Falls do knock your confidence,
I bet you got a telling off from your DD😁
It's just been on the news about the red health warning with the heat ,
Will it be anywhere near you?

I hope the timing works then you are not backwards and forwards picking people up,
Enjoy your Aqua and reflexology.

We have the dog unexpectedly,
DD having a proper roof put on her conservatory and they turned up unexpectedly this morning,
Lots of banging and doors open so Storm is safer with us .

We did intend going to a few door places later but it can wait for another day, there is no hurry.

B did the porch roof for me , he wanted to hose the bottom of the drive where all the dust is on the road from the work that was done ,but realised there is a piece missing from our big hose so he has had to go to B&Q for one

Good Wednesday morning, everyone.

Nanto, those two little birds have reminded me to update the news on the maternity ward - I'll do that later.

Oma, you're a glutton for punishment doing heavy cleaning in this weather. At least it should be cool in Iceland. Or is it? (We haven't got any local branches.)

Gem, your day needs split second timing! I hope it all goes to plan and OH doesn't have to wait too long for her scan and blood test.

Enfys, Your gardener will appreciate your thoughtfulness. It's hard to watch someone else work, isn't it. I'd much rather do things myself, but it isn't always possible, especially at our age, so we have to gracefully accept the help and relax. Accidents, falls etc happen so quickly and unexpectedly, so I can understand your DD keeping an eye on you. I keep saying I'll go to do the shopping, but having it delivered is such a convenience, even with the bizarre substitutions. It's certainly getting hot today!

Plant, I hope the hospital trip went well and they are pleased with your progress.

Our hospital trip this morning went well. We didn't have to wait long. OH is now "watching television" (having a doze, really). As always he feels drained and a bit light headed after the injection. I quiet day should help. It's very warm here, 27C at the moment and forecast to be 31C this afternoon. I'm glad I watered all the garden pots last night.

Hallo everyone, Daisy, Wednesday???

It is still very warm and will be all this week. I have been to do the coffee, I made a chocolate marble cake early this morning as a treat for the men!!! It went down very well!!!

Oma, do you ever relax and think " the house is for my pleasure" and not the other way round??? It took me years of therapy to realise that, honest it did, now I realise what a fool I was!

I have been to have my eyes tested, all is fine, so I hope the headaches are from the allergies!

I am going to the pedicure at 4-30 as my toenail needs a look at, the young lady has 15 minutes over a few times a week for people like me!!!!!

DS1 is on his way to Dortmund for a few days for work, then, they leave on Friday with GD2 for the UK, Chris Isaak concert (I am jealous) then Harry Potter studios , Oxford etc etc. They arrive home 10 days later then make the same journey a few days later for Wimbledon!!! I am not jealous about that though!!! GD1 goes to Greece on July 1st for 10 days with her friend, it is all go. I asked how they were getting to the airport, the friends parents are taking them then DS1 is picking them up when they return, they are going to Zakinthos.

I did some shopping on my way home so I don't have to do that, it is only a 5 minutes bike ride to the pedicure, in the same building as the gym.

Oma, we’re on an Amber heat warning here, it’s currently 31 , I’ve just been outside and it’s unbearable. There’s no air it just feel hot and heavy. So I’m in the lounge, fan on, windows shut and curtains drawn and it’s feeling ok. Plenty of ice in the freezer so it’s fine. I really don’t like it though 😎

We are just back from surgery having my leg dressed again Called at bedding shop and chose a new bed. Bit of an effort but DD and SIL did all the arrangements, I just tested it, very difficult with bad leg. It has been obvious for some time that I needed to do so. I am hoping to get back in my bedroom soon but it has a step up to get into my bedrooms.

Enfys, gardening is a bit of a no no with this heat, personally I don’t feel it has been as bad today. Just keep that oven off.

Daisy, pleased the hospital trip was not too long, pleased to hear OH is having a nap.
