Training bjj this morning then take the kids swimming then quiet afternoon at home, roast pork lunch and early night ready for school tomorrow
I was there last week but I didn’t get that sunshine sadly
Having my appendix removed. Quite sudden and not the weekend I expected to have but there you are
Work today, first day back after 3 off. Husband got drunk with his friends yesterday, so I’m pleased I’m out of the way as Im predicting he’s going to feel delicate and mopey. I have a pleasant day of work with some podcasts and a nice sourdough peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch. Im planning to make homemade salt and pepper chicken with egg fried rice tonight, I hope it’s as nice as the first time I made it. I think it’s the last episode of Mobland tonight, really looking forward to that too.
Woke up at 4am on purpose as have to be up at 2am tomorrow to drive to the airport at 3am. I’ve nearly nodded off a few times already but think I’m at the point now where I’m properly awake! Planning to be back asleep at 8pm tonight to get a few good hours sleep in before our very early start to go to Spain.
Dropping my lovely cat off at the cattery at 9, going bouldering, watching F1 (and manifesting that I’ll see Charles and Lewis when we go to Ferrari Land seeing as they’re in Spain anyway!), finishing packing and getting a takeaway pizza for dinner to round it all off.
Drinking coffee and Red Bull because my son who’s autistic doesn’t sleep. Happy Sunday
Having my morning coffee- planning on preparing a roast for my fiancé. Lamb is their favourite. Might treat them
Surviving! This half term has been hard. We’ve got a 9 year old that’s around 2 years old developmentally. It’s been a screamy week.
We’re going to Collectormania in Milton Keynes. I’ve been twice before a long time ago. First time i went I met Elijah Wood! Teenage me was swooning.
Hoping that my hayfever isn’t as bad today. Yesterday was awful, could barely go outside without my eyes itching and nose running.
Currently in Menorca, having landed yesterday. Will mostly be exploring the island and eating/drinking too much.
Is that Dovedale?
Long walk with the dog, several loads of washing, a bit of light gardening, reading my book in my hammock, and making chicken pie for tea.
Sponsored bike ride, wish me luck!
Load of washing to be done.
Clear the leaves on shed’s roof and cut branches above it if possible.
Maybe walk to town to do shopping.
Rest as much as I can.
Allotment! Planting out my courgette and cucumber seedlings (the courgette seedlings are a bit sad but I’m hoping they recover once they’re in the ground)
Bit of cleaning today, possibly try and gut the freezers as there’s a turkey in there and all sorts filling them up uselessly.
We might go test drive a car but I know that’ll make me want one and we can’t for another year or so cos my current car will be in NE if we tried to trade in. That makes me sad.
As little as possible
Thanks for asking!
I’ll be going for my Sunday long run, first one since I raced a half marathon at the end of April. Time to get back on it.
After that, there is a Grand Prix to watch, and the midland air show isn’t far from us so we might find a country lane to watch the red arrows. ✈️
Catching up on sleep because the dog decided 3 am was playtime
I need to drag myself home from the boyfriends house and so some laundry and pack
Thrilling
forced myself into the gym this morning and now i’m here, it’s absolutely fine. as always!
we’ve got someone doing a patio for us at the moment so my day will be peppered with me asking if anyone wants a cup of tea. hoping to get out to the shops to return a couple of things, maybe have a nandos!
Going to UK Games Expi at the NEC. Spending money! Playing games! Trying not to interact with too many people !
Not slept. Not been to the gym in over a week but really want to go today. Trying to get out of bed and get there.
Hopefully get the garden renovation finished (its taken so long 😩) Washing,ironing, Grand Prix also.
Take my Son to Hockey training, go for a run, do a food shop, cleaning and then take the boys to a skatepark later this afternoon.
Big breakfast then heading off to Barry Island for a walk about and hopefully some chips too!
Take all the garden rubbish to the tip. Urgh. One of the bags is astounding heavy because of the stumps or several bushes, I’m not looking forward to getting it in and out of the car…
Sit by the pond i drained and cleaned yesterday if the sun gets out. Craft a peanut chicken traybake my wife saw Nadiya make yesterday on Saturday Morning Kitchen. Then a 4 hour drive in a nice cupra the hire car people dropped off for me yesterday ready for a meeting tomorrow.
As the kids and I are back to school tomorrow, a gentle day where we will make sure we are all set up. I’m thinking this morning I’ll pack lunches, put out uniforms/work outfit for me, do the kids baths, then chill for the day. Current pain levels are “highly unpleasant” rather than yesterday’s “fucking hell” so that’s a step in the right direction, but I only have today where I have the luxury of sitting about and trying to rest up, as this week is going to be busy at work.
Brother in law picked up some pork tenderloins that were reduced yesterday so I need to do something with those for dinner tonight, I’m thinking mexican flavours and wraps and salad, that sort of thing. I’ll have to get them marinating this morning though so need to finalise a plan in my head asap. Then an early night because I’m sure after 9 days of waking at 6 despite no alarm, tomorrow I will struggle to wake up!
Thanks for reminding me that it’s my mum’s birthday today, how can it be June already?!
Gotta try and get my classic car (Rover P6) working again after being sat for a year 😬 got a problem with the clutch so I’m hoping a bleed will sort it. Bloody cars eh 🚗
Got to pop out to pick up a click and collect order. Wrap Father’s Day presents which were bought yesterday.
Feeling a bit bleurgh after yesterday, I don’t cope well with heat 😂
Luteal phase hitting hard this month, so trying to have a gentle weekend. I’m already a naturally anxious person, so when I’m in this phase my brain likes to catastrophize everything. At the moment though I actually do have some legitimate things to be stressed and anxious about, so you can imagine how that’s going.
Public holiday here tomorrow so on the bevvvies!
Batch cooking day! Going to make shakshuka and curry definitely, then see what hit my fancy from a quick flick through the cookbooks. Will probably need to do a shop run at some point but hoping if I aim that for 1 it’ll be a bit quieter.
Daughter’s back at school tomorrow after 2 weeks off (first week was illness, second half term). I’m also back at work, so there’s a lot of shopping, washing, bathing, cleaning to do etc.
I for one can’t wait to go back. I’m absolutely eroded by tidal waves of “Daddy? Daddy? Daddy?”. Of course, I’ll miss these days, she’s in reception now, so the last vestiges of dependency will soon ebb away

Thinking of a trip to Dovedale now.
