Tuesday

 Good morning, everyone.  It's a fine, pleasant morning with bits of sunshine and a gentle breeze; I'd be happy if it stayed like that all day.  Earlier this morning, it felt cold, cold enough to stop me dropping off again, so I turned on the electric blanket and warmed up, going back to sleep and not waking until nearly seven which is as good as  lie in for me.  Very welcome indeed.
I've decided that next bedding change I will swap over my quilts so I'm using the thicker one again.  It's silly to wake up cold when I don't need to.  And if that doesn't work, out will come one of the fleeces/crocheted blankets.  That will sort it out.

And then we will have a heatwave, of course!!

Yesterday morning was so lovely.  Beth emerged just as I was making my own breakfast so I made some for her too and then we just sat and talked and talked and talked.  

She told me all about her plans for four days in London over half term with some friends and I told her about my holiday plans for this year and next.  We both agreed that a holiday at Center Parcs, for the three of us, was just what the doctor ordered at some point next year so I must start thinking about dates for that.  We discussed Chr*stm*s and what we could give each other and all that sort of stuff, set the date for Christmas Tree Day this year, whether I would do turkey or something else (depends on who is here on The Day) and all that sort of stuff . . . and it was fun.

After she had gone home, I did some tidying and then - guess what - just pottered.  I got some exercise done, thought about a few meals ongoing, read, knitted and watched telly.

A very pleasant Bank Holiday.

Today I'm off into town first thing.  I have a few bits and pieces to get and I fancy a bit of a look around.  That will be fun, I think.
Then it's home for breakfast before setting out again in the opposite direction to get a few groceries, etc.  I don't have a very big list but there are a few things I need and I might get a few shelf stable items for winter, in case - as quite a number of people are doing at the moment.  After all, they won't go to waste, will they?

It will be nice to get out and about a bit after a couple of pretty quiet weeks.

Have a safe and happy day, everyone.  xx
