Good morning all,it's only 15° here in Glasgow, with yet again more rain.
I am puzzled by all these references to the heat.😉 What heat???
I treated myself to an Hělène Bernan dress yesterday, why???
It would have been more sensible, to buy a wooly sweater.🤣
Dear Gagagran, my sincere condolences. 💐
Dragonfly, I hope you are OK.
I am another who never let's my petrol tank go below half full. In fact, on the way back from the surgery yesterday, I topped it up, despite having 159 miles worth of petrol left.
At last, things are moving with DH, he received two cardiology appointments yesterday and the GP has sent photos of the infected keratosis to the dermatologist.
We thought one qppointment was clashing with my urgent rheumatology appointment, but I managed to resolve that.
Yesterday's funeral was rather upsetting for the mourners.
I arrived or tried to, only to find all access to the church, blocked by contractors, installing new water mains. They had closed off the exit from the large roundabout, adjacent to the church and the other entrance was blocked by the renovations. 🙈
I had to retrace my steps and drive up to my old school, then through a housing estate and back down the hill. Unfortunately, everyone else had the same idea and the narrow streets were gridlocked.
When I eventually got there, I spotted the P.P. walking down the hill in the pouring rain, to speak to the contractors.
He had previously contacted them, to inform them of the funeral and was assured, there would be access. No there wasn't. !!!!
Eventually, after some negotiation, the men reluctantly agreed to move their vans, which they had parked sideways across the roundabout, and allow the funeral cortege to come through.
The poor family were in tears.
It got worse, the organ broke down and the cantor valiantly sang all the music, unaccompanied.
If the rain stays off, we hope to get into the garden to move the dwarf apple tree, to fill the space, where the tree came down.
We had a contractor in yesterday for a quote to de-moss our roof. He has made a good job of our neighbours', so he will start next week, for I have been procrastinating for ages.
He was shocked when he saw our garden and asked if we had done all the work ourselves. He said it was beautiful, I thought it was a mess, because we are still clearing up the storm damage. It really bothering me, that I am permanently feeling too unwell to tackle it. I used to have ^good days*, and some respite. 😪
DH will not consider getting help, because, he will be better soon!
I am off to Sainsbury's first, then a rest, I am going to make an all in one dish, using smoked sausage, taught to me by a cook in Spain.
I asked her how to make: she went into the bin, took out a empty smoked sausage tin and an empty McCains bag, which had held potato cubes. 🤣
You just add, your preferred vegetables.
I wish you all a pleasant day.
