Dry but blustrous here today; maybe the blowing-about that brings a change in temperature, as the forecast is for up to 24° next week.
We had a fairly useful choir practice this morning (even though the accompaniment was just me bashing away the melody line on the appliance organ). It's a very long time since I've had a serious relationship with a keyboard that doesn't start with "qwerty"!
I'm contemplating an Expotition out to M&S if I can muster up the energy; I haven't been there for ages, and there are a few things that you just can't get anywhere else.
Dry, Sun-Shiny (mostly) and Warm in Arkland the Deserted - unusually for a Saturday, there aren't many people about, and little work appears to be under way on neighbouring Arks.
I, however, filled with Virtue and a desire to Improve The Shining Hour, have been busy putting some nice black bitumen Paint on parts of the deck which need it. More will be undertaken after Lunch, which is SHEPHERD'S PIE, just about ready to be taken out of the Remoska, and devoured.
Warm here at 25 degrees (over 30 expected next week). I have had a long walk and done some tidying and laundry. I should continue the tidying of bedroom cupboards soon.
Lunch was sausages, eggs and toast.
Mr Nen and I had a lovely morning and lunch out together and then visited Nenlet1, son-in-law and the GrandNenling who was on wonderful form and delighted to see us. The feeling was mutual. .
How lovely.
It was. I hope you have a wonderful time with your little family too.
Warm and sunny here. I've been out for coffee with friends and am looking forward to stir fry this evening - because Saturday.
Just back from a walk with Husband Beaky. We have a fairly large new housing development near us and part of their planning permission required them to improve the environment so a wetland was developed. Lovely walk around it, saw lots of dragonflies and Reed Warblers. 😍
A busy day exploring Newcastle and its surrounds, including buying a bargain lampshade in John Lewis. I took us on a longish walk to find what looked like a promising vegan cafe, it wasn’t and we had to repair to another cafe shortly after to fill upon cake.
Welcome to the Mediterranean After a pleasingly uneventful journey, we are now settled in by the sea. It's going to be hot, but not as hot as foie gras land, so that's nice.
And you'll always have the sea to cool down in - have fun!
I was forcefully reminded today of why I don't go to Marks & Sparks very often. The bus going out was at least 10 minutes late; there are road works along the High Street, and the traffic was crawling. Coming back, of course I just missed a bus, and despite them allegedly running every 30 minutes, I waited at least 45, by which time my back was aching (the bus shelter didn't have one of those little ledge thingies you can lean against) and I was feeling decidedly pissed off.
It's a bonny, if still somewhat breezy, evening though, and I've got some nice food in the fridge and larder.
