Suddenly it's August!
Strangely there's very little Olympics interest in this house. Not sure if it's the time difference, the pandemic controversy, the BBC coverage of little bits and pieces or the recent sports overload of Euro football and Wimbledon tennis or just that the weather is good enough for Hubby to have plenty of other things to do. I'm just checking most mornings for medals and headlines as I am proud of what Team GB achieve.
We've always appreciated the community spirit of this close. We live at 28, however Hubby wouldn't dream of cutting back our side of our two hedges without doing the other side for 24 (which takes longer than our side). 25 also benefit as it's their main view. Hubby of course uses 27's shredder and here he's filling 23's bin, although he's often seen asking everyone who has bin space.
Not sure I'll call this neighbour a friend anymore after she captured me on camera helping! Cruel but funny.
Wednesday lunchtime met friendHG at The Sun Inn which is about 40mins from me and about the same for her. Loooong catchup chat which was lovely (last seen in person early 2019). This was my treat as part of friendHG's birthday present.
When I got home Daughter was here with O, R and the dog. She was loading her car and roof box with all the camping stuff for her, E and boyfriend for the next five days at Harlequin Fayre. Daughter and O went home, R and the dog moved in here.
When R has the dog here they sleep downstairs in the office and over the years she's had various temporary beds starting with the foam from the sunloungers, then Daughter's camp bed and last time the blow up airbed we'd bought to take to Spain last year (which was covid cancelled). This time Hubby made up her bed with the airbed, which he had to inflate in the garage as our pump only has the car cigar lighter plug (nothing is ever easy hahaha). First night at midnight R let me know her bed has gone flat, Daughter had taken the camp bed so R is back on the foam from the sunloungers! Next day Hubby tried pumping up the airbed again but now thinks the valve is damaged. I actually found a sofa bed for sale on our local fb second hand page and got quite excited getting details from the seller online, but it was about 20cm too big for the space we have. Best solution for R's comfort was Hubby grabbing the mattress off R's single bed upstairs and bringing that down.
Friday morning had a blood test requested by GP as a regular check. In the afternoon met friendM at Kesgrave Hall for late lunch and good catchup chat. This was friendM's treat as part of my birthday present.
Downstairs toilet refurbishment update probably isn't really worth mentioning because this week all that's happened is Hubby has plastered an area about the size of an A4 sheet of paper and he's received two out of the three parts that make up the new towel rail.
I'm still doing hands-face-space and hope you are too!
