Will move the last cartful of stones to the trough......will order 1/3 of a yard of stones to finish.....won't get here till late today.
Finish those ones Saturday.
Dragging my butt a bit......my body is really tired from this week......body is also feeling the cooler temps.
So.....will shorten up my work day today.
 

It's been a glorious sunny warm day today... I managed to go out today , and I had to go to the next town to get a bank because we don't have a local branch near us to be able to deposit cheques , so many bricks and mortars banks have closed down in the last couple of years, soon there will be none left ...

. The town was really busy , traffic jams everywhere, not helped by roadworks on just about every road I drove on, and temp traffic lights holding everything up.....even the supermarket car park was full.. I have no idea why everyone was out in such numbers today... :unsure:

I picked up some groceries from the supermarket , didn't need much, but I got some fresh Tuna steaks.. some smoked trout Pate ... and a few other fishes...and some Mushroom/Ham , and Buffalo Mozzarella pizza..

Had to top up the oil and water in my car today. It just occurred to me it hadn't been done since it's last service so I checked it, and good thing I did because both were quite low...

Just wondering, @hollydolly
if Fridays are typically more crowded everyplace, there by you,
due to people wanting to stock up ahead, in order to avoid needing to shop or do errands on the weekends... because it would be very crowded then....o_O:rolleyes:;):LOL:

On my early walk this morning around 6:20,it was 65 no wind refreshingly cool.When I returned,did my usual watering task plants/flowers in community garden
After breakfast,took the bus to grocery store my friend,Thora&I go most Fridays. She had a dr's appt, couldn't go I needed couple items, picked up copies of free TV listings for the week.I was in&out of store in 15 min,I'm used to taking the bus,was home within 45 min.I put copy in Thora's mailbx,and 2 other residents.The rest I left on table in our mailroom
This afternoon after lunch&nap went outside,sat in the garden for 45 min with my 2 neighbors,Pat&her aide,Katie, Eileen.It was too beautiful a day to be inside.Katie left at 2:30,so I brought Pat back inside,she lives right next door to me.Eileen lives across the way
 
This weekend we shall be missing many a good friend. They have all gone to one of the best retro festivals on the calendar. "The Goodwood Revival." https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1...AhWOHxQKHZwGDyoQjJkEegQIBBAC&biw=1366&bih=625 We are saying farewell to a dear loved one at his funeral next Tuesday morning. Getting to the Revival at Chichester, get home, straight out to the Essex/London border, stay overnight and so on. It's all too much. But we will be going to The Revival next year.
 
This morning woke up at 6,walked outside around 6:20 wearing my yellow reflector vest since it was still a bit dark outside.I walked once around apt complex as I headed to the garden to water the plants/flowers.It was cool out 56,didn't bother me
This morning for my long walk of the day,to/from my church attending our later service at 10:30.Last week I was at our early one at 8:15. I'm a morning person,but I rushed to attend that service because it was the 1st Sun with our new minister,Rev Dr Todd Leach,who is wonderful.I have to decide which service will be better .I've been attending the early one for a few yrs but not at 8:15,it was always at 8:45. At later service,I see more church members listen to choir
The rest of my day,read local paper go for afternoon walk since its another beautiful day
 
It's very humid here. I was supposed to be raining all day until late tonight, that was the forecast, but so far it's not rained at all, and it's 3pm.

I spent the morning cutting the Ivy back on the big brick shed in my garden ... and trimming the long branches on the holly tree which were heading for the pathway... . . I managed to get it all neat & tidy, and I would have liked to have got more done , but because the humidity is so high I couldn't go any further..

Got all the Oscillating fans on in the house , and all the windows open, can't wait for this rain to come and break this humidity

I'll be going to the grocery store for a few items.

Grandson coming over for supper tonight. I think I'll surprise him and say "no" when he asks me if there's anything he can help me with.

Listen, they say as you get older you should never pass the opportunity of using the loo if you're passing one. I firmly believe the same should apply to big strong grandsons.. when they ask if you need anything done, always have something, however small... :sneaky::ROFLMAO:
 
Today, I'm at the park with one set of the grands, waiting for the splash park to open at noon (website said it opens at 11, of course).

Yesterday, I took the other two Halloween costume shopping. After about an hour of "THIS IS THE ONE I WANT....WAIT, THIS IS THE ONE I WANT.....NO, THIS IS THE ONE I WANT!", I grabbed the ones they were holding and said, "Oh no, the store is closing (it was 2 p.m.) and we have to check out!!!" Luckily, I can get away with that for awhile. They were perfectly happy with the ones they got, but we'd still be there trying to choose if I hadn't gotten them out of the store......
 
Today doing laundry and doing some chores I have neglected. Trying to sit with my feet up in between. Sonny brought me water this morning on his way to the stock car show. He wasn't mad at me for not going, he understands about my feet and how the hot weather makes them worse. He brought more spring mix for Rabbit too (he's been eating like a pig.....fall causes him to do that).

Your Sonny sounds like such a great guy!

He's definitely a keeper...:)
 
Got home from a short RV trip so I know tomorrow’s chore will be laundry. It certainly wasn’t ideal weather except for the soothing sound of rain on the camper roof. We may take a couple more days away before the season ends. Because so many people bought RVs so they could vacation during Covid, there are few sites available even though school is back in. We seniors are out in full force. I have never seen so many RVs on the road. Normally snowbirds would be waiting to take their rigs south. Since the border to the US is still closed and seems likely to remain that way, they’re doing the vacationing here.

Exactly the same thing has happened here..camper vans, RV's galore all bought during Covid, so people are holidaying in the UK because of the difficulty of going abroad.., so there's very little space on camp grounds for anyone to just take a day trip or 2...
