Once this was done and the chicken was marinating in the fridge, I went out into the garden with Keith. He was trimming the bushes at the back and I helped pick up all the leaves and branches, before mowing the lawn. It was hot again and we were both soon sweaty and warm! However, by the time we'd finished, it was looking lovely and neat! It's amazing that cutting the lawn and trimming the edges makes everything look so much better!
I had a lovely cool shower before going with Sophie to an appointment she had booked at midday to take part in a research survey. The clinic was in the car park at Tesco which was handy, and she had to answer some questions and have a blood test for cholesterol, as well as being weighed, measured, and her blood pressure taken.
I went in with her and the clinic was blissfully cool! It was all over within half an hour and we ventured into Tesco to buy some nibbles in readiness for Vikesh coming over to see her in the afternoon to play Scrabble. Predictably, the supermarket was heaving and we rushed around getting what she needed before going home.
I had some lunch and then ventured upstairs to the cool of our bedroom where I lay on the bed with the fan trained on me! Vikesh arrived and he and Sophie feasted on the treats she'd bought and played two games of Scrabble.
I looked at the weather and saw that a band of rain was moving our way so I went downstairs, gathered the washing in off the line and closed the roof vent in the conservatory. It was very cloudy and stormy-looking, but we didn't get any rain or thunder, unfortunately!
Vikesh returned home even though we'd said we'd love for him to stay for dinner, and Sophie put the finishing touches to the curry, It was delicious and smelled so authentic!
After we'd eaten we sampled some of the gorgeous cakes that Vikesh had bought for us when he went to Leicester yesterday. They were so moreish!
