Enjoyed my back and shoulder massage this afternoon and it was lovely to see my beautician again. She's been extremely fraught over the lockdown as she had only recently bought the business a few months before it all kicked off. Spitting with rage about the 'men can have beards trimmed but women can't get their eyebrows done' scenario.
I'm actually unexpectedly booked in tomorrow to have my hair cut, thought I'd have to wait weeks!
Evening. Officially mid-week for me, which is the positive spin on my initial thought of: is it only Tuesday as I’m ready for the weekend already. I daren’t look at the forecast as every time I do either the temp is lower or the sun has been removed.
Hope you are all ok after your adventures at dentist, hairdressers, optician, masseur etc.
I gave in & went to the Osteopath yesterday, shoulders & neck still giving trouble & absence of Yoga classes isn't helping. I know I could do the exercises myself but I lack the discipline to do a whole hour on my own which is what is needed to have any real benefit. I echo Aunty Rach above with good wishes to everyone else.
I have now let six Sparrows out of our log burner in a week, what is going on? I can't see how they can be nesting at the top of the chimney but I think they must be, too much of a coincidence for them all to fall down the flu. Watched the bats leaving from behind our shutters after sunset tonight, love to have them but they are rather messy. I would love to have a bat detector to see which ones we have besides the Pipistrelles.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ its another glorious morning here in Norfolk. 😎 Hope everyone’s had a restful night 😊
OH has a 4hr shift today, then a few days’ leave so we’re planning a day trip tomorrow to see his mum who lives on her own. We’ll have a socially distanced sit and natter in the garden, so today I’ll make some pasties to take for our lunch, and some lettuce, pea and mint soup for our supper when we return home.
But first I need another coffee ... better give the coffeemaker a nudge ... 😉

I was awake early at 5 am this morning - woke up suddenly from a dreadful nightmare and was too hot and frightened to go back to sleep. I've just been sitting watching the birds on the feeder.The very first one was a blue tit. It's very still and cloudy this morning. Time for brekkie I think.
Hope you enjoy your day out tomorrow Dove. No doubt OH's mum will be pleased to see you both.
Ohhh! Hate nightmares like that @Lizzie27 ... I find they can stay with me for hours unless I manage to really shake them out of my head ... put Radio 2 on and dancing and singing around the kitchen for a couple of hours usually does it for me 🎼🎧🎤💃

@floralies - we usually get a cluster in spring after the first batch of newborns has fledged. Then they learn and stop it. Mostly sparrows and a n occasional great tit.
Woke up before OH today so I've done coffee duty which includes exhuberant morning greetings for the dogs followed by their meds - arthritis pill hidden in a bit of cat food so Minstrel cat comes and helps, then their Dentastix and then food for the birds. It's a palaver.
Have just checked the forecast and it's going to be cooler today and the radar shows a good long shower fell at about 5am but a couple of hundred metres to the south of us and heading south. Humph! All we've got is the cold northerly breeze here now. Hoping to start on planting that new bed which OH started forking over for me. Wore himself out in one strip - more quarrying.
You'll need a bit of a doze later then @Lizzie. Happy baking @Dovefromabove . I've been doing cucumber, pea and lettuce soup and it's a winner. Good way to get thru all the cucumbers.
Greetings to all yet to pop in.
