I plan to start my refurbishment of a bird table which someone threw out and which needs some tlc I plan to paint it blue. Also swimming later, but a bit of tiidying up first. The joys of retirement!

At last, I have just injected myself with my new medication. I have dithered for about an hour. grin

Ouch! Much more painful than the last ones. It has been postponed for months, as I wasn't well enough.

DH is on anaphylaxis alert, with strict instructions what to do, if anything untoward happens!

Oh, fingers crossed, Marydoll.

I've had a rough few days and I'm looking forward to a trip to the plant nursery plus afternoon tea .

Claregreybear Sat 15-Jun-24 11:10:27

Today is the last day of our trip to Spain. We are doing some washing and packing and this afternoon some reading in the pool. An evening meal in the villa tonight and an early start tomorrow. I'm sad it's gone so quickly but I'm very excited to see our little dog tomorrow when we pick him up.

Laundry washed and hung up on the gnu (overhead airer), watercolour sky painted (not very successfully), coffee and biscuits consumed. Now it's a toss up between hedging and ironing before lunch. I think hedging will win. Midgy weather will mean the midge jacket is in service as well as the hedge trimmer.

Proof reading.
Lunch
Off to DDs for haircut and Father’s Day tea as her DH is working tomorrow .

Mollygo Sat 15-Jun-24 11:49:08

Trying out the pink stuff to see if it’s as good as the orange stuff we bought in France.
Walked the dog early, because it’s threatening thunderstorms up here. This afternoon, we are going to watch DGD play water polo.

When you go and do a short length of hedging and end up with a wheelbarrow of dead wood #firewood

Purplepixie Sat 15-Jun-24 12:39:26

I’ve changed all the bedding (2 beds), made some ginger cake and walnut shortbread and now having a sausage sandwich for lunch. This afternoon I am going to try and sort out some photos for my youngest son. He wants a photo album put together. Not online but the old fashioned method. I think this is going to take days and maybe weeks.!

Nothing - watching Trooping the Colour !

NotAGran55 Sat 15-Jun-24 19:14:58

Batch cooking and a few errands this morning.
Watching tennis from Nottingham now, Katie 🇬🇧 & Emma 🇬🇧 in the semi-final .

Saturn Sat 15-Jun-24 21:34:35

I went to hospital to bring my DH home, he had triple heart bypass surgery 8 days ago 😊

CanadianGran Sat 15-Jun-24 21:57:11

Saturn, I hope he is doing well! My DH had the same 8 years ago, and is still doing well. Recovery did take a long time for him; his sternum was sore for ages. Slow and steady wins the race.

I’ll be going to meet a few friends in church today then I’ll plan the week ahead and write it in my diary in case I forget, my Calendar on my iPad is wonderful at reminding me of my appointments

LucyAnna2 Sun 16-Jun-24 07:40:53

Best wishes for you and your DH, Saturn

Off to watch a DGS in a football match this morning - hope the weather keeps fine! Then a pub lunch I think.

Church.
A member has died.
It will be sad.

Cabbie21 Sun 16-Jun-24 08:08:24

Church this morning as usual. Daughter and grandson popping in this afternoon. He has just finished his GCSEs and they are off to Lisbon for a short break, just the two of them.
Evensong tonight with extended choir, so rehearsal beforehand.
I had to turn down an invitation from my son.

Mizuna Sun 16-Jun-24 09:27:31

To my son's to watch the footie. 14-year-old grandson not interested so he'll be drawing somewhere in the background but my son and I will jump up and down when England score. 😁

henetha Sun 16-Jun-24 11:00:12

Both sons are visiting me today. And the water's turned off due to a burst main . This will be fun. grin

Mollygo Sun 16-Jun-24 14:31:50

Daughter and grandchildren visiting today, so early walk with our dog. Sunny weather means an opportunity to wash the duvet and have it dry before bedtime. Great excitement when a favourite author was offering 12 ebooks for 99p each. Disappointment was finding I already have them, but at least it’s reminded me to reread them.

TerriBull Sun 16-Jun-24 14:59:21

Children and grandchildren here for father's day. We're having roast beef later with all the accompaniments, a father's day cake made by moi with berries and ice cream. Did manage to snatch some time with the Sunday papers earlier over a late breakfast.

RosesandLilac Sun 16-Jun-24 15:58:58

So far I have walked the dog early, made a Victoria sponge and a lemon cheesecake, cooked a roast dinner and knitted 2” of the first sock of a pair. I have deadheaded the roses and after I finish my cold drink I will take the dog out again.
I want to give myself a manicure and pedicure later, both of which are badly needed!

HowVeryDareYou2 Sun 16-Jun-24 16:33:48

Son1, hs 2 girls and his GF came round with Faher's day gifts and card for my husband. We all went out for a couple of drinks then to a different place for a late lunch. They've jus t left.

LucyAnna2 Mon 17-Jun-24 07:29:50

Hoping for the forecast better weather today, as I plan to try and sort out the garden today - everything is very overgrown! Meeting a friend for tea and cake this afternoon.

RosesandLilac Mon 17-Jun-24 07:31:29

Not a lot planned for today, probably a bit of gardening after walking the dog then I hope to sit in the sun with a book and enjoy the sunshine 😎
