A fun morning for you MH. I do admire you for getting on a bike. It's something, even as a child, I can't do without falling off after a couple of minutes.
Caroline, I feel for you. Not sleeping well is awful, I have nights like that, always have but as I have got older I can't cope with them anymore.
Roobarb, how lovely to feel the sea breeze. I do envy those that live close to the coast.
You all seem to like watching the sewing bee, I haven't watched it, perhaps I should.
I felt quite frazzled yesterday. Hairdressers appointment in the morning. It was very hot, and as I was having foils in I knew I would be there for about 3 hours. Sitting there for 3 hours wearing a mask was a nightmare. I could feel my whole body over heating and felt quite faint at times. I asked why they couldn't open the door to allow some airflow but they said they couldn't as the only people that could enter the salon were those with appointments, they couldn't allow people just to wander in. They do have air conditioning but it wasn't very effective. I was so glad to get out of there!
On my way home I stopped off to buy a mouse trap. I put that down where I thought their route to Bob's biscuits was. That didn't last long. Bob thought it was a new toy and excitedly pushed it around the kitchen with his nose. It does say the trap is harmless to pets but I wasn't taking any chances. That, and after what I paid for it, I decided to remove it and put it down just before I went to bed.
I took Bob out for a walk down the canal. Sometimes he lags behind sniffing every blade of grass so I just carry on walking and he catches me up. It was a couple of minutes and no sign of him so I back tracked to see where he was only to find him enjoying a sausage from a BBQ that someone on a boat was having. Apparently he had helped himself to the sausage, I was mortified but the boat people thought it was hilarious and were making a big fuss of him which he was lapping up.
Back home I continued reading a book that I had started the day before, I really got into it and couldn't put it down, so no TV last night just reading. I finished it about 1am and went to bed, it was still very hot and I knew I was in for a restless night.
I know we are all genealogy fans on here so the book may interest you if you like crime fiction mixed in with genealogy. The book is called 'Where the silent scream are loudest.' It is by an author called John Pye, an ex detective. I haven't read any of his books before but I do recommend this one.
