Some of the rhubarb leaves are dying. Perhaps it is the hot weather. I will have them out soon as, reading about it, if the stems rot, it affects the roots. Those stems will be pretty tough so compost rather than food.
I really enjoyed PT yesterday. I didn't say but on Monday at circuits I turned a bit dizzy so yesterday I scrambled a couple of eggs to have before PT. They were hard to eat as I don't usually have anything but fruit first thing but I had more energy and felt great so maybe I need to adopt that habit when having a before-breakfast class.
I did a bit of gardening while it was still cool-ish. The sage now looks pathetic but healthy! I also chopped the oregano right back (should have done that ages ago) so I can now see my chives again. The recycling bin smelled very aromatic by the time I had finished!
Then I went out a-shopping.
First of all I went to Longacres because the shop has some lovely gift ideas and I have four birthdays this month - well, friends who have birthdays, I mean. It was the right place to go and I now have three gifts all nicely wrapped and ready for distribution. THe other birthday is a bit later in the month.
Next it was Hobbycraft because I needed some yarn - not much but I knew they would have it and they did.
Finally it was M&S at the Clock Tower Precinct. I had a £10 card on my phone to use so I did. Food shopping, mostly fresh stuff; M&S fresh food is great quality and lasts longer.

Back home again and after a bit of housework, I went online and now I have a sight check and a hearing check scheduled for next week. May as well get them done back to back and make just one journey into town. What with birthdays, car service, my RHS subscription, new glasses, possibly new hearing aids, etc, it's a bit of an ouchy month and I will definitely be pulling some money out of savings.
As I always say, that's what those particular savings are for.
And I updated my finance spread sheet!
It was too hot to do much else so I sat, chilled, drank copious amounts of cold water and tried not to go to sleep until bedtime. :-)
Today, being Thursday, starts with coffee (or cold drink) and chat with Chris. A bit later on, I am off over to Val's for lunch, taking her pressie with me. And that's about it - a nice, easy, restful day. Lovely!
How are you managing this latest spell of hot weather? Take care and stay well, whatever you are doing. See you tomorrow xx
Haircut this morning and then home to keep out of the heat. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI am going for a massage later. Hopefully I will still be refreshed in the hot weather! It is a deep tissue massage rather than relaxation. Rachel
