Got the bench finished in good time - MIL happy. Picked up a cool box in good time - eldest happy. Got to blood donation appointment 30 mins early but didn't get called until after my appointment time and then got left waiting after the 470ml bag was full and dinging. Tried to leave without eating and drinking in front of them and got apprehended. Only got the last 10 mins of the 2pm KO - Biglad not happy!
Only half a day @Songbird-1 Settled in front of the TV for Wales in game no. 14 now.
I'm not allowed to do anything strenuous according to highly-trained NHS professionals, so I'm compelled to sit in the comfy armchair for the rest of the day .
Hello all. Thank you @Songbird-1 I loved that cartoon @debs64, I laughed out loud.
The builders and P turned up this morning, P for keys and to, very helpfully, repair a door lock and the builders have started turning the big open barn into a car port.
I went for my Covid test for the journey, negative, and I've filled in the UK government Locator form online and printed it. Took ages, 3 pages.
This evening I'll be podding broad beans to freeze, they are just big enough
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Meant to say, I bought a new pair of sandals this morning when I went to town for the Covid test. Usually French sandals are too tight, French ladies have daintier feet than me. But this ones are comfy and pretty, white and gold and strappy.
This afternoon I went to Son 2's bearing a Lego birthday pressie for H, 6, and to say goodbye for now. Had a good cuddle with baby Charles.

Evening everyone, bit late today. Didn't sleep well last night because of the heat and today has been far too hot. It's made OH feel quite poorly today. But hopefully the temperature will start to drop as the heavens opened about 15 minutes ago and it's absolutely pouring down. Ooh and just a flash of lightning then. @Busy-Lizzie sorry to hear your sandals have broken, hope you can mend them. But great you found a new pair this morning. They sound lovely. Good news about covid test too. Safe journey tomorrow, bet you can't wait to see OH. Have a lovely time in Norfolk. Take care. @Songbird-1 hope your rash eases soon. Hope the cream helps with the itching. @Chivetalking glad you and your mum had a lovely day together. Hope you sleep well tonight. @debs64 love the cartoon. And so true, I want some Rose's and a few more plants. Might have to make another border though.😂 @Ladybird4 glad the plumber managed to repair the squirty tap. @Biglad more football tonight. OH is watching too. @Rubee hope your OH got on ok with the monitor. Hope he sleeps better tonight. @Yviestevie so pleased your OH speech is improving. Look after yourself too. Its absolutely throwing it down, but it's still scorching. Probably because I've had to close the patio doors and some windows 🥵🥵🥵 Have a lovely evening everyone
Good evening .Thank you for asking about the results of OHs blood pressure monitor . Doctors receptionist said that the doctor would ring next Thursday .Lily sorry that your OH has been affected by the weather .I hope you both sleep tonight .Chive glad you had a nice time with your mum . Signing out ,goodnight everyone .
Evening all. I had to have a dash across the road to see Jack and his daughter and survey the horrors left by some supposedly experienced (17 years!) conservatory and driveway cleaners. Honestly it looked just like a mud slide had gone though Jack's garden. I felt so sorry for him as he has become the victim of unscrupulous people who took advantage of him. This is not the end of the tale though as I photographed every disgusting inch of it on his daughter's mobile and she is going to keep me informed about the outcome of the 'follow up'.
Yvie, I'm glad that your OH has homework to help with his speech - are you going to check he has done it?
Biglad, I hope that you are enjoying the footie - I'm going to be watching the final of Sewing Bee.
Busy, I'm pleased that you got yourself some new sandals, they sound very swish! Have a safe trip tomorrow.
Chive, sounds like your meet up with Mum was good fun.
Good night Hazel. I hope that you sleep well.
Ruby, I hope that the results from OH's monitor are good ones.
SGL, I had a restless night last night and there was a little bit of rain here when I went over the road to Jack's. Here's me wanting just a tiny bit more to refresh my garden!
I'm signing out too so I'll see all you lovely people tomorrow.
T'Bird, hope all is well with you.
