I woke before 6am.
It was calm and sunny outside.
I mentioned recently that a guy I used to work with had died, well, this morning I watched his funeral. I love that I was able to do that when I couldn’t get time off work to be there.
I laughed and I cried but most of all I remember Des coming into my office and smiling and calling me Jules as he always did. Des was larger than life, everyone knew he was around when he walked in the office. He adored his daughters and granddaughter and showed me photos of them all the time. It was a lovely service for a lovely man.
We got up after 7am and had coffee outside. It was already clouding over.
We had to take Bertie Beetle down to the garage before 9am.
I got a towel for my shower and a MASSIVE spider crawled out!!! It was ENORMOUS. The capital letters don’t do it justice.
I SCREAMED at the top of my lungs and ran through the house.
It was GIGANTIC!!!
My Apple Watch chose that moment to vibrate and deliver a message.
I started jumping around trying to shake it off my wrist.
Comical upon reflection but honestly I’m still shivering and trying to shake it off.
Funny how those tiny creatures do that to us…. 🤦🏻♀️😂
We dropped the car off and walked the 3 dogs back up the road. It’s a good hour and 10 minute walk, too long a walk for Khaleesi on her sore legs.
How lovely is this wall that we passed? The tiny flowers are so pretty.
I did stop to think when we got here… I’m conscious I get bored with the same walks all the time but we really are so lucky to live here.
The smell of the wild garlic is everywhere.
When I got home I really angrily started on the housework. It really needs doing but I really don’t enjoy doing it.
I know….. who does, but sometimes I approach it from a place of enjoyment. Today it just felt like hard work.
There is dog hair EVERYWHERE…. I’m shouting a lot today with my capitals 🤦🏻♀️😂. I also get frustrated about things being out of the place and I feel like I’m moving stuff around the house. I’m aware it made me angry today and I stomped about the house like a spoiled child. I was in such a huff that I had to do it.
So….. I dragged Craig out to Mocha Jaks for lunch. He’s got the start of a cold so is currently passed out on the couch as I write this.
He had a chicken and bacon club toastie and I had veggie haggis with cheese and siracha.
I’d fasted for 18 hours and 45 minutes so I really enjoyed my meal.
I had an oat milk latte and a Biscoff Rocky Road.
We popped past our friend Euan and had a peppermint tea and a chat before Craig ran me to the garage…… my car was parked away in this wee corner!
Turns out it has a dry bush.
It now has a wet bush.
Good to know. 😂
More importantly, the wetting of the bush didn’t cost me anything 😂
On the way back, I went to the Co-op to get some food for the weekend…. We’re heading away tomorrow for an overnight in Tayvalich with Lindsay and Euan.
I had a bath to relax when I got home. It’s only 6.20pm now and I could quite easily sleep already!
Have the best weekend!
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
