Congratulations Louby Lou, hope you have the best break and can shut off and relax. I’m off to do a changeover and a village hall clean today and will no doubt be a puddle of sweat within 30 minutes! Have family coming down from Kent today so looking forward to a get together tomorrow. Tonight is the next village overs carnival. My grandson is going as part of the baby group and they have made a tractor trailer to fit around his pram (thank you to Nana for saving the day with how to fix it!) some pre-school skills are never lost! And my mum is going as part of her seniors group as a bearded lady! So should be fun! Have a great weekend all.

I bet it just means the world to her that you are both there. Xx

I third you with the heat! It’s unbearable and I know we are not nearly as hot as up country. I did a changeover this morning and literally had to peel all my clothes off and get in a cold shower when I got home. Not enjoying it at all, too hot to go outside or do anything. Have had two sea swims this week but there are so many jellyfish it’s not pleasant! So many different sorts this year as well. My woofer had her operation yesterday and all is well, thank goodness. Except my bank balance is £900 lighter! Sunnyday get your England flags out, you never know when a miracle might happen! Enjoy your granddaughters end of year performance. Scary how quickly time goes. Froglet your dinner sounds scrummy and perfect for this weather. Keep cool everyone and have a lovely weekend.

He will be 10 months on the 11th. It’s just ridiculous how fast it’s going. Louby they certainly are a complete joy, my heart just literally fills when I look at him. Didn’t think I would feel this kind of love again since having my boys, but by golly I do. Dreading Thursday, not sure who is going to be the biggest wreck me or her! 🫣 Out on our adventures on Monday!

Froglet for goodness sake be careful! Glad you are feeling better. I think my husband had a go at that ice cream recipe, it was nice. Sunnyday, glad Mr S is feeling better, that’s a relief for you both. You sound like you are having a very busy retirement! Good for you. Louuby Lou you clever girl, well done. It’s amazing what you can learn of YouTube isn’t it. Nice feeling to save some money as well! I have my grandson on Mondays now whilst parents are at work, the very best day of my week. We take the dogs for a long walk, he obviously goes in the backpack thingy so we can go off roading. This week we went around the local farm and saw all the animals. Can’t believe I’m so lucky to be doing this with my own grandson. He’s also started crawling in the last two weeks so that’s exciting! Oh my goodness how you forget the need to have eyes in the back of your head! All the holiday lets and air b&bs have ramped up so am trying to squeeze as many in as I can along side my other domestic cleans. The next eight weeks will be busy! My darling dog has to go to the vets for a dental procedure under sedation next week, I’m dreading it, she gets so anxious and so insecure when in a strange place. I’m going to be a basket case that day! Fingers crossed all will be well. Have a lovely weekend all, enjoy the beautiful weather. Xx

Oh froglet, do hope you feel better soon. Rotten to be feeling poorly in this weather. Look after that shoulder, scary how quickly a fall can happen.

I hope the caring fairy enjoys her lunch, sounds like she deserves it. Tell Mr S to behave himself while you are gone.

Wow, I had a lot to catch up on. I’m sorry I’ve missed the last couple of weeks Friday roll call. No reason at all for this, except to say the weeks seem to be flying by like someone has pressed fast forward. All good down here, very hot but I know we are lucky as we have been almost 10 degrees cooler most days. It’s still way too hot for me though. I’ve been walking dogs at 6:30, showering, going to work, showering, all interspersed with hot flushes! I should be so slim (I’m not) We had a storm last night but it hasn’t broken the weather and today was sticky and hot. Hope you all get some respite from the intense heat soon. Xx

Such changeable weather this week, been so cold at times as well. Roll on some settled warm, sunny weather. Husband has finally built our garden fence to replace the one we lost in storm Gorreti. So looking forward to getting all my pots back in place and some nice new climbing plants and new trellis for it. Husband has gone out on the boat so hoping it will be fresh pollack for tea tonight, I’m off to do a couple of changeovers this morning, hoping they are nice ones! Have a lovely weekend all. Xx Sleeping for the weekend sounds damn good! I seem to wake up from a nights sleep tired at the moment. Think my HRT needs increasing.

Belated birthday greetings Cait. Xx

In the words of Sunnyday “Tis Friday again” thought I beat you to it today. Hope everyone is ok and had a good week. Been a busy week here straight back into work and catching up on two weeks missed! The weather has made it a lot easier to come home and get back to it but my goodness, I wish I was back on ship! Nothing exciting planned for the weekend, a trip to get compost is as exciting as it gets! But may have to squeeze in a wander around B&M as well. Have a lovely long weekend all. 😘

Cait that is exactly what I do these days! Start one job get distracted and end up with mulitilple unfinished jobs in the go! Hope Andy’s eye surgery goes well. My mum has just had her other cataract op and sight has improved so much. We are now nearly through the bay of Biscay and it’s being kind on the way back! Home tomorrow and I can’t wait to see all the family and my darling woofers. Have a good weekend all. (Goes off muttering is it the weekend?)

Loads of cranes and work still going on!

It’s not finished yet! You can now get a lift to the top of the tower! Have to walk down though!

Rome yesterday but it was not a vibe! Only arranged excursion we have done and never again. But we have done Rome on holiday before so not a disaster!
