It seems I'm a patient now!

Such a long sleep, a good restorative sleep! 

Daughter is safely enjoying the country, Henry-pup was loving the freedom and exploring, just what they needed!

I began saving up some of the smaller logs (thickest will have to wait hubs putting together his new chain saw!) and suddenly hit a low blood sugar moment (both my brother and I experience these at this sort of time of day, always have, feeling shaky and sweaty and a bit wobbly and faint usually sorted with some protein) with a hot flush at the same time! Had to go get a chunk of cheese and a cold drink and a sit down in front of the fan!!!! Our crazy bodies, eh?!

Today’s escapade, off to the museum so an early start (some REALLY bad driving notes at times, how some folk passed their driving tests I’ll never know!) and assisted on quite a few jobs, plus finished my own regular job which I hadn’t finished last week.

then packed the van ready to come home and it wouldn’t start! A few folk around with ideas to try....and hubs was told to try foot on clutch AND brake pedals and she started! I’d just called the rescue squad so had to phone back and cancel! Safely home, emptied waste water and filled onboard tank with fresh as it had begun to trickle out of the tap; so that job is done!

Picked some fruit, watered the pots that needed it which seems to have brought on the rain! 

Now sat with a cuppa deciding what to cook for dinner, today has gone really fast!

Todays hard work was sawing the tree branches into smaller chunks so that they are easier to transport plus take up less room on the garden path (which is fortunately wide enough so we don't trip over them!) and all that are left need hubs to get the new chain saw assembled and working. He's put this off as he has plenty to get on with! (he keeps putting it off, I suspect he's a bit nervous of it!). 

The big tree trunk still lies near the shed, again fortunately not in the way too much. 

My stock of frozen fruit (loganberries, blackberries and some blueberries) has been steadily growing and this afternoon I think I need to make some blueberry muffins, as we certainly have enough blueberries, and I've frozen some already!

The blueberry muffins were lovely, really yummy, I perhaps put rather too many blueberries in, but it made them so moist!

had a great FaceTime with daughter this evening, she’s enjoying the freedom and quiet, as is Henry-pup! They are in the campervan with a huge new awning  - plus wood burning stove, all set up in a field near her housemates mums home, all part of the land. Her housemates Mums dog (a somewhat elderly collie) enjoys playing with Henry, they chase each other around, which is great for both dogs. Sadly her mum had Covid way back in March (has recently tested clear) and still has the cough so had an X-ray and blood tests as her kidneys aren’t quite right either, so daughter is quite glad they are there for results time.

Today it’s daughter’s housemates birthday! So glad they are feeling ‘free’ to celebrate it. She has been terrific in her support of daughter in that she’s worked from home all this time, they’ve had all shopping (including the glamorous tent/awning that they are using now) delivered. She’s a star!

Spotted on Twitter this morning.....

Sometimes having an easy day can be quite exhausting! Got to be up early for the handyman tomorrow as hubs simply can’t stand long enough to rub down and paint (and I’m not that good at it!)

Night night all...hugs xxx

We managed to move the vehicles in good time, handyman is already onto the painting having rubbed the old paint down!

Hugs xxx

Almost all done, one area that faces the prevailing wind is too bad so he’s coming back in a couple of weeks to deal with that (we have the wood already) and give the rest a second coat of paint. He’s done a good job.

and I’ve made rolls, done a bit of gardening and a bit of cleaning!
