Hello Ante and all to follow. 28°C! That is nice and warm. Maybe we will get some heat later on. The sun is, after all, just beginning to peek through. Obviously it is because of England's sterling performance in winning the second test!
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Hello LB and all to follow. Gorgeous day here. Allotment this morning and this afternoon my hairdresser is coming!!!! So excited as my hair is looking awful, it’s short and very fine so needs a regular cut to keep it looking reasonable and it is desperate to be bleached too, not only do I hate the dark roots but it’s so greasy it needs bleaching to dry it out I have resorted to washing it twice a day recently.Â
My hairdresser is mobile so hoping we can get most stuff done in the garden to avoid the need for masks etc. I wil leave it up to her what precautions she wants to take I am not worried at all but I try to make others feel comfortable and follow their lead.Â
We also have a man coming to price up carpet for front room so busy busy!Â
Ikea was fine and I didn’t spend too much. Lots of jars and bottles planning to make black currant cordial and jam and gooseberry jam too.Â
Morning everyone Sun is shining here too at the moment, looks like it could be a nice day. I kept waking last night, I got bitten on my back whilst out in the garden yesterday and it looks very angry. The pain seems to have eased now I've had a bath. But it looks like it could be 3 or 4 bites it's so big. Glad you managed to get your jars and bottles Debs, bet you'll feel lovely after your haircut. Quite nice to sit in the garden and have it done. Ante any raspberry cake left, that really does sound yummy. Have a lovely day everyone.
Morning Ante and LB . It was beautiful sunny morning . It’s now overcast . I have some cutting back to do today . Not much else on the agenda apart from pottering .Have a nice day .
Morning Debs and SGL. You have 'dark roots' Debs!!!!. Mine were silver. I still have a wait until August 5th for my haircut - got a ponytail now. I wasn't worried about my colour as my Bestie's daughter did that for me whilst I went over there. Glad you got your bottles and jars and your cordials and jam sound delicious. I do hope that you will get your kitchen done before your new carpet goes down. Poor you SGL. All I can say is you must be very tasty! Seriously, my friend from Crewe reacts really badly to ant bites. Have you any antihistamine ointment/pills in? Hope it subsides soon.

Ooh Ruby, you snuckered in. Good morning to you. I've got my annual medical telephone consultation this morning at 09:15 so I cannot gallivant in the garden until after then. Thats where I will be heading though.

It was a wasp LB, I felt something crawling on my back under my top. And unfortunately it decided to sting me a few times! Have put some cream on it, but hasn't done much yet.Â
Morning all. Second stage of hedge cutting and clearing calls so I'm putting it off for as long as possible...
Wasp stings are nasty SGL. If you have any allergy / hayfever / antihistamine tablets (and you are ok take them) I'd strongly recommend taking them for a couple of days to reduce the inflammation and irritation. They're usually much more effective than just using a cream.
Empathise with the hair stuff Debs. I really am not keen on the colour of mine at the moment. Amazing how 'bad hair' drags you down isn't it? So many bigger more important things to worry about but the little things like that are the final straw. My hairdresser wore a full perspex face visor so neither of us had to wear masks - that made both our lives a little easier.
LB - I need to arrange my annual meds review. Maybe tomorrow - need to wait by the phone all day for that. Last time they phoned at 8.30pm. Poor doctor still working at that time and poor me - whole day wasted waiting for a phone call.
Did ok on Uni Chall last night. I wonder if they were able to film a new series of Only Connect before lockdown? I'll miss it if we don't have it this year. Maybe they could show the first series again  -  imagine a lot of us didn't see it. Think we only picked up on the programme at about series 3.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
