Good morning Sunday 17/07/2022

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!

An easy day here, just preparing and pickling shallots and nothing else planned.

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 :smiley: 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

Sham poo?
Our dog has real poo!

Afternoon all.

Having a lazy day, keeping away from that sun. Went back to bed again about 10.30am, for about 1.5 hrs. Now got my lunch on, roasties, and a meat loaf. Don’t like eating big meals in the evening.

Holly is still on my bed, she has had nasty poo last night and this morning, and at about 12 noon I managed to get some probiotic paste into her (in doggy milk). I had asked a nearby lady for some tree barks powder as she is a stockist, but am awaiting a further response.

Jazzi, you can always get it from Dorwest Herbs if it’s any help, they are very helpful. I have always used their herbal dog shampoos too.

Good morning all. :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed:

Thanks Primus1 :smiley:

@Kazz Hi Kazz :slightly_smiling_face: Chloe is not enjoying it at all but has a fan ,cold towel and bed under the stairs to help her cope.

We have just got back from a late walk which she loves with the added excitement of encountering a baby hedgehog .
