Saturday

Good morning, everyone.
Yesterday's weather was a right mix of cool and humid, rain and dry.  No sun though.  We've had more rain overnight so everything is nice and damp and, although I will check the pots under the tree, there's probably no need to water either at home or allotment.  It's raining steadily now and I guess there will be a blight warning in my mailbox as the conditions are right.


Definitely a dull and wet old start to the day!!


After swimming yesterday, I settled to tidying up ready for both A and the cleaners.
A and I had a pleasant time - well, I did and I expect she did too.  After she had gone, I popped to Morrisons to get the few things I need for the coming week and then I just chilled, catching up with things like Homes Under the Hammer and Escape to the Country.  Escapist stiff in a fairly mundane way!

Today there isn't anything in the diary so I need to make work for myself!  I think I need to go through my wardrobe to see if anything needs sorting out and also I do need to bag up the pile of clothes already sorted ready for either the recycling point or charity shops (are they accepting stuff yet, I wonder?).  I got some more bin bags in readiness.
I'm loathe to change the sheets as there's absolutely no chance of them going on the line at the moment and the forecast is not great either.
Maybe I will research some recipes and I do have the new Slimming World magazine to go through.
I don't think there's even anything to pick in the garden.  The tomatoes have slowed down now the sun isn't showing, there might be a very few runners and there are baby cucumbers but none to cut yet.

Not a very exciting day today but it should be pleasant and it will be safe.  I hope yours is too.

    1. It's blissful and saves me a trudge to the allotment.

  3. Some charity shops are accepting donations but you have to phone them to arrange the day and time, it's no longer possible to just drop in.

    1. Thanks, Eileen. I think it might be he recycling point. I wish there was more understanding of how hard it is for people with hearing disabilities to use the phone - it frustrates me!
      (not having a go at you at all, it's those places that say 'phone us' and don't give an option)

    2. Try British Heart Foundation. Check their website to see if they collect from your area and you can book a collection online. The process does involve phone calls on day of collection but there may be another option - I haven't used this yet so don't know.

  4. The garden will be glad of the rain. I may just need to water mine (finally) today as it is still hot and sunny here.
    The charity shops here are now accepting donations as usual. X

    1. Maybe they are here - I guess I need to drive past the one I usually frequent and see.
