Was there a song with those words?  Who knows!!!  It has been a hectic work day again. 

I have fallen back into the habit of waking up several times at night again!!!!  I had managed to get out of it and now it is happening again and who knows why!!!  Counting sheep does not help!

Treacle is feeling sorry for herself again today as I think she has tweaked her leg again!  It is either that or as it is cold it is aching!!  She was fine this morning but by this afternoon she is wandering around with a woe is me look on her face.  I am sure a good rest will help out!!!!

Eldest is out at Fiancé’s tonight for dinner so it is just DH and I in this evening.  Tomorrow will be busy again with work and it is going to be raining again all day!!!!  I really hope it is going to be warm and sunny soon!!!

I hope you all are having a good Tuesday!

I never did like that song!!!!  It has, however, been a typical Monday!!!!

I have been at my desk all day getting work done and as I finished one lot another load came in!!!!  Hey ho.

Today is National Fried Chicken Day!  Who knew?!!!!  However they won’t be having this for dinner tonight!!  DH has yet another zoom meeting for swimming tonight and Eldest is on a late evening tonight so it will be something which can be re-heated when they get back and have finished!!! 

Despite it being July the last few days have been cool but supposedly by the end of the week it should be getting warm again!!!  There are a few jobs we need to do in the garden again and need some dry, fine days to do them!

As of today it looks like we will be able to get up to The Highlands in August for our vacation, of course that could all change between now and then so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!  The only thing we may have to avoid are a certain set of people who are patrolling the border between Scotland and England stopping people travelling into Scotland!!!!!  Oh good grief Charlie Brown!!!  It really is too bad when you have to sneak across the border to go on holiday!!!!!  🙂

It really is a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!!!!

I am off now to get dinner which is going to be a movable feast and also try and get some nice jobs done as well, before we start the whole thing again tomorrow!!!

I hope you are having a good Monday and will have a great week.

Our wonderful Hairdresser, Rachel, came today for our haircuts and my colour!!!!  It is a relief to get it done.   There have been lots of articles in the paper/magazines etc about “Embracing your Grey”, ha, what a load of crock!!!  I know there are some ladies out there whose grey hair is very pretty but mine is coming in as iron grey and I hate it!!!  So I won’t be embracing it one iota!!!!   Here are some pictures for a laugh!!!!

This is the length it got to after a trim at the beginning of February. The right hand picture shows how much grey had come through!

An all over trim and my layers put back in.  On the right, grey gone, yeah!!!!

DH and The Boys are all cut and tidy now.  DH was getting to look like Einstein with the wild hair!!!!

It is going to be a busy week, work wise, and I have not got around to doing any of my nice jobs although I will have plenty of time as things are still being cancelled!  One of my Birthday presents from Youngest and Girlfriend was to go to the Horse of the Year Show with them in October which has been cancelled.  The Nottingham Beach, above, which is usually on all summer and opens just after the children break up from school (!) is not happening this year.  Of course there is some doubt now about Goose Fair at the beginning of October.  I think everyone just has to take each week as it comes!!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Well we made it to Friday this week, it has been one of those weeks!!!  I got house jobs done today and the grocery shopping and last night did a big basket of ironing.  The weather has turned again and it is cool and rainy here!!!  I just wish we could have some settled weather with it being warm and sunny and not too hot!!!

One good thing about the weekend is that I am having my hair cut and done on Sunday!!!  The first day that our hairdresser is able to work!!!  So I won’t look like the picture above every morning!!!  DH is also having his hair cut, I won’t scare you with a picture of how long his hair is at the moment, and the Boys are having theirs tidied up!!!!

If the weather co-operates we are still trying to get to stain the shed, den and outdoor furniture but the previous weekends have not been good enough to do that job. 

We are not having much success with getting the swimmers back in the pools, despite all the meetings we are having!!!!  It all comes down to the actual pool operators and they do not seem keen at the moment to open!!!!  However the very keen parents seem to have all bought a particular brand of outdoor, above ground pool with tethers to keep the kids swimming.  I think I should have bought shares in that company as lockdown happened.  One thing for sure I am sure they will have had a good quarter!!!!!!

Still more events are being cancelled, despite things being eased a little which I suppose this year is no surprise.  We are now looking at events in September, October, November and December and wondering whether they will be able to happen or just to cancel them now!!! 

We are still booked to go up to The Highlands in August for two weeks but that is still not definite.  In fact they were saying earlier in the week that if they get rid of the virus in Scotland they “may” insist on anyone travelling from England to quarantine for two weeks!!!!!!!  As you can imagine there has been uproar about that especially as a lot of Scotland relies on the tourism industry!!!  So we are just waiting to see what happens.  At this stage nothing surprises me!!!

I hope you lovely lot have a Wonderful Weekend whatever you are up to and I will see you all on Monday.
