Good morning all from a very humid Glasgow, it’s 15C , but it is predicted to go up to 28C.
Nothing planned today, I welcome some down time, I have been overdoing it as usual and the heat is affecting my breathing, so I will be just pottering about.
Poor Mr MDoll was disappointed with yesterday’s visit to B&Q. I was not, as I managed a few bargains, One large hydrangea, 2 potted geraniums, a rose bush and …. All for £7. I’m not a cheapskate, I just love a bargain.
Apparently, there is such a shortage of building materials, no paving slabs to be had anywhere. I was told that 80% of Britain’s cement has been earmarked for the Crossrail project, our local builders are only being allocated two bags day! However, ever resourceful, I have found a local reclamation yard, which I spotted on a Bargain Hunt programme, much more environmentally friendly. I just need to sow the seed in His Lordship’s brain, that this should be the source of his paving slabs!
We had a surprise visit from DD and SIL yesterday evening. They are both working from home, but the heat in their apartment is unbearable, so she came to borrow our fan, which was buried in the depths of our garage. Not an easy task finding it in the intolerable heat. They decided to go for a walk over the fields and lasted only ten minutes, as they found the heat so exhausting. The alternative was much more pleasant, sitting in the garden eating Cornish ice cream!
Mr MDoll is not in the good books at all! (What’s new, you ask?). The washing machine has developed a fault and not surprisingly, only after I fished out a golf tee from the drum! I really don’t know who the culprit can be. ?The prime suspect is robustly, proclaiming his innocence! ? Of course, he will take no responsibility for contacting the engineer.
Alizerin, I am so impressed with your health care. My referral for a new hip was made eighteen months ago and I still haven't seen anyone! Apparently once I see the orthopaedic consultant, it will be at least a two year wait here in Glasgow for the op!
Wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful day, whatever your plans.. Greyduster, good luck with your hospital appointment.
Take care everyone in this awful heat. We are never happy with the weather, are we?
