Having not been well last week, I spent the weekend getting my jobs done as I had got behind with them.  I took it very slowly as whatever I have had has managed to knock me a little sideways! I have been working at my desk on Monday and yesterday I was with Eldest at his business.

I think Mother Nature has decided we in the UK have had enough of summer and it has been today like the above picture all day!  On Saturday we had thunderstorms which lasted for about two hours.  Fortunately Coco and Blaze were not bothered by the storm, Coco just barked at the thunder and Blaze was asleep on a chair all the while it was happening.  I had managed to get dinner cooked just in case the power went out, which it does sometimes when we have a storm, but fortunately the power stayed on.  DH had two busy days with the swimming event and didn’t get home until 8.30pm last night but it went well as always.

This week is a quiet week with work and home things and Youngest & Girlfriend are away for the week on holiday so it is just DH, the animals and I, which will be nice.  I have lots of plans of things I need to get done, but am taking things each day at a time as I am quite tired after being not well.  I do have another Doctor’s appointment next week for a check up, so will see what they say then.

The trees are starting to turn quickly now.

Next weekend DH has the last swimming event for Area on Saturday and Sunday we can get some garden jobs done if the weather is okay.  You will not believe how many leaves have come down this weekend.  We managed to get the outside umbrella put away but need to get the outdoor furniture cleaned and put away and tidy the pots up and I also want to get some Spring bulbs planted too. 

Next week is Goose Fair in Nottingham, where DH and I had our first date 38 years ago, now that sounds a long time ago!!!  I wrote about the History of Goose Fair in this post in 2023 if you would like to read about it.

Half way through the week! 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
