falls mainly in Lincoln
It’s raining in the shire. A nice gentle summer rain. The conservatory doors are open to the garden.
Breakfast was an extremely tasty toast and marmalade with a glass (bottle) of milk. Toast is best made with bread that isn’t too fresh. This was a white loaf purchased from Tesco on Wednesday for the purposes of sandwiches to take to Wimbledon on Thursday. The marmalade was vintage Seville orange made by yours truly a few years ago in such a large batch that we still haven’t finished it.
I also put it in kilner jars that are too large. We don’t consume much marmalade anyway. Just thought it was a good idea at the time, which it was.
Today I was going to Magnum Motorhomes in Grimsby to buy the campervan fridge. However I am not quite ready for it. The fitting isn’t going to be straightforward and I am going to take my time over it. There is still a chance it can get done before we head to Latitude on Thursday but it isn’t a banker.
The garden is still looking very green and the borders quite colourful. We have had a lot of rain this year, or at least that’s how it feels. Bring back the hosepipe bans eh? Would at least mean that we had had a bout of fine weather.
Don’t get me wrong. We do get nice days. Just not enough of them. It isn’t enough to make me want to go and live abroad mind you. I like this country, despite some of the people that live here. They probably have the same types everywhere you go.
Today I do have a jobslist:
Put up blind in playroom (no longer a playroom – more a gym)
Bathroom sealant – around bath
Check oil and water in Micra for Joe’s trip to Brownstock Festival tomorrow (The Pylons are playing the main stage)
Build trapdoor cover for attic
Look for solar light (no idea)
Fill out student finance forms
Tidy Conservatory
Some of it will get done and it will all definitely be done before the summer is out.
The rain has got heavier. V relaxing.
Today we also say goodbye to an old friend – a pair of shorts that have served me well but which now have a broken zip. Broke whilst at Wimbledon. Don’t think anyone noticed 😉 I have others but I am planning a short trip to TK Max with my style guru Hannah so may pick something up there. I wouldn’t specifically make a trip to TK Max but Hannah wants to go anyway and we need to pick Jose up from the station at around 1pm so it suits. Also have two parcels to pick up from the post office. They are all in the same vicinity ish. Anne would approve.
More in due course – the day is young…
…
The rain still cometh and Hansk and I are off out. I’ve tidied the conservatory, found the lights and sorted the micra which needed nothing doing to it. Spot of sushi from Morrissons for lunch eaten in the car whilst waiting for Jose to turn up from Storth.
Joe duly picked up and now off at a Pylons rehearsal. Also ticked another job off the jobslist – hatch cover for attic. Suspect that’ll be it for the day. Bbq moved back into place ready for the sausages and burgers later.
