Took the dog for a walk this morning, cool (21°) but warmer than the last few days, sunny all day.
About 2pm they all arrived from Sydney to reclaim the dog, after an hour peace and quiet returned and I was left alone again.
Jobs to do.
Have a good one.

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone,

Have a fun day.

Morning all,
We’ll be making Catalan Honey Cake, this recipe calls for a considerable amount of olive oil, it produces a batter rather than the usual type of cake mix.
It really tastes good but this time we’ll be adding a liberal helping of lemon zest to counter the oiliness and add a little zing.
I certainly won’t be slapping on the Nivea and soaking up the rays…no chance!
Enjoy!

Hello there!
It is quiet in our home at the moment, and I am reflecting on my goals and how side tracked they have been over the last few months.
I am still doing well with the exercise and training; down a few more pounds and moving everyday to the tune of 8-10k steps (about 15k on average this week). With regards to school, the Met Office has issued a red alert but our school - as per the guidance of our DfE - will remain open. It will be an interesting few days during our last week of term when half the students stay home.
Nonetheless, the reason for the reflection - I am currently studying part time while working full time, and I am feeling the fear of the thesis looming over me and the lack of work I have directed towards my studies.
I could create a new chat/discussion thread, but here is just fine for my needs right now.
I have the new school year looming and I can see that I will need to make some changes with the amount of work I am doing and probably reduce my days to complete my studies and finish on time.
Lots of thinking to do.
I will be doing an early morning shop and then will not leave my home for the duration of the day. Have lentils, potatoes/rice, veg and salad for lunch and a lemon cake all ready to be consumed throughout the day.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi
Good Morning All.
Not the best of nights, I have the dreaded stomach bug which is doing the rounds again.
Definitely hibernating for the next few days.
Enjoy the sun and your BBQS.

Good morning everyone 
a lovely day here not too hot at the moment.
I was up at 5:30, showered, hair washed , work done I am waiting for my neighbours son to come and fit an outside tap. With my health problems I can no longer lift buckets of water to water the garden. Just hoping he does an ok job, he is a plumber but that is no guarantee.
Then a day of looking at mobile phones, I need a better one with Wifi because I am going to lose my landline when I have fibre broadband installed . I can no longer cope with .3 mbps and fibre is now £10 a month cheaper.

Morning all!
Temp is heating up again. I just realized that heat here is different than heat in the UK. 31 degrees C is nice weather for here.
I’ve been watching bits and pieces of the 24 hour masterclass. It’s been good. Still several hours left of it.
I hope to be talking to my favorite person on the phone again tomorrow. It was nice to be talking today. Had lots to catch up on.
Have a magnificent day everyone.
Just got to say susi j,s church photo looks lovely
