I’m alternating between the Tour de France and the Mens Final - don’t know what I’ll be watching this evening but it won’t be “you know what”. Don’t know why but I’m feeling eally chilly, cardigan on already! Think I’ll go and make a cup of tea to warm me up.
Hope Jac is OK, she hasn’t posted for ages.
I,m keeping up with your news Sue xxx But I do feel horrible and not much news .
Laura was contracted yesterday by track and trace . She has to isolate and have a test later . She hasnt had the vac so a bit of a worry .I was surprised that she wasnt told where she had been in contact
Keep safe xxx
Nice to see you Jac!Hope you’ll be feeling better soon.
No tennis to watch so I have no excuse to sit down in the afternoons.
Been gardening in between showers,there was a downpour when I took the bins out earlier.
I knew the result of the football at 3 this morning when I checked my phone.Good on Italy,mind you you’d think the other side had won with all the coverage on tv this morning!
Hi there. Laura’s Covid test was neg but she still has to take 10 days off work without pay . It seems really unfair.
Pleasant day today ,it was like winter yesterday
Keep safe xxx
Glad to hear from you Jac - I am a worry wart when you don’t post!
We had a monsoon yesterday afternoon, but luckily I’d got the washing in before it started. DIL just came to pick up grandson and said that although she drove through the rain on the way home, when she got to their home (a mile the other side of the village) it was dry! She and Micky have been to Whitland today to buy calves - expensive day out.
Well there’s no tennis but the Tour de France is still on, so something to watch. Did you see the first episode of "Lie with Me"yesterday? I liked it.
Lovely sunny morning.
Have a nice day ahead today-going to meet a friend in a village park where we used to play as children.We used to take jam sandwiches and water for picnics,think it’ll be a bit more upmarket today!
Hi there.
I wasnt keen on Lie with Me 's first episode but I’ve stayed with it and enjoyed last nights
Changeable day ,some nice sunshine but clouding over at times.
Just going to put a duck leg and duck spring rolls in for later . I’ve been getting from Tesco every week and enjoy

Had a lovely day with friend yesterday.Today son no1 took me to Usk Reservoir.He’s got a new small camper van and wanted to show it off-he cooked steak and mushrooms for our lunch overlooking the water.I’ve done well-two nice outings in two days,can’t complain!
Gosh two outings and a steak and mushroom lunch - you’re living the dream Rhosyn. Big expedition today. Went to Leominster Morrisons to shop. Had a coffee afterwards and filled the car up and on the way home bought the yearly treat of cherries. Yum!
DIL came to pick up grandson with the news that Covid is rife in Hay on Wye. Sounds like the direct result of someone whose child was sent home from school with symptoms went to the pub to watch the football before getting positive test results. What is the matter with these people?
Hello
There was a massive increase in Track and trace last week and the Nurse that Laura saw To have a Covid test said she and lots of others were deleting their APP because they really couldnt self isolate every time they got a ping . She gets a phone call every day to check she is at home and her employer Boots had a letter to make sure she wasnt working
Keep safe xxx Lovely sunny one xxx
Phew, glad to come into the front room to cool off. Not sure what the temperature is out there, but I’m melting.
Turned on the TV to watch the Tour de France but what’s on now is a repeat of yesterday’s stage in the mountains.
This track and trace app is turning into a bit of a farce isn’t it? It’s OK for us retirees to isolate but difficult if you are working.
Another scorcher today.I used to be able to sit out in the sun for ages but can only stick it out for about 10 mts these days,would be different if there was a pool in the garden!
Feel so sorry for those people in Germany such devastation.
Keep cool and safe.
The whole worlds weather has gone crazy,its scary
Its lovely here and I was up at 6am and there were people in swimming and paddle boarding
Have a good one and stay safe xxx
I’m in the front room to cool down, having sat (under parasol) on the patio to read the paper.
The main road was busy when I went down for the paper but it’s pretty quiet up here. The silaging crew went by as I was making my bed yesterday morning, Dad in the forage harvester, workman in the next tractor with trailer and grandson bringing up the rear in another. Didn’t see them come home so they must be still at it somewhere!
I’m cowering in the front room again - too hot to sit and sew at the back. Tour de France is on in a minute - the finish in Paris. We had the Tour de Wales come through Painscastle yesterday (actually it was called Wales in a Day), but I couldn’t find out what time they were getting to us and wasn’t prepared to sit in the village all afternoon so didn’t get to see them. Fancy riding a bike in this heat!
Another scorcher today.I like the sun but not when it’s too hot-never satisfied weather wise are we?!
Put a paddling pool out for the dog on Saturday,he’s put one paw in,seems to think it’s a big drinking bowl!
Bet the beach is busier now with the children off school- Jac.
Keep cool.
I had a laugh at the dog putting one paw in the pool!
Trying to contact the Leisure Centre in Brecon to take grandson and friend swimming tomorrow. I’m not sure whether you have to book and don’t fancy driving all that way to be turned away at the door with two disappointed small boys. They won’t answer the phone so I’ve sent an email message, watch this space.
Another scorcher,lots of kids on the beach since really early.I never thought it would be too hot for me but I suffered yesterday.
Be safe and enjoy xxx
Had the small grandson again today. Went to the Surgery for Rob’s meds and the garage for an icecream. That was the extent of the travels for today. Talking to my DIL when she came to collect him, she seems to think people are panic buying again (because of the shortage of staff in shops and lorry drivers to deliver the goods). We were planning to do a tea for pilgrims to Church on Sunday afternoon, so I’ll have to go and see what I can find tomorrow. Think I’ll try and go out as early as poss to try and avoid the heat.
My chrome book has been playing silly beggers-wouldn’t let me log in,password not valid then a lot of jargon.Son no1 took it away on Weds to sort it out brought it back today-working ok now.He couldn’t make put what the problem was,if it happens again I might have to fork out for a new one.
Great grandson is 3 on Sunday,plans to have a bouncy castle in garden for his party tomorrow has been brought forward to today because weather not good for tomorrow.I’ll go to see them in the morning.
It’ll do the garden good to have some rain.
