Today is a beautiful sunny and warm day.. I had to go to radiology at the hospital today for some tests.but fortunately a local hospital, so I didn't have to travel far.

I was irritated at the hospital where we have to pay £4 to park up to 2 hours.. but the parking machine wouldn't take card.. with a sign attached saying that notes could be changed at a machine inside the hospital reception area for change for the parking machine... but I had no cash with me, only my debit card because we're told that we must pay contactless wherever we go.... I risked a £25 fine parking without a ticket but I had no option.., and fortunately I didn't get a fine, but how very annoying!!

Picked up some groceries on the way home... then I've been sitting out in the garden for about 45 minutes enjoying the sun and catching up on my reading...

Just came in because my garden is starting to go into the little bit of chilly shade..

It is raining today, a soft gentle rain and it’s 55 degrees. I went for my walk. Then I worked out in the front garden, in the rain, pulling, digging up weeds (not using legs of course) from the annual garden which I am going to mulch over due to the drought.

The dirt is very soft and while it hurts my back to bend so much, it has to be done. And my very overweight husband will not do this job. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s a slightly raised bed which does make it easier. I got it done and ended up soaking wet covered in mud.

Came inside, stripped, 😳, showered, and am washing my garden clothes. I signed up for HBO Max, finally, and watched Justice League. It was 4 hours long 😂. At times a little tedious, but it was 1 am and I couldn’t sleep. It was pretty good, But it was never ending.

I am now watching tv in my nightie with a heating pad on my back, and waiting for his majesty to wake up. It’s 10:00 am and I want to go to Home Depot. I don’t drive much so I have to wait for him.
 
We're finally getting a couple of days of warm and dry weather. I spent about 5 hours mowing most of the yard, and the big meadow below the house. Tomorrow, I hope to get the weed whacker out and trim around all the dozens of trees, and the roadside ditch. Now, I've done enough for one day, so a little relaxing at the computer, then a good shower, and try to stay awake when I hit the recliner after Supper. More rain forecasted for tomorrow night and most of Wednesday.
 
What am i doing today.
#1 dragging my butt some.....late on video call last nite.
Morning cleaning chores.
My lawn mower found its' way back last nite from oil change and blade sharpening.
Getting organized for yard cleanup.....promises of great temps this week.....so this is the week.
Already got my electric blower ready to go......use my electric one for clean up instead of my battery one.....electric one is a super strong blower.....use a rake very little.
I'm sure they'll be a lot of fetch games while outside too.
 
The fashion queen dawns the appropriate gear for yard work. My shoes are still covered in mud and wet so I put on thick winter socks that hopefully will help my feet not freeze. I am, no surprise, working in the garden.

Edit: cold muddy feet, cold muddy hands, farmer Aneeda will let it warm up a bit more 🥶

First day off after six days on. Slept til noon been enjoying alternating essential tasks with sitting on the screened back porch, enjoying the bird song and the breeze. Got some new books from the library. Trying new combinations for fruit smoothies— frozen bananas and strawberries blended in vanilla almond milk is pretty good 😄
 
I had no plans today,but decided it was time to clean out my linen closet it was looking cluttered.I also have a section for bathroom items e.g Colgate toothpaste,Dove soap bars,kleenex
I cleaned off the 3 shelves,45 min later what a difference.I found 3 more bars of soap,3 tubes of toothpaste I didn't know I bought
I took a short walk before lunch,certainly turned into a nice warm spring day temp in the 60's
 
They are going to start the install work for the AC today so staying home and working in the yard. Like always. Hope it’s done before Friday which is supposed to be 80 degrees. 32 and raining one day, 80 degrees the next. Spring in Utah, 🤮.
 
Got all the chores done, no outside work today, it's threatening to rain.

We need the rain, its been hot and dry for a couple of weeks.

Got my Driving licence back today, it has to be renewed every 10 years at a cost of £14 .. (new photograph as well).. until age 70 then renewed every 3 years for free..

Just watching the wheelie bin cleaners out of the window, they've upped their prices and are putting notices through everyone's letter boxes..
