Good Morning Tuesday 28th July 2926

Good morning from an overcast Bristol. The nights are becoming warmer again. Sigh!
Yesterday was ok; shopping on foot and tidying up in the morning.
I had a dermatology follow up appointment in the afternoon. The consultant was over an hour late, so in all, factoring in buses, etc.,It was three hours out for a 5 minute consultation. Then, I went for the loo, checked my phone for buses, only to realise that it was ringing. The consultant, while writing up my notes, had realised that she hadn’t checked an area, would I come in again. Another minute… at least she was thorough.
Today is an even quieter. I find this time of year very hard, and often go three days without speaking to anyone other than greeting people here and there.
All the best to all, especially the mountaineers. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from Malta where rain is forecast (unusual for July) and a high of 32° (36°C real feel).

The boys came over yesterday morning with DD3 to drop Milo dog off. He gets so excited and heads straight for his toys! He’s a funny little dog but full of character.

After they had left to go to the barber, I went to Eurospin, Lidl and Homemate (to buy a fan for the boys’ room). Nowhere to park outside my home so had to do four trips back and forth to offload my shopping when I noticed a scrape on the car. It must have happened at one of the three places I’d been to as it wasn’t there when I left home. I was cross but tend not to let things like that bother me too much. Life is too short but I hope whoever did will get their karma for not owning up!

The boys came later with their short back and sides looking very cute! DD3 assembled the fan I had bought then they took Milo with them and I went for my appointment at the doctor.

Watched a bit of tennis from Washington DC and packed away my cushions on the outdoor furniture as rain is forecast.

Today I have a hair appointment at 10 am. I’m in a bit of a quandary as my long-time hairdresser is reopening next Saturday after her cancer surgery, but I have been finding it so convenient going to the one closer to where I live. It isn’t even a minute’s walk whereas my original hairdresser is a ten minute drive. It’s a pain getting the car out in this heat but I feel disloyal if I don’t go back to her after all she’s been through.

Hope all will be well for you Mick and that it is just a routine call.

I’m sorry you are feeling rather lost grandMattie. It can be very challenging living alone especially when the family are off on their holidays. Sending you a hug.🤗

Well, first task of the day is to get on my crosstrainer for half an hour’s sweat! I put on some 60’s/70’s workout music and it soon passes!

Take care all.☀️
