Washing getting wetter lol

 I've bought a few nice tops from Ebay as I'm going to a posh hotel in London for afternoon tea next month. It was a Xmas present from one of my adult children. I always prepare things well in advance lol. Decided to hand wash them as they have decorations sewn around the neckline so wouldn't survive the spin cycle. Put them on the line as there was a nice light breeze blowing so wouldn't take long to drip dry. And then it poured with rain! Well they can stay there as they're soaking wet anyway! 

Must stop watching the news as its so depressing atm. What with Trump trying to bankrupt Canada and just wiping shares off his own country, plus the 2 ships that collided, and Russia still at war with Ukraine there's no good news around at all. One of my children never watches TV or the news and never has. They hear bits at work when colleagues discuss it so stay reasonably up to date.

Had a bad night last night. I was up 3 times coughing despite taking an allergy pill earlier. I'm allergic to dogs and dust, and so far, the basic shop tablets have worked well to control it. My DIL and daughter are both allergic to animals, too. Also, I can't wear any animal wool products like cashmere, alpaca, wool, etc. I think it might be time soon to see the GP for something stronger.

Bye for now All the best x

    Oh dear, isn't it annoying when it rains on the washing?! My hayfever is making my eyes and nose stream constantly. Lots more allergies and intolerances nowadays, they hardly used to be heard of years ago!

    I was never allergic to dogs until I had spaniels. Had a dog all my life and even used to nap with one on the sofa when I finished a nightshift.

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 ...

A Day in Dartmouth

Image
 We decided to go to Dartmouth today as I'd read an article online saying how nice it was, and how it resembled Greece. Mark came with us as he's not going home until this evening. I have been to Corfu and Kos but not mainland Greece yet. It was quite a long drive from where we live - over an hour- but well worth it. The harbour is very pretty with all the boats, and there is a lovely little park with a fountain. Numerous benches are everywhere along the water's edge and in the park, so it's nice to sit and enjoy the view. There's some big brand shops close by in the shopping area eg Cotton Traders, Sea Salt, Mountain Warehouse etc and also several Art Shops selling paintings mainly of sea scenes. I also saw 2 book shops selling second hand books, so book lovers well catered for there.There are a few charity shops but they seemed quite small, and mainly stock bone china (think Royal Doltone, Wedgewood) ornaments, and kitchen items. Some clothing and footwear was on ...

It's arrived!

Image
 I spent yesterday catching up on the washing and washed the floor ready for the sofa delivery. It was very empty in here with the only armchair left put in the conservatory, along with everything else OH had dumped in there. Manage to do a few rows of knitting, at least I've started it now after several months of it being in the cupboard.  Sofa and chair arrived this afternoon so spent an hour helping OH unpack and deciding how to arrange it. It's a bit larger than our old suite and reclines, so needs to be away from the wall quite a bit. A lot firmer too as the old one's springs were giving way. Excuse the orchids OH thinks we live in a florists lol It does look quite nice I must admit but it's much more tidy than usual! Trying to keep the dogs off will be a work of art. We do have velour blankets to put on which should protect it for a while. OH has insisted on keeping his old  rickety, scratched table for now. I suppose it gives it a homely look lol. The old faithfu...
