Awake and up all night

Thank you Ray. I have a pile of correspondence next to my microwave. Waiting to be put away. I think it has been there for 12 months. I keep saying I will sort it out later.xxx

Hi Ray,After months of procrastinating over the mess that is my 100 drawer unit I have started sorting it out.I wouldn’t worry about your to do list,mine is more like a novel.Love Jane xx

Afternoon Jane, I have been meaning to send you a message but this never ending heat has sapped my will to do much at all. I'll work on excuses for other weather conditions later .  I noticed a few crumbs on the new carpet. I'll add 'hoover crumbs' to the list then tick it off in a few minutes. Two birds with one stone could be counted as progress - or cheating. Is your garden coping with the lack of water? Mine isn't. My son has just mowed the brown, dusty area which was once a lawn. A few weeds with deep taproots were about the only plants needing a trim. Love, Ray xx 

Hi Ray sorry to jump in. My garden is like a desert. We could do with some rain.xx

I cant' remember any British summer being like this one. A week or sometimes two of heat and sun was rare. This hot spell is getting ridiculous, probably serious, for many parts of the country.  xxx

Afternoon Sonia ️

Seems like Rays influence has rubbed off - I've decided not to bother with the washing till tomorrow. Well it's nowt to do with Ray really, I just can't be bothered.

It is too warm again sweetie, so either run a sink and let the washing up soak or leave it till later.

How are you feeling today my lovely? xxx 

There have been alot of wildfires Ray. We have had a hose pipe ban for 2 months now. It is getting hotter next week.xx take care in this heat Ray drink plenty of water. I know you are sensible don't overdo the housework.xxx

Now then - a bit of good news.

IF you are the holder of a blue badge and indeed if you are on the "Priority Services Register" - MOST water companies exempt you from the hosepipe ban - Check with your individual supplier.

They don't want you carrying buckets of water to the grass and flower beds when you already have a disability.

Should I raise a blue badge flag to help the police helicopters and curtain twitchers to look elsewhere?  

Afternoon Gill. I am feeling a bit better thanks. I agree Gill. Not liking this warm weather. Hope you and OH are bearing up.xx sending big hugs to a lovely lady xxx
