Morning, all.  It's not so sunny this morning and, while it's not really hot yet, it doesn't feel nearly as fresh as yesterday at this time.  I guess maybe the humidity is starting to build a bit.  Shame.

Yesterday morning was pretty busy.  I went into school to enjoy the concert followed by the pupil voice chats and then, not being 'needed' again until around eleven, I drove out to Writtle and booked my car in for its service and MOT.

I've always taken my car into town to where I bought it, a Peugeot dealership, but last autumn they closed that branch and the nearest one now is Stratford, I think.  Too far to take the car anyway.  Chris recommended a garage in Writtle that she and Steve use so it's now all booed in and that's something off my mind.  Best of all, they do a pick up/drop off service, like my previous garage did.

When I got back, it was time to complete my visit with a walk around the school which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Now I just have to find out if I am expected to do a report for the governing body or not.

Come the early evening, Julia picked me up and off we went to the Harvester where we had the best time.  We laughed so much!
Now I am two down, three to go!

Today, being Wednesday, means I am off put to my early personal training and then I will be going to Longacres first to get some birthday gifts followed by a quick shop for salad ingredients - I'm getting through so much salad stuff right now.  I'll probably go to M&S because I have a £10 card to use and M&S veg is very good..

Now, opinions, please.  Would you say this is starting to colour.  It's a honeycomb tomato so orange rather than red and it is very different to those around it - in colour, I mean.
I think it possibly is and, if so, yee hah!!!

When I watered this morning, I picked two mini cucumbers and one big one.  I will take the big one to Lindsey, I think.
One of the sheer delights of growing a bit of produce is being able to share it with others.  It's great!

The other thing I really must do is book a sight test.  It's not that long since the last one but my vision has changed again which is a nuisance, seeing as it is less than a year since I had the right eye lens replaced.  I am pretty sure it is the left eye this time which means that my precious glasses aren't going to me that much use so instead of having the lens changed, I think I will be going for new frames as well this time.  As I always say, ouch, but that's what my short term savings are for, not just for holidays!
I ought to book a hearing check too.  It's the same place so I could do it in one visit.

Right, time to stop.  Have a lovely day, everyone, and say cool, hydrated and safe.  xx
