A quick one today. The reason? Sat watching the tennis into the early hours accompanied by a nice glass of brandy. This means that it’s very late and I may be impaired.
After very hectic night’s sleep last night, I managed to oversleep this morning, so missed my yoga class, much to my disappointment. Instead, I got up late and had a bath rather than a shower and washed my hair in defiance. I then crept back into bed for a short while to natter to John.
We finally winkled ourselves out of bed about eleven o’clock. A little potter about in the kitchen, and John spent some time scrolling through stuff on the internet before we had our lunch.
I ate my lunch while talking to youngest son, having already texted him to seek advice about paleo pasta made with chestnut flour. Great advice and a recipe forthwith, so we’ll see how it turns out once I get round to doing it.
After lunch and the chat, a little more Roland Garros, before we decided to go back to Melbick’s garden centre to see if there were any attachments for my hose and anything else exciting there. I was hoping for candles, but nothing doing. At least, they did have candles but only large, fat ones. I am looking for tall, elegant ones.
Once we were back, we had a quick cuppa and a cream cake – whoo-hoo! – before we had to set off for the hospital. This time, it was for a scan on John’s back. I parked up, while John went in to the scanning room, and then I sat outside waiting. For an hour. Dozed a bit…..
Finally, he was done and we trundled back home to get our evening meal as another TV dinner. TV viewing was The Blitz – a great documentary – and, of course, ‘Bake Off’. Then, as were we flicking from recordings to the main event, what should come up but more Roland Garros. This time, it’s Nadal versus a new, 19-year old player on the circuit, so naturally, I had to stay up and watch it didn’t I? A bizarre scenario though. They commenced playing around eleven-thirty at night and the match finished at around two in the morning (French time, I hastily add!). I mean, how mad is that?? I always knew the French were crazy, but still….. even for them that’s a bit far, in my opinion. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it.
We didn’t watch a great deal of news today, but still noted, for what it’s worth, that it’s just the 14,542 (!!!) people who have been confirmed as positive for the virus today; and there have been just the 76 families devastated by virus-related deaths in the community; and 25 more people died a COVID-related death in hospitals on Sunday and Monday.
Not great is it? And 3 new cases in the last seven days in Balsall Common.
I’m washing my hands. How about you? Stay safe everyone. God bless.
