So, this is summer!
The boot sales we went to this morning were not really very exciting.
The three of us bought things - but not as much as we would have liked.
But there was opportunity for some gossiping with friends.
We think the number of stall holders might have been down for a couple of reasons. First it was Father's Day - do people really set that aside? I suppose they must.
But also today was the day of the charity bike ride from London to Brighton when over 30,000 cyclists make their way southwards, making it nigh on impossible for people to travel east west across their route.
The remainder of the day has been mostly restful for us all.
Bill has watched the British Grand Prix.
I watch the first and last lap with him and he can then doze in peace in between!
I described 6 things for EBay and got them listed.
I then wrote up my collection of purchases from the morning whilst the second day of the European Team championships was on - with some of the daft European rules to spice the event up for TV.
GB did well to come 3rd. Well done lads and lasses!
We were in 4th place before the last event and we had to beat the French by at least 2 places to move up into 3rd place. The 4 x 400 metre relay team are renowned for doing well and they brought home the baton in 1st place leaving the French in a distant 5th place.
We have one more evening with Ashley - he returns to Bangor tomorrow morning. He will be back in 5 weeks with Ekatarina.
We will all be scurrying round in the morning getting breakfast and sorting out our lunches too. Bill and I will be at the shop and Ashley will want some food with him for the journey.
We are all thinking that George cat seems to be behaving much more normally again. Maybe he will begin to put some weight back on - but we will know more after blood tests in 3 week's time. This week it is Bill's turn for a blood test. And I must phone about my next B12 injection.
Hope my family and friends have had a good weekend. Such a shame for the Solstice enthusiasts that there was cloud at sunrise at Stonehenge this morning at 4.45 am.
