Good morning everyone.

Oma, sad news about your neighbour, but despite the sadness there will be some relief.

Aqua for me this morning. I am meeting a friend for coffee this afternoon.

Have a good Monday ladies.

Hallo everyone, a little cooler but still warm!

Sad about your neighbour, alzeimers is a terrible disease, I heard yesterday that a lady I know is being admitted to a care home this week, it was her 85th birthday last week, I was talking to her son, he lives down in the new apartments.

I have a Honeywell ventilation tower, I have had it a few years, now and again when it is hot I use it in my bedroom, it worked last week but would it #### as rotate! I have been looking on line for advice, I was going to take it to the repair cafe in the village on Saturday morning, this morning whilst doing coffee I had another look on line and read that it sometimes helps to unplug it and turn it upside down for 60 seconds! The first thing I did when I got in was do exactly that, it worked, unbelievable!!!

I had a look on Amazon for one the same, delivery would have been .....January 6th 2027!

The directrix was in the office this morning, there are 5 locations, she got a message from the town hall on Friday that all locations are going to be fitted with aircon!

Hello everyone.

Just a quick visit. I'll pop back later. xx

Bittersweet Oma, with the news about your neighbour.

Had a bit of sunshine,but mostly cloudy today.
its been nice to be able to housework without being over warm.

Lizzie,sometimes all it needs is a quick fix. Glad you got it working again.

It's certainly nice to have a more normal summer temperature I must say.

Lizzie, I think something like your ventilation tower will be needed for us all as these summer heatwaves become the norm.

I felt quite tired after my class, but had good long rest and chat with 3 friends over coffee afterwards.
Then out for coffee with another friend this afternoon

We have had our kitchen window replaced today. We were expecting him next week but he must have had a cancellation and came today. The first I knew of it was when I came back from aqua. The van was on the drive and the back window was out!

Gem, You've had a good caffeine boost today, but feeling tired after your class is probably "good" tired. It seems we, as a country, don't cope very well with any extremes of weather, heat, drought, heavy rain, very low temperatures. They all seem to cause a lot of disruption. It was certainly more comfortable today. Good to get the window done, even if it was a surprise to you.

Oma, I'm sorry to hear about your neighbour, but it sounds as though his quality of life was very poor. I hope his wife copes with his loss. At least she has good, caring neighbours. xx

Lizzie, is your lift still working ok? The ventilation tower sounds a good idea. There's often a simple solution to a problem, but turning it upside down must be the easiest fix ever.

Plant, how are you today?

Even though it was hot today I took Eva out about 6 am. She decided she was definitely not going the way I'd planned. Something must have been bothering her, so we went in the opposite direction. It was a longer walk but less off-lead time. I'm enjoying these early morning outings and come back feeling ready to face the day. I've read somewhere that getting outside within the first hour of getting up energises you, and so far, that's how is seems to me. However, it's easier when it's daylight and the weather is kind. I don't think I'd do it in winter!

At least the window is done now , we had the same with the drive and DD with her conservatory roof ,
Your right it's been a normal summer heat today , much easier to move around isn't it.

Lizzie
Good old internet you can find a solution for everything can't you 😁
Saved you money as well that's a bonus.

Daisy
My DD takes Storm out very early but in the winter SIL does the early morning walk.
DD likes to go out early then sit in the garden with her tea and toast before starting work.
Eva knows what she wants doesn't she 😁

We went to Dalton park this afternoon and to the Sketchers shop ,
B got two pairs of nice trainers and I got a pair of slip on trainers and some nice comfy sandles,

We then went looking at new front doors,
I think we have decided on one but don't want to rush into it,
SIL then popped in with the lad who works for him for a quick cup of tea between jobs ,
They had a carpet to fit in the next village.

Yesterday part of my gifts from DD was a lovely set of three reed diffusers with highland cows on from next.
I opened one this morning and put the reeds in , it smelt very strong ,
I started to get a headache and when I looked it was Lilly & Jasmine,
The Jasmine is ok but I'm allergic to the smell of lilies.

I don't want to tell DD as she put thought into my gifts , so I had to pour them out clean the bottles and I will find a oil that I'm ok with and fill them with that so she is none the wiser 😁

Oma, I thought about Storm during those very hot days last week, thinking he must hate it. Eva had her cool coat on all day and if definitely helped, but it was still hot for her.

What apity about the reed diffusers. It's funny how some scents affect us. I get a headache from Gardenia scents.
