Not my home lol

 Came home last Wednesday and the motorway was clear which makes a change. Set the satnav to home but it had magically moved my home address to the centre of Exeter!! Actually, very near to the climbing wall activity center where Ava went when she stayed with us!! As OH used his own satnav and not mine I can only presume Ava changed it when she was playing a game on my phone!! Half an hour detour around busy traffic in Exeter with lots of one way roads. Note to self supervise Ava when she plays on my phone lol.

Molly dog went to the groomers yesterday as her fur was very uneven and woolley. OH had tried to cut it with clippers resulting in a hedgehog cut - up down up down lol. Our other spaniel has straight thick hair so only needs a trim once a year as OH trims her feet. They shed hair all year round so I'm really glad I have a robot vacuum to keep up with it.

Tonight I decided to clean out the under sink cupboard and discovered a slight water leak. It's coming from the boiler again so will have to ring the gas engineer in the morning. Will be the second time this year it's started leaking. It's old so we should probably be replacing it - might ask the engineer how much it would be when I ring him. 

OH had his covid jab yesterday so he's not feeling well today. He spent the afternoon in bed, got up for tea then back to bed at 8.30. I'm not having any more due to really bad side effects after each one. I've had 3 altogether, and lost consciousness after each one, plus other severe symptoms. OH has been fine with his though - just really tired and achey. The way I see it I have more chance of dying from falling unconscious in the road or while driving than I do of dying from covid, which I've already recovered from once. Plus, I could end up with a broken leg or hip when I land on the ground. So I've decided not to have anymore. I've never fainted in my life before or since so I'm convinced it was a result of the vaccine as exactly 3 days after each time. The first 2 were AZ so I took a chance with the 3rd as it was Pfizer but same thing happened. I suppose they don't suit everyone and don't suit me.

Bye for now All the best x

An Update

 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.                                          ...

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 ...

The Dog Show

Image
          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
