Morning, lovely people.  How are you all today?  
Sorry about yesterday.  There's heavy stuff going on in the background and I just felt a bit overwhelmed, that's all.  Thank you for understanding and for your kind messages.

The weather certain has changed, hasn't it?  We had rain, we had wind and we had sunshine.  It felt humid but also a bit chilly at times.  No complaints, it is what it is, but isn't it typical just as the children break up for their summer holiday, eh?

Not exactly a challenge - spot the one ripe chilli pepper!  I have been using a few green ones and wow - very chilli!

I went over to Lindsey's for circuits - inside as it kept raining - and enjoyed it, as usual.   There's only one circuits class left now before Lindsey goes away and all classes will resume again in September.

I made some bread - yeasted bread this time but baked like sourdough - and will take it to Lindsey this morning.  It came out really well for once.

I am so looking forward to Saturday - meeting Annabeth, seeing the Pavilion and having lunch and a nice wander around.  It will be so good and fingers are crossed for the weather.  

I've caught up with Sewing Bee.  What a good start and I could see the elimination coming a mile off, could you? As for that garment of the week, wow.  
(no spoilers in case anyone hasn't seen it yet).

And, better late than never, I got round to booking my car's MOT and service.  Another expense but that's what the monthly savings are for.  I don't do separate sinking funds or whatever they are called, but the money is there when needed.  I'm rather hoping I can manage it from income but. if not, it's OK.  I am so fortunate.

Tomorrow is the last day of the school year for 'my' school.   Bless them, I hope everyone had a really good rest.

I will be going to Groove first thing and then it's housework day because I didn't do any today.  Has to be done, doesn't it?
Hoping you had a lovely day yesterday.  All the best, stay safe and stay dry.  xx

    1. Oh, of course. In a way, that seems much more sensible to make the most of the better weather.

    1. It's perfect. Like the first tomato and the first - well, anything in the garden really. Gardens are packed to the brim with wonder. :-) xx

  5. I'm sorry that there are some tough things in your life at the moment and understand the need for you to step back when needed. I hope things improve in that situation.
    Enjoy Saturday with Annabeth.
