Back to the heat!

I took today off as we have been quiet at work, and I had a lot of things to get done. Keith went shopping first thing while I tackled some household chores, such as washing bedding and getting it out to dry on the line in the sunshine. It was set to be hot again today, but hopefully the weather will cool down a bit tomorrow.

I spent the morning pootling about the house and trying to stay cool! As well as numerous washes, I sorted my clothes out for Berlin. The weather looks like a mixed bag with cooler, rainier conditions for Monday, but I think I'll get away with dresses this time! We just want it to stay dry for Sunday evening, when we have tickets to see Ben Howard at an outdoor concert.

Keith returned from shopping and helped out by ironing some of the clothes I needed. I went to see Mum in the afternoon, and had a pleasant chat with her for over an hour. Again, I haven't told her we're going to Berlin, as I think it would just upset her. 

Back home, I carried on with more housework and did my exercises to help my heel. I'm starting to worry it will never get better, and just hope it doesn't play up too much in Berlin!

Sophie came home from work and spent an hour trying to take out the links on a strap for her new Apple watch. She'd bought it from her friend Becky at a bargain price! It will be able to tell her accurately in Berlin how many steps we've walked every day!

Once that was done, we prepared a lovely supper of cold meats, salad and new potatoes and caught up with an episode of Panda, accompanied by a glass of rosé!
