Morning, everyone.  Back now and ready to write!
Why do I keep thinking it is Friday.  I'm wishing my life away!  :-)

A few photos first because they brighten up the post!

Hundreds of tomatoes (not an exaggeration) but not a hint of pink yet.  Come on, toms, it's time to ripen.

However . . . 

. . . plenty of cucumbers coming along.  These are the mini ones but there's bigger ones also doing nicely . . . 

. . . and more blueberries to pick when I have breakfast.  Yum!

And these have come up from last year - I do love snapdragons.

Yesterday was easier than I expected and as expensive as I anticipated.

I said personal training was good yesterday and it was.

After breakfast, I drove over to Sainsburys, did a horrendously expensive shop and then filled up with petrol.  I am chuffed that I didn't need to fill up last month although I was a bit edgy at how low the needle was through the last week.  However, it held out and now the car is comfortably full again.

My payment for the new block of personal training went to Lindsey yesterday too as well several monthly payments as expected.

Oh, well, that's life.

To slightly balance that, I will be getting a little bit from Premium Bonds in a few days and my quarterly gas statement showed me in credit which is nice.  My strategy, which works for me, is to let the credit build up over the summer months and through winter until it goes into debit and then I pay the balance until it is in credit again.  However one does it, it is swings and roundabouts really, but this way is how I like to do it.

The afternoon visit to school didn't happen (it's been rescheduled) and the Governors' meeting was really good.  Lots of discussion and everyone contributes, one way and another.

I was shattered afterwards, came home, ate easy rubbish and woke this morning with a rubbish induced headache which serves me right!  :-)

I've had my chat with Chris and am about to start some bread for Beth which I will take over when it's done.  There's another governors' raining later this afternoon, one that I am very much looking forward to, all about supporting your head teacher.  I am expecting it to be really useful.

So that's today - a nice day, I think.  And now I need to get the bread started, pick some blueberries and make breakfast - it's such a hard life!!  😂

Have a lovely day, all.  Enjoy the sunshine.  xx
