      We played some cards and now T'other Half is snoozing so I have been continuing my writing on my childrens' novel. We will probably watch a movie then sit outside for a few hours before dinner.

        Been a tad lazy this afternoon. The weather is gorgeously sunny so we've been sat outside since dinner. Had a video call with our eldest and his girlfriend.
        Right time to knuckle down to some gardening jobs.:biggrin:

            Congratulations Mr and Mrs @MrDigwell it's very pretty, you well deserve the prize :dbgrtmb:

            That was a lovely walk @Upsydaisy what a charming place to live, I hope you enjoy tomorrow as well. Take care though ... :smile:


            I went out to lunch with a friend today, we were ex-colleagues. She talked about her cats and I talked about my garden. It was nice to talk to someone in person in stead of on the phone or email, I felt like a human being again.

              @Upsydaisy that's a great place where you live but take it easy.
              Have you tried swimming as a exercise? but not in the lake.

                Yes use to go with a friend but not that keen. Another friend and I use to go to aquacise classes and had hoped to start up again once the pool reopened but I have been advice not to do any real exercise until a firm diagnosis has been made .

                My brother and his friends use to swim in the lakes opposite our house way back in his younger days before his disability got acute.

                            They played that one. Yes, it is nice. She is gorgeous and her hair is lovely but I don't care for it short. Did you know she is the "mother-in-law" of Kelly Clarkson?

                              It started at 9pm Upsy, haven't watched any tennis for years (used to play it as a child) but that was one of the best matches I've ever seen! The standard of play was incredibly high considering the fact that these girls are only 18 and 19 and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the match! Raducanu seems like a lovely girl who deserved to win and this is really only the start of her tennis career, I'm excited to see how well she does in future! I bet she'll inspire thousands of girls in the UK to take up the sport and we'll end up with an even higher standard of play. :blue thumb:
