I'm still in fleecy dressing gown and on my second strong coffee cafe - it's raining, dull and miserable out there but I must move off this chair.

Has anyone braved the elements? Opening the back door to let the dog out doesn't count! smile

I was still awake at 3am ( too much on my mind!) so did not wake up until after 11am. I’ve nothing planned for today so I’m still in bed pooling around on my iPad! I will get up soon I promise as I want to empty some plants from patio pots while the sun is still shining.

I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, I love my bedroom and as I live in a bungalow, it somehow feels different being in my favourite room than it I was still upstairs!

I got up to go and have my booster jab and then rewarded self with coffee and almond croissant and crossword.
Might play some tennis this afternoon. It has temporarily stopped raining but still a bit windy.

Oh that sounds delicious Teacheranne. I was awake too at 4am and only managed to sleep till 9 and then feel guilty about staying in bed (also dogs wouldn’t like sit).

I ran out to catch our postman, in order to give him a box of chocolates. It's his last shift today as he is retiring. We'll miss him.
Luckily there was a gap between showers so I didn't get wet.
The sun is out now.

Went to do some gardening in the sunshine, came in for a late lunch, chatted with DD in Oz then it just deluged down.

So much for sending you all some ?, one of you sent ?!

Sago

In the lakes on holiday, just got the walking gear on to go for a hike??.
This photo was as we arrived yesterday.

Oh, was that a road, Sago?

The other picture is lovely ?

Calistemon it was the road!
Sun shone from 1 pm so managed a 3 hour hike?.

I can see a rainbow up your way Sago.
Here's one in Cornwall this afternoon. (The colours never come out as strong in photos.)

It's been so blustery here today with heavy rain on and off.
Thank goodness we're up a hill. I've just watched Countryfile and checking our height above sea level.
