Thursday

 Good morning, all.  Another dull start to the day but it is pretty mild so the French window is open to freshen the place up a bit.  I've already picked a bowlful of tomatoes and hope to swap some with Beth for a courgette later on.


There are a few from yesterday too . . .

Yesterday turned out to be quite nice - intermittent sunshine and cloudiness and no rain.  Did I get to the allotment.  Nope - I didn't.

It was a fully old day, emotion-wise.  I went with the flow and feel so much better today.  I did get some things done - I have an empty ironing basket, for a start, and piles of things to take up and put away.  

As I didn't get to the allotment yesterday, I really must today.  I'll take the strimmer and do the edges and them I can do the grass tomorrow.  
Last time I went, something bit me something chronic so I have itchy spots in several places.  I don't usually get bitten so I don't know what happened there.  I need to get some repellant spray and some apres- nibble cream - I'm uncomfortable!

First of all though, I'm going to do some f&v shopping at M&S and then pop into Aldi for a few other bits and bobs.  After that, Chris and I are having our weekly natter (gossip?) over coffee.  Then I can go to the allotment.
A nice, busy day.
You have a good one too . . . xx

  1. Another grey day here - it's getting a bit tedious - hope your day goes well. Just going to check the forecast - must get started on cutting the horrible Yew hedge

    1. It never usually happens. Maybe it was my per4fume - quite a nuisance really. xx

  3. Alexander's been bitten to bits too. You are clearly tasty folk. The insects just spit me out..You've reminded me that the ironing pile is growing again so I think that's on the cards as soon as I get off this laptop.

  5. It's still rather chilly here with rain due later this afternoon so not the best of days. Sorry to hear you've been bitten. I don't have any suggestions because it's not something I've ever been bothered with ... the insects just don't like me!

    Hope you have a good natter with Chris and generally have a great day xx

    1. Up to now they haven't like me either. Not a welcome development at all! :-)
      It was nice here. Warm when the sun came out too. xx

  6. Hope your day turned out lovely! I did a bit of early Fall decorating today so I could share it on the blog. It was fun and relaxing.

  7. We are finally getting rain and I am loving it. Temperatures have dropped and the windows are wide open. No air conditioning!!!

    I hope your natter with your friend was lots of fun.

    God bless.
