Day 438 another productive day and Abbie the Campervan returns!

Oh you learn to love that 4.45am alarm…. NOT!!! I did not want to move this morning after that luxury of the 3 hour long lie yesterday. But I did. And boy was the Fit Body Farm a killer this morning?!?

MORNING!!!!!

Team Avery worked together in a challenge. 100m each on the Ski-erg machine, heavy sled 🛷 pushes and pulls and a whole lot of burpees followed by broad jumps.

The burpee is evil.

At the end of this you jump on two feet as far as you can and do the whole thing again.
Check the stance on the sled pulls
4 times down the gym and 4 times back up! Craig had already finished by the time he took this. Of course he had.
The white petals are all over the road

So back home, quick coffee and then snuck up on some of the housework. Bathrooms 🚽 🚽✅ stairs ✅ upstairs bedroom ✅ hallway ✅ and Craig did the living room, kitchen and sunroom. Every time we do this, I do say how much I love a clean house. Just in time for the weekend. By this time it’s only 10am and I took the dogs for a walk.

It’s very windy!

Now the Rambling Sloth has a newly appointed plant consultant, I messaged my neighbour Helen this morning to ask what the white hedgerow bushes were. She said they are Hawthorn blossoms. When she was a child she was told that an abundance of blossoms meant there was a hard winter to come. If this auld wives tale is to be believed then this winter is going to be shocking methinks…. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😬😆

Such a beautiful wee flower close up
This gate is being taken over by hawthorn, cowslip and buttercups! Nature wins.
Cowslip is everywhere too!!

Winter is coming!

The rhododendrons are in full force again
The woods are really dark! Everything has sprouted since I was last here.
The bad news is that they were muck spreading our field!!!! Ok so not our field but you know what I mean 😢
A run about the woods instead!

I had a lovely chat with my 80 year old friend as I walked around. 💜

I’m not sure where the rest of the day went?! I got Abbie the camper van back from the garage. The part was £3.01 and the labour was £240 😱😳🤷🏻‍♀️. Let’s hope it’s the last time that turbo is out for a few years at least.

So I’ve barely left the house and it’s been an expensive weekend and it’s only Friday!!

Oh should share last nights dinner as it was sooooo good! Chicken, mushroom and leak with cheesy crumble!. The best Hello Fresh yet!

I’m very tired now, I needed a nap this afternoon and didn’t get one so will need to get an early night or I’ll be really grumpy.

If I warn Craig through the blog then he’ll know 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😬😂🥰

Spending the evening in the village pub with some neighbours catching up on the week’s news. I will get that nap tomorrow…. Or there will be trouble. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😬😆

Have a good weekend y’all.

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
