Good morning everyone from the sunny South (???) where blazing summer days continue. Slept through the dog walk this morning - DH managed to sneak out whilst it was relatively cool and take the terrors for a walk. They always get home so excited - today I found that this is for breakfast, not for me!
Wonderfully positive post, Marydoll. Looks as if all your weeks of worry and care and following the rules have paid off and how wonderful that you should be chosen to ‘bubble’ with your DiL........made me smile.
Urms hope that the dentist works out well and tender oxtail may be easily consumed as planned and so pleased that Blue Sapphire is giving you better news now. Onwards and upwards - however slowly.
DH will be off to the hairdressers later and we are then going to wash the car before the sun swallows up the last bit of shade on our parking area. Normally like to use the car wash but if it means a queue and then, as is normal here, you aren’t allowed to sit inside the car whilst it’s cleaned...so that means standing around in the heat, we’ll do it so much more easily at home. The gulls, little fledglings, swallows and swifts have obviously been using it for target practice recently, it’s a disgrace, so efforts must be made.
Then out for the day - no shops, thankfully, just beautiful countryside. But first need to brush that pool and sweep up the last of the jasmine blossom which dries and gets into everything here and send a mail to an elderly French friend about Sunday. She/they invited us for Sunday lunch. We’re not yet doing indoor eating in other people’s houses, she is now having dialysis, has very bad Arthritis and his heart problems have increased since we saw them last. We said no to Sunday lunch but that we’d love to come and sit in the garden for tea, cake, coffee, an aperitif, just to chat and catch up later in the day. Thinking very hard about her current ability to do the whole French lunch thing, as well as social distancing. This morning received a message to say they are expecting us as 12.30 for the whole works! Now I have to write and say no, again!!! Wish people would listen. However wonderfully hospitable they feel, however keen they are to meet up, sometimes it’s a good idea to listen to what others want and are willing to do, as well.
Stupid to make a fuss, but it should be so easy!
Now eating a late breakfast and sterilizing a mask in preparation for the haircut later.
Seems as if the UK needs some blue skies very soon again . That’s enough water, I should think. Garden days should be back this weekend for some parts - or is that just a rumour? Whatever you’re doing, or not doing, keep safe and find some fun in your day, good people. Hugs x
. Hope everyone has a good day. Chin up.
