It has rained all day non stop , it feels like October not July. I saw Pippa and Freddie at my mothers for a couple of hours  , this afternoon I have been looking for a necklace that Pippa mentioned a while back, she will be 35 in a few weeks and I want to get it so Freddie can give it to her, he drew a lovely picture of Pippa and him, and the necklace company will engrave the picture on to the necklace pendant, it was the first time he had ever drawn anything that looks like a person although he did not draw any arms , I just hope I can find the company who do it.

Good morning everyone.

Its dry at the moment but we've had constant showers.

Its Lola's belated birthday celebrations today so they will be coming over and we'll be going out somewhere with a picnic

Evening ladies. It's been a really odd day here, we didn't get the threatened thunder and lightening it was blue skies and sun all day but a bitter cold wind. Then late afternoon it started raining and is now drizzling and the wind's died down a bit. 

I've not done much today at all. Had a few phone calls which went on longer than I'd like. I'm not keen on football so this evening I've been watching a programme about Patagonia wildlife and now one about the beginnings and history of Venice, with Francesco da.Mosto presenting. His family have lived in Venice since it was first built. It's been really interesting and I probably wouldn't have chosen to watch it if there'd been anything else on, but I'm glad I did. I like his programmes about Venice, he's a bit of a silver fox, thick head of silver hair and quite good looking with that sexy Italian accent. So it's not been all bad tonight LOL 

Not going out tomorrow as we went out Wednesday I think, can't remember which now. I can't really afford to too often. I did go over to see Chloe Friday and took a couple of books I'd ordered from Amazon for Jackie and Suzanne.

Next week I've got 2 parcels due from Temu. More jumpers for the coming winter. If you're careful what you buy you can get some real bargains. The jumpers I've bought earlier have been really lovely. I wait til they're on a flash sale and then buy them. I've got enough now though. The most expensive was just over £5, but most have been around £4. The quality was good too. I try and stick to the same sellers as I know their stuff is as good as Damart and Ambrose Wilson. I think they're probably the same manufacturers to be honest. 

It's cold this evening so had to shut the window vents up as there was quite a draught. I dont think we're going to have a proper summer this year, it's July already and only another couple of months left before Autumn arrives. pffft.

Good afternoon, a wet and windy day, my mother came over for lunch and has just gone home. I am wishing this month away , Pippa has two very important hospital appointments in the next couple of weeks, I usually go with her which is fine but I am getting quite worried about these appointments , normally I don't really give her appointments too much thought , I go with her as she can't remember everything that has happened to her in her life and so I fill in anything she can't remember but the upcoming appointments have taken on a more serious feeling and I think she is feeling like me, quite nervous.
 

Good morning everyone.

It's damp outside and very cloudy.  

I'm off to bowls this afternoon.
