YAWN, YAWN, WAKEY, WAKEY - 2021

Wow I’m a bit ashamed to say this..... but I’ve only just woke up! , I went to bed at 10.15pm too, must of needed the rest, I did feel pretty beaten by work. So just having breakfast and watching fantasy homes by the sea (Cornwall) my favourite place

Moyra glad to here the NHS are looking after you it will be over before you know it and feeling proud of yourself

well it’s raining cats and dogs for the 6th day now, my lawn is looking lovely and green but in need of a good trim now, sunshine is forecast for next Sunday so for today I am doing my flat packed storage bench, I will take a photo if all goes to plan!, Enjoy the weather everyone

 

You're just like our middle son @Flumpy, he's never up much before 11 at weekends either!!
Not sure where he gets it from hubs and I have always been early wakers 5:30 - 6:30 albeit I don't necessarily get up then usually catch up on here but hubs gets up . Even when I've felt completely shattered and felt like I will sleep for a week...no such luck still wake at the normal time. Guess my body thinks differently and doesn't need much rest.

Not sure if I will be enjoying the thunderstorms this afternoon though.

 

I am up at 6am all week though, usually I’m up about 8am sat ready to do my chores but I’ve been that shattered due to work being so busy all year. Finally finished our flat packed storage bench got a nice sore back and knees now, and it’s still raining here, my garden is going into overdrive , what’s it like where you live Upsydaisy?

 

Mixture today @Flumpy ,I've been mostly gardening in the rain today . Every now and then we get a glimmer of sun .Had torrential rain and thunder this afternoon too.

I like your storage bench, is it for shoes?

 

Hi Upsydaisy, yes it’s for our shoes, bought it from the Range, it was a bit fiddly to put together, but it’s strong and sturdy and a memory foam seat for while we get our shoes off. We’ve just cancelled our holiday for Lanzarote, hubby doesn’t want to chance it this year, we where meant to go last year too , but I’m still keeping my time off, I will need a break by August .
Hope the weather cheers up Upsydaisy for me and you

 

I know how you feel @Flumpy . Our last proper holiday was in 2001!!! To be honest I prefer long weekends away now. I am not keen on flying really and the thought of busy airports puts me right off anyway. I can remember our last holiday because we hadn't seen or heard any news and I phoned my parents to check on them and Mum told us about 9/11 ...we were so shocked!!!

We do have breaks away now and then but planning when to leave the garden is so difficult!! Use to be the kids causing problems now it's the garden!

Best time would be in the winter I suppose ,but really not keen then.

Luckily we have lovely friends in lovely places too, Norfolk, Yorkshire, Dorset Cornwall ....and if I didn't mind flying ( or leaving my garden for a length of time) then we have friends in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, America, Canada , Turkey and of course Hubs family back in his homeland too.

We do enjoy our shorter distance breaks especially to all our sons , whenever we go to stay with any of them we can guarantee on seeing the other two too at some point. We also love our breaks down in Dorset too.

 

Don't forget Portugal!

 

Yes it's difficult isn't it. I just feel that at our time of life too our garden gives us so much pleasure that it's worth giving up longer breaks away to maintain it.

We enjoy seeing our brood's holiday pics now, up until Covid there was always one of them jetting off somewhere either on a holiday or on a long weekend break. If they put in the hour's during the week they can easily have extended breaks it seems

 

How could I Vicky!!!! All that rowing I do to visit you to enjoy basking in the sun lounging on your beautiful Jungle Room patio and not forgetting my trips over to clean your patios too!!

I am on very familiar terms with the Bay of Biscay it treats my tummy very gently now. I think it feels sorry for me after that mishap I had a while ago. But it was well worth it!! xx

 

Good morning Woo, good morning everyone. Same here too , a lovely start to the day ..don't know how long for but we'll enjoy it while it lasts

Have a restful Sunday .

 

Good morning all. Have a good day, take a lot of care and above all stay safe and well. God bless.
