boy for his award, that’s amazing.
The fish were biting and fortunately the insects weren’t.Heidi will be 14 in six days. Will buy her a chicken for her birthday. I use ultrasun for the sun, it’s the best I have ever used, the England cricketers use it so it must be good. Jean I wouldn’t go to the beach if it’s anything like down south, the beach was absolutely packed out, not even 2 inch distancing never mind 2 metres apart, much safer in a supermarket.
Evening everyone, what another hot day it’s been at least it made my FD easier as I wasn’t hungry and have had lots of water to drink. Would love a glass of chilled pinot grigo though but will resist.
Minols well done to the boy and glad your dog is keeping okay.
Jean hope you’re able to find a spot that’s not too crowded for your picnic.
Hedgehogs hope son wasn’t to late home.
Dave a good day fishing for you.
Dave- thought it would’ve been too hot for the fish, glad you had a good day!
Nana- well done with your FD, & resisting the wine!
Another busy day, they seem to be flying by right now! A good walk with Xena early, then spoilt my boys with a cooked breakfast, & did haircuts for all 3- maybe the last, hopefully they’ll go back to the professionals again! Did sit outside for half an hour before we had our asda order (all good this time!) Made a tarte tatin- my recipe is great for the pastry, but the apples don’t caramelise properly, so tried a new one. Thought it was going to be a disaster as I’m not good with caramel, but turned out ecxellent- not that I’ve tried it! Walked Xena after dinner, packed lunches done for tomorrow & I’ve finally sat down. Abit weary! Hopefully less to do tomorrow!
Very humid, not going to get much sleep again although I was up at 5-30am😵😫😱.So should be tired.Might even go before Denise 😱😱. Heidi’s got a cold towel on her back, one of my fishing towels soaked in cold water.
Having a low day today before a takeaway and movie tonight. But I will have a little breakfast…we have some lovely strawberries so I’ll have those with skyr.
Got lots done at the last gasp yesterday so should be able to lift my head and look a bit at what’s coming down the track.
Hope everyone’s week finishes well.
Well done, Minols! Glad you got everything done!
Dave- hope you slept better!
Dave – good to hear you were safe in the sun and had a successful day fishing! It was a very sticky night… I bought a cheap Argos fan during the heatwave last summer and it’s been a lifesaver. On the really hot nights I then branch out to a wet sheet on me as well. Extreme but works!
Nana – well done for staying strong… I had a minuscule glass of rose on my FD yesterday, couldn’t resist in the sun!
HH – ooh congrats on the tarte tatin! Let us know how it tastes! Hopefully you can have more of a restful day today and a good fast.
I’m feeling surprisingly strong and powerful today – I really sprang through the workout this morning and it was a tough one too. Perhaps it’s because I’ve overeaten a little this week, so I’ve plenty of energy in store. I’m thinking of some online shopping today, the ab workout at midday and some writing. I hope everyone has a lovely day!
HH I was in bed before 11-30 and just about before Denise.Took a while to get to sleep but managed to get some sleep. Heidi was panting half the night, much be horrible with all
