I know we haven’t had it as hot here as you guys have up country, but it’s way too hot for my peri menopausal body! Hot flushes In this weather are not fun! 
I did go for a swim in the sea yesterday which was blissful. First time I have sea swam in  a decade (im ashamed to admit that living within half a mile of the sea) then today 89 year old Mum joined me! Was so lovely.

That is so special - go zigzag's mum!

Most of our nearest beaches are flying 'brown flags' - awful situation

We are incredibly lucky with our three local beaches. Stunning water, so clear. Obviously we do get some sewage discharged in storm weather but not very much and thankfully rarely.

Good morning - 'tis Friday

How is everyone?

Not long now - end of term/school year is nearly here!

Granddog has been just lovely - he will be going home tomorrow - will be 'replaced' with a different granddog next Friday! July is certainly dog sitting month for me - all good very happy to have them.

Two youngest grandchildren have had fabulous school reports - very proud of them ❤️

Loving the tennis!

Not loving these mad temperatures!

Onwards and upwards

Have a good weekend all x

Morning! Glad you're you so enjoying your granddogs and grandchildren!

I think the hot weather is beginning to get to me - I'm getting up way later than usual and it's throwing me. I did have sorting out the spare room on my TDL for today but am seriously tempted to just sit in the garden and knit/crochet/read this morning while it's still shady and then do the same in my front room this afternoon!

This weekend it's the well dressing in my mum and dad's village and my brother is down here for a canoe polo tournament so I will probably go and do those too.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Morning all

1st day of the summer break for me 😁

Been to my dance/fitness calss this morning - it was hot!! Now planning on spending the rest of the day doing nothing...😁😁😁

No real plans for the week either😳 I feel totally drained  so jut need to rest for the week. (think it's the after effects of the shingles?)

Hope everyone has a good week.

I’m thinking of getting the sewing machine out of the attic.  It’s not seen much action since scrubs and mask making - do you remember those times?   Anyone else sewing scrubs?

I made some very fetching ones for staff to wear... we didn't use them in the end.  It all got a s bit silly around here- with hospitals asking people NOT to make any!

I seem to like looking at my machine just lately, possibly give it a lttle dust/clean 😂

Goodness Cait - sewing scrubs that feels like a 'lifetime' away (not that I made any, as you know I can't sew for toffee!)

Lovely to see you posting on the Friday thread ❤️

That sounds entirely reasonable to me - you don't want to rush into anything 🤣
