Good morning Mick and all GN's on another bright and sunny morning in North Yorkshire.
I plan to repeat yesterdays start to the day, by putting the washing on and then getting outside , while it is cool enough to work in the garden. It took me quite a lot of effort, only able to do one or two clumps at a time, but am pleased with the results. I managed to dig big annoying clumps of grass up and then just chucked them upside down , so that the sun does the work for me and dries the soil and the roots. Today can shake the soil off the ones I have done and get rid of the weeds themselves and going to try to do as many as possible that are left, while it is easier to get whole clumps up. It doesnt seem that long ago that I would have done the whole border at one go! Well I wouldnt have let it get so bad anyway. Never mind some progress is made, and they talk of showers tomorrow, so need to make the most of it.
My planned day worked well as I stayed outside until the sun got too hot and then inside, where I had windows open and curtains mostly closed to keep the place cool. Felt rather weary after the garden efforts, but managed to do some jobs and in between watched some of the snooker. In the afternoon finding other things to stick in the recycling box, and then changed into my linen trousers getting ready for my trip to the gamers evening. Went to the fridge for something and dont know why but something must have caught it , but a bottle of white wine, which I had put in there to cool down, fell with an almighty crash, spreading broken glass and wine all over me and the floor. Trousers were soaked, so it took me some time to clear the floor, mop up and clear up the glass. I then went for a shower and change of clothes, so that was not planned for the day!
I went on the buggy to the meeting , as it was lovely and cool in the open air, and it was a pleasant evening, though rather mind boggling as it was a new game that this person had invented, so new to everyone. Of course , the expert players have a basic understanding of the way the majority of games are played so picked up the ideas quickly, but I was definitely struggling to understand much of it. However they have promised that next week one of the games played will be something I have tried before, so hopefully I will not be such a dunce at that this time.
It was still warm but pleasant when I came away so took the opportunity to go to Tesco on the way home. Not a time I usually go there , and there were lots of cages etc to manoevre round as they were restocking, but a brilliant time to get some frozen things and of course very few people about, and so home.
Today I shall have a little advantage with the buggy, as there are notices up for no car parking on the high street from today. The fair is coming today , so there will be the market in the morning, and then later in the afternoon the fair will be setting up ready for tomorrow. So as I am able to go on the paths I shall still be able to visit the market, so will stop working in the garden a little earlier, to allow me to get down the market before it gets too hot. Tonight it is the whist drive as usual, so it will be enjoyable and as I have played since I was 4 , I can relax and will feel less stupid than last night!
Mick I do hope you can find out why you are losing weight a lot. We are never happy with our weight, it is always too little or too much, but you never hear anyone saying I am just the weight I want to be.
Karmalady The ice cream making sounded good. I expect it needed a lot of tasting to check!
Blue Sapphire sorry you are not feeling so good. Hope things improve for you.
Well my washing machine is making odd noises so need to go to the rescue I think Hope everyone has a good day and enjoys the weather
