A wet Saturday saw me doing laundry, a little housework and popping down to see my dad. We had lunch together and managed to take the dog out for a walk before the rain came down in Winchester. I’ll do shopping tomorrow. I popped into the shops to get things for lunch, but that wasContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

I wish the weather would make up its mind! We had a dry morning and a wet afternoon and evening! But on the plus I managed to get a few rough reviews written up. And a few put onto my blog for future dates😀 🦋

A pretty nice start to Thursday, but by lunchtime it had gotten darker, and over the few few hours the rain cane in and stayed here! I managed to get in two walks today. The third I did a 5mile video exercise instead! And as I haven’t done my yoga for about a week now,Continue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Definitely a better day weather wise. I managed to get all of my walks in. I’m not so out of breath now. I prepare by taking my inhalers (something I wouldn’t always do before the pandemic started) starting off gentle, and working up to a little faster. My music is on pretty low (again IContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

Wet and windy until about lunchtime, then the sun did try to peek out. I got a couple of walks in and an exercise video this morning 😉 But as the evening drew in, then the wind and the rain started up again. Think it’s going to be a windy night tonight. 🦋

But if a mixed bag weather wise today. But I managed to get my walks in, so not a total loss! Put laundry away and caught up with a few people over the phone. I go back to work next week, and it’s going to be a little strange. I’ve gotten use to my littleContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

A chilled day today. Caught up with family and friends on the phone. Managed to get three nice long walks in as well. My dad popped down for a quick visit and cup of tea. Went up to the cemetery and sat with Kim for a little while. Did some good shopping and then wentContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

Weather behaved itself all day. I went down to visit my sister, we had a lovely catch up. We sat in her communal garden by the stream and chatted for hours. We had a picnic, and went for a walk to the local park. It made such a nice change to chat in person andContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

Weather was a little all over the place today. But luckily I got a few walks in between the showers. Did a little housework and got some reading done. I’m off to see my youngest sister’s new home tomorrow. My husband is taking me as I’m not ready to use the trains 😷 so hopingContinue reading “Friday’s Post”

Today was a brighter and sunnier day. I managed all my walks, I got washing put out on the line. I also pushed myself and went for a walk into town. It was a strange feeling, with mask over my face, and everyone walking in the same direction. We couldn’t divert, if you needed toContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

It rained for most of the day, and when it wasn’t raining, it was drizzle! Add a few downpours and it was definitely a wet Wednesday! I did some laundry, hung it up on an airer I have in the spare room. Ran the vacuum round and got beef out to make a stew. NothingContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

You do have to wonder if the summer has left us? Another cold and wet day! Catching up with family and friends through the day. I did manage my walks about and about, so that was a plus. Cleared out my kindle and my phone (I have too many books that I’ll never read again.Continue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Not to much done today. We had showers on and off for most of the morning. I did manage a few walks today. Plenty of reading and polishing up a few reviews. I’m going back to work in the next few weeks, so I need to keep up the walks. And possibly a few walksContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

Today we had just a few light showers, I wouldn’t even call them that! My son came down to visit today. I was lovely catching up. We also had a family BBQ at my daughter’s house, we managed to keep dry under umbrella’s and the sunshades 😉 then late afternoon the sun came out, soContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

The start of the weekend is a cooler one. I must admit it’s a welcoming one, but with the threat of rain for most of the day, I couldn’t put washing out on the line. But on the plus side it kept people in their homes, so I ventured into town. Took my face mask,Continue reading “Saturday’s Post”

A chilly and dreary day. But as it’s been so hot and muggy recently, it made a welcoming change in the weather. Got a couple of walks in today. I even pushed myself and went into town. I had a parcel to send to my nieces, I only did one shop, but I did it.Continue reading “Friday’s Post”

It’s finally a little cooler tonight. We’ve had rain on and off for most of the day, and around lunchtime it started to thunder. It rumbled on and off for most of the afternoon, we even got a little lightning. I got a walk in this morning, and I tried keeping busy for most ofContinue reading “Thursday’s Post”

Another hot day, just a walk in the morning and the evening today. This afternoon we had a little respite with a thunderstorm. It really rumbled through the town. It brought the temperature down whilst it was raining, but not long after the rain left, the temperature went back up! But at least I didn’tContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

Decided the towels all needed washing, so they went out on the line, when they came back in later, they smelled amazing. Love the smell of fresh towels (I also had new conditioner to try) Lunch in the garden, I spent most of the day outside, reading, listening to music, a little weeding. Got aContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Another muggy day. There is a small part of me glad I’m not at work at the moment. Working in a kitchen in the height of summer is no fun! I did only two walks today, my afternoon one was going to be too hot to do! Managed a little housework in between sitting inContinue reading “Monday’s Post”

The weather is suppose to change next week, so me and hubby planned to go for a drive somewhere and a maybe a drink in a pub. What we did was different from what we planned. I was just about to get changed, when there was a knock on the door, my eldest stepdaughter wasContinue reading “Sunday’s Post”

It’s funny how a bit of warm weather brings out the worse in people! So I go out for my early morning walk, cooler than yesterday thank goodness. And quiet too, best time of the day. Except for the jogger that decided I needed to move over! And the mobility scooter that came out fromContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”

Oh today was so hot today. Too hot to do much, I spent most of my day under my fan in the bedroom. I got two walks in today. One early morning and one late one. It was so much cooler. 🦋

So the day doesn’t start off too good, a little damp, and a few light showers. But it gets better by the end of the day. Got my walks in, got to chat to a few people and did a little more housework. 🦋

During one of my walks today, I had to avoid mobility scooters, joggers that needed the whole of the path, and push bikes that needed all the path and a bit more! No matter what way you go, no matter how you walk that path, there will always be someone telling you that your inContinue reading “Wednesday’s Post”

Can’t believe we are almost into our first week of August! Thankfully the sun was out, so I got my walks in. Caught up with family and friends in the usual ways. Thought I’d have a rest from books today, my little library got a good tidy up, and I’ve sorted more stuff out forContinue reading “Tuesday’s Post”

Laundry, housework and a fair amount of walking today. Caught up with the us it all people using the usual methods of communication. Catching up with some reading and reviewing, I did try to listen to an audio book, but I almost fell asleep, laying on the bed with the sun on my back wasContinue reading “Monday’s w”

A quick shower this morning seemed to cool the day down. I got a few good walks in today. Also got the other pair of curtains washed. Mowed the back lawn, tidied up the garden and weeded the flower beds. 🦋

A day challenges. I started the day off with washing a set of curtains before going out for a walk. I also went to see my dad, so that meant getting some food, I ventured into a supermarket, the first in almost five months! I won’t deny I was a little nervous, I didn’t getContinue reading “Saturday’s Post”
