We had an area just outside the sunroom doors that Stew had filled with stones, when we put the pool in.
I hated those stones! They kept getting into the lawn, and hurt underfoot.
So I asked Stew to take them out and put some concrete there.
He finally did it yesterday:
ABOVE: When he was finished, I put 3 shells in the very corner.
Then SBBs arrived for a swim. So I showed the boys, and explained why they could not stand on it, as it was not set yet.
Then I went to get in me togs. And left the door open...
Today? Hit repeat. Hang at home. Swim. Eat. Relax. Repeat.
Perfect summer.
1.06 pm. We went for a drive... then walk. On way home now. Update later.
We drove around and around in circles for about half an hour before we finally got somewhere to park.
We were actually about to give up, so luckily we did find a park not too far from the base of the Mount.
We walked the base of the Mount.
But we enjoyed it. The scenery is stunning, and the sea was rough with lots of lovely crashing waves.
I wanted to just jump in, but Stew wouldn't let me.
Spoiltsport.
They are utterly gorgeous and feel so lovely to hold.
The other little ones? Just liked them. lol
(well ... SBB's had brought it inside for us).
It's from an anonymous FBG friend. Part of our BINGO CHALLENGE. Do a random act of kindness for a fellow FBG'er.
I didn't expect anything being I don't live in Cambridge anymore.
So I really appreciated that someone took the time to do that for me.
( Thank You C 😊 )
It is now 5.15 pm and the day is still blisteringly hot... might not bother cooking anything for dinner just yet.
9.35 pm: Didn't cook. Had KFC. Lazy tart.
But just too hot and tired to cook.
Heading off to bed early. Catch ya tomorrow.
10 pm: Stew was closing the windows at 9.45 pm and saw something weird in the sky. A long 'string' of light, going across the sky from West to East. It was only visible for about 2 minutes, then it was gone off to the East out of our sight.
Did anyone else see it? Anyone know what it was?
lol on the dog prints, kind of cute :)
ReplyDeletePerfect pawprints!!!!! Love it....

ReplyDeleteFor some reason dogs love to walk in wet cement, maybe because it feels warm to their feet. In the past I worked for a blind woman who had the smartest seeing eye dog. It had saved her life one time by knocking her out of the way of a car that was backing up and the driver hadn't seen her behind the car. She fell down, but was not run over. The dog was so intelligent and well behaved, as Seeing Eye Dogs are known to be. But one time some workmen had poured a rather large cement repair on the side walk in front of the building where we worked. I don't know why the workmen left it without a plastic banner around it, but they did. When the woman I worked for and her Seeing Eye Dog came to work that day her Seeing Eye Dog had taken her right across the newly poured wet cement. Then she had to train her dog not to do that again. Apparently, her dog had never been taught about wet cement.
