Monday

Good morning, everyone.  It was another warm day yesterday; not as hot or as humid as expected though and there was a breeze which helped.  I've had another good night's sleep, thank goodness.  Two out of three isn't bad!

Beth and Alex made it over for lunch (salad!!!) and it was a lovely afternoon.  Alex has finally heard about accommodation at Uni for next year and we're all most relieved.  Usually they get it all sorted in May but, of course, this year isn't usual.  The A level results are out next week so they would have to have sorted the current students out before then but it was getting worryingly late.  So great relief all round!
He has another month and a week here and leaves for Norwich on the 18th Sept.

Apart from that, the day passed gently as these weekends at Dad's always do.

Today, I leave just after nine and, once home, there will be a few chores waiting - a dishwasher to unload, washing to get in and a lunch to make because I have an old friend coming round.  When I say 'old' I mean that I've known her for a long time; she was my TA for two years when I took year 4 and was a fantastic TA.  She left for another post and we kept in touch via Facebook but since I retired we've not met up so there's a lot to catch up on.

The rest of the day will be spent in getting sorted out, watering down the allotment, etc.  It will be my turn to water for several days because Beth has covered over the weekends I am away, both at the allotment and in my garden too.

That's about it, really.  Today is supposed to remain hot although maybe not quite as hot as the weekend.  Take care, stay hydrated and be safe.  xx

  2. Enjoy your catch up with your friend. Do you live close enough to each other to be able to meet up regularly?

    We have the pleasure of rain and thunderstorms today, so hope that holds off for you. xx

  3. We had a brilliant, lazy weekend, and it was just about cool enough to visit a car boot sale for the first time this year. I got myself a couple of lovely things and because we got up early to take advantage of the cooler morning air the day seemed to stretch on and on.

    Enjoy your catch up with your friend, there will be lots to talk about.

    1. That sounds really lovely. Great about the car boot sale too - we don't seem to get any around here which is a shame.

  4. Good advice. I am drinking a class of cold water right now. It sounds like things are going well with you. Old friends are the best aren't they? I just had a long chat on the phone with a friend I met in first grade.
