How lovely to have had them there to belatedly celebrate your birthday Caroline, I'm sure all the work before and after was worth it. The little one sounds very adventurous, gherkins indeed! Hope he liked them. Your talk of the lovely warm weather has made me very envious.
My day:
It was raining this morning when I got up, hadn't been expecting that. When it brightened up a bit I thought of going out but then the drizzle started again. Actually it was more of a sea fret. Was it Peter Kay who talked about 'that fine rain that really wets you '? So instead I did some cleaning.
Then, as mentioned in the Saturday diary, I experienced an ocular migraine. I was texting a friend at the time and realised I the jagged light in my eye wasn't caused by looking at the sun as it wasn't out. No headache, only lasted about ten minutes but left me feeling rather nauseous and with a fuzzy head. I did the sensible thing and rested.
Mid afternoon I went for a walk, thought it might clear my head. It wasn't really cold but I was feeling chilly, it was still cloudy. The field was really wet, came back with soggy feet. I think I'll have to buy some waterproof trainers for the autumn and winter, I've been using the ones I (used to) wear to the gym.
Didn't really do anything much until my Tesco delivery arrived at 5pm. When the driver brought the crates to the door she showed me the plastic liners in the crates. I'd had a message yesterday that said that from the 21st they wouldn't be delivering in carrier bags as they have been during the pandemic but customers could opt to have them at a 40p charge. I don't particularly want lots of bags but neither did I fancy picking every item out of the crates. The driver said they were offering these liners as another option, they were pretty good, just pick up the four corners and carry through to the kitchen. So that's what I'll go for.
Got some pasta sauce out of the freezer for tea but forgot to get the cooked chicken out to have with it so mixed some tuna in instead. Didn't think a glass of wine would be a good idea tonight.
That's all. Hope the new week brings better news for the UK.
