Woke up reasonably early, was thinking about getting up then all of a sudden it was an hour later. Don't know if it was the heat that sent me back to sleep, the bedroom was so clammy, had to splash cold water on my face to wake up. Took my second cup of tea outside, could have just dropped off again in the warmth!
Off for my walk, was wearing sandals so could feel that the grass on the field was moist, hadn't seen or heard any rain. Glorious sunshine, not many people about, must have all gone to the beach early.
Was having my lunch when the doorbell went ding ding ding ding ding, followed by a load of loud knocking on the door, nearly jumped out of my skin. It was a woman delivering a parcel, she said she always knocks when she can't hear the doorbell as she doesn't know if it's working. The parcel contained my parasol base, hooray! Took it into the back garden, filled it with water and had to stand it on its side to put the plug in, I thought it wasn't going to fit but it did when I gave it a good push. Initially thought the parasol wasn't going to fit either but worked out what to do despite no instructions, tightened it up and it was perfect. Really pleased as it was another scorcher but a nice breeze today.
Did very little all day, sat in the sun with my head in the shade of the parasol, reading my Kindle. Just after 4pm I went to meet my friend, she was so glad to be out after working from home all day. We had a lovely walk down to the coast road again, breezier there but much nicer than the last time. Stood aside down the lane to let a couple through, not many people on our way. She then led the way through some woodland that I didn't know existed, round by some allotments and back across the field towards home. About an hour and a quarter walk, really enjoyed it.
Been reading an article in our local paper about the amount of rubbish that had been left on our beach including dirty nappies, yuck, how disgusting. Local people had cleared it up, shouldn't have to.
Tea and telly, that's it for tonight. Hope everyone has enjoyed the sunshine, make the most of it, rain forecast to move across the country some time tomorrow.
