I awoke early this morning with a high fever and got under a big blanket for two hours. My body can't take air con or cool wind as I was brought up in Trinidad and Kuwait due to dad's engineering work.

Went to a remote restaurant in the shady mountains and now feeling warmer and looking forward to a BBQ day around the pool tomorrow instead of driving miles to a supermarket or restaurant.

The lovely sunshine is drying my bedlinen, washed today.
I've finished last week's ironing!
Rewarded myself with raspberry iced lolly.

I posted a riviting thread about underwired bras. Where is it? too suggestive?

oops sorry

The weather is absolutely G.....L....O....R.....I.....O.....U.....S.......and it temptrd us both to mingle with the boating crowds at our nearby Marina.

The brreze from the sea kept the temperature exactly just right.

We sat at leisure licking our favourite and quite delightful
Italian ice cream (Since I am religiously sticking to a low fat diet for health reasons this was a REAL treat)

Whilst I was able to follow the pleasurable art of people watching.

Ain`t life good...........and a lot better than this time last week when I knew I was heading for an Operation!!!

Today:
1. I've spent hours sorting the cellar, and can now see the floor. That may not sound a good use of a sunny day, but it's looong overdue!
2. The mouse's nest I found in an old chest of drawers in the corner of said cellar turned out to be uninhabited, phew! Especially as DH tackled it by prodding it with a stick and shining a torch in before carrying it outside.
3. I got the bedlinen and the towels dried in the sun and they smell divine.

My second son got married yesterday (2nd time around) to a wonderful young lady, my eldest has at long last got his own flat & I have a lovely man in my life. Long may it last

Contracts have been exchanged and so the old house is definitely sold. Hurrah!

OH is treating me to a pub supper so no cooking tonight.
