UP AND DOWN

 

Last night I went to bed feeling quite 'off'.  I tossed and turned all night long.

A couple of reasons... not being mentioned on here or elsewhere.  AND my tummy reacted to the upset, so I'm actually not feeling very well right now.

When/if I feel better later on, I will come back and have an update on today's plans.  Which might not be much.

OMG... I just remembered something!

I bought a pottery item from Tony Sly in Raglan a couple of weeks ago, and vowed to NOT unwrap it until I hit my 'magic number'!  And I hit that number last Monday, but the pottery is still sitting in my wardrobe, unwrapped.

I shall unwrap it when I get up.  *yaaa*  There WILL be a photo on the blog today.  😂😊

ONWARD...

9.15 am.   I still have a tummy ache/headache.  Not a fun way to start the day but at least I'm not worse.

I finally got the 'thing' out of the wardrobe...

ABOVE: An utterly gorgeous shallow bowl in one of my favourite colours.  Tony Sly doesn't do this colour very often, so I just had to get another piece.

ABOVE:  I knew it would look perfect on this trolly, with my runner under it, which has that colour in it.   I will be using it for food when we have Christmas Dinners etc.  Otherwise it will just sit there and look beautiful.

Do you like it?  

p.s.  this was my 'reward' for getting to my FIRST GOAL.  The ultimate goal is another 9 kilos away.  Then I just have to learn to maintain it.

I had a bright idea, to go for a walk.  It was a bit HOT

ABOVE:  By the time we got home I was dripping in sweat.  Time for a shower.

ABOVE:  We went in a different direction along the river today.   Heading north ... it was nice to see different areas along the river.

ABOVE: This weekend there has been some sort of speed boat event on the river, so we've been hearing them race up and down all weekend.  Doesn't bother us in the least.

Right, I'm off to get less sweaty...
.

After my shower I made our lunch, then our granddaughter Emily came over.  I met her at the top of 'the hill' as she had jumped on a bus.

We spent a delightful couple of hours with her.

I had found a really neat denim jacket for her in our Recycle Room here in the village:

ABOVE: she absolutely LOVED it!  I also had a couple of other tops for her too. 

Then I had a bright idea, I'd take her down to the Recycle Room so she could have a look for herself.

ABOVE: That was a brilliant idea, she found about 5 tops, a sweatshirt and some cool boots that she literally drooled all over!

ABOVE: Me and Emily.  And I was in about my third change of clothes for the day!  I started out in winter clothes, then into walking clothes, then back into tights and a jumper, and now?  It's so hot I'm in a summer dress.  This weather is a pain in the arse.

Stew has now taken Emily home, and will stop into the pub for an hour or so. I'll walk up a bit later on and bring him and the vehicle home again.

I do believe that will be my third time going up 'the hill' today!  The neighbours will be wondering what the hell I'm doing.  😂😊

8.30 pm.  I didn't need to pick Stew up after all.  He only stayed at the pub for a couple of beers, then came home.  

Since then we have just had a nice, restful few hours in front of the telly.

I'm feeling really knackered for some reason,so an early night will be on the cards.

Catch ya tomorrow.
