Sunday

 Today's garden happy -  the second cucumber, pretty much ready to be picked.  I'll just finish the one I have in the fridge first.  This time there are more following on so no more shop bought cucumbers for a while.  That makes me happy.


Good morning.  

Yesterday was a much better day.  For a start, it was a bit cooler, especially in the morning, and also everything worked out much more to plan

The parks walk was lovely - warm but in no way uncomfortably hot.  There were only three of us there as P and M couldn't come - poor M has Covid.  The walk cleared my muggy head and sorted out the aches and I felt 110% afterwards.

Then I just chilled, looked up a few ideas for holidays and read the new SM magazine in between falling asleep on and off all afternoon.  So lazy!  I slept like a log overnight too.

Today I plan to go for a swim soon; the gym opens at eight so I'll be there then.  After that, it's another gentle day.  The weather is due to be hot, hot, hot so I won't be doing much bouncing about and I hope the fans I ordered arrive tomorrow.
I've already done the watering and the weeding (didn't do the latter yesterday after all) so all I will need to add to that is, probably, an evening watering and a feed (for the plants, I mean).
It's on days like today that I am very thankful that I've decided not to keep the allotment, or I'd have to drive there morning and evening and trudge back and forth with watering cans multiple times.  The very thought makes me feel tired.

Have a lovely Sunday and stay as cool as you can.  xx

  1. Glad to hear that you are feeling better. A cooling swim on a lovely day like this is a perfect way to start the day.

    I'll be giving all the pots an extra drink tonight as well and the pot with the cosmos may well need a midday drink as well. Feeding day was yesterday for mine though.

    Enjoy the rest of your day whatever you choose to do. I'll be watching Wimbledon, it's the men's final today. xx

    1. Thanks, Eileen. The swim was absolutely lovely and it's still pretty cool inside so I'm enjoying that very much indeed.
      I should have fed yesterday but I didn't so today will have to do instead. xx

    1. Thanks, Jackie, I do feel back to normal again now.
      I've just cut the cucumber a minute ago (Monday morning). Now I'm looking forward to some in my lunchtime salad. :-)

    1. It does. I cut into it to make up my lunchtime couscous this morning (Monday) and it was so sweet and refreshing . . . xx
