Feeling Better


 Negative test 2 days ago so I'm finally over it. OH did a test too but he's still coming up positive. I'm still coughing quite a lot but my energy is starting to return. Trying to catch up on the housework each day and went for a dog walk with OH. First time I've been out for 2 weeks as just haven't had the energy. Caught up on the washing (as it was overflowing lol) and most of the ironing is now done. OH has been driving to a field and just throwing balls for the dogs, so not near any other people. Says he feels very tired all the time, same as me, and he's also got brain fog. It comes and goes now so not constant anymore. 

Have missed a relatives birthday meal with the family due to covid which was a shame. Would love to visit my friend too but won't go until we're both negative as I don't want to give her this virus. 

Can't believe what's on the news with a 15yr old stabbing a teacher! One of my adult children is a teacher so it really brought it home to me. Nobody deserves to be attacked at work. I hope he gets secured for a very long time if found guilty. Thankfully the teacher is out of hospital and recovering well. Can't ever imagine that happening when I was at school as it was very much stricter than it is now. We also had the cane for serious bad behaviour. It seems a lot of our schools now don't suspend pupils unless they are persistently uncontrollable and to get expelled is very rare. Not sure if this is a good thing really. I'm more in favour of clamping down at the start rather than letting it escalate. Nip it in the bud.

Bye for now All the best

An Update

Image
 Well I went to the market in town which was lovely to look around. OH had a stall with others promoting the U3A. This is a club for people who are retired and over 50. OH has been playing Badminton, Bouls, Shooting at targets, visiting various Mansion houses and Gardens like the brochure and playing Chess. It did rain on and off but he was under the big tent there. I looked around but didn't buy anything as prices were high eg £5 for a pancake! The cleaning routine has been put on hold this week as,  apart from stripping the bed and doing 2 loads of washing I've been in quite a lot of pain from the tooth extraction so decided to rest. Feeling better today so hopefully it will continue healing now. Son did the vacuuming for me which was a big help. Managed to sell some china and clothes on ebay and send it all but thats about it.                                          ...

The Dog Show

          1st Prize for the Waggiest Tail We decided to enter the dogs in the Dawlish Carnival Dog Show just for fun. Ava, our granddaughter, and our daughter were staying with us so Ava was delighted to take one of the dogs in the ring. She was closely followed by OH holding our other dog. Molly won the waggiest tail, coming first and was rewarded with a rosette and cone of dog biscuits. Her tail does wag constantly and at least twice the speed of other dogs lol. Nice afternoon there and thankfully the weather stayed dry for the day. Ava had a go on the bouncy castle and Mark won her a soft toy penguin on the rifle range. Managed to get the washing dry on the line today as tomorrow's forecast is heavy rain and thunder storms. It really seems like Autumn rather than August atm. The Carnival parade is tomorrow but we won't be going to that due to the weather. Bye for now All the best x

Busy times and what a Bargain

Image
Ready for family visiting   Went back to my friend's home last week and OH sorted out the base for the greenhouse. He used to work as a buildings manager/builder so knew how to do it properly. Will probably go again in a few weeks when all visiting family leave. ATM we have son here for a fortnight and daughter, granddaughter and eldest son coming for next weekend! Quite a houseful really. I went to a car boot sale last weekend and bought 2 brand new, sealed in packet Dorma duvet covers and matching pillow cases. Can't believe the price only £13 for all of it. Has to be my bargain of the year. Also bought a pretty M&S top for me for £1 and a small football game table for the grandchildren.  OH bought a concrete Dragon garden ornament, another plant and a plant pot.  We also drove to Dawlish last week as they had an event on the lawns there with music and various drink and food stalls. OH enjoyed testing the different beers lol. I'm not Tea- Total but don't drink ...
