Day 1249 a gorgeous day off work! Even hotter!

It’s been a scorcher today. What a truly beautiful day. ☀️☀️☀️

I’m so lucky to have had the day off work to enjoy it.

I had a dreadful sleep. I was going to call the blog… “can Tiramisu really keep you awake?!?” 😂

I have no idea what did keep me awake. I had half a bottle of alcohol free Kopparberg and some Tiramisu with dinner last night. This was me for most of the night….

Wide awake!!!!

The bedroom was hot which didn’t help. Someone may or may not have been snoring but shall remain nameless 😂

I moved downstairs at midnight and tried to sleep under a crochet blanket. It was much cooler and I did sleep, I know this because I then woke up cold! Figures.

So traipsed back upstairs to bed for a few hours. Eventually got up at 7.

Check Craig’s new T-shirt that says MAL-IN-WAH (Khaleesi is a Malinois in case that doesn’t make sense to you!!)

Safe to say that’s she’s settling in great.

We had some freshly ground coffee(it sounds so lovely when you say it like that!) and then decided to take the FOUR dogs out for a walk.

FOUR…..

For the first time.

And it actually went very well.

As I said, it’s a beautiful morning, it’s hot. I have shorts and a vest top on at 8am. That doesn’t happen often up here. (Sometimes I write like we are in the North Pole… 😂😂)

I should say here, Craig was with me. No way on this earth I’m doing 4 by myself.

Khaleesi thought it was cold and wet when she heard she was coming to Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 it’s almost been the best weather all year this week. What a great way to get her used to the climate.

Here she is looking positively tropical on her outdoor bed!

When I got back I crossed lots of things off my list.

Called to reschedule my Breast Screening Clinic appointment which is the day before we go on holiday, right in the middle of the day and in the opposite direction to work! I changed it to the same day at 9am so at least I’m not out of work for a huge chunk of the day.

I hung out the washing.

I sorted all the stuff that I took out of Abbie the Campervan and decided what will go back into Bertie Beeetle…. Which is precious little to be fair 😂😂 tried to find a home for the rest.

I picked up my HRT prescription, ordered in the nick of time as I’d used my last patch.

I posted jeans I sold on Vinted.

I went to the little gift shop to see Gayle and bought ANOTHER Christmas present.

Who actually am I these days?!?

I went to Tesco and did a food shopping to cover the weekend.

Spectrum Windows came to have a look at the patio doors at the back of the house as the locks are being temperamental.

Craig came home at lunchtime and suggested Mocha Jak’s with Khaleesi. Now I should say that I bought plenty for lunch but I am NEVER gonna say not to a coffee shop!! Also think that he likes the fact that Khaleesi was found at a coffee shop. (

Actually I’ll do a link to his FB post from yesterday, telling her story)

Khaleesi of the Unbreakable Spirit – Scottish Dog Behaviourist

I ordered a halloumi and pesto salad bowl. I am OBSESSED with salad. I also ordered a Strawberry cream brownie. 😋

Oh my actual word it was exquisite and I only managed a tiny bite sized piece and brought the rest home. My stomach has shrunk!!

Phew, as I write that down I feel quite justified for sitting out in the sunshine. It’s still only 4pm. The day is yet young.

Have a great weekend y’all!

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
